I go to college full time but I don't live in a dorm. At the

cafeteria I can purchase a plain salad, bananas and apples. There are

also microwaves available for me to use. I pack a day's worth of food

in my lunch box. Things like black beans, cooked chicken breast,

cheese, hard boiled egg, carrot muffins, almond bread. I bring my own

salad dressing in a small bottle too. I pack food and water with me

most places. It becomes a habit after awhile.

I cook so much for , I try not to cook (much) for me. Every day at

work I eat an apple and some peanut butter (with a spoon). But I eat

by myself in front of the computer. If I were to eat in front of

someone, I would slice the apples and use the pb as a dip.

For school gets the use of a microwave. I send a burger (cut up)

and cooked vegetable and applesauce. For field trips there's no

microwave so I send egg salad made with avocado instead of mayo and the

bean crackers I make from the Herb's Bean Pancake recipe in BTVC.

( has a nut-free school.) It's repetitious, but these are things I

know he will eat.

I am not working in an office, but have many whole days where I attend

my daughters' school, or we are downtown for the entire day, and I am a

pro at throwing food together for all of us. (Daughters are not on SCD

100%, but eat mainly from it.) I also just got out of a flare, so am

on beginner's foods again, so here is my day of food, beginner's style:

big jar of yogurt (currently using whipping cream, and whipping it, so

it's like yogurt whipped cream. WE call it " cream dainty " )

cheese

avacado (I throw a knife in the bag)

prosciutto or sliced roast beef (to wrap around the avacado and

cheese; this is my " sandwhich " ) I am having trouble finding the

prosciutto now, so my husband makes the roast beef himself, and I'll

use this, or cooked chicken)

a thermos full of chicken soup

almond butter (I just eat it straight from the jar with a spoon. I get

many comments at cafes, which I just laugh at and ignore. It's

usually way healthier than anything anyone else is eating. It goes

well with tea and coffee.)

cooked green beans, tossed with olive oil and garlic, thrown in a mason

jar (these are good wrapped up in the " sandwhich " )

When I was tolerating raw vegis, I'd throw a salad together quickly,

and put oil and vinegar on it, or in a seperate jar, depending on how

long it would be until I ate it)

When I could eat fruit, I'd add raw fruit, or applesauce. Now I just

throw in a few pieces of fruit for my daughters, and some carrot sticks

for them, and maybe some nuts.

This is basically my diet, and it doesn't take that long to throw

together (warming up the soup and cooking the beans take at least 10

minutes; everything else, I can throw in a bag pretty quickly. If I

were working full time, I would take Sundays to cook up a couple of

baked chickens, maybe even some vegis that I could just take leftover,

homemade crackers or bread, etc. I have a stovetop waffle maker, and

when hot, the waffle is cooked in seconds, so this is another option;

make one for breakfast, another for later; spread with the almond

butter and you have a " pastry " . Right now I am limiting my almond

flour, so I don't bring anything additional to the above list. But

garlic/onion crackers spread with whipped butter are delicious.

Hope this helps,

Debora

Is prosciutto legal (I'm hoping it is).

Moki,

Look for the prosciutto which says " pork and salt " for the ingredients.

That's legal.

Belle,

Prosciutto is already cooked. Warning -- it's really salty. I sometimes

take it and soak it in water for an hour or so, then pat dry before using.

That gets some of the salt out.
