My initial concerns about the challenge:

  1.  Slip-ups: When I’m hungry, I’m HUNGRY, and I will eat whatever snack there is within reach without thinking twice about the ingredients.
  2.  I’m going to crave wheat-based bread or grains: My food cravings definitely are a force to be reckoned with. I didn’t realize this before, but my apartment is well stocked with gluten-free food already. Quinoa, rice, squash, and potatoes will definitely be on heavy rotation this week. The best part? One of my favorite snacks (baked lentil chips from Trader Joe’s) is actually gluten-free! In the spirit of the 7-day gluten-free challenge, I decided to create this coconut quinoa dish. Has anyone else cooked grains with coconut milk before? Any suggestions on other flavors to add to coconut-infused quinoa or rice?
