Homemade convenience foods: chinese pork meatballs, mini meatloaves made in muffin tins, breaded zucchini rounds, breaded chicken cutlets, roasted acorn squash soup, potato croquettes, pinapple upside down cupcakes made with Namaste vanilla cake mix, carrtot cupcakes made with Namaste spice cake mix, pancakes, choc. fudgecakes

Various frozen veg and Various frozen potatoes, Ore-Ida, Alexia

We just stocked up on pre-made products:

Deliciously Free is the brand name. It's a new regional family business. They used to have a website that they were working on but I couldn't find it. I buy them at a heathfood store called Rainbow Blossom.

The meatballs have a sweet and sour type sauce and I serve them with steamed rice and simple veg. like broccoli. If I'm having company I might add chinese chicken salad. I send the meatballs and meatloaf for school lunches as well as for quick meals at home.

I'm mostly cooking for one so I make up a bunch of my proteins ahead (and the sides that can be frozen) and then freeze everything in single serving sizes.

In my freezer I have:

Cooked

Brown rice

Anasazi beans

Chicken breasts with a variety of seasonings/flavors (i.e. lemon rosemary or cilantro lime)

Beef roast

Brisket

Hamburger patties (beef and turkey)

Meatballs (beef and turkey)

Turkey tenderloins

Browned ground turkey for Italian dishes (seasoned with italian seasonings)

Browned ground turkey for Mexican dishes (seasoned with cumin, garlic, chili powder)

Then I have uncooked proteins and a few other staples like:

Rice tortillas

Turkey hot dogs

Frozen peas

Meal prep is pretty easy when you have these things already cooked, frozen, and ready to go. I just thaw and heat a protein serving, steam or roast a fresh veggie, bake a starch side like a potato or winter squash, and throw together a salad.

With my ground cooked meat I throw the Italian seasoned version into bottled marinara sauce which makes a yummy meat sauce to serve with Tinkayada fettucini.

The Mexican seasoned version I use for taco salads, burritos, tacos, etc.

Soups are super easy, I add a cooked protein to chicken broth, chop or grate fresh vegetables like carrots, onions, zuchini, etc, throw in some cooked brown rice....in about 20-30 minutes you have made the best homemeade soup!

one thing i do is freeze extra broth (from the can, or homemade). made hamburger soup last night with extra beef broth that i had in the freezer. just pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze. once solid, i usually dump the cubes into a ziploc :) also very helpful for making gravies.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
