Thanks to the OP for posting this...I am day one gluten free and am really looking for ideas. To know that it takes about a year to be comfortable really helps. I went grocery shopping today and was a little overwhelmed!
Lots of great ideas. I am grateful that I make most my own food already. I am a little sad about blue cheese though:(
Will be following along...

I made gluten free egg rolls last night using rice paper wrappers and Bragg's amino acids (in place of the soy sauce). They were excellent!
I really like sandwich wraps for lunch so I tried La Tortilla Factory Gluten Free Wraps. Not my favorite, but there are others to try.
For dinner tonight I'm making Quinoa Casserole...will make good leftovers for lunch!

My local grocery store (Cub) carried the rice wraps in their "ethnic foods" aisle. They were near the rice noodles...but I still had to ask to find them!
They worked great, but I found you only need to soak them until they're just pliable, otherwise they tear really easy. Once I figured that out it was easy.

Ginger Lemon Girl's recipes are always good!

I love reading blogs and e-mails from people who rejoice in the gluten free life. Most of the groups/blogs that I follow are full of foodies who have a great time exploring new cuisines and inventing and sharing new recipes. Half of them are publishing cookbooks these days.

One blog that I currently follow . . . which I probably won't for much longer . . . is a celebrity, all of whose posts either (1) sell her new line of GF products or (2) are negative or complaining in some way about being gluten free or about her health. Believe me, I am empathetic about health issues, I and my family struggle with our own, and many in the GF community battle with other autoimmune diseases like diabetes, thyroid/hashimotos, RA, etc. or with cancer, lyme disease, children with ASD, and so on and so on. Many of us, like her, went undiagnosed for decades and will never recover from all of the damage. But if you want people to buy your products, to not be afraid to be tested or to try going GF, and to band together as a community . . . stop the griping and share something positive!

So thank you for being positive and sharing with us here!!!

Gluten free, grain free, legume free here. Trying to cut down on sugar but I do like dark chocolate a lot!

Breakfast: Plain Greek yoghurt, berries, topping of chopped pecans and dessicated unsweetened coconut, at the weekend it's eggs and bacon, or a frittata with veggies and chorizo

Lunch: Baked sweet potato, feta or goats cheese or some chicken, roast veg, salsa
Or home made soup , or a big salad with meat or fish

Dinner: I like to experiment a lot, sometimes it's home made stews, sometimes grilled meat or fish with salad or veggies, I try and make my veggies interesting, use herbs, tomato sauces, spices etc. One of my favourite things is tandoori chicken or home made lamb koftas with lots of salad and a yoghurt and cucumber dip, yum.
As a treat, Isabels gluten free pane de queso and pizza bases - they're made of cassava and are grain free and very awesome!

Snacks - fruit, nuts, apple with almond butter, dried fruit, raw veg and salsa, yoghurt and honey, sometimes a quick soup on the go using blended frozen veggies and some veg stock, oh yeah and the dark chocolate :blushing:
