Chelsea — thanks for the comment. I feel like more and more, people are finding that their allergy problems don’t come in a vacuum (i.e. just gluten). You and I are a testaement to that! I try to stay away from high sugar fruits and dried fruits as well, but I’ve been slipping a little as of late, since I can’t resist trying either in at least a few recipes. I’ll try to make sure my next few desert recipes are low glucose with you in mind.

I’m SO happy to have found this site. Our stories have many parallels and I just got told no gluten, no sugar, no dairy. Eggs are still in for the moment I also have some glucose issues so I need to limit bananas and dates (sad). Anyway. I’m an avid cook and recipe maker and your site will help SO much!

I’ve done a sort of fried rice kind of thing with quinoa and fried chickpeas a few times, and I really like it. Just some cumin or even Old Bay on the chickpeas while frying them to crisp the outside and stir together with some cooked quinoa in a skillet. You can add whatever other fried rice goodies you like: scallions, eggs, etc.

Now I’ll have to give this a try, too, just because.
Thanks, Beth.
