dragons in the flower bed Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Totally uninspired about dinner tonight. What's gluten-free and vegetarian but full of protein and not something I've eaten a hundred times this year so far already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well, we are having fish tacos. Maybe you could have roasted vegetable tacos? With a spicy creamy dressing instead of salsa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We're vegan, but not gluten free. However, I'm making channa masala (chickpeas and potatoes in a tomato-based curry sauce), onion chutney, basmati and puri. Actually, I guess everything but the puri is gluten free. And it does have plenty of protein. (Ooops, I forgot to mention that I'm also putting some sliced tomatoes on the table.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hm, sorry, we're having spaghetti. Not very inspired. Have you done spaghetti squash with marinara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma23peas Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Oh my goodness, the absolute worse meal! Day 3 of the 3 day diet...I am so ready for real food! :) 1/2 cup tuna 1 cup cauliflower 1 carrot 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream... YUCK! I don't even like vanilla ice cream! But it has definitely curbed my appetite and I"ve lost about 6 pounds...but I think it's because now I really don't want to eat :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Depends on how fast I can get the ckicken drumsticks to defrost. It might end up being scrambled eggs and green beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wait! I've solved your dinner problem! Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on gluten-free bread! ;) Add some veggies and hummus and you're golden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 How about a baked potato drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt, and topped with veggies roasted w balsamic vinegar. Or lentil tacos in corn tortillas or gf tortillas, or put it over tortilla chips. I haven't made this yet, but it looks so good everytime I see it: http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2012/02/easy-sweet-potato-veggie-burgers-with.html You'd have to sub other gf flour and gf breadcrumbs for the Panko and have gf buns. If dairy's okay, this is delicious with lots of fresh cilantro: http://steamykitchen.com/10989-indian-dal-nirvana.html We're having coleslaw made with a garlic vinaigrette instead of mayo, and I add very small pieces of broccoli and cauliflower for added crunch. Even my picky veggie eater devours this. Served with sloppy joes. Easy, but meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaney Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Something on the fly. Need to be at a soccer game 40 minutes away by 5:30. Marinated flank steak in the grill for tomorrow though:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We're having organic corn tortilla chips w/cheesy refried bean dip, mashed sweet potatoes, salad. Weird combo, I know. I'm actually doubling up because we're bringing a meal to a family that can't have beef, soy, eggs, or nuts. Should've stuck some chicken in there somewhere. Oh well.

justLisa Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 quinoa or brown rice and chickpeas with roasted veggie puree! I use butternut squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes, subbing more/less of whatever I have. roast with w EVOO then puree with a little salt/pepper and broth to make a sauce. Fresh thyme is a bonus. My kids love it with parmesan poured over pasta. Kind of like mac n cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Totally uninspired about dinner tonight. What's gluten-free and vegetarian but full of protein and not something I've eaten a hundred times this year so far already? I just pulled out a spinach lasagna from the oven. GF noodles, of course. Do you eat cheese? I used cottage cheese in it. I got the recipe from the Gluten Free Cooking for Dummies. I love making lasagna because I can make it earlier in the day, and just reheat for dinner time. I had a dinner party this past weekend. Everything I made was vegetarian, dairy free, and gluten free. I made: Roasted Veggies- super easy. Slice any veggies you want, drizzle with olive oil, add salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Roast at 350 for about 15-20 min. Quinoa salad- basically make quinoa and and add any fresh veggies you want. I added cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, watercress, fresh parsley, and lemon juice w/lemon zest.

Momma H Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Today is my husband's and my 20th wedding anniversary. We are taking the kids to a Chinese buffet.

dragons in the flower bed Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 This looks really good! http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2012/02/vegetarian-lettuce-wraps/ Mmm. I usually don't like what is posted on that blog, but I wish I had made this for dinner. I am definitely putting that one on the meal plan. I started out making a spinach & chik pea fritter, but then I saw all the cans of black beans in the fridge and realized I like spinach pancakes a lot without chik peas in them, and so I just boiled red & black beans down in a vegetarian brother with garam masala, made spinach pancakes, and served on top of rice noodles. I didn't like it, but three of the four menfolk I was feeding scarfed it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
