Easy Meal Cookbooks?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any suggestions for easy meal cookbooks that contain mainstream ingredients? I am getting very tired of gluten-free pasta and sauce. I have found a lot of gluten-free crockpot recipes. But I'm still looking for other things.

(I hate to cook - or clean up afterwards).

Something like this would make a great Christmas gift. :)

Cindy--If you haven't already, scroll down to Cookbooks and Info in new topics today. In there is a cookbook for fast and healthy (I think that was it) gluten free meals. Other cookbooks listed there, too.

When on there, click on "products".

Two great cookbooks I use are: No wheat no problem by Dr.Corrie Ann Materie and The Best Gluten Free Family Cookbook by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt. :)

Here are two books that I really enjoy. They are very easy meal cookbooks.

Wheat-free, Gluten-free, Reduced –Calorie Cookbook by Connie Sarros

If you tired of your own gluten free cooking Connie has some fabulous everyday meal ideas that help you get into the swing of preparing gluten free meals that are tasty ,but interesting. She mostly focuses on meals breakfast, lunch and dinner in this book has a few desserts. Your family will never even know they eating gluten free. Mexican Chicken, Thai rice ball salad, Grecian Stewed Baked fish, Grecian Dilled Shrimp, Jamaican chicken, Finnish Seafood soup etc.

The tolerant cook: The Allergy and food intolerance cookbook by Tish Richardson Phd www.intoleranz.com.au

Tish is an Australian author. She has written a fantastic cookbook you won’t have a boring meal. This cookbook makes your tastebuds come alive. Who said you ever had to have boring tasteless food if you had a number of food allergies. This book accommodates gluten, dairy, egg, peanut, soy, garlic, and onion free cooking. If you only need to follow a gluten free diet and have no food allergies this book is still a real bargain. I have used many of her food suggestion like bonito flakes in other gluten free recipes. It is really difficult to choose a few favourites in this book as so many of the dishes are a real treat to your tastes buds. The recipes are easy to follow even a beginner could easily follow the recipes with great success. If she brings out another book I will happily buy it. She is really talented and very practical with her advice. The ingredients are also really easy to get hold of. She has some great suggestions for sauces that can be used in everyday life. She has a lovely selection of recipes for meals and desserts She really puts the joy back into cooking. Try the chicken tangine, toasted sesame –seed coated avocado and almond balls, wonton, mezzelune and ravioli wrappers, sesame and tahini cake, quandong, lemon and roast almond flan, BBQ leg of lamb ‘marinade’, Vietnamese mint pesto, Laksa paste, prawn & pumpkin curry and many more.

PS: I’m in no way financially connected to the selling of the above books. I just enjoy baking and collecting cookbooks. :lol:

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about  phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/
