Fried chicken strips (sweet rice flour)

Mashed potatoes

Fruit salad

I guess The Kid liked them, he ate all but 3 pieces and told me I should make them more often!

Btw you need 2x the seasoning using rice flour v. Wheat.

[Jestgar]

Grilled T-bone, taters, and a leaf or tow of something green, just for show.

Yes, I did fried chicken tenderloins last night dipped in egg and herbed breadcrumbs, to which I added lots of salt, pepper and some parmesan cheese and dried garlic, and it was just about right (and I am not a "hotted up food" kind of person.) Also made a pasta salad with garlic, feta, kalamata olive, red onion, parmesan and herbs, with some Armenian cucumber spears on the side.

It makes me laugh when I look at this thread. Most 'ordinary" folk would not realize that this was a gluten free thread

So true! I love that we are able to eat just as well, if not even BETTER than the gluten fiends!

Yum! I love steak...if only I could eat it every day.

We are having leftovers. Fortunately, leftovers are just BBQ pulled pork that was cooked in a slowcooker all day. I use the McCormick's pulled pork seasoning pack, then add a bit more brown sugar to put it on the sweet side. Then we're going to have honey-roasted baby carrots and a Caesar salad.

For dessert - purple cows. (Vanilla ice cream with Faygo grape pop)

Breakfast! Simple scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, ham and fruit salad. I had a late meeting and wanted something easy. Humus and red pepper slices for a snack later tonight.

We had much of the same tonight except I added steamed broccoli to the mix. The blueberry ketchup is amazing! It is almost like a savoury jam that would go so well with wild duck or venison, too.

Okay...I've been thinkin' this for a while now... you and your hubby must weigh five thousand pounds by now. ...or do you secretly eat Rice Check for dinner.

Funny! Sometimes I do have Chex for breakfast! We eat whatever we want but in moderation - that is the key. We eat on smaller plates and I cook things in a very healthy way whenever possible. We eat a lot of raw fruit and vegetables and an incredibly varied diet. I could easily cook three meals a day for an entire year (actually, longer) without doubling up on one single dish even once. But we love variety! And I think that is important. We never get stuck with boring meals except maybe the odd breakfast.

We both do need to lose about 20 lb admittedly and are working towards it. We both exercise daily and try to make wise choices throughout the day. That does not always happen as I am a professional recipe tester and make some pretty delectable things frequently in addition to what I cook for us.

I also took Nutrition in university so our meals are usually balanced (at least throughout the day).

We are in for a major treat Friday night - will post later.

[burdee]

Sunshine burgers (barbeque flavor), okinawa yams (purple) and brussel sprouts. The last 2 dishes were topped with Earth Balance dairy/soy free buttery spread. Actually the whole thing was a 'leftovers' frozen dinner from a few weeks ago. I'm running out of those leftovers frozen dinners. So I'll need to cook again soon.

We actually ended up having a discussion about how gluten-free flours had a better flavor than wheat flour and he commented that what we were eating now was so much better than before gluten-free.

[lucia]

Vegetarian Meal:

-carrot soup, with golden honey & thyme

-sauteed broccoli rabe with raisins

-tomato gratin (with gluten-free breadcrumbs, of course)

-brown rice pasta with pesto sauce

[sora]

Simple tonight, Chicken burgers with Quinoa flat bread.

Maybe some been soup later.

[Lisa]

Taco's for the girlpals tonight. Come on over!

[GFreeMO]

Hamburgers in lettuce "buns" and homemade oven fries. Bing cherries for dessert.

[Adalaide]

Got brave enough to make some mac & cheese to go with my grilled chicken. If I didn't make it myself I wouldn't have guessed it was gluten free. Maybe this isn't so bad after all.
