  1. I can honestly say it was the best lunch I've had in a very long time, and want to thank you for suggesting it. With respect to the chocolate, I have to show respect and restraint to soy. So I had one Hershey's Dark Chocolate with Almonds Nugget. Before I knew better, though, I could have made my way through that bag in a night or two. I could polish...
  2. We had grilled garlic shrimp and twice baked potatoes for him, (I had my twice baked potato for lunch with Lovetotravel's reccomendation of tuna, and it was great! ) So I had sweet potato tonight. And a fresh sliced peach and a square of dark chocolate.
  3. Yankee pot roast with horseradish, braised onions and carrots. Potato salad for him, cottage cheese for me. He prounounced it a "slammy" (ultimate compliment for him, as in grandslam). It took a bit of label reading to find horseradish without questionable ingredients, finally found Gold's brand, which includes horseradish, passover vinegar and salt...
  4. Carmelized pork steaks (homemade sauce), grilled asparagus, sweet potatoes and tossed salad. Dark chocolate.
  5. I wondered if you were having issues with dairy before but didn't have the heart to suggest it, I know you love it so. I'm surprised the dietician only suggested two weeks though. (I believe I've read that you should avoid it for three months before reintroducing, but I could be wrong.) I haven't tried soy again, don't really have any desire. I like...
  6. Thank you for the suggestions, Love! I never thought of a tuna melt in a potato jacket, used to love them on toast! OMG, new lunch ideas! Happy days! I'm trying not to go overboat on dairy, because I've read old posts about being intolerant/tolerant/intolerant. I definitely love being in the middle. Thanks again.
  7. It was my partner's birthday. He wanted twice baked potatos and Porterhouse steak with salad. (No cake, the taters are better than dessert, he said.) It's a pia to make twice baked potatos. Bake 4 very large Idado potatos at 400 degrees for an hour. Meanwhile, fry and crumble 8 pieces of bacon. (I prefer Applewood smoked.) Chop 6-8 green onions...
  8. Charcoal grilled chicken with homemade marinade & BBQ sauce. Twice baked potatoes & romaine tossed salad.
  9. Wow. that sounds incredible. Guess you went around the world! (At least US, France, Italy and Mexico...did I leave anything out?) Oh Canada, Oh Canada...
  10. I think you sould go with your insticts. If you want to be cautious, just mix a bit of the chicken with the sour cream/garlic and taste it after if sits for a few hours or overnight. If you want to stretch the chicken a bit farther, chop up grapes, celery, apples, toss in some nuts, and have that on a bed of lettuce or in a lettuce wrap. You could...
  11. Grilled mini olive burgers, (no buns) cottage cheese and fresh black cherries. That probably sounds disgusting, but it was really god.
  12. We're having grilled hog snapper thai style with basatmi rice and lemon drop martinis. Maybe a salad, maybe not. (Had salad for lunch, as usual.) So we're off to Thailand tonight.
  13. You're welcome. Those of us in "The Club" have to watch out for each other. Glad you aren't living in captivity anymore!
  14. :ph34r:So the past couple days on the grill we have had steak, Ahi Tuna steaks with mixed veggies steamed in foil packets, and chicken kabobs. Tommorrow I'm doing either bison or turkey burgers if the dishwasher's still broken, and I might even get paper plates and use plastic ware, LOL! So the past couple days on the grill we have had steak, Ahi Tuna...
  15. Just scrolling through some old threads. Yum, that sounds good! I'm up for adoption!
  16. Badia spices are available where I live. They usually have a separate section in the supermarket, sometimes in the Latin section, sometimes in the spice section. I paid about $5.00 for a little plastic snap shut container that has lasted over a year. I think Badia usually has their display arranged alphabetically.
  17. Grilled indian spiced minced lamb kabobs with saffron rice and lettuce tonight. There is no egg or binder in the recipe I used, so they didn't end up being kabobs (slid right off the stick and ended up being burgers or logs). Last night: Vietnamese shrimp with rice noodles, shredded carrots and lettuce with two dressings (both Vietnamese). We...
  18. Tonight for dinner we had grilled sirloin burgers. I sauteed some sliced onions and portabella mushrooms in olive oil with s&p to top the burgers. We had roasted potatoes too. When we sat down to dinner, I asked my non gluten-free sig other if he'd like some bread. He said "yes!". I said "Too bad!" and cracked up laughing and you know how it goes...
  19. Are you willing to give up the recipe for Grapefruit Tarragon Viniaigrrette? Sounds yummy as a dressing or marinade. Pretty please? I'd really be trying to raid your recipes if I didn't have so many other food intolerances/allergies. We're having grilled fish again tonight. I marinated it in pineapple juice, fish sauce and pepper. That's...

  21. What kind of wierd spots? What do they look like? I know it's hot everywhere now, I live in the deep south and a lot of people don't grow herbs in the summer because they don't thrive. But I find if I harvest them regularly and water daily they do well. I don't fertilize or spray them, but do feed them diluted coffee and very ocassionally coffee grounds...
  22. That happens. Sorry. It's best to go with whole foods that you've cooked yourself at first. I became convinced when I had a gluten-free salad that cost $15 for lunch at a chain fern bar when I first went gluten-free. Additives may be bothering your system. Good luck, hope you find your way down this path of discovery.
  23. I use a mini food processor. For this batch, I used about 1 1/2 cups fresh basil, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup pistachios,(can use any nuts, or no nuts), approximately 1/8 cup good olive oil, sea salt. You don't need pepper because the basil is so peppery. Grind it until it is pesto consistency. I also like this made with parsley half and half or all out...
  24. Last night we had goat curry. (Not curried goat, if you know what I mean.) Tonight we had grilled chicken marinated in pesto and roasted potatos. And sweet cheeries dipped in chocolate sauce. That was too good to be true! (Found the recipe on Allrecipes.) It was even good on watermelon. Yea. Had a little chocolate fest down here today...
  25. Sorry about all of my typos. I've discovered that my most ravenous time is mid day, so I upgraded my lunchbox. It's now a 12 pack cooler from WalMart sporting goods section. (I'd been carrying a 6-pack). This evening I pre-loaded it with safe dried cranberries and nuts, a little bottle of olive oil. I cut my lime in half for tomorrow, chopped up some...
