plantbasedmeals #whatieatglutenfree #budgetfriendlymeals Welcome to a What I Eat In A Day! I follow a WFPB lifestyle but now I am brand new to GLUTEN …
If you have any GF recommendations leave a comment so anyone who needs a new recommendation can check them out!
If only we had a Trader Joes. For some reason they think our town of over 100K is not big enough for them.
I also have gluten sensitivity and all the breads you usually make I couldn't eat, so I am glad to see what you create gluten free. Sorry for your loss of gluten…Good luck!
Been diagnosed celiac for 5 years and there are now so many good GF products out there I don’t even notice the differences. Ancient harvest is by far the best pasta IMO and Oggi has a great GF vegan pizza.
My husband is gluten sensitive but not celiac. I use sourdough starter for our bread-like foods. As long as I ferment it for 24 hours. I also use oat flour for a lot of recipes too. 😁
Ah MiRanda, I went through the same thing. But now that I’m gluten free, I don’t have daily bloating, skin cleared up, and inflammation went down in my body. But bread and pasta are literally my favorite foods ever! I will need to make your pumpkin bread recipe here. I haven’t found a good gluten free bread yet. But Jovial and Tinkyada brown rice pasta are amazing. I found them prior to knowing I needed to be gluten free and they taste as close as possible to regular pasta! But it does kill me how much more they cost. $3.99 a box compared to $0.99 for regular pasta (Seattle area).
Try cooking your spaghetti squash in the instant pot. It’s faster than what you did here I believe, and as long as you bought one that fits inside the instant pot, you don’t have to cut it before putting it in. I just stab it with a fork a few times before putting it in the instant pot.
ChiliLime on air fries is so good.
I am very gluten intolerant as well and really like the gluten free pasta's as well. I have learned that I must read labels carefully to be sure the ingredients do not contain gluten or whey. It is a learning curve and I hope you will feel better quickly. Thank you so much for your video 🙂
We have gluten sensitivities too, so we do gf as much as possible ❤️
Calrose Rice is wonderful….It’s best to rinse the starch off until the rice runs some what clear. Hope you love it.
I use oat flour for my dessert breads and pancakes or waffles, it’s great and more filling too 🙂
Does the spaghetti squash taste sweet ??
Great Value brand pasta is good. I have been GF for 8 years and the food has come a long way! Bread is hard to mimic. I made the artesian crusty bread GF and it is good but just too expensive to make. I use my own GF blend flour , but I have to buy 5 diffent types of flour to mix it all together. Schar brand bread is pretty good. I get mine from Walmart. Praying your journey gets better. Unfortunately the further away from gluten you get the worse the reactions become if you accidentally ingest it. 🥺
Thank you for doing GF and LF meals and snacks 👍 I get fed up with same things I make 🙂
The way I prepare my spaghetti squash is super easy. I poke a few holes in it with a sharp paring knife and put the whole squash in my electric pressure cooker on HIGH for 13 minutes then quick release. Turn your cooker off and remove the pot. Set it aside till the squash is cool enough to handle. It EASILY slices in half. Done! I cook it while preparing my sauces. Also, I live in Colorado at 6400 ft above sea level. We have to cook some things a bit longer due to less oxygen here. Normally, 7-9 minutes in the pressure cooker on HIGH would suffice. So you may need to experiment with that. I’m also sensitive to gluten. I just discovered that. At first, I thought my life could never be the same without breads and regular pastas 🤣🤣🤣 That’s just not so with all the new products out now and recipes. The biggest type of pasta I avoid is predominately corn-based. It’s tough on my digestive system and too sweet for my liking. The pasta you featured in your video has a small amount of corn which will work perfectly! Becoming GF is trial and error. It won’t take long for you to readjust and it’ll become second nature to you. Or, at least until you walk into a donut/pastry shop!!!! 😂 Stay away from those torture zones 🥰 LOLOLOL! Thanks for sharing this video. I wish you well on your new GF journey ✨🤗✨
I'm late to the party, so sorry if someone has mentioned that the chili lime seasoning is amazing on apples.
Basmati rice is my absolute favorite and in my opinion the absolute easiest rice to cook. Also, polenta is basically grits, just a different ground, you can make it with corn meal which is way less costly. And I love me some grits and polenta.
I've been GF for years and I'm so excited to see your bread recepies! The biggest things that have helped me are using rice crackers (cause they're super convenient and cheap) and I usually buy pizza bases, gf bread and bagels on sale and then freeze them for when I need them. I find that I feel better when I use them sparingly. I also loveeee pancakes cause they're so easy to make with gf flour!
Celiac here! I'm not really a baker lol 😂 I usually eat potatoes or little northern bakehouse bread instead.
For pastas I really like gogo quinoa and chickapea.
Thank you for all your fabulous recipes. I’m a coeliac and yes it’s more expensive. As you said you just cut costs in other areas. I’m from Australia so our products are a little different. However I really like buckwheat flour. I make my own in my vitamix. I’m still trying to get the bread recipe right. I often just buy a locally fresh made one and freeze it. Because it’s so expensive I only eat it sometimes. As someone said already coeliac disease is different. I can’t eat oats, wheat, rye or barley. You might only have an intolerance to one of these and not all of them. It might be worth investigating. Good luck in your journey.
Make sure you switch to tamari from soy sauce! And check toiletries as many of them contain gluten as well.
I always put my squash in whole in the oven until it softens a bit then it is easier to cut. Glad to hear that the GF are helping you.
I have been gluten free almost 4 years. I Also had stomach issues. My favorite gluten free pasta is Barilla and my favorite bread is Sam's choice. I've tried so many pastas and breads and these by far are my favorites.
Let me know if you need help with finding good gluten free products!! I've been gf for like 15 years. For pasta, I like the store brand gluten free pasta or the barilla gf pasta (I add cooked red split lentils to my pasta for more fiber/protein).
Chick pea pasta is great!!
I slice it, take the seeds out then put it in the oven on a pan with a little water for 40 mins it’s ready 😁
Also I also recently found out I’m gluten sensitive so I’d love to learn new bread types of recipes too!
I saw someone say to cut the spaghetti squash in the middle instead of length wise, an then the noodles are spiral instead of choppy. I haven't tried it, but it seems logical since that's the way the noodles run inside of the squash. 🙂
Good luck with your gluten-free diet‼️ my mom is GF does very well so I know you will too 😊
Tinkyada brown rice pasta is my favorite. It’s very light. Shar brand products when you need a saltine or veggie burger bun. BeFree Pita for mini pizzas. I often use oats to make baked goods and that is cheaper. The Kroger brand GF tortillas are good for making chips.
I can now eat flourless Ezekiel bread with no problem. I had to heal my gut first. I have found that sprouted non GMO breads don’t bother me so much. My husband was in Italy and had no issues with his belly. They have very clean, non GMO bread and it’s farmed and prepared in a way that is easier on your digestion. I’ve been GF for 11 years and now it’s second nature. It will be for you soon as well.
I look forward to your bread recipes. GF homemade bread has eluded me.
The Calrose rice is more of a Japanese short-grain and sticky. Yummy 😋
I’ve been gluten-free WFPB for years. I shop a lot at the Dollar Tree. They recently added gluten-free spaghetti and penne for a buck. Also smallish bags of quinoa. And of course brown rice and corn tortillas.
Try cutting the spaghetti squash across the middle rather than lengthwise – the strands will be longer and look more like actual spaghetti noodles.
Good luck on your GF journey. It feels rough at first, but it gets easier, I promise – especially now with paleo options for baking.
