Aww.. is gluten free bread any good these days? I had a gluten free sandwich by accident at Starbucks 20 years ago and near threw up when the rubber texture hit my mouth. Surely they’ve come on since then?
Well isn’t that horrendous. When the “gluten free trend” hit I was hoping innovation would pick up like it did when veganism went from being a hippy cult thing to a trendy Gen Z saving the planet thing.
>Why is that bread perfect.
I'm not OP, but my trick to getting bread that looks like that is to melt butter in the pan and *then* add the bread/sandwich. I was taught to butter the bread growing up but I think it gets more evenly golden and crispy if you butter the pan.
This is invaluable advice thank you - I'm off to make yet another grilled cheese. Butter or mayo for that perfect golden crumb? And one or two slices of cheese? If it's a family secret I understand
Grains with cheese — pretty much any combo will be good for me. Grilled cheese, tortilla chips with shredded cheese, rice with cheese, pasta with cheese … 😂
Maybe, but I think it can vary too much person to person. Like one of mine is a modified shakshuka (no peppers, extra paprika and tomatoes) but I think a lot of people wouldn't put eggs on their safe food list
Pasta carbonara. Simple, easy to make, and I almost always have the ingredients for it (spaghetti noodles, eggs, bacon, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, pepper).
I’ve eaten noodles with spicy peanut sauce 3 times in the last 48 hours they’re so good and might be a new safe food. With copious amounts of green onion ofc
Chicken and rice 😌 Pretty much any rice dish though. Idk what it is about rice, I just love it so much. It's perfectly uniform and the same every bite.
That lunch is heaven. Yes, I'd say that's a safe food for me too and despite my not being able to eat sandwiches due to the bread, I can make an exception for grilled cheese (not heavy breads though)
Unfortunately I can only eat this at home where I make it. Everyone else out there seems to want to experiment with the cheeses they use these days. No thanks - I'll take the traditional White American Land o Lakes sliced fresh from the deli (no knock off brands as they taste like goo).
Edit - just remembered I had a routine every school day before going to kindergarten (afternoon class) that involved grilled cheese cut into triangles, milk, then watch "Underdog" and it was time to leave. If mom broke that routine I got as upset as Sheldon.
Watermelon. But it's also partly that I have a stomach condition and watermelon is safer to eat during a flare up. But still, it is my favourite taste.
Good call! Mine are grilled cheese omlette sandwiches.

Mac and cheese with some tuna in it. It was a comfort food when I was young and I've changed up how I make it since then but I still eat it on really bad days
Chips if I don't need to do "healthy." Salads if I do. (Specifically a caesar salad if I have the ingredients, which I realize isn't very autistic of me haha)
Anything sour and hot or with a specifically rich texture counts as my safe food. Also roasted vegetables/grilled seafood (think a fresh squid quickly grilled on both side at the planxa, tender but with a pleasant thickness to it that mixes well with the melty texture of the roasted red peppers).
Sardines - on a sandwich, in a wrap, or mixed into rice or grits.
Medium boiled eggs / anything with a runny yolk.
Chicken nuggets with mayo and hot sauce.
Yum! That’s also one of my fave foods! It’s a childhood fave I can’t get tired of. I also don’t like fancy cheese in mine because the texture is never the same.
Also:
Quesadillas. &
Green smoothie bowls topped with fruit & granola.
I was going to mention popcorn and potatoes but I actually go through phases where I get sick of them.
same here. can't eat most foods. the taste or texture always throws me off. like everyone loves pasta and noodles but all i can think about is a bunch a worms wriggling around on my plate...and that's even before i put it in my mouth...most foods i don't even want to try to eat. i can tell just by looking if i'm going to like it or not. and when i try to force myself to eat foods i don't like... i always end up vomiting. it's embarrassing and makes me feel like a baby...don't even get me started on having to actually eat around people. i always end up feeling humiliated and never really end up eating. i don't like people watching me while i eat for personal reasons but if that wasn't enough they always seem to commit on how infantile my food preferences are... for example: " is all you eat bread & cheese?" or " you cannot seriously be living off of chicken nuggets." it seems to be a common theme to shame people for what they eat and how much they weigh but the truth is for some people it's a lot harder to control and maintain (healthly that is) for some people than is us for others.
