I’m a month or so into this gluten free thing and I must say it has made a big difference in how I feel. I don’t have celiac but I could tell when I overdid it with the bread because I’d get this crazy stomach ache right after eating. I’ll maybe have something on the weekend that’s bread-ish but doing without so far has been really easy. Here’s a glimpse of a few things I’ve eaten in the past few weeks.
Tater Tot Fiesta: our creation when friends came to visit last Thursday. Tots covered in Mike’s homemade green and red chili, guac, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Everything tastes better on tots.
Omelette Cups: Mike makes breakfast every morning even though he doesn’t eat it himself. He traded off making a scramble for Harper by pouring eggs, tomatoes, broccoli, and spinach into muffin tins and baking them. The bottoms get all crispy and the centers are fluffy, such a cute way to present something so ordinary.
Brown Rice Pasta & Salad: Mike actually threw this together for my lunch the other day because apparently he thinks I’m a lumberjack. He heated cooked pasta in a pan with olive oil, artichokes, olives, and cheese. Easy and delicious.
Green Curry with Tempeh, Zucchini, and Red Peppers Over Rice: Green curry is amazing and so easy to make. Grab a jar of the paste (most supermarkets have it) and heat a teaspoon or two with a can of coconut milk, then toss in veggies or whatever to simmer in the sauce. Green curry has such a rich, somewhat spicy flavor that tastes great with everything. Use it with anything you’d typically stir-fry. If you like Asian food, you’ll love curry.
Veggie Sushi: This was from our Valentine’s date night (which was really just a quick happy hour and we had Everly with us), but it was fun all the same. We crave these rolls that we once ordered so many of the sushi chef dubbed them Michael rolls after my hubs. Avocado, cucumber, jalapeño, and cream cheese. Even our die-hard sushi loving friends go nuts over how good they are.
