Yes, at our house we mainly eat plain cooked foods, even though we can

have nut flour and nut butter. But I have some ideas for you.

Can you eat eggs? Try making the pumpkin pie filling. I think it's

on pecanbread.com. Yummy. You can make it with other fruits instead

of pumpkin as well. A warm baked pear half, maybe with some cinnamon

is amazingly delicious. We served them to relatives instead of a

birthday cake before we could have nuts. Everyone was amazed at how

delicious they were. Have you tried all of Jody's suggestions on

varying baked fruit? I love baked peaches and nectarines.

Try making vegetable latkes. They're pancakes with eggs and cooked

veggies in it. They're a bit of work, but so delicious. We use the

recipe from SCD with Taste and Tradition, but leave out the bean flour

since it is illegal. And we usually leave out the parsley root since

they are hard to find. (I guess bean flour may have been considered

legal at one time, but had to be prepared a special way. Now it's

illegal.) You can find other latke recipes by doing a search. I

think some have been posted on this list and the new search feature is

so much better than it was before; it should be easy to find.

Here's a chili recipe you might like. I make it all the time. I

leave out the red pepper flakes--too hot for us. We don't use the

beans and I make my own chili powder since it's a blend. I add extra

garlic since there's none in my chili powder. I skip the sauteing

step. The veggies get plenty soft no matter how I cook it. Recently

I have been making it in the pressure cooker instead of a roaster pan.

Dan's Chili from the SCD Web Library

• 1 pkg of white (navy) beans (900g -- 2 lbs)[NOT FOR BEGINNERS]

• Soak overnight (8-12 hours). Throw away water. Add new water to

cover and

simmer (bring to boil and then reduce) 2-3 hours. Drain and put in

large roaster.

• 2 lbs hamburger

• 4 cloves garlic

Fry hamburger and garlic until cooked. Drain fat and put in roaster.

The following

are good carbohydrates, and you need not use all of them.

• 2 zucchini cut in chunks

• 4 grated carrots

• 5 chopped tomatoes

• 3 chopped onions

• 5 stalks of celery

Sautee ingredients listed above with oil or butter until tender. Put into

the roaster.

• 1-2 cans (large) tomato juice

• 2 tsp chili powder (or any spices)

• 2 tsp red pepper flakes

The spices can be added to your liking. Add to roaster and stir.

Bake in 300 degree (F) oven for 2-3 hours. Stir every 30 minutes. You may

have to add more tomato juice.

Makes a large quantity and freezes well in serving size containers.

I hope these ideas help.
