    I am also Gluten Free and low dairy. I actually really dislike cooking - so I am looking for simple ideas myself.

    Here is my favourite Quinoa Salad - taken from Dianne Washburn & Heather Butt's Complete Gluten-Free Cookbook
    It is a Salad that is best eaten a day after preparation

    Salad:

    1 cup cooked quinoa
    1 cup cooked rice
    1/2 cup black beans
    1/2 cup red kidney beans
    1/2 cup corn kernels
    1/2 cup chopped celery
    1/2 cup red bell pepper
    1/4 cup red/purple onion
    2 tbs snipped fresh cilantro


    Dressing:

    3 tbs Salsa
    1 tbs Olive oil
    2 tsp Cider Vinegar
    2 tsp Chili powder

    Preparation:

    1. Whisk together dressing ingredients and set aside in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
    2. Combine Salad ingredients in large bowl.
    3. Pour dressing over salad and toss well. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    Makes 6 - 8 servings

    Here's a gluten free blog that I've been doing for my husband and that I share whenever I add a different recipe. The recipes aren't all dairy free, but are all gluten free. Hope this helps out a little bit.

    Easy: chicken breast tenders
    Buy gluten-free cornflakes and smash up in a ziploc bag with some powdered garlic/onion and sea salt to taste.
    Bake in oven and you have gluten-free chicken breast strips.



    Stuffed peppers:
    you basically gut different colored peppers, and bake in oven until they get crispy
    then stuff with whatever......I like to throw brown and wild rice with frozen artichoke hearts (from trader joe's) in my rice cooker. You can add onion, zucchini, or whatever then add tomato sauce (or mix with canned/diced tomatoes or something like that), add sea salt, stir and stuff, put back in oven until warmed up.

    Quinoa is GREAT in a rice cooker with chicken broth (make sure it's gluten-free, organic and possibly low sodium), add some diced onions and wala, tastes great.

    Add cut-up cucumbers, carrots on the side and some sort of meat; baked chicken, grilled chicken, turkey patties (no buns), hamburger patties (no buns), ground turkey, baked salmon.


    Others:
    Bake salmon and brush gluten-free BBQ sauce on top (cover with tin foil to make moist). Add brown rice to the side and broccoli, asparagus or green beans.

    Others;
    Turkey patties; use ketchup, apple cider vinegar, worchestershire (gluten-free), soy sauce (gluten-free kind) or tomato sauce as the "wet ingredient", but not too much. Or you can use eggs or egg whites. Add seasonings like sea salt, garlic, dried onion, parsley. Crumble 2 gluten-free pieces of bread and cook in Virgin Organic Coconut Oil in a pan. Sides: Veggies, brown rice, quinioa, brown/wild rice, mashed cauliflower, gluten-free toast for the (buns) or whatever.

    Another:
    spaghetti squash, spaghetti sauce, and ground turkey makes a great meal.

    Any taco meals (with corn tortillas), or taco salad, with salsa, cheese, ground turkey or ground chicken, lettuce, can of kidney beans, etc.

    Crockpot meals: I throw in steak pieces with V8 low sodium juice ( a lot of it), and throw in a ton of frozen vegetables (you can use cut up sweet potatoes even), corn if you like, green beans (frozen/fresh), carrots, artichoke, and I throw in a can of organic kidney beans too. It makes a great minestrone-like (pasta-free) soup.

    I make chicken soup all the time, boil chicken, throw in veggies, chicken broth (or make your own from boiled chicken/garlic/onion, etc.). sea salt......add gluten-free brown rice noodles if you want the noodles or brown rice to the soup at the end.

    Quiche, I just don't use a "crust". I make it in a large lasagna pan, eggs/egg whites, cheese or dairy-free cheese like Daiya, mushrooms, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, etc.
