Kinda a tongue in cheek question, but still! Ok mamas, here's the deal. I have to go dairy free for my newborn (severe reflux) so DH and I decided the entire family can do the same. That's actually not a difficult task, I've done that before for one of my other kiddos for the same reason. With possible allergy issues we'd also rather not lean heavily on soy products, although we aren't eliminating them entirely right now.
DH (the KING of crappy food diet) has ALSO recently decided he'd like to discard processed carbs from his diet as well, in favor of whole foods and occasionally whole grains. I am THRILLED, and have no problem with this. I just got home from a week long inpatient stay with our newborn so my head isn't exactly clear, but I'd like to take him up on his 'genius idea'
before he changes his mind.
So we absolutely cannot have dairy. We'd like to eliminate processed sugars (sucrose/fructose/dextrose/refined sugars etc), as well as MSG from our diet completely. What are some meal ideas that we *can* have, that are convenient and fairly simple to make? Pretty much the basic 'meat, brown rice, and veggies' is fine but at some point that gets old.
The reason I'm asking is that DH is feeling overwhelmed now that we *have* to cut the dairy on top of his 'brand new' idea about food. Yeah, I realize this is actually a really healthy way to eat but HE thinks he just discovered it, so we're letting him go with that shall we?
So let me have some meal ideas!
