Can I just say I LOVE the Endo-Resolved Recipe book!!! I just got the e-book a couple of weeks ago and have started implementing the changes right away. I have made several things from the book and my dh and I love them. I had gotten really depressed learning how much stuff I had to cut out my diet. This recipe book got me excited again and I look forward to grocery shopping. I also found this yum yummy recipe for cookies on another website that would fit an endo diet. I have already made them twice and am planning on making them again. It is hard to find dried pineapple without sugar but I have found something called "Just Pineapple" at my grocery store. Here is the website: www.justtomatoes.com/JPA-P.htmland I also found pineapple that was sweetened by condensed fruit juice which is permissible. Also, one time I threw a few dried figs in there and it was great. Here it is: 1 cup raw almonds 1 cup pitted dates Spoonful raisins (optional) ¼ cup dried pineapple ½ cup shredded coconut 2 tbs coconut oil Grind the almonds with a pinch of salt into a food processor for a couple minutes into a gritty meal. Put almonds aside. Grind dates in processor until mixed into a chunky paste, put aside. Grind dried pineapple down to small chunks In a large bowl combine the almonds, dates, pineapple, half of the shredded coconut, and the coconut oil. Mix with your hands until well combined. Form into small balls. Roll the balls in the remaining shredded coconut. Eat immediately or chill for later.

Is there a thread on here somewhere for endo-friendly recipes? If so I can't find one, and it seems many of us are having some difficulty on coming up with meal ideas, so thought it would be a good idea?

it's encouraging to hear that you can eat well, even on a restricted diet. where did you get the book?

What kind of recipes come in the book? I would really hate to put the whole family on an endo-diet, and it would be nice to have variety. I eat fish a lot, and some chicken (not my favorite thing in the world). I haven't eaten red-meat in ten years. Gave up a lot of dairy at one point (eggs, cheese, milk), but I love baking. Are there any endo-approved cookie recipes. My biggest dilemma with the diet, is everything I love is a major no-no... Is that really sad? So anyway, (sorry to digress) what kinds of recipes are there, like how many and for what kinds of food? I'd like to get the e-book on my husbands next paycheck, but I hesitate because I never know what he's gonna like and I don't want to waste money on a bunch of recipes we can't afford to make.

Hey Mommajo, These are the chapters in the recipe book: general info on what to eat and what not + why Substitute ingredients (I had no idea that something liek rice milk exists but it actually makes pretty good pancakes) Hot drinks Cold drinks Soups (made a couple, very nice. bf also likes them) Salads Vegetable selection (also approved by the bf even though he's allergic to anything that's 'alternative') Main dishes Indian dishes Thai dishes Pasta dishes Sweets and Puddings Baking, bread and Pie crusts geneal info Breads Breakfast cakes Pie crusts Suaces, dressings, spreads for sandwiches Dips and spreads for toast and sandwiches Tips and techniques
I'm on the diet now for about 4 weeks and the recipe book gave me something to hold on to, plus ideas to make it nice for myself. I treat myself with special stuff, try out a new sandwich spread or cake. I'm glad I bought it! I love to cook, so that helps too. My bf didn't change anything in his eating and we cook 'double' as needed. Things like veggies and stuff he's fine with but he's not really into the funky cereal try-outs. So we have 1 vegatable sauce pan, 1 normal spaghetti for him, 1 corn-spaghetti for me and some meat for him. If you're going to do this for 100% you need to take some suplement vitamins and minerals! Like is also pointed out on the website. Good luck, let me know how it's going!

Oh, I've fallen of the wagon but reading Susanne's post is such an encouragement to hop back on. I really liked so many of the recipes in the book and I felt me and my husband were getting healthy on it. I ended up getting pregnant while on the diet so I took to my bed and ate a lot of take-home that my dh bought (a lot of Panera Bread so not too terrible). Now that I am feeling better, I definitely want to go back to a lot of it.

I also love this book! It has been so helpful. My only problem is that I am still very unfamiliar with some of the ingrediants. I'm not sure if it is because I live in the united states and I know the author is in europe somewhere. I think that everyone should give it a try, it's worth it.

There's a bakery near my house that bakes gluten-free goods. I haven't tried them yet, but they posted a few recipes on their website! It appears that some of the recipes have some dairy in them, but perhaps a few substitutions may make them worthwhile? Cookies, stuffing, french toast: www.sillyyakbakery.com/gf-recipes.html
