Cheap gluten-free Dinner For Single Parents


AZ Gal

1,140 views

Okay, so 85% of the time I like leftovers and easy-to-make dinners because of the whole working single parent thing. Tonight I out did myself with nachos. There's that Mexican food again. Yeah for Mexican food! So, I figure a bag of tortilla chips on a tray sprinkled with cheese under the broiler for 3 minutes is pretty easy. Then I dress it up with a can of microwaved refried beans and diced up roma tomato. It takes 10 minutes, start to finish if you don't already buy pre-shredded cheese. The kids go bananas over this. I put tinfoil on the bottom of the cookie sheet so clean up is a snap.

I'm making yogurt right now. I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

I'm trying to eat nutritious breakfasts. I know eating fruity and cocoa pebbles isn't the best for me but I can't afford to spend $4 on a tiny box of gluten-free cereal either. So, I'm trying eggs and tortillas. In AZ were blessed with an over-abundance of grapefruits this time of year, so lots of those...yogurt, hot cocoa made with skim milk, juice, and my wonderful regimen of multi-vitamins.

 

I went in for my annual Pap and I got a letter from the Dr. saying my lab results were high for the ANA tests. WTF does that mean? They're referring me to a rheumatologist, not exactly the result I was expecting. Woo-hoo another autoimmune disease here I come.

Hi there, I've been reading a lot of posts tonight and getting hungrier by the minute... I have a question for you...pardon my ignorance but how can celiacs/gluten free eat tortillas and nachos and yogurt?? I'm so hungry every time I read about all these great dishes!! Please tell me why all the talk about Mexican food if it all has flour in it and is on the list of things not to eat?? Or is it made with some other kind of flour?? Could you please explain? Thanks very much! KarenDianne