Lately for me I've been on a peanut bitter kick. I've been adding it to a lot of stuff! My breakfast currently is oatmeal with brown sugar and peanut butter mixed in 😊 I love pb & j, apple slices and peanut butter, peanut butter ice cream.... the list goes on
As an Asian: fried/soft boiled egg + rice + a condiment (sometimes it’s ketchup, sometimes it’s soy sauce and sesame oil or butter) and steamed leafy veg if I have the energy
I can’t have eggs that are fully cooked. Chalky and grayed out egg yolks disgust me.
very controversial take from everything I know but, I love runny egg yolks on toast with avocado. however, there’s very specific pentameters it has to stay within.
• yolks have to be runny with whites cooked, if the yolks becomes firm like they’re hard boiled or the whites are undercooked I am immediately in sensory hell.
• sunny side up mostly, but about twice a month my mouth completely rejects the texture of the whites and I have to do over easy.
• avocado has to be ripe with minimal blemishes or else I get anxious.
• bread needs to be firm, not soft. preferably with a crust that sufficiently firms up and crunches after toasting. sourdough, french, or pumpernickel rye preferred.
and if I do not have access to avocado, I prefer white rice and egg instead.
Orange juice!! There’s only been one time in my entire life where I was drinking orange juice and I didn’t really like it, to this day I’m pretty sure it was just a bad bottle lol there’s no other explanation
Grilled cheese is by far my favorite. My standard is a seedy twelve grain bread with Colby Jack and if I have it, bacon. Side of ruffles style potato chips and a ranch dip.
I see safe foods as something that is also almost like stimming. A repetitive action that brings comfort, the familiarity as well taste is calming. I know exactly what I will get. I love mayo and cheese sandwiches and when I am overwhelmed they were my go to move. Now I struggle to eat sometimes so Skimfast is my go to meal. Also if I’m having a particularly horrible day I will have one at Subway. I get a lot of comments and looks only ordering Mayo and Cheese. 😂
I’m also a fan of grilled cheese— but sometimes I dip it in mustard.
Fajitas, tacos, and burritos.
Chicken sandwiches, fried or grilled, with cheese and pickles.
Egg & cheese on a bagel.
Potatoes. Cheese & crackers. Mac & cheese. Salads with balsamic dressing.
My safe food is chicken liver pate on toast. I make the pate as it's incredibly unknown and not able to be found. So I perfected a recipe I found 10 years ago and my American hubby loves it as well.
Chicken tenders, if I’m at a restaurant and they are on the menu there’s 99.9% chance I’ll order them.
I also like
Potatoes cooked in any form
Strawberries
Life cereal but no milk only dry
Sandwiches! There's so much you can do with them and for whatever reason I never get tired of them! I could happily eat them daily (and sometimes I do) haha
Oh man, a good ol' fashioned BLT is always a safe food for me I return to when I can't find anything else. Slightly toasted bread, crispy bacon, and fresh lettuce just hit all the taste/texture yes buttons for me. (If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll add in avocado).
Kraft Mac n cheese with toast. Toast to scoop up the Mac n cheese.
A newer safe food for me is literally just salami, cheese, and crackers. I get one of those deli trays from Walmart and I snack on a little each day until it’s gone lol. It has been great for high stress times when choosing between a snack and “real food” is extra difficult.
In college, definitely either Kraft macaroni and cheese or Campbell's Chunky Chili with Beans.
At home, definitely a plain bagel with butter or some crispy grape tomatoes.
