Bulk Cooking for Gluten Free Ideas

Rice Wraps

It's a beautiful November Day where I am and a day of Remembrance. An important day to remember in history, though it's not the topic of my post, I hope you took a minute to contemplate where we are today because of who they were, and, what they did for today's generations.

I have been doing a lot more reading and looking into diet choices and how it affects us, everyone of us is different, and everyone of us may have different nutritional needs based on our bodies requirements, age and ability to digest certain foods. Recently after visiting a registered dietician, I made a few modifications to my diet. My original post is here. Anti-Inflammatory Discussion. 

Nuts and Berries

I have seen an improvement in my digestive health by temporarily removing Cruciferous vegetables from my diet, cooking the root vegetables I am eating and I have added Kefir to my morning's ritual of Berries and Nuts. Sometimes I'll eat porridge for a change, and I have been adding the Kefir to the oats after they have been cooked. I do use either apple sauce or honey as a sweetener as well, plus cinnamon and nutmeg for a little spice.





I admit, I don't like the flavour of Kefir, but as an addition to my diet, it's seems to be assisting all those little microbes, so I'll eat it regardless of how it tastes. I'm a huge fan of a finished meal that has flavours and depth, but sometimes, it's better to choose something that will give your body balance if it needs tuning. Our American way of eating can absolutely be tweaked.

Moroccan Carrot Soup

I was honestly shocked to discover how many people in my neighbourhood were suffering from type of malady. There are several of us with auto-immune diseases ranging from Celiac's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Graves Disease.  I've also met more than a few folks with depression and anxiety. I am still cooking in bulk to share with friends and neighbours, and I have been more selective as to the ingredients I use, depending on their condition. Most importantly I am using more spices which are considered or known to be anti-inflammatory.

Vegetarian Stuffed Pepper

My friends and I do a lot of trading of food within our group. I have several containers of apple sauce which were made for me and traded for hummus, individual quiche or other items they had recently made. Hummus is now a regular part of my diet as well as my husbands. Hummus Flavour Ideas.
I have increased the amount of leafy greens too. As a side dish, lightly sautéed Swiss Chard or lightly steamed Spinach is a treat.

Coconut Curry - Chicken

I have been on a marathon of cooking since September and now, since my freezer is full, I will be posting more on side dishes for things I have made. The best thing about cooking in bulk, is how much time and energy you can save. I have many of the following dishes in my freezer, some are variations of these recipes linked.

I have many dishes on my blog which do contain Milk, Bread, and All Purpose flour. I have many which do not. I will be re working my Recipe index this week to better inform the reader which dishes I created for Gluten Free Diets, Lactose Free Diets, or a general purpose, anti-Inflammatory Diet. I'm motivated to continue my experiments, and now I am better informed too.
