Something with chicken and potatoes....I haven't decided yet! I'm trying to clean out my cupboards and cabinets for a move so we will also have some canned pineapple or canned manderine oranges. I also need to cook some dried pinto beans but we just had red beans and rice last night so I'm trying to space out my beans... :P

Mmmmm...pineapple and mandarin oranges spell out ambrosia (if you like coconut, etc.). When do you move again?

End of this month. I thought of Ambrosia but I'm not sure how to make it dairy and soy free. We often do just mix up canned fruit with fresh or frozen though and make fruit salad. I also have frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries to eat down. hmmm...maybe I'll just skip the chicken tonight and make mixed berry pancakes...Then again I need at least one more day of leftovers to send with hubby to work tommorrow. Some type of Hawaiian chicken with the pineapple is a possibility too. Sometimes I have so many ideas rolling around in my head and everything sounds good to me I can't decide! :D

Please refresh my memory - are you are moving from a townhouse to a house? Will you have room for a grill outside?

Oh, yes. I had forgotten about dairy/soy free in ambrosia. I know what you mean about so many ideas rolling around in your mind! Hawaiian chicken sounds delicious, too. When I cook I also plan ahead for leftovers to send with my husband to work. Sometimes his lunches are better than mine! :D

We are in a tiny apartment in the city moving to a townhouse (still in the city but a step up and a better location). We will be allowed to have a grill there and we even bought one already (shh! don't tell my landlord--we didn't buy a propane tank and are keeping it in the box until the move ) since they were on sale for the fourth of July here. I'm very excited about grilling things all throughout August and September (and probably even in October and November since we don't have a heavy winter here in the South) once we move. Anyway, I'm trying to clear out my pantry and my chest freezer especially to make the move easier. My pantry is a stand alone cabinet that I have also been using for a microwave stand since I have a tiny galley kitchen in this little apartment. I want to get rid of the cabinet before the move since my new place has a pantry closet and nowhere to put the cabinet. So I'm trying to eat it down as much as possible. Sometime around next week I will list it on craigslist as free to whoever can come get it. It's in good condition but it is particle board and has some scratches. I just want to get as as much out of it as possible. I have a bunch of canned goods that I keep for the hurricane season emergency stash. I find I hardly ever eat canned stuff however. I prefer fresh or frozen if it has to be preserved. So we'll be eating a lot of canned fruit, canned green beans, canned corn, tuna, toamtoes, chickpeas, and beans just to eat them up. I have a bunch of corn tortillas in my freezer too so we will probably have several interesting nacho/taco meals with the beans. I like to make corn chips in the oven from the corn tortillas and bean dips/hummus to dip it in. A lot of our meals will be snacks it looks like.

Well I decided to do Strawberry Buckwheat pancakes with blueberry maple syrup, turkey bacon and eggs. Looked in the fridge and saw that we had a half package of un-cooked turkey bacon from the weekend and I don't want it to go bad. We also have about 4 dozen eggs so I might as well use those up. The perfect excuse to make Strawberry pancakes. :) <---We really need a drooling or yummy emoticon.

I just got home and smelled fish. Turns out my partner had just eaten sardines. I thought I'd try some and had the whole can, oh, and some fresh strawberries. I don't feel at all like I missed dinner :P

(I did have a stir-fry with duck and broccoli earlier, though)

I decided to try this sweet and sour chicken recipe to use up some of my canned pineapple: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-and-sour-chicken-i/detail.aspx

I'm using sweet rice flour for the flour and leaving out the orange food coloring (LOL).

I just tried this recipe and it was really good! The sauce tasted just like the sweet and sour sauce from our local chinese restaurant. Thank you for posting this.

This turned out great! It makes A LOT of sweet and sour chicken, however. We've been eating the leftovers for two days. I served mine with steamed broccoli instead of bell peppers. Really any stir fried or steamed veggies and rice would be good with it.

I'm glad you liked it too! I LOVE Asian food and I'm always trying new recipes. If you like orange chicken you have to try this recipe: http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2009/09/slow-cooker-orange-chicken-recipe.html

It's my favorite! So good! The only thing I do differently from her recipe is I add lots of red pepper flakes at the end of cooking. I like my orange chicken a little spicey.

Leftover spicy rubbed pork baby back ribs with homemade apple butter sauce. With our leftover black garlic wild mushroom risotto I am making arancini. Grilled butternut squash with vanilla bean vinaigrette and goat cheese.

Tonight we are going simple and are having a garlic rubbed roast beef, crashed potatoes and some sort of green veggie(probably broccoli).

Asked my husband what kind of game hunter he was. Does that mean you're hungry, he replied. Affirmative, I answered.

What I'm cooking depends upon what he brings back :)

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA. 
    • CJF
      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.

      I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and started the gluten free diet 4 years ago.  This past spring,  I experienced sudden onset diarrhea, which was persistent for several weeks, before I had a colonoscopy.  I was told my colon looked normal, but the biopsy showed microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  I was asked at that time if I was still experiencing the diarrhea, and when I said yes, I was prescribed an 8 week course of Budesonide, which included the weaning off phase.  Budesonide is a steroid, but it is allegedly specific for the bowel, and has very few systemic side effects.  I must say, I experienced no side effects, except a couple little spots of persistent psoriasis went away.  I have one week of treatment left, and other than one loose stool very early in treatment, I have had no further bowel issues.  I was told that 80 percent of people go into an extensive, or even permanent, remission after taking Budesonide.  During the colonoscopy, two polyps were removed, and one was precancerous.  I know that colon cancer risks are higher in people with Celiac disease, so it was recommended that I have another coloscopy in five years.      Like your husband, I probably had untreated Celiac disease for years.  It makes one wonder if the chronic irritation and inflammation could lead to the development of microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  This disease is usually diagnosed in people over 50 years old, and occurs approximately in one out of every 1,000 people.        Incidentally, If your husband is prescribed Budesonide, it can be purchased significantly cheaper by using GoodRX.

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!
