If I'm at home, I might be tempted to be lazy, if there's no left overs to reheat, then some of the following might be an option:
Jacket potato and...
- Prawn mayo (if lazy get a pot from Waitrose)
- Tinned tuna and mayo
- Spaghetti Bolognese (leftovers or a 'Look what we've found!' sachet from Waitrose)
- Dairy Free Cheese - although that said, actual dairy cheese is far more nutritious than dairy free cheese, so I wouldn't normally choose this option, unless I was balancing it out with some other form of protein.
Sandwich/Baguette with...
- Cold chicken and Marmite (make mine Meridien gluten free alternative)
- Ham and salad with mayo and ketchup
- Prawn in rose marie sauce
- Scrambled egg
- Avocado and bacon with lettuce
- Left-over bolognese
- Dairy free cheese and pickled beetroot (but if gluten free you may need to be careful with the vinegar)
Toast and...
I have to be careful with bread, even bread that appears to tick all my boxes doesn't agree with me, for some reason, but occasionally I still have:
- Ham and toasted dairy free cheese
- Scrambled/fried/poached/boiled egg

Salad...
My favourite 'at home' salad (if I can be faffed), is Chicken and Aocado with cherry tomatoes and a mix of salad leaves. Add in some boiled new potatoes to warm it up.
Frittata
A great way to use up left over boiled potatoes! Mix up a couple of eggs, heat up some oil in a small frying pan, throw in the eggs, a handful of dairy free cheese and maybe some left over veg. Cook through and on both sides.
Pizza
You can make these from scratch, using a decent dairy free cheese alternative, or even these days buy them from the chiller in Sainsburys, Waitrose or Tesco. Dress them up or down by adding all your favourite toppings!
Ready meal...
If I'm really lazy, I'll heat up a Kirsties's ready meal, or an Amy's kitchen macaroni cheese, or perhaps one of Tesco's chilled Free From ready meals - I love the paella, and the lasagna.
Out and About??
If in busy cities or in London there's s many options, but in smaller towns/cities I might choose from the following:
- Marks and Spencer - sandwiches - depends on the season, but I've enjoyed their BLT, prawn mayonnaise. I have also enjoyed some of their 'Made without Wheat' products, such as pork pies and scotch eggs, but some of these options seem to have disappeared.
- Waitrose - sandwiches - depends on the season again but I think it's currently and egg and cress
- Costa - Chicken, Chorizo and Rice - can be heated.
- McDonalds - Chicken and bacon salad with the option of fries on the side
- Pret - Pret make a range of gluten and dairy free soups. My fave is Chicken, Rice and Broccoli, but sometimes I'll go for one of their salads (always check ingredients).
- Leon (mainly London, but branching out more) do a range of dairy and gluten free options. It's fast food, but not as you know it!
- Yo Sushi! - not much of the menu is suitable, but there's enough to keep me going. I love the Salmon Selection, the Ebi Nigiri, the Salmon Maki, the Kimchi Squid (it's hot) or the Salmon Avocado Temaki (has to be ordered).
- Five Guys - Naked burger (wrapped in lettuce) with fries
- Ask Italian - can do pizza with dairy free cheese and gluten free pasta options.
 |
| Linguine (minus the linguine but plus the gluten free pasta) Con Frutti di Mare - Ask Italian |
- Zizzi - Similar options to Ask Italian (they're owned by the same company.
- Pizza Express - Can now do gluten free bases and dairy free, soya free cheese, so befriend your server, find a basic pizza you like on the menu and they can amend it for you!
- Cote - Tuna Nicoise Salad - fries are safe too!
- Pub - the Wadsworth chain, is worth looking at, or St Austell breweries (in Cornwall). You can usually be sure of a safe Ham, Egg and Chips (separate gluten free fryer).
It's also worth checking out independent cafes, as they often include gluten free options, these days too!
HOWEVER, if you eat out, you might not always get a great range of puds - mainly just fruit sorbets, just saying!! That said, Zizzi also do some kind of chocolate praline torte - no good for me because of some other ingredient - looks tasty, though! They serve it with coconut ice cream!
