Looking for a gluten free/sugar free meal that a person can make for me today that will last for several meals.

vision and processing are not doing well enough to look in my GF crock pot cookbook this morning.

also need something that has simple ingredients for me to get at the grocery store as most likely will not be able to last long at grocery store today

If I don't come up with something today, I will just use it for next time.

and throw in some brown rice!!!

If you can't manage a whole chicken, buy some chicken thighs and drumsticks. Easier to "de-bone." .. or breasts.. but I'm not a big fan of white meat.

You might call the customer service person of the store and ask them to gather up a few things for you.

You might want a basic soup prepared and then, as you warm for each meal, add the kind of spices or garden herbs that you desire for that meal.

Another way to do this is to have made your own Sofrito combinations that can be frozen, too.

You could add a handful of the tiny French green lentils to chicken soup, too, for added nutrients.

Steam Leafy greens just before soup has heated enough to serve.

Carrots can actually cook whole and cut before serving (saves my wrists)

Wild Rice

Quinoa Flakes are good to have on hand.

======================

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofrito

SOFRITO is a Spanish word referring to a culinary combination of aromatic ingredients which have been cut in very small pieces, and slowly (at least a quarter of an hour, but more usually half an hour) sauteed or braised in cooking oil.

Within the context of Spanish cuisine, sofrito consists of garlic, onion, and tomatoes cooked in olive oil, and is used as the base for many dishes. . . .

========================

Of course, you can adapt this any way you like -- even make one for curry.

A quick meal anytime of the day:

Frozen Peas - just a quick rinse under water is enough

Brewer's Yeast

Garlic powder

Curry powder / turmeric

Sea Salt

Olive Oil

Enjoy with chicken, tofu, hard boiled eggs - or by itself.

CHRONIC INTESTINAL YEAST INFECTION
by Lawrence Wilson, MD

Yeasts, molds and fungi are one-celled organisms that are ever-present in the environment.

* Beneficial ones include brewers and nutritional yeast, and lactobacillus acidophilus.

Many others are beneficial as well, and are used in industry and in our bodies to produce various vitamins, for example, and other beneficial substances. . . .

=============================

http://www.smdp.com/Articles-c-2009-04-24-52910.113116_Singing_the_praisesof_nutritional_yeast.html

Singing the praises of nutritional yeast

By Elizabeth Brown

Excerpt:

. . . Nutritional yeast, unlike yeast used in baking or making beer, is a deactivated yeast, made by growing it in a medium of sugarcane and beet molasses, then harvesting, washing, drying and packaging the yeast.

It is candida albicans free, which means it can be enjoyed even by yeast sensitive individuals. . . .

. . . Since your body can only absorb so much of any one nutrient at a time and since you need B-vitamins dispersed throughout the day to help your body convert food to energy, I recommend adding just a teaspoon of nutritional yeast to foods at each meal. . . .

How about Lymies Beef Stew. I make mine without the flour.

Beef cubes, baby carrots, celery, lentils, a few green peas and throw a few cloves in.

This is easy and it is more like a beef vegetable soup.
