Unfried Rice

This is made a bit differently than fried rice dishes but this idea is similar to how I usually make rice dishes for my family. It can be changed by adding different vegetables. If you like, you can add meat to the recipe.

Best Chicken Noodle Casserole Comfort Food

This recipe needs to be adapted to be made gluten-free and dairy-free if you do not use dairy products. Use gluten-free noodles and bread crumbs. You can use potato chips in place of the bread crumbs. To make it dairy-free, use substitutes for the sour cream, cheese, and butter. Use a soup substitute or make a gravy so this recipe is dairy-free.

Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Creamy Dairy-free One Pot Pasta

Creamy Dairy-Free One Pot Pasta is vegan but meat can be added to it. Also, to make this gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta. It says to cook the broth and non-dairy milk with the uncooked pasta. I haven't tried cooking gluten free pasta like this so I'm not sure what will happen. You can add other types of vegetables to the recipe, like corn or zucchini or anything else you might have in your kitchen or outside in your garden.

Barley Is Not Gluten-free

WARNING: If you don't know about this already, barley is NOT GLUTEN FREE. Most rice crispy cereals have barley as one of their ingredients. You will need to make sure it does not contain barley but there are brands that have rice crispy cereals without barley. I like to go with the natural types of cereals in which most cases are also organic. Barbara's is gluten free.

Substitute Dry Mustard for Prepared Mustard

There is some information on this site. It says to use 1 teaspoon of dry mustard for each tablespoon of prepared mustard. It also says to add 2 teaspoons of liquid to the dry mustard. It does recommend to add vinegar to the liquid amount so it's not bitter.  Another tip is to let the mustard sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. The bottle of mustard powder I have says for 10 minutes but I would say the longer time would be better if it's not going into a recipe that will being setting for a bit. You can also add sugar or honey to the recipe if you like.

Cinnamon Stick vs. Ground Cinnamon

My Idea: Quinoa and Vegetables

Our Special Diet

Our family has been dairy-free since January 2001. (My husband and I are lactose intolerant which can be caused from celiac disease. We have been gluten-free since December 2003. After that, my symptoms of bloating, constipation, diarrhea, canker sores (my husband's went away too), migraine headaches, extra skinny, etc. went away. (It is possible to be overweight and celiac.) When you are gluten-free, you cannot eat grains like wheat, spelt, barley, rye, cross-contaminated oats, cross-contaminated foods, etc.). I feel better being gluten and dairy free.
