Gluten free Trader Joe’s chocolate chip cookie dough: I love warm cookies out of the oven and nothing is easier than tollhouse break and bake cookies which I missed desperately after my diagnosis. These are the best sub I’ve found. So many of the other brands taste healthy. These taste like buttery sugary cookies and are even better when you leave them a little underbaked in the middle. Add sea salt.

Ghiradelli Gluten Free Double Chocolate Brownie Mix: One of my friends introduced me to these and they are unreal. She used 2 mixes to make one batch of brownies and they were absolutely insane!!

Beef & lentil bolognaise with cauliflower mash: High fibre! High protein! Hearty! Warming! Packed with loads of hidden healthy bits to trick toddlers (or yourself) into eating more veggies! Could easily be adapted to be vegetarian or vegan or dairy free or whatever you like.

My recipe below (members only) <3

Dylan · Answer

Folded eggs with veggies: Sauté sliced mushrooms & kale in an oiled pan on medium-high heat

Add a tiny bit of butter for extra (optional) flavour & season to your liking

Whisk 2 eggs through a sieve into a lightly oiled pan on medium-high heat

Shake the pan to loosen the eggs a little, then when they begin to cook (this will happen quickly), begin gently folding with a spatula

Remove the pan from the heat just before the eggs are cooked to your preferred liking (they will continue cooking once removed from the heat)

Top with crispy chilli oil & spring onion

Pesto rigatoni (gluten free!):

Blend basil, kale, toasted pine nuts, garlic, parmesan & a generous pour of extra virgin olive oil in a food processor

Optional pesto add ins: add a little tang with some lemon juice or spice it up with some pickled jalapenos

Cook pasta in heavily salted water until al dente (I used Rummo gluten free rigatoni)

Reserve a little pasta water & mix into the sauce with a tbsp butter (optional) until it's a creamy consistency

Serve with a generous sprinkling of parmesan & some extra toasted pine nuts

Modern Bread and Bagels: Had these in NYC and almost spit it out the first bite- it was so freaking good and bagely I thought it had gluten for sure. I have them shipped to me in CA now. Splurge, but worth every penny since I can’t just go get a baked good anymore (also not a lifestyle choice for me).
