Hi everyone- I am in desperate need of vegetable side dish ideas. I feel like I am in a rut with them. I can't do salad or raw veggies yet so my options are limited and I would like to learn to cook some new veggie dishes with vegetables I really haven't worked with before like swiss chard, rhutabaga, etc. If any of you have any simple recipes to share I would really appreciate it. Or a good cook book suggestion that contains lots of veggie ideas. My energy level is not high so the simpler the better right now.

Thanks in advance!

I really enjoy making sweet potato french fries - I use nonstick cooking spray, top with some spicy seasoning, and bake them in my oven, so they're really healthy. There are tons of recipes for them online.

Roasting or grilling veg really brings out their sweetness (i.e. red peppers, tomatoes, carrots, all root veg). I also love to make several purees with carrots, parsnips, peas, roasted butternut squash, etc. Have you tried spaghetti squash with melted butter, sage leaves and Parmesan?

I also marinate mushrooms for a bit of a change. Have you tried kale chips (in the oven)?

Some of my favourite veg side dishes include the following (let me know if you're interested in any and I will post the recipes):

- sweet and sour roast vidalia onions

- fava bean saute with marjoram and feta

- marinated grilled leeks

- stuffed roasted artichokes with chile and mint

- sauteed peas with garlic and sesame

- steamed new potatoes with chive oil

- sauteed baby spinach with lemon zest and cream

- artichoke ragout with garlic, saffron and orange zest

- two-pea saute with basil and pecorino

- steamed green beans with tarragon dipping sauce

- grilled sweet corn with maple-cayenne butter

- zucchini "pasta with fresh toato sauce

- sauteed yellow pear tomatoes with arugula pesto and feta

- poblano chiles stuffed with black beans and summer squash

- marinated summer veg grilled on rosemary skewers

- creamed corn with chipotle chiles

- potato celeriac pancakes

- stir fried broccoli with cashews and soy

- roasted beets with orange and herbed goat cheese

- wasabi-chive mashed potatoes

- sauteed broccoli rabe with garlic, anchovies and red pepper flakes

- roasted acorn squash with chipotle and cilantro

- caramelized cauliflower with honey and smoked paprika

- shell beans with butternut squash, bacon and sage

- mushroom and potato gratin with thyme and parmesan

- spicy roasted potatoes with cool yogurt dipping sauce

- braised kale with white beans and smoked ham

- vinegar-glazd brussels sprouts with chestnuts and walnut oil

- gingered winter squash and pear puree

- braised mustard greens with pancetta and lemon

- grilled radicchio with salsa verde

- braised winter veg with coconut and red curry

- parsnips and sweet potatoes with hazelnuts and brown butter

- wok-seared bok choy with chile oil and garlic

I like purees of cooked vegetables for iffy stomachs. For example: steam up some carrots and cauliflower and then puree with some seasoning. I've a recipe posted if you want the link. (PM me for actual recipes/links).

You can do the same thing with a mix of root vegetables, too.

Winter squash with sweet potato, sage, cheese (optional), and maybe garlic.

Creamed turnips are very nice, a little decadent.

Roasted cauliflower with lemon and mustard.

Sauteed cabbage.

Vegetable soup.

For others who are interested in vegetable dishes...this web site has quite a few that look simple yet tastey:

Here is a website I really like for ideas of what to do with veggies: Open Original Shared Link

It is not a gluten free site, but many of the recipes are gluten-free or could be easily made that way. If you click on her recipe box she has all her recipes organized by vegetable in alphabetical order. So you can search for your favorites or for any new ones you want to try.

My favorite veggie sides are:

*Roasted brussel sprouts...use a lot of oil and let them roast till the edges get slightly crispy. Season with your favorite seasoning.

*Asparagus...with some olive oil, salt, and fresh herbs wrapped in parchment paper packages with the edges twisted shut. Bake at 300 for a loooong time (1-2 hours?) and they are so flavorful.

*Sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) are really good either as chips, sliced thin and fried in oil till slightly crisp and seasoned with salt and rosemary, or steamed and mashed with potatoes and carrots. They are super nutritious.

*Greens (kale, collards, mustard) cooked in a little bacon grease, and add a little water to the skillet to cook the greens thoroughly. Serve with chopped bacon, a little brown sugar and sprinkle of apple cider vinegar (This got my kids so into eating greens...they always yell "More kale please!").

*Any veggies I have, stir-fried. Simple and always good. I use some gluten-free soy sauce or fish sauce and some garlic.

*Steamed or boiled beets, cold with chopped onion and cucumber, a dressing of sour cream or plain yogurt, apple cider vinegar, a little honey, salt, and dill.

*Roasted fennel bulbs. They really don't need anything fancy, imo. They are good just plain.

But when I'm tired, I just stir-fry. Or make the greens minus the bacon.

Here's a good one

chop up one yellow squash and one zuccini

put them in a frying pan and add one can of sweet corn (drained)

cook those with a good amount of olive oil and mrs. dash seasoning

when you think they are done top it with crunched up pieces of bacon and grated cheddar cheese.

keep cooking until the cheese is melted (wont take long)

It is sooooo good!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
