Breakfast ideas

[Guest guest]

I sent this to a friend just starting the diet. These are just our

favorite breakfast ideas & helps. I try to keep things simple. I thought

it might help some of you just starting the diet. As time permits, I hope

to send her/the list lunch, dinner, snack & treat ideas as well.

Breakfast:

Fruit: bananas, grapefruit, pears, etc.

Gerber Pear Juice or Apple juice (this is how I get supplements down)

Milk: Dari-free (can be ordered at MissRobens.com), Pacific Rice Milk (the

gfcfdiet.com list has a list of a number of milk substitutes that could be

found @ a health food store....in fact, I get Pacific at Winco) But you

have to be careful, because not all of the Rice Milk's are okay. I also

use Pacific Rice VANILLA Almond Milk (the regular contains gluten) and

sometimes Soy milk (I try to rotate milks and foods a little because I am

worried about developing food allergies)

Homemade hashbrowns (I am now only using high quality oils: Most of the

ones that I use are Hain's Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil, Safflower Oil and some

Canola)

Toast: Our favorite Bread is Food for Life Rice Bread. I buy my health

food store out everytime I go in and then store it in my freezer. We top

it with Coconut Butter (which I order from MissRobens.com (This is my

all-time favorite place to order...get a catalog) and a little cinnamon sugar

*We have 2 toasters in our house, one for gluten and casein free, the other

for gluten & casein to avoid any cross-contamination (We also have the

kitchen divided, but that's a different story)

Waffles: Van's Wheat Free Waflles (website www.vansintl.com). I find

these at a very reasonable price at Fred Meyers. Be careful...they make

gluten containing waffles as well. We top with a little Log Cabin Syrup.

Hot Rice Cereal: From Nabisco. We top with a little cinnamon sugar (Could

add raisins....I always buy the small packages of raisins because they

supposedly dust the large boxes with flour to keep them from sticking...the

small packages are great for on the go as well)

Crepes: The big hit at our house are the crepes I make out of sorghum

flour. (Let me know if you want the recipe). I order my sorghum at

twinvalleymills.com . We fill them with coconut butter and a little

cinnamon sugar and my boys down them.

Eggs

Bacon: Many bacons are okay (check the gfcfdiet.com list), but I am

avoiding nitrates. I order our favorite bacon from applegatefarms.com (We

also love their antibiotic free turkey for sandwiches and pepperoni....yes

this diet can become very expensive...ugh!) We have also ordered Shelton's

bacon from Fred Meyer...it's okay.

Sausage: My son likes Shelton's sausage which I order from Fred Meyers

Cereal: I do not know of any commercial cereals that are acceptable (Rice

Krispies contain malt which is not gfcf). I order Barbara's Rice

Krispies (great for making rice krispy treats that taste normal...I'll

send you this " recipe " on my treats post) from Fred Meyer and can buy

Health Valley Rice Crunch 'ems there.
