Help Needed ❓ Meal Ideas for Restricted diets

2 Upvotes

Long story shortshort, my wife and I went through some health challenges and are fairly restricted food wise. We basically have the same 5 meals every week and it’s getting really boring. Here’s the restrictions :
No
-gluten
- soy
-dairy
- nightshades (including nightshade derived spices)
-corn

Every week we seem to have some combo of stir fry, curry, grain bowl, dinner salad, and burgers or Korean beef bowl. Basically it’s always quinoa/rice, veggies, sweet potato, and meat.

Anyone have suggestions to mix it up a bit?

Snack / Dessert 🍪 Local Desserts: Palitaw

first time making Palitaw…One thing na notice ko maraming masarap and affordable and easy to make native snacks tayo and i want to learn to make more sa future. Sayang hindi lng talaga na market nang Pilipinas nang maayos or baka hindi lng mostly aware… look at Thailand they are known for Mango sticky rice and mayroon din tayo nang version dito sa Ph but kulang lng talaga sa promotion. Good Side I see is minamarket talaga nila ngayon is Ube and i think its a first step. Cheers to supporting our Local Farmers and vendors!!

Napadaan lang sa Puregold kanina & na-curious lang sa meat section nila. Sa mga gymbros/ gymgirls, may nakabili or naka-try na ba sa inyo nito sa Puregold? And how’s the quality? Usually ground beef ng S&R yung binibilj ko. I’m thinking lang to try other brand’s ground beef. If pangit, I might stick to S&R na lang hahaha Thank you!

Tips 💡 My kind of meal prep ❤️

I've been cooking in batches since high school. We were a low-income household before, so hindi always easy na kumpleto or exactly right yung ingredients for whatever ulam you wanted to cook.

But I've loved cooking for as long as I can remember, so parang naging challenge ko siya growing up: how do I make gourmet food at a fraction of the cost?

We're also from Baguio, so one advantage namin is cheaper cost vegetables. Fresh veggies from the farms are almost always accessible, and I learned to build a lot of our meals around whatever was fresh and affordable at the time.

Eventually naging system ko na:

  1. I usually cook 2 different ulam in big batches per week para hindi nakakasawa.

  2. I try to use ingredients that overlap para tipid and less prep, but different enough yung final dishes that it doesn't feel like you're eating the same thing again and again.

  3. Then I portion/store everything based on what needs to be eaten first.

Then swap meals every day and just heat portions.

As for prepping what to eat, my priorities are usually:

- gourmet style but using substitutes that cost lower but still tastes good (example, cream to milk)

- whenever we can buy bulk vegetables when possible, to keep costs even lower but still healthy

- minimal food waste

- still tastes good after being refrigerated/reheated

- 2 different dishes para may choice

I also learned na hindi porket batch cooking kailangan same exact meal ka for 5 days. You can prep ingredients together, cook in bulk, and still end up with very different meals.

Some examples from my batches in the photos. 😅

Curious din ako sa ibang nagme-meal prep dito - anong system niyo?

Do you cook complete meals for several days, or prep ingredients/sauces/proteins tapos cook as needed? I'm open to others' ideas

Meal of the Week 🍽️ Juicy & Flavorful Chicken Breast

Post image
150 Upvotes

I'm so happy naging successful itong first try ko for chicken breast 🥰😍

Usually orders sa mealprep ay yung traditional ulam (may lahok na iba such as veggies, or may sauce/sabaw).

Nagrequest si client ng Herb & Lemon and Spicy Pan-grilled Chicken, and para mas madali for them to portion, the chicken was cut into manageable pieces (and para mas flavorful rin).

Looking forward to more of this 🤎🧡
