Im allergic to wheat gluten, so no noodles or bread.Any tips on quick dinner recipes?

Answer 1

How about rice instead--I prefer it over noodles anyway. Brown up some chicken breasts--cook some rice. In a 13x9 pan, put the rice on the bottom, then cooked chicken breasts. Top with cream of mushroom soup(thick) bake long enough to heat it all the way through.

I have celiac, and it's much more than just avoiding wheat, noodles and bread. Many processed foods contain "modified food starch" and "caramel coloring", which is often made from wheat. I read labels, and prepare most things from scratch. But that doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself. You can still have just about anything else. Some quick meal ideas would be grilled, baked, poached or pan sauteed fish, meat or chicken. If you want to make a gravy, just use cornstarch or potato starch instead of flour to thicken. A good basmati or jasmine rice beats pasta anyday. And as long as you don't fry them in batter, any veg is also a-okay. It was a pain in the neck in the beginning, and I did really crave bread...but I promise you it gets easier, until it becomes 2nd nature. Check out your local health food store for the gluten free section. There are good crackers and pretzels, and even tortillas made with brown rice for decent wraps or quesadillas. It's harder to find bread that doesn't taste and feel like sandpaper. Ener-G Tapioca bread is the best I've found so far...not outstanding, but makes a decent sandwich when toasted. Hope this helps!

My friend is allergic to wheat gluten too. She eats a lot of salads, chicken and fish. But she also found that she can buy gluten free pasta/pizza/mac&cheese, etc. You should check out stores in your area to see if there are any that sell gluten free products. She also uses semolina or almond flour for different foods like chicken parmesan since she can't use bread crumbs. You should try that out as well. Hope this helps!

I, too, have celiac, and I still rely on the tried and true - throw something on the grill (fish, meat or veg), make a nice green salad with home-made vinagrette, and bake a spud (top with butter and fresh snipped herbs). You'd have that kind of meal in a restaurant and be darned happy. I also buy some of Amy's gluten free frozen entrees, and for my "bread" fix I go to Whole Foods becuase their corporate bakery chef in NC is also celiac and their line of gluten free items (minus the hamburger rolls, which frankly are heavy and dreadful) are quite good. Also try Gillian's French Rolls (frozen) - very delicate and flavorful.

Answer 5

I bet you can find some type of pasta that has no wheat gluten. It would probably be like tofu or soy or something, so make a very nice sauce with it. Pretty much Ragu with herbs like oregano, garlic powder, chives, and parsley. Also adda splash of olive oil and let it bubble for a little while to get rid of some of the water. The oil will help keep the sauce moist and also thicken it slightly.

I make a great zucchini lasagne. Simply thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise and par cook in the microwave or oven until limp but not fully done. Layer these slices as you would lasagne noodles with a mixture of ricotta or cottage cheese, a beaten egg, grated parm. and mozzerella cheeses, pinch of salt, pepper and parsely, in an oiled caserole dish with your favorite homemade or jarred marinara sauce on bottom and top. Add lots of extra mozzerella on top and bake uncovered @ 350 for about 30 mins., until bubbly and slightly brown on top. Salad on side, it's a meal.

Answer 8

Try the internet. My sister is the same way. She got a listing of all foods, brands and recipes she can enjoy.

She makes her own bread from rice flour and so forth. You might check into amish stores as well for gluten free food and flour.

Answer 10

Have you ever tried zucchini ribbon? Just use a veg. peeler to make long, thin strips of fresh zucchini or summer squash. Saute them up in a bit in EVOO or butter S&P. Yum! Add a sauce if you want.
