This has become my go-to salad for weeks now. As per usual with me, it’s quite simple.
Curry chicken apple salad with mayo (low tyramine, no soy, no gluten)
Samantha Special: Seaweed, tofurkey, and string cheese sandwich
My daughter made this sandwich for herself for breakfast, then made it for her dad for lunch. They both enjoyed it tremendously, and suggested it would be a great guest post for my blog. Hope you enjoy!
Continue readingCucumber, Mango, Chicken, & Mint
This very simple salad doesn’t need much of a recipe: it’s just cooked chicken, cucumber, mango, and mint.
Much like other salads I’ve posted recently, I never found it needed a dressing (which is good, since it’s hard to do many dressings without vinegar, which I can’t have right now). Between the mango and the mint, there’s a lot of flavor in every bite.
It really does need fresh mint and fresh mango to make it work.
This salad keeps for several days.
Roast Apple, Onion, Celery with Goat Cheese and Raisins
One week, I went to the store intending to make some recipe I’d found involving stuffing an acorn squash with apple and onion. However, I couldn’t find any good, large, acorn squash at the store. Since I’d already grabbed the apple and onion, I decided to grab some celery as well and make a sort of… stuffing-ish dish, inspired by a Thanksgiving stuffing recipe I’d been looking at recently.
Despite the lack of bread (and since I’m gluten free right now, that’s no coincidence), it really does seem reminiscent of stuffing.
Other than the raisins, it’s also a delicious dish that’s low in histamine and tyramine, which is important for my diet. Raisins are on the no-no list for both histamine and tyramine, but I find a few are ok for me. You can skip the raisins and it’d still be quite good, since the apples still lend it a lot of sweetness.

I love this salad. It’s easy, quick, delicious, and health. The ingredients also keep for half a week, meaning I can buy the ingredients on Saturday and then make it on Wednesday to eat on Thursday and Friday – which is what I’ve done for the past month or so!
It also fits in my newly-difficult diet since it’s both histamine-free and tyramine-free.

Hello again, world.
After a few digestive episodes over the past few years, I was looking for a way to eat vegetables that sometimes give me trouble. The solution? Pre-mastication, of course, via a food processor: all of the nutrients but none of the roughage.
I was still stuck (in cognitive and not digestive ways) by what to include as an agent for attaining a consistency that was not mashed-potato-like. Cream or milk would usually be the preferred option, but then I searched around on the Inter-webs and discovered…

This is my father-in-law’s recipe. It’s simple, but good! So good that even my almost-7-year-old likes it.
Continue readingQuarantine Salad
These days, I’m not the only one hesitating to make regular grocery runs. Yet I run out of ‘fresh’ food quickly, and I love salads!
So I came up with this salad, made from 4 cans. It’s delicious, and if you can find low or no sodium veggies, it’s also healthy.
Continue readingAmazingly Simple & Delicious Cheesy Potato Bites
I started with these “Potato Cheddar Bites,” but kept simplifying. One time I had no eggs, another time I forgot the breadcrumbs, and often I didn’t have onion around. It came down to just TWO ingredients: shredded potato, and shredded cheese. That’s it. And they’re amazing!

A special guest post from the expert on PB&J’s, The Husband. In recent weeks, I have even infected the devout chocolate-freak in my household to gratuitously dip into whipped Peanut Butter for snacks, while she is working from home.
However, today– five+ years since my last post– I do not write (merely) to brag. I, Matthew Greenfield, have today discovered a most delectable pairing/pearing that will make you pecan-can with joy…