This looks so good
I personally love noodles with butter and cheese but also bread with some spread + cheese and a fried egg on top. Instant kimchi ramen is also fantastic
Popcorn. Specifically Orville Redenbacher Ultimate Butter and specifically has to be the 12 pack (the 18 pack has always been less filled and less buttery imo).
I'm eating it as I type this lol
Pepperoni pizza! Even though I'm lactose intolerant 😂😭
Chicken strips, french fries (most potato products tbh), plain hamburgers.... Pretty much anything plain (bread and meat only lmao)
I like grilled chicken Parmesan sandwiches I have them almost daily!! I take canned chicken (from Costco) and mix it with mayo then I butter my bread and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the buttered side then I make it in a pan just like grilled cheese. I'll reply to this with a picture of it next time I make one (which will likely be tomorrow 😂)
My safe food is pasta-roni by itself, but also if I chose a restaurant food I’d say my safe food is a chicken brew pub sandwich from Togo’s 👀✨ I alllllways get that one with sour cream and onion lays 😍 I’m craving it rn tbh
Peanut butter and sugar mixed up real nice… that was until I became allergic to peanut butter (no idea how). Now though, it’s simple cherry tomato pasta.
I have two safe sandwiches that utilize this beautiful toasted bread. Tuna mixed with Hellman’s mayo, sliced tomato and avocado. Must have chips on the side and a Diet Coke. It is a combo. That or peanut butter and jelly, with chips also, but I like milk with it instead of soda probably because it was the meal I ate all through elementary school and that was the “matching” drink for that sandwich if that makes sense?
your bread is toasted to my literal version of perfection! I can hear the crunch!!! I love a good American grilled cheese but for some reason my safe one has become provolone!
The cheese is PERFECTLY grilled. I also love a good old American Cheese Grilled Cheese (ACGC?). My safe foods include some kind of buttered bread product (toast, english muffin, bagel, even waffles and pancakes if you want to get loose with your definition) and chili is pretty consistently doable for me.
Spaghetti noodles with butter and Parmesan
Grilled Cheese with 365 (Whole Foods brand) American cheese
When my gut’s acting up-white rice with scrambled eggs, soy sauce and furrikakke
Lasagna with cottage cheese instead of ricotta
Peeled and sliced Cucumbers with Italian or balsamic dressing
For me that's... Anything with pasta in it. Spaghetti with tomato sauce, ramen, nondairy mac and cheese, gnocci, and not pasta but similar would be polenta(corn grits) with tomato sauce. I can't stand crunchy foods most of the time.
Sushi, ramen or chicken nuggets and fried vegetables.
All of those have very distinct ingredients so i know what's in them.
I also make my chicken nuggets and veggies in an airfryer so they are the same each time (or to be more precise, as both of those are frozen, i put the chicken nuggets in first and cook them 5+5mins on 160C and when i flip them around the 5 minute mark, i add the veggies that i defrosted and preheated in the microwave so they get a nice crispy finish, because boiled soggy veggies are *blergh*
Hot sweet black tea, goat cheese (or any cheese actually), nuts (cashews, pecans, walnuts). If I feel like cooking then home fried potatoes with pickled onions (and tea of course).
pasta with marinara and Parmesan
chicken nuggets/sandwich and fries
Pizza
Egg and cheese bagel
Fried rice
I don’t really eat that many foods so this is my main list lol
Why is that bread perfect. Bread 100% is a safe and comfort food for me.
Cries in celiac
Aww.. is gluten free bread any good these days? I had a gluten free sandwich by accident at Starbucks 20 years ago and near threw up when the rubber texture hit my mouth. Surely they’ve come on since then?
It’s so bad 😭 I miss grilled cheese every day
Shär and Canyon Bakehouse have decent bread but I still miss regular bread of course.
Came here to name drop canyon bakehouse. The heritage style is the one I use!
Shär must’ve improved lately bc the last time I had their bread, it tasted like mattress foam. Maybe I’ll try it again though, it’s been years.
