I made Palmini noodles for the first time last night. Rinsed them well, dry-fried them in a little bacon grease, and served them up alla carbonara.
I'm not sure if I like them. They don't have the same texture as real pasta and their taste is not as neutral; they do have the occasional vegetable "strings" in them (a bit like artichoke). They were sturdy, standing up well to dry-frying and to the sauce. (It's been a long time since I've had pasta carbonara and boy was it good.)
Husband (who is not doing keto and dislikes "diet" food) loved them, and not just because of the sauce. At seven bucks a bag, though, I don't think this is going to become a pantry staple.
Will report later on the pumpkin spice chia pudding experiment.
Fellow celiac here! I have a horrible selection for grocery stores, so I buy a lot of things off of Amazon a case at a time. It is way cheaper than I can find anywhere this way. Stop buying the Udi's muffins. Honestly, they taste like crap and you can make ones that are soooo much better! I like to do a lot of baking mixes so I don't have to guess on what ratios of flours to use. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites:
If you get adventurous and want to try baking your items with a flour substitute, Cup4cup or Better Batter are both great. I've used them both as replacements of regular flour in things I've made and turned out very similar to using regular flour. I also make my own chicken fingers using the GF Bisquick (there is a GF chicken finger recipe on the box). We also eat a lot of rice and quinoa.
Corn pasta was my go to until I discovered lentil pasta.
I LOVE pasta made from lentils. I find it works better in cold recipes, too. I buy this stuff:
Organic Bentilia Red Lentil Penne 5lbs Bulk Case (PENNE) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01JM5YJGE/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_1vCVDbG0T75ME
heart of palm noodles - I like them for Italian pasta dishes. The texture of shirataki noodles are more suited to Asian stir frys and soups in my opinion.
Heart of palm carbonara
1 can of either pastability or palmini noodles
(1 can is 6g net carbs and 90 calories total I’ve used both and they taste the same. Pastability is significantly cheaper)
About 2-3oz panchetta
Garlic(optional)
2 eggs
Your favorite hard Italian cheese (parm reggiano) grated about a hand full of the stuff.
Black pepper
Salt to taste
Italian parsley to garnish
Drain your heart of palms and place into a pot with a bit of salt and bring to a boil for 3-5mins
In a bowl whisk both eggs, pepper, and cheese. Set aside.
In a pan cook your panchetta and chopped garlic(optional) till browned and fat is rendered. Remove excess fat from pan.
While noodles are still hot drain them and mix with the panchetta. Take pan off the heat and pour in egg cheese sauce and mix till super creamy. Garnish with a bit of chopped parsley and add salt to taste. I happen to have some truffle infused sea salt that really made the dish pop.
Total dish is about 7-8g net carbs counting eggs, garlic, and pepper.
I personally love to load up on legumes.
Mix some broccoli, carrots, onion and peppers with some firm tofu and vegetable broth and bake in the oven.
Another favorite is to make a chickpea salad(mashed up) with celery red peppers, pickles and onions and tahini and a smidge of pickle juice, campers mix and garlic pepper. Add some avocado and voila.
Have you tried lentil pasta? Im not sure if thats kosher for you but it has a fuckton of iron, and I top with pasta sauce and peas.
A burrito bowl without rice, that has avocado, black beans, tofu, onions, and some sweet potatoes.
Similarly a sweet potato hash with spinach, sweet potatoes, peppers onions, and black beans with spices.
Here are some actual recipes for reference:
sweet potato hash (vegetable broth instead of olive oil)
Chickpea salad (tahini instead of vegan mayo, and no bread)
lentil pasta lots of different varieties, pretty cheap in bulk.
You’re all still using rubbertaki noodles?! Really, you need to get with the times and use these! You’ll thank me later...
No more spongy rubber noodles!

This is such a delicious, refreshing, and fulfilling summertime treat! If you are ever interested in swapping out the pasta for a close alternate that doesn’t contain wheat, here are two sub options:
POW penne pasta at Target, made with green lentils and quinoa. Surprisingly good! Product link.
Quinoa and sorghum corkscrews from Amazon. Product link.
Personally I find rice pasta to be gummy and gross.

Yep!
most food is gluten free. The thing is that the USA (probably other predominantly English speaking places too?) has been so heavily brainwashed into thinking you need wheat everyday (maybe it was the food pyramid/lobbying?). While my family eats normal bread daily, i've been able to manage to stay healthy due to making slight adjustments to the kitchen. I've got my own peanut butter and nutella to avoid contamination. we are Mexican, so a lot of food is already gluten free. It's mostly a matter of learning what brands to avoid cause some have sneaky gluten. See if you can get your family to be more curious about trying foods from other cultures too. maybe they can get excited about it too and suggest recipes they themselves run into on the internet.
this is the pasta i get. i find it at walmart and food4less: https://www.amazon.com/Tinkyada-Brown-Pasta-Spaghetti-Ounce/dp/B000FK63IS
these tortillas are the closest in taste and texture to brown wheat tortillas (they smell different when they are cold tho, so just heat them up and they are good. i only have seen them on amazon tho): https://www.amazon.com/Tortilla-Factory-Gluten-Ivory-Wraps/dp/B00AZM3WU8/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=gluten+free+tortillas&qid=1568654987&s=grocery&sr=1-6

good luck. stick with it and i promise it gets easier
Buy macro friendly food items. Example, I found protein water at Sam's club: 60cals, 0g F, 1g C, 15g P- and they're tasty! There's also edemame spaghetti, I've been ordering it off Amazon for years, 180cals, 3g F, 20g C, 24g P.
Edit:
here's the link
Explore Cuisine Organic Edamame Pasta https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G2HMBBQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_sq4sDbANYJDNN
I ran game across some ready made dry pasta by chance at a discount store. But here is a similar one: https://www.amazon.com/Only-Bean-Organic-Spaghetti-Noodles/dp/B079B8CG9F/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=black+bean+spaghetti&qid=1573060275&sprefix=blackbean+sp&sr=8-5#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div
Nutrition value seems to be the same. For sauce I typically use a canned one and then add fresh garlic and basil and I topped with some steamed carrots
FYI, better than Banza - Cybele's Free To Eat Superfood Veggie Pasta, Superfood Red, 8 Ounce Box https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0764M42V8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_GNB2CbSQQ0207
Highly recommend it
Here is a link to them on Amazon. They are made from shirataki which smells like formaldehyde unless you rinse them well and cook them. Then they take on the tase of whatever you pair them with. Worth a try but they are a lot more expensive then a zucchini costs.

I'm a big fan of Chickapea pasta - especially for the protein.
Mung Bean pasta... just like Spaghetti. Make some meatballs, shred some parm, use some low carb organic pasta sauce...comes in around 10g net carbs. Tastes like a plate of traditional spaghetti.

It's 20g carbs per 2oz serving:
