What's for Dinner?

[Keit]

I had my first go at some beef tongue yesterday for dinner. It was good meat but I've never been so aware of my own tongue while eating a meal. I found it a bit creepy. There were some parts that were harder or more solid than the other parts. I cooked it in the pressure cooker with carrots. I put the leftover in some soup. I don't know if I can bear to eat just sliced by itself anymore.

Yeah, the outer texture can be a bit funky for the tongue. :) Also, I hope that you removed the skin!

Quinoa elbow macaroni, steamed kale and baby beets, and shrimp fried in virgin coconut oil with a little celtic sea salt. I prepare each ingredient separately. I put a little coconut oil in the boiling water to keep the quinoa elbows from sticking while I heat coconut oil in the cast iron skillet. When the oil is hot I turn off the heat and add the shrimp. They should be turned until the heat subsides. I then mix the quinoa elbows and the steamed greens in the skillet with the shrimp. This is a meal in a bowl that is very colorful with the mellow yellow elbows, the bright greens and a few thinly sliced red beets. It takes about fifteen minutes to prepare.

edit: just discovered the fine print says the quinoa elbows contain corn and quinoa...

I most definitely removed the skin...and a bit more underneath too. :D

Grilled chicken breast with a green salad. Desert was choice of yesterday dairy-free cheese cake or freshly made banana choco buckwheat muffin.

Tonight I made a stew with root veggies (carrots, white sweet potato, rutabaga and a type of sweet turnip) and beef. Added in a buckwheat roux to make it nice and thick. Came out decent. Next time I probably won't use the turnip for a stew though - even though it was a mild kind, it still overpowered the stew just a tad.

Just plain keema with nothing else. :) Remember not to use any 'evil' ingredients like yogurt.

Last night I did chicken in a little sauce of brandy, I put apples and onions in the sauce also. Instead of rice I did quinoa, for the first time in my life! We love it. For desert: a yogurt. OK, I know yogurts are not good, but what can I take instead of it?

You may like to consider creamed coconut block diluted with water to your preferred consistency.

Had a beef tenderlion rubbed with garlic & pepper with butternut squash on the side. It was yummy and very filling.

That sounds very delicious. Will have to try a version of this. No chili peppers for me. Hmmmn, I wonder how this would be in a filling for grape leaves?

The yogurt - all dairy - verboten. That's what this thread is for: meals that are gluten and DAIRY free.

As for what you can have instead? Haven't we all been talking about fruit and shortbread and setting examples of what to eat instead of gluten and dairy containing foods???

Try fresh fruit in coconut milk. Quite satisfying, either chilled or heated, as a dessert. (If you want a thicker slurry, add arrowroot when heating the coconut milk. Pour over fresh fruit. Sprinkle with xylitol or d-ribose, or stevia. Chill if you want it cold.)

Last night I was extremely hungry for some reason, so made buckwheat pancakes and then fried an entire pack of organic bacon (8 thick slices) in a heaping of goose fat until they where nice and crispy. Made a rue/gravy out of the fat left in the pan after the heat had cooled down a little by adding buckwheat and smothered the pancakes and bacon in it :D
I was too full for desert!

If you want something more like ice cream (frozen yogurt) then I love to eat frozen berries (especially frozen blueberries!). Pouring some coconut milk on them is good too!
I'm also working on a dairy free ice cream (and other deserts) but am still getting through the disastrous faze of them being inedible

Chickpea "brudeto" with fresh organic spring onion, garlic and parsley.

Bacon salad: with palms, lettuce, avocado and lentils! Yummy!! :) :) :)

Easy, just fried the bacon, chopped the veggies and previously cooked the lentils, seasoned with some pepper salt and olive oil and your good! I also put some apple vinegar, but just some drops.
