Diary of a Gluten Free Family: Fish with bell peppers

Fish with bell peppers

Tonight's dinner was simple. And really well received.

Ingredients:
White Fish (1 filet for each person, tonight I used Tilapia)
Bell peppers (yellow, red, green) sliced into strips.
1 Onion, sliced.
Pepper
Salt
Chili oil (1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in 1/4 cup olive oil)
Lime

For the potatoes:
2 large potatoes sliced (I use my mandolin so that they are all the same)
seasoning salt
pepper
olive oil

Take sheets of tin foil. Later onion, peppers, and then fish. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the fish. Spoon olive oil on the fish, about 2 small spoons. (if you want it hot, you can let your spoonful have the flakes in it. For me and the kids, NO flakes.) Squeeze 1/4 lime on each fish. Tent the foil to seal (roll the middle together, then pinch the sides in). Bake 450 for about 25 minutes or till fish flakes easily.

Slightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil. Spread your potatoes across (be sure not to have them too overlapped). Sprinkle with pepper, and seasoning salt. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake in oven till soft, not crispy though!

Great meal for us. So easy for me :) and that's awesome on a day where we have Jiu Jitsu! My SON even ate the potatoes!!! WHOA! My baby wouldn't' touch it, but I'm used to that. If it's not on her approved list-- forget about it. My oldest devoured it!
Hubby loved it too.

As a mother of 3 and with a busy schedule, it's hard to come up with meals, even harder with dietary restrictions!! Our son was the reason we are gluten free, he's got an intolerance to gluten that we discovered after he was diagnosed Autistic (He's no longer on the Autism spectrum, after love and hard work). We changed his diet after reading up on some research and instantly we saw a change. We don't know how extreme his intolerance is, we've wanted to get him tested for Celiac's, but we aren't willing to put him through eating those things for a test, so we just go by our gut--- or rather, his gut! All our kids are also lactose intolerant, so there's not much dairy either. We try to avoid canned soups, mixes and boxed food. We try to make the best of what we can- within our budget. I love to try to cook foods that feel like comfort food, but are actually healthy! We like to take recipes we love, and change them to be gluten free. I like to try to inspire others who deal with gluten allergies and intolerances to eat better, and feel better eating!

I'm 29 years old and mother of three boys. Four years ago our family underwent a complete dietary overhaul. We stopped eating processed foods, stopped using our microwave and cut out meat and most dairy (although I give in to the occasional ice cream!). We eat 99% organic, as local as possible, and plant based. Almost a year ago I was diagnosed with a wheat sensitivity and so we made a change again by going gluten free. I love to cook, so learning to change my lifestyle and eating habits has been an incredibly fun adventure and my family has adapted to every change along the way. I love big flavors, ethnic dishes, and lots of veggies!
