Our Food Adventure Continues...

I want to preface this blog with the fact that I do not make gourmet meals for Caleb every single day.  Although I do cook soooo much more than I ever have in life (which is actually quite a bit), these are some of our favorites, but not necessarily a daily thing.  Caleb isn't that spoiled, haha!  He is often eating black bean soup & corn chips or apples & peanut butter for meals.  :)

That being said.....when I asked Caleb how he is "liking" being on such a restricted diet, he said that it isn't that bad at all!  That did my heart good that my labor of love is not in vain.  :)

So some of our favorites....

Cajun Cod with veggies and rice

1 Tbsp gluten free flour (I use the Bob's Red Mill biscuit flour cause there is no potato starch)
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 lb cod filets
oil of choice (and I added dairy free butter to it)

I coated the cod in shake 'n bake fashion and put it on tin foil to bake.  Under the fish I put some coconut oil and melted butter to cook up into the fish...next time I will use a different oil than coconut; I wasn't a fan in this recipe.  Bake @ 400 for about 15 minutes.

Salmon with veggies and rice



What I will point out in this picture is mainly how I just throw different veggies in a meal, depending on what we have on hand.  I love using frozen mixed vegetables cause it is cheap and then add onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.  And then other favorites to add (depending on what we have) are zucchini or broccoli...and our favorite addition to any vegetable combo is avacado.  If Caleb could have nightshades, we would love colorful sweet peppers too.

However, the vegetable I would like to highlight is a little harder to see in picture above, so I have to add a picture of it before I cooked it with the other veggies.  My friend, Jan Bisenius, introduced me to it a week or so ago.  It cooks much like spinach, except it a little heartier.  You have to see how beautiful this vegetable is...I didn't want to cut it!  But, it is very obvious from the rich color that it is full of vitamins and nutrients. Rainbow Swiss Chard is my favorite!!

Okay, now I am motivated to go cook dinner for Caleb tonight.  Hmmmm....what to make tonight???  Hope there is something worth while in our fridge!!! haha!
