Yes, I know it’s Tuesday. I’m a day late posting this. I wish I had some great reason as to why I didn’t post it yesterday, but I don’t. I forgot.
I have been trying to eat gluten because I have a doctor appointment in early July. I was hoping he could do the blood test for celiac (I have never been formally diagnosed), but I just don’t think I will make it. I got a cold a few weeks ago and it took FOREVER to get rid of it. I am also starting to feel the effects of eating it I had before going GF like constant bloating, emotional instability, and achy joints just to name a few. I plan to call the doctor today to see if he can do the test sooner so I can go back to eating GF. If he cannot I will probably just forget being diagnosed formally and listen to my body.
So far this week we have spent $40.70 on our Connie’s organic produce delivery and $27.00 (technically $26.00 and some change) at Trader Joe’s.
Now, onto this week’s meal plan!
Monday: Out
Tuesday: Chicken Stir-fry
Wednesday: Chili (odd summer food, I know, but it was a special request by my hubs.)
Thursday: Chicken Tacos
Friday: Mrs. Leepers GF Lasagna (We bought this at Dierburgs to try. It was on the sale it quick rack for $0.99.)
Saturday: Ravioli
Sunday: Sandwiches
I will be using this recipe for the ravioli, which includes tapioca starch. Can I use corn starch in place of tapioca starch?
I believe the starches are generally interchangeable. I do know that there are differences calorie-wise and maybe in some other ways as well (taste, texture) but I suspect that they all “act” the same way when cooked.
That is what I figure as well. I guess I’ll try it and see!
