Everything Free (egg free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, etc.)
 
Seeing as how this has turned into more of a discussion thread, I've made a new thread for actual recipes: http://forums.braintalk2.org/showthr...8744#post18744

Acronyms for this thread:

cnf: corn free
df: dairy free
ef: egg free
gnf: grain free
nf: nut free
rsf: refined sugar free
scd: complex sugar free (specific carbohydrate diet)
sf: soy free
v: vegetarian (allows milk, egg and fish)
w: vegan
v: vegetarian (allows dairy, fish and eggs)
w: vegan

Please let me know if you think an acronym needs to be replaced or added... so that we can all be 'speaking the same language'.

Hey...we need a corn free!
(And I think the SCD description should read "appropriate for the SCD diet, but thats just my opinion)

Coconut sauce for stir frys: everything free, SCD opt.
 
1 can premium coconut milk
1 Tbsp arrowroot
2 tsp lime juice
2 tsp fish sauce

Combine ingredients together and mix with a whisk. Add below as directed.

This sauce could be combined with various meats, seafood, tofu, and veggies as one desires. You can also add fresh ginger and garlic to the stir fry. My usual order is to cook and brown the meat or tofu first. Seafood is the exception and added last. Remove from pan, then heat your oil of choice (recommend coconut oil) and put in the garlic and ginger (optional). Cook slightly, but not too brown, then add your vegetables that take longer to cook first (broccoli, green beans, snap peas, bok choy etc.) and the shorter cooking vegetables second (leafy greans). Add your meat, seafood, or tofu and the coconut sauce. Reduce heat and cook until thickened. If you are using seafood, cook 5 minutes. Keep in mind that your vegetables and meat will be cooking during this time, so if you really like your vegetables crisp, don't cook them a lot ahead of time.

Can be made SCD by eliminating the arrowroot and making your own coconut milk.

Ideas for combos:

Shrimp & asparagus
Mahi mahi, bok choy, & snap peas
Chicken & green beans

I think most people use CF for dairy free. It might be confusing if we change that.

To be honest, I've always wondered if CF was necessarily dairy free, as opposed to "casein free." Sometimes, recipes will call for ghee, and I'm just not brave enough to try it.

At my previous jobs, I've maintained my own lists of acronyms. Lots of times, there will be multiple results for one acronym. If we're going to sticky this thread, or link it to a sticky thread, can you add "Specific Carbohydrate Diet" as part of the "scd" definition? (I have no problem with you leaving your definition, along with it.) If it were my list, I'd probably also have a reference to Elaine Gottschall's book, too.

As far as the refined sugar free (rsf)... I've always gotten a little confused on that one. Is it just table sugar you buy by the bagfull? Is it honey? Or stevia? Or high fructose corn syrup? Molasses? Maple syrup? So, I guess I'm asking for more than just spelling out the acronym; I want some description to go along with it. I keep thinking if *I* have these questions, there are probably one or two others who might stumble on this site and wonder too.

Oh, and I guess I've been living in California too long. At first glance, "sf" is San Francisco, but I'll figure it out.

(I saw the thread title and was tempted to write a recipe for water... combine two hydrogen molecules with one oxygen molecule. Can be boiled, frozen, or enjoyed at room temperature.)

Rainbow Not-Jello cake
 
Rainbow Not-Jello Cake DF/GRF/SCD/rsf/ef/corn free (may contain sulfites)

Start 1 cup Youngberry juice to boil.
Pour 1 cup *cold* water into a bowl.
Sprinkle 1 envelope Knox gelatin into cold water and let sit.

When the juice boils (don't let it boil off too much) pour it over the gelatin/water mixture. Whisk with a fork or whisk, if you've replaced your old gluten-y one; for 2 minutes (or less, just get it well mixed) Pour into serving bowl, or a bunch of custard cups. Let sit for 1.5-2 hours.
Repeat using apricot juice, but pour the finished mixture on top of the set youngberry mixture. You can use as many layers as you like. This is more jello like than the knox blox recipe, though its not super sweet. You can replace some water with juice, or add sugar (honey for SCD) if you prefer it sweeter. You can also use any juice (except lemonade or OJ, and possibly pineapple) Serve with fruit or whipped topping...but I think the whipped topping spoils the rainbow effect. (Not to mention is steeped with dairy and other junk :P)

That's a great point. Ghee is casein free (and we use it without a problem and I know a lot of other people who do, too), but you're right that it's not dairy free. Tough one.

LOL!!! Good one!! It does seem like once you leave out all those things that's all you're left with!

I just went away for the weekend with some friends. It is much easier to eat gluten, dairy, egg, soy, legume, and citrus free at home than when planning meals with others. They were very understanding and pretty careful though. It would be so nice if we could just forget about food allergies for a while. They were amazed at how careful I am and decided it might be easiest to just eat dirt :eek: .

I know there are a lot of casein free recipes out there but I also need to make sure they are Dairy free. I guess we will have to decide on one set of acronyms so corn free and casien free are not confused in the headings.

Would it work to just spell out the words? That way nobody needs to guess at what the author intended. Plus it might be easier to do a search to find things if they are labeled with the written-out words.

Just a thought; I'm not at all sure it's the right answer.
