A Twist on Tuna/Chicken Salad Lunch Dish.

Today's lunch:

I've made this recipe for years; I love it.  Some people don't.

Would be a good gluten free lunch.

First dice some red onions (handful or 2) and soak them in rice vinegar (or whatever vinegar you like)

The use a can of canned tuna or chicken

add pinto beans or "organic salad beans" 

add a bit of mayo ( that smart heart stuff is recommended for a healthy heart)

Now, add your onions (I don't drain all of the vinegar but most of it).

Serve on a bed of crispy romaine lettuce and voila a low-fat healthy balanced lunch!

Full of flavor and FAST!

Served with stuffed shells and salad!
I'll let you know how it turns out...

yucky gluten, bad gluten.

I thought I posted about my food allergy test but maybe that was the one that got deleted right after I finished typing it.  Yep, my memory recalls I wrote all about Grandpa's birthday and other stuff and computer failure....

So.....I was tested by my chiropractor which is much much more than a chiropractor.  I am the only person he has ever tested that tested allergic to All of the dairy food groups.. Here's my can't eat list...

milk
cheese (goat and hard cheese ok)
butter
yogurt
ice cream
gluten
beef
strawberries
peanuts (but other tree nuts are ok ~ almonds, walnuts, etc..)
eggs (What? that's the saddest)
cod

So it's been about 3 weeks since I've had any of those foods.  My poo is normal..I'm sure you care...it never was before.  And I have more energy-seriously!
~just another testimony of his accuracy.  My Rainbow neighbor Keri has suffered from headaches and migrains forever and now her daily headaches are gone after she eliminated gluten from her diet.


My food allergy is confirmed as far as I'm concerned.  Yesterday I ate a really small piece of pizza at lunch (ie...gluten and cheese)  then last night I ate bread sticks and spaghetti (ie...LOTS of gluten)  and this morning I'm paying the price with a horrid stomach ache and I"m all puffy, like swollen...I can't get my ring off at all; even my eyes look really puffy and I feel blahhhhh.   Crazy!

Our favorites list.

This favorites list is mostly to help me remember what they all love to eat, so when I'm stumped with dinner plans I have a place to turn.

1. slice mozzarella, fresh basil leaf, roma tomato, drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper......yum! Caprese salad ? is that what it's called?

2. Never make anything with Cream of Mushroom soup. even rice. or casseroles. 'Ewww what are these things in here, i think bugs got in the food mom.'
