So sorry about your loss, but we are glad you found us!
I will try to help with the food suggestions!
Cereal ~ I don't eat a lot of carbs, so this is not my area. For breakfast may I suggest hard boiling a dozen eggs 1-2 times per week? They would go great with a slice of whole grain/gluten free (Rudi's multigrain) toast, and a piece of fruit.
I've seen recipes for oatmeal in a jar. I think you add water/milk, chopped fruit, oatmeal, etc. in to a jar and refridgate overnight, but please look it up in case my recipe is wrong! It can be eaten cold or warmed in the microwave. I personally like making a big batch of oatmeal with splenda, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, etc. and eating it cold.
Healthy snacks ~ fruits and veggies, chopped/sticks with low cal dip (ranch, yogurt, etc.), small portions of left overs, nuts, trail mix (nuts, raisins, a few chocolate chips, homemade dried fruit).
Drinks ~ I usually drink only water, except when dining out, I get a diet pop. If you are drinking regular pop/juice, you can switch to 1/2 diet/water. Crystal light, water flavored with fresh fruit, decaf teas.
Biscuits ~ If I absolutely MUST have one, I used gluten free bisquick to make them, but generally they are not worth the calories to me.
Meals ~
1) sautee celery, onions, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic. Add 8 cups of water, a generous squirt of yellow mustard, sea salt and pepper. Run through a blender. Add ham and cheese if you like. Totally yummy cheesey soup :-)
2) chili ~ buy 2 alarm chili seasoning (HEB). sautee celery, onions, carrots, green pepper. Add turkey. Add seasoning pack, canned of chopped tomatoes, can of tomato sauce, and as much water to make it the right consistancy. Cook til hot.
3)turkey burgers on the grill/george forman, wrap with lettuce for low carb
4) taco salad ~ cook up ground turkey/tofu/beans. Put out all the fixings and everyone gets exactly what they want.
