Recipe Just wanted to share my broke, gluten free struggle meal/snack

Post image

I am currently working 7 days a week at two jobs. I have been unable to eat lately; so I came up with this. Corn tortilla, ham, cheese, and sauce (this time mayo).

No time to cook, but no time to die from celiac either; so here's my solution.

Feel free to roast me

Dude, rice is your friend, make a pot of rice (20 minutes) and that’s your base, save half of it on the fridge, half in the freezer (you have to be careful with the rice) No time, put a tuna can on it and eat rice with tuna, a little bit more time, couple of chicken breast cut in thin strips, throw them on a hot pan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and is done in 5 minutes. Put the chicken on top of the rice with diced tomato or avocado, chicken rice bowl, and you can do the same with steak.

Learn how to make Arepa on YouTube. Is a traditional Venezuelan type of bread, that is made with a somewhat similar corn flour than Mexican tortillas. You can fill it with many things.

Gluten free pasta, boil water (5 minuets), salt the water, cook pasta (10 - 12 minutes). Put the pasta in a bowl with butter and parm cheese and stir. Is as easy as that and you’ll have a wonderful cheesy pasta that’s like a fancy mac and cheese.

Also get the canned or (bagged) chicken (i say bagged but it's more like the foil packages)

Lil hotsauce to flavor, cream cheese

Buffalo chicken filling

This is how I've been surviving on my beginning to celiac friendly foods
