My doctor recently requested that I start an elimination diet where I stop eating all WHEAT, DAIRY and CHOCOLATE, and I already do not eat MEAT. Does any one have any recipes that do not contain any of these items? It has been very hard for me to find any that do not contain all of these.
You are in luck! My oldest son had food allergies when he was a baby to all of those things, so I have a bunch of recipes in different categories. Since you've already got some dessert recipes, here's a main dish:
2 tablespoons olive oil 1 green bell pepper -- coarsely chopped 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup red wine 14 1/2 ounces canned tomatoes -- broken up 15 ounces canned black beans -- drained 15 ounces canned red kidney beans -- drained 15 ounces canned pinto beans -- drained ---Spice Blend--- 4 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon basil leaves 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Heat oil in 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and onion; cook 5 min., stirring often. 2. Combine spice blend and stir into onion mixture. Add wien and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. 3. Stir in beans. Return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 45 min., stirring occasionally. Top with chopped green onion. Makes 6 servings.

Also, a couple of books to check out are The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook by Marjorie Hurt Jones--she goes into what you can substitute for what as well as what ingredients allergens hide under in food labels. Also, The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread has many bread recipes without wheat flour.
Any Vegan recipes just avoid those with wheat. http://www.veganchef.com/ http://www.veganfamily.co.uk/kitchen.html We love these cookies: 3-4 ripe bananas 1 cup raisins 2 cups coconut 1/2 cup chopped nuts 1 cup dates 2 cups rolled oats 1. Mix dry ingredients into mashed banana, adding oats last. 2. Roll into balls and flatten with a fork on a baking tray. 3. Bake mod oven for 20 mins. Remove from tray while hot. Yummy! For main meals, Dahl, layer vegetable casseroles, Chile beans, lentil burgers, chick pea burgers etc. There really are endless choices. Do a web search and encourage yourself!
Actually, I have several. My youngest son cannot have anything with gluten (a protein found in wheat, oats, barley and rye), or casein ( the milk protein). For starters, how about:
Peanut Butter cookies: 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 cup sugar 1 large egg
preheat oven to 350
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Roll into walnut sized balls, place each ball two inches apart on an ungreased sheet. Give each ball a gentle push to flatten slightly. Bake exactly 14 minutes. (They will look undercooked, but don't bake them longer or they will fall apart and taste awful). Cool ten minutes on the sheet, then ten minutes on the cooling rack. Voila, delicious PB cookies that no one can tell from regular ones.
Also, try looking for pastas that have quinoa and corn-- they taste FAR better than rice pastas. Also try Stonyfield Farm's O'Soy yogurts, very good, and no milk. For bread and bread products, go to: http://www.gilliansfoods.com/ Theirs is the best tasting wheat and milk free bread out there. For more ideas and recipes, just type "gluten and casein free" into your favorite search engine. There is pleanty out there. Hope this helps.
