I seriously need meal help here!

[Guest guest]

I am sliding back to my old ways, because I can't seem to figure out how to prepare actual MEALS my whole family can eat! I am not one to continue to eat chicken soup every night, while fixing baked ziti for my family. There are a lot of FOODS allowed on SCD, but I don't see very much written about how to put those foods together to prepare an entire MEAL.

Maybe I'm missing stuff, or just being dense. But I have already gotten tired of snacks and drinks, and even after slipping up just twice, I can feel the effects on my body, and I don't like it! But I just simply can't seem to get past carrots dipped in almond butter, egg white omelettes, ice tea, shrimp salad, and chicken soup! I am feeding a large family here and I need HELP!

Marilyn,

I feel your pain, and I don't have to cook for anyone else on a regular basis!

Even in in the cookbooks, the authors are often using the same ingredients over

and over again.

That said, today I roasted some peeled, cubed eggplant, tossed it with some

high-fat SCD yogurt and sprinkled on home-toasted pecans. Not bad (but needs

some sort of herbs ...).

My point is you just have to be creative with what you've got. We're not eating

for only pleasure, but for our HEALTH!

When I cook for others, I make them SCD food and then just serve some good bread

or rice--on the side! I don't make them entire meals or desserts that I can't

eat. You will drive yourself crazy.

Stick to it -- it is hard work, no denying, but well worth the effort ... for

you!
