mushroomsMenu Planning Monday This week I will being on a trip the kids overnight which means.. My husband has to fend for himself for 1 night.. he follows a gluten, dairy, red meat, night shade vegetable free diet.  As a family we had omitted red meat and some of the night shade because it makes life easier.  I will make my husband separate dishes but some times it is easier not to make more cooking for me.

So as a family this means we are eating healthier.  Our diet has more rice, veggies, sweat potatoes.  What we don’t eat much..white potatoes, red meat, peppers.

I do buy some night shades, red peppers, tomatoes, and finger potatoes because My daughter and I will eat them

Menu Plan

Monday : Fish, spinach, roasted cauliflower

Menu Plan Monday

mushroomsMeal Plan Monday:  My adventure in feeding my family and providing my husband a Gluten, Dairy, Nightshade veggie, and red meat free diet.  My husband Jeff has auto immune The reason because of his severe  psoriasis. He has been doing this very limited and avoiding diet since January, there has been improvement.  It does pose some challenges as a family,  while I try to cook for everyone at once it doesn’t always work.  I am always on the search for creative ways to make the same food different.

Mostly I get tired of the physical dishes/pots (I hate washing them)  and I miss going out for real pizza.  It is probably better Pizza Hut  and I are no longer friends. I would like a break from time to time.  Is it bad I get excited when is working late?  Because I love an unplanned pizza night.   The other real issue is eating at others homes.  I try to bring something for him when we visit other,  people tend to think well what can he eat??  More but less than you think.. removing the Nightshades is the hardest for flavor.. because cause tomatoes, pepers and white potatoes are out.

I really miss the red meat.. which he says is his biggest issues as well.  I could buy it and cook it for the kids and I but, then I feel guilty eating it in front of him. I was doing his diet it would be the cheese,  yea soy based cheese it kinda sucks.

What does he eat a lot of :

  • Mushrooms
  • Onions
  • Green veggies (not in pepper family
  • Cauliflower try my roasted cauliflower recipe simple
  • sweet potatoes
  • turnips, beets,
  • fruit
  • gluten free pasta
  • quinoa
  • polenta
  • rice
  • chicken
  • fish/seafood
  • pork
  • Jello

So what is on the meal this week:

Menu Planning: Gluten, Dairy, Nightshade, veggie, and red meat free diet

Monday: Sweet potato chicken soup

Tuesday: Beginners Baked chicken, broccoli, and rice with kalamata olives

Wednesday: White turkey chilli-  Use cumin, wasabi, and white pepper for heat
