If you eat Gluten Free & Dairy Free, can you give me ideas

[Prairie~Phlox]

On what all you eat to stay full?

[Spryte]

Are you looking for meal ideas or snack ideas?

I eat a lot more Asian food than I used to, I am only dairy free but Asian food seems to be the easiest for me. It never has dairy. Thai food is dd's favorite.

 

I do use substitutes but the dairy substitutes are usually gluten free. I am making beef stew for dinner tonight.

 

I have been dairy free for nearly ten years now and I am pretty used to it.

Protein, hard boiled eggs are good.

[Slartibartfast]

For snacks I like hard boiled eggs,

hummus with cucumber slices, carrots, and red bell peppers

apples

I make myself smoothies

I make my own popcorn

I like pretzels one can find gluten free versions

I like chips and salsa (one can find gluten free corn chips)

I'm not on a gluten diet but a close relative is. He eats eggs, tempeh, avocado, apples, brown rice, halvah, rice crackers, hummus, lots of vegetables, fish, shrimp, tofu, rice noodles.

[Slartibartfast]

I would start with things that are pretty easy to learn to make

 

I did start making pad thai. It is expensive to eat at pad thai restaurants but making your own pad thai isn't too difficult and the noodles used are rice noodles.

Sweet and regular potatoes

Snack ideas, meals are easier for me. I already eat a ton of fruits & veggies. Thanks for the hummus reminder though. I usually don't eat a lot of eggs, they give me bad gas, not that hummus doesn 't.

More potato chips that you can imagine.  :0P

 

Chicken soup.  (I love soup.)

Chili.

Rice.  Rice crisps.  

Hash browns.  

Guacamole.  For breakfast.  

Buffalo burgers (they have a good mixture of saturated and unsaturated fats that helps you feel sated and keeps your skin soft.)  :0)

Tuna salad--use olive oil instead of mayo for "binder"

 

My dh uses gluten=free breads but I can't eat them because when you don't have gluten, you have to use SOMETHING to bind the grain together, and that usually turns out to be eggs...and I'm deadly allergic to eggs.   But he likes it.  

 

Most of the rest of the stuff has already been mentioned.  

 

I also have to say that butter was the KILLER thing for me to give up--and that EarthBalance has been a wonderful substitute.  For most things, I don't substitute.  I just gave up on them...ice cream and so on.  

 

I've been gluten and dairy free for more than 10 years.  Well, I cheat a little on the gluten, maybe a 1" cube every week or so.  :0)

Sweet and regular potatoes

Japanese potatoes - the best of both worlds, sweetness of a sweet potato, texture of a potato. Forgot to add it to the above list.

[HollyDay]

for snacks:

nuts

fruit

nut butters

veggies

Just realized you wanted dairy free also.  I just posted all GF ideas but not dairy free.  Woops

[yucabird]

I am not GF but cook GF because family members are.

 

Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes (fried, sauteed, refried, baked, in potato salad (olive oil or mayo), etc.)   

 

Nuts

 

Corn tortillas, tacos and taco-style food, flautas (rolled, fried tacos)

 

"Seedy" crackers with some kind of topping 

 

Refried beans

 

Boiled eggs or egg salad

 

Chicken breast or chicken salad

 

Rice pasta and rice 

 

Chocolate 

 

Items fried in GF flour mix (pork chops, chicken, etc.).  I make extra and leave in the fridge.  

 

The GF-ers in this house need to maintain weight, so high-calorie food is imperative.

Oh, and avocados ... yummmmm ....

[Desert Strawberry]

We also eat (mostly) vegan and soy free (in some combination for all of us).

 

I use alternative grains-rice, oats, millet, corn, quinoa- flour, baked goods and whole.

 

We eat a lot of beans and rice type meals. 

 

Soups, especially chowders and porridges. I use almond or flax milk. 

 

Potatoes. Baked, soups, hashes, mashed, casseroles. 

 

Curries. A favorite.

 

Black bean tacos. Yummy and easy. 

 

We do eat pasta. My wheatfree kids isn't bothered by it, but there are gf pastas available, too. The quinoa pasta looks promising.

 

Salads. 

 

Nuts, popcorn popped in coconut oil, fruit, cucumbers with salt and vinegar, potato chips, tortilla chips with salsa or guacamole, dried fruit, trail mix, hummus with sliced cucumbers.

 

My kid eats pb  or other spreads on rice cakes.

Asian sounds yummy BUT your typical soy sauce is not gluten free. I believe kikkoman makes a soy free version but it's not salty enough for me! (Yes, I know, soy sauce is very high in sodium. I don't eat it daily, or even weekly.)
