Gluten Free and Good to Eat
What’s For Dinner?
Easy, Fast Weeknight Recipes from My Gluten-Free Pantry
‘Remove all the gluten from your diet. You can’t eat it anymore.’
Wait, what did you say? No more pasta? No more Chinese take-out? No pizza? What will I eat for dinner? I’ll starve!!
That was my reaction when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Used to grabbing some takeout on the way home from work, I couldn’t imagine what I would eat. For months dinner was a plate of rice and a salad with Newman’s Own dressing.
Not a good long-term nutritional strategy.
I had to start cooking.
Starting slowly, I began experimenting with vegetables, seasonings and cooking techniques. Despite a few notable mistakes, I learned. Now after 20+ years of gluten-free living, I have a set of basics in my cupboard and a bevy of fast, easy, and delicious recipes. No more plain rice dinners!
If you’re struggling to make the transition, or you’re cooking for someone gluten-free, take heart. I’m opening my pantry and recipes to you.
