My children have been pretty sick for the past two days so I didn't get to post last night. I barely have time to post today, but I will just write briefly about what I have been doing. On day 6 I worked on breakfasts and snacks. So day 5 was dedicated to simple lunches and today, day 4, to dinners. I am trying not to change our diet too much the first week because I get so much comfort from my simple lunch : a sandwich, chips or popcorn, fruit, and something sweet. I am going to have to find a gf-cf bread that I like in order to survive this month. My son only eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so having some type of bread is going to be important. There are many people out there who make their own bread. But for my 30 day experiment, I am going to try to avoid that unless I use a prepackaged mix. If the diet does work for my son, then I will invest in buying all those different flours and learning how to make a nice loaf of bread.
As far as dinners go it seems a lot easier. Meat, potatoes/rice, veggie. Just make your own seasonings instead of packages and you should be good to go. I plan on making a roast with potatoes and carrots (all gf-cf with no substitutions), stir-fry (since rice-based dishes are easy and you just need the special soy sauce), and tacos (with a homemade seasoning and corn or rice tortillas). My biggest challenge will be to recreate the perfect Tyson chicken nugget. My plan right now is to "bang up" the chicken a little so is is really soft and roll in GF bread crumbs and bake them. Hopefully if the meat is soft enough the kiddos won't even know the difference.
