The Grocery List

Here is what I like to keep on hand. There are several meals I have fairly often, as I only have time to cook something special once in a while. On the weekdays I pretty much have my standards.

One of the most important things about the SCD is to READ LABELS! I can't emphasize this enough. I recently discovered one of the ingredients in a bag of frozen berries I bought was liquid sugar. I had assumed there were only berries, and was about to eat some when I happened to look at the ingredients.
Tuna - I usually take "tuna salad" for lunch. This is basically dry tuna on top of some lettuce and any other salad vegetables I have around.
Vinegar - red wine vinegar goes on top of the salad. I have never been satisfied with any other salad dressings I have tried to make so I pretty much stick with vinegar.
Spaghetti Squash - actually makes a good substitute for pasta. I just put the whole squash in a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes and cut it in half after it's cooked. It's pretty easy that way.
Salad - I like to buy the salad in a bag that are already cut and washed etc. I usually buy organic mixed greens. Just a reminder that raw vegetables are best tolerated when symptoms are cleared up.
Stir Fry Vegetables - this is probably my most common meal. I usually use coleslaw in a bag with some other vegetables like broccoli and onion etc. Broccoli coleslaw in a bag works well also. This is quick and easy. Just stir fry the vegetables and add some meat.
Fresh Fruit - I can pretty much handle any type of fresh fruit so I like to have it on hand for snacks.
Meat - this needs to be untreated and unprocessed, just plain meat. I don't eat beef or pork so I just get boneless skinless chicken breast or turkey. If you eat bacon...I have noticed that bacon cured without sugar is pratically impossible to find, so again read the label.
Frozen Vegetables - a quick and easy side dish.


Okay so these are some of the basics that get me through a work week. The SCD is not as limited as this list. I just wanted to put up some basics.
