food/health talk
I'm thinking about doing a gluten-free month starting this weekend, to see if it improves my life any. Given the example of my oldest sister, gluten might be the main driving force of my depression! Which would suck but better to know, right?
Rec me recipes? Things that don't have gluten substitutes, please—so no GF mac and cheese, for example. (Unless the part needing a gluten substitute is, like, a tablespoon of all-purpose flour. In that case I don't expect the taste/texture to be affected unduly by substituting all-purpose gluten-free flour.) I have umpteen other sources (see also, two gluten-free sisters) but I want to know if there's anything y'all like that I should try. I have no [other] dietary restrictions, though my doctor advises me to eat more salt (moderately, of course) because of the orthostatic hypotension thing, so recipes that are improved by salt would be good.
And a crucial point: whatever it is pretty much has to tolerate being cooked in a six-serving batch and then refrigerated and microwave-reheated, because microwave is the only way to heat a meal at work. I say 'pretty much' because if I can con my mother into thinking it's a good weekend dinner, then it probably isn't going to be a work meal.
