Mother's Day!
We went off to a wonderful Indian Restaurant. Hmmm! and Hmmm! The food was wonderful. And...get this!!!! I could eat it! Gluten, egg, and dairy free.

Cocunut Curry is my new best friend! And Daal! Humm.

I found recipes on Epicurious and I could see some of this in my lunchbox this week!

Easy. Nutritious! And really good...

Lunches

Lunches are a challenge for me these days...Here is one of the things that I can eat and that I think is pretty tasty!!!

Curried Chicken Salad---my way!

2 boneless chicken breasts (steamed, cooled, and diced in chunks)
3 stalks of celery diced
1/2-3/4 c raisins
1 cup Vegenase
1 T curry powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp garlic pepper

Place Vegenase, spices in bowl and thoroughly mix. Add celery, raisins, and chicken. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors marry and serve.

I can't have bread so I put this in a container and eat it like a salad. I have added either sliced almonds or whole cashews just to mix it up a little!!

Enjoy!!!

New challenges eating!

The last few months have been a challenge. NO milk! NO eggs! NO wheat!

I have to say that wheat has been the hardest! It seems that it is in everything!

So cooking and eating have been very basic these days. The first few months I would eat a banana, grapes, and simple romaine salads at lunch. The people at work were convinced that I was an out of this world health food nut. "NO" I would say, "I just know that a banana contains none of the things I am allergic to!"

But I missed processed food.

An awesome friend at work brought me the business card of Stella Lucy in Claremont. God Bless Stella Lucy! I was able to purchase anything in the store (because it is all gluten free!) I did! Big bill! Wonderful food. Mac 'n cheese by Amy's OMG great and wonderful stuff. It tastes so good! Gluten free AND dairy free. Pasta, pretzels, cake mix....all gluten free.
