Protein ideas with no gluten. corn, soy, dairy, - Page 2

This isn't raw but I make patties/pancakes/flat breads out of veggies, spices and chick-pea flour (also called besan in indian food stores) fried in EVOO but you could easily use coconut oil or whatever else you fry in.

Finely chop about 1-2 cups of whatever veggies you want

1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped (we love cilantro but you can use any spices you want)

2 cups of chick pea flour

add water and stir until you have a medium batter that will spread a little when dropped in the pan.

Heat 2-3 TBS of oil, drop batter and fry until brown.   

If you omit all the veggies, you can use them as crepes/tortillas and fill with whatever you want.  Just thin the batter a little more to make flatter.

I like them with shredded zucchini, peppers, onions and cilantro but I have also done them with grated carrots and ginger and that was yummy too.

You can play around with the pumpkin and peanut butter pancakes until you find a consistency that works well for you. it isn't super strict.  I usually mix mine in a Pyrex measuring pitcher with a spout and pour it onto the hot, oiled griddle.

Yes. I am on the GAPS diet for my 3 month old (and myself) and my 2.5 year old is along for the ride.  We are currently trying to heal allergies and thyroid issues and build our health again.  My younger brothers are healing ADD and ADHD.  A friend is healing IBS and gluten intolerance.  And I've read many stories of families who have reverse Autism.  There are many wonderfully encouraging blogs out there for families on GAPS, but  Health, Home, Happy is my favorite right now.  She has a wealth of information and is a mama of little ones.  Also, explore around the site I linked to above.  There is a wonderful series of article and FAQ from the doctor that discovered the gut-brain link.  She herself is a mother of an Autistic child and now runs a clinic in the UK that serves people from all over the world.  She also has a book out.  It is just so remarkable, I have to share it!

We're gluten, dairy, corn, and soy free here too. I'm subscribing for now...only on for 2 minutes while dinner finishes cooking. I'll be back later and see if I can add any ideas!

All 4 Them: No prob when it comes to the muffins, I have to hide them from my brother in order for me and my mom to see any (unless I put nuts or craisins in them, sometimes I do both just so we can see more than a couple.) I hear ya when it comes to avacados, though over here they usually run about $1.50. That's expensive when you're really trying to run a budget, and I can't even find organic ANYWHERE, not even at Vitamin Cottage.Oh, and apparently they came out with quinoa burgers in the stores now, they're (supposed) to be vegan, GF/DF/CF. I can't seem to find them online and I can't remember the name to save my life... but there's a lot of other good quinoa burger recipes that I'm finding. Btw, I'm a Montrose chick and it's been raining like crazy.

The beans and rice are really simple, and you can subst. quinoa for a protien boost (I like wild and brown rice with mine, volcano rice when I can get it.) My secret ingredient is the chili powder they sell in the Mexican food aisle, the baggie with the white label. You can find it with complementary seasonings already added. I also add hamburger or sausage to mine, and I think they've finally started coming out with GF/CF/SF veggie meat crumbles. You can find just about anything made from nuts anymore, thats what I'm finding in most of the recipies I've seen. I also use black beans and kidney beans.

CoburnWoman: I love the look of that jerky, and I know my mom will too. I wonder how that would taste with apple cider vinegar...

Deborahbgkelly: That's the nice thing about restricted food lifestyles, if it's all they know, what are they going to miss? I didn't even think I could have kids (we can thank Celiac disease for that), and now I have a beautiful 3 month old son. I had hoped he would be like his daddy and not have allergies to anything, but luck of the draw was that he has a cow's milk protien allergy, and otherwise a better immune system than anyone else in the household. I've had to start supplementing him with hypoallergenic formula (which I HATE, he does just fine on solids but his doc is scared to death with all of the food allergies in my house that we could trigger something else), but otherwise this kid is going at the very least gluten free until I know his little digestive system is ready to try a pinch of gluten. I'd say no until he moves out of the house, but sadly schools and daycares just really don't seem to care about food allergies as much as they say. My hubby and I are SERIOUSLY considering homeschool.

muffins made with coconut flour (uses lots of eggs)

pancakes made with coconut flour (again, lots of eggs)

trail mix with nuts/seeds

uncured bacon, hot dog and sausage (no nitrates)

hemp powder is supposed to be high in protein I think...add to pancakes, muffins, or smoothies

use garbanzo flour and chia seeds in your gluten free flour mix for baked goods to up protein content

So many great ideas in this thread!

I'll get the specifics about the salmon jerky from hubby and post them here. He actually just made it for the first time; we normally jerk beef, but just moved to AK so we have salmon coming out our ears right now. I do know that one of the keys is to slice it very thin (at least with beef). I'm about 4 mo pregnant, so I steered clear of the process as much as possible - I love salmon, but can't stomach it with this one, even the smell makes me feel ill :)  So, no, it didn't stink up the house too badly - he dried it in the pantry w/the kitchen window open, and it didn't bother me too much. I should be able to get the details for you by the weekend.

StevensMommy- I am not worried while they are at home with me about what they might think they are missing. When I sent them to daycare/school (not quite sure when that would be), I am more concerned about it. I also don't want to home-school my kids. I think schools need to be more educated on allergy issues and the only way for that to happen is if more people make it matter.

I have recipes on my blog (in my signature). We've been dairy, gluten, corn, soy free for over 3 years. Two of my kids and I just got corn back in the last month, and we're still rotating it (once every 4 days) so that we don't overdo it. It's hard at the beginning, but it gets easier!
