ang - make sure the matzoh is unsalted
Do you have a bread machine? I think Micayla made bread? She could help on that one. Then you could have pb and j and maybe chicken etc. like an actual sand. hmm, banana cinnamon toast?
Also I was allowed to have sorbet but check the labels for the allowed ingredients. I think I found a hagen
das one that was ok
Nothing with carragean so read your labels
I had a dietician work with me. Thought it was covered under my ins. I didnt seek her out. The hospital said I had to use her. That cost like $112 but worth it. I was always calling her up and asking questions.
Bread products. She told me nothing with packages because it usually contains a bromated agent that is used in processing? Then she said if I found unsalted crackers I could have them? I never did find them with all the right ingredients. I didnt understand this.
So that is with the oatmeal. She told me to use the quaker in the can but in the crockpot I used the steel cut oats because they cook better etc.
Just mix it up so it doesnt get boring. Like you dont want to eat a salad every day for lunch etc. I made a veg/chicken soup with the steam fresh veg and no yolk noodles. I made stock from cooking a whole chicken etc.
At the end I was feeling tired and sick so I think 2 days for lunch I just dipped carrot sticks and celery in the pb.
I never cheated on the diet etc. because I wanted to give myself the best chance of having the rai work because they knew I had a rare and aggressive variant of pap and they already told me the one guy who had it had his come back in 3 months post rai etc.
I have seen some people say beans are allowed if you soak them yourself etc. I was told no beans whatsoever. Add ruhbarb and I think kale to that too? No, NO. No potato skins either.
I know Micayla found a no salt ketchup.
If you like nuts you can snack on unsalted almonds, pecans,walnuts etc.
So you could make a salad with chicken, walnuts, raspberries etc.
I agree with Christine to maybe make yourself stuff now if you know you are getting tired etc. and freeze it. Also use the crockpot as your friend too.
You could even make applesauce in it etc.
I made a beef stew type thing and that lasted for a couple of meals.
Like my mock spaghetti would be the no yolk noodles, the 3 ounces of beef, fresh tomatoes and peppers and onion if you wanted. You could add fresh basil.
You could make a stuffed pepper with the beef (3 ounces), the basmati rice and maybe corn?
I did the maple pork chop, sweet potato and peas or green beans. I like different colors.
Maybe write down a little menu plan. That way if you are too sick to cook then maybe someone could cook it for you too.
If you like mexican food you could do grilled lime chicken with cilantro, corn etc. and the rice. Make a homemade salsa and use the matzoh to dip.
Cucumbers and fresh dill - close as possible to pickles etc.
Take your tastes into consideration too. Bland versus spicy etc.
Micayla - you need to share your favorite recipes too. Prayers for you because you know we gotta pray without ceasing!
