Hello A.,
fruits and veggies are OK.
rice (cook it yourself -- seasoned rice contains wheat
here is a simple recipe
--Chicken Cashew Nut--
cook white rice
(1 tbsp olive oil + salt + pinch of garlic powder)
cook some chicken breast(in small pices/cubed?)
season with: onions, garlic, red/green peppers, salt
when done, should have very little liquids
small can of peas (drained)
can of sliced peaches (drained)
cashews
mix cooked rice with chicken
mix in about 1/2 the peas
mix in the peaches
put the cashews on the table for people to add to it (just in case of any nut allergies --otherwise you'd add it to the rice)
one dish and you have your grains, veggies, meat and fruit! it's an indonesian recipe my MIL got in a magazine more than 20 years ago. it's always a hit and easy to make.
when seasoning food use the actual ingredients...stick to onions, garlic, salt and cilantro/parsley
for salads: olive oil and salt + a bit lemon juice
if you want to make desert:
(stay away from caramel -may have wheat products)
sprouts has pamela's cakes and brownies (great!)
for frosting... make sure it doesn't have wheat, malt, barley
I make my own (butter or palm oil + powdered sugar)
fresh fruit and have some condensed milk that you can drizzle the fruit with once on your plate.
