DH is on a grain (including quinoa, buckwheat etc) and sugar free diet, including no potatoes/sweet potatoes, soy, maple syrup. One kid is severely allergic so nuts and seeds are also off the menu. I feel so bored of everything I make.

Here's our menu so far

Sunday Night

Sourdough bread
dill dip
matbucha

Herb Crusted Salmon on a bed of lettuce with garlic mayo on the side

Chicken soup

Tangy capons
no sides....??

Monday

Sourdough bread
dips

Grilled chicken salad- so blah....anything else?

Minute steaks
Mashed butternut squash w/ fried onions
cole slaw

Monday Night

Sourdough bread
Dips

First course ideas needed!!!

Oyster steak marinated in wine
some sides...?

Tuesday

Sourdough bread
Dips

First course of some sort...

Flanken Roast
Garlic green beans

I'm so not motivated to cook cuz everything is so boring!! Please help! Any and all revisions are welcome!

Roasted veggies as a side? I'll mix squash, mushrooms, peppers, onions with pesto and bake

Cauliflower with mid eastern spices

moroccan fish as a first course?

Can you make lots of yummy veggie side dishes, and add a few starchy sides for those that can eat it?

Cauliflower mock potato salad
Zucchini spaghetti salad
Summer squash & tomato sauté
Snow peas & carrots julienne
Roasted asparagus
Bruschetta zucchini
Baby spinach & heirloom tomato sauté
Rainbow veggie kebabs
chicken soup with zucchini "noodles" and chicken "matzah" balls

Pesto- blend 1 bunch basil, 4 cloves crushed garlic, juice of 1/2 lemon, 3 tbsp olive oil till smooth. While running add another 3 tbsp oil slowly. add salt to taste.

Fish I've tried different recipes. There are some on this site I think

Snow peas & carrots julienne
snow peas, stemmed and string removed
carrots, cut with julienne peeler
Sauté in olive oil for about 2 minutes. Season with coarse salt to taste. I could finish a whole pan in a minute.

Cauliflower mock potato salad
Cut frozen cauliflower into mini florets (important for good potato salad taste). Place into a colander over the sink and pour a full pot of water over it to steam the cauliflower. Allow to drain. Make your potato salad recipe and use the steamed cauliflower.

The rest of the recipes are here.