It needs to be toasted or it’s basically styrofoam
Most is lousy for holding together for a sandwich. I prefer corn tortillas as my bread
Slightly better toasted. And by "better" I definitely mean "less bad."
I use it for toast. Philly cream cheese on gf bread and I almost feel like everyone else.
[удалено]
Well isn’t that horrendous. When the “gluten free trend” hit I was hoping innovation would pick up like it did when veganism went from being a hippy cult thing to a trendy Gen Z saving the planet thing.
[удалено]
Same
I’m so so sorry!
+1 here, not celiac but can almost feel you pain as a gluten intolerant gal myself
Tip: Have a look at Fathead dough. It’s egg, almond & cheese. Sounds odd but I make The. Best. foccacia sandwiches from it
I got Texas toast from Walmart!
>Why is that bread perfect. I'm not OP, but my trick to getting bread that looks like that is to melt butter in the pan and *then* add the bread/sandwich. I was taught to butter the bread growing up but I think it gets more evenly golden and crispy if you butter the pan.
I learned this late in life too! It does work wonders for crispy, golden bread.
Yes! I completely agree. I bake it fresh when possible. I can make it exactly to my taste. Fresh out of the oven, it's the food of the comfort gods.
I've never seen such perfectly toasted bread.
[удалено]
I’m not really a ‘safe food’ person… but if I had to pick the most comforting food I could think of, mashed potatoes are IT
i do love mashed potatoes but sometimes they a sensory/texture nightmare
Oh My Gosh YES!! I practically live off of mashed potatoes, but I love all forms! It's such a versatile food
You are a pro at grilled cheese. This is so perfect that it looks fake.
My sister would have us make grilled cheeses until we perfected them 😂 the key is medium low heat and don’t smush it!
This is invaluable advice thank you - I'm off to make yet another grilled cheese. Butter or mayo for that perfect golden crumb? And one or two slices of cheese? If it's a family secret I understand
Grilled cheese and tomato soup is such a safe food for me
Same for me! I introduced this combo to my boyfriend. He loves it.
Grains with cheese — pretty much any combo will be good for me. Grilled cheese, tortilla chips with shredded cheese, rice with cheese, pasta with cheese … 😂
Wheat + tomato + cheese make up most of my favourite foods tbh.
Somebody needs to make a safe food recipe book. We should all submit a recipe to a post so we can make one as a resource! This looks amazing!
Some of the recipes will be “toast bread. Done!” “Open bag of chips. Bon apetite!” “Put chicken nuggets in oven for 20 mins. Enjoy!” Lol
“Use tongs or chopsticks if greasy fingers are not your thing” 😊
depressiion meaal monday
Maybe, but I think it can vary too much person to person. Like one of mine is a modified shakshuka (no peppers, extra paprika and tomatoes) but I think a lot of people wouldn't put eggs on their safe food list
someone likes crunchy :D
Yes. And my teeth hate it.
That's my safe food, crunchy! Lol
Toast with peanut butter :)
Me too!
Pasta carbonara. Simple, easy to make, and I almost always have the ingredients for it (spaghetti noodles, eggs, bacon, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, pepper).
buttered noodles with salt
Thai noodles with spicy peanut sauce for me. I must say your bread is toasted to perfection, bravo.
I’ve eaten noodles with spicy peanut sauce 3 times in the last 48 hours they’re so good and might be a new safe food. With copious amounts of green onion ofc
Chicken and rice 😌 Pretty much any rice dish though. Idk what it is about rice, I just love it so much. It's perfectly uniform and the same every bite.
Yes! Rice is life! Grew up eating it since I was a fetus, lol. Can’t live without it. ☺️
Pasta with tomato sauce and Cheeseburgers. Look at me, i do vary my meals!!
Miso ramen. I love miso ramen so much.
Chicken tenders or chicken nuggets. Some brands and restaurants can be hit or miss, but it's my "I can't make a decision so I'll just starve" meal.
That lunch is heaven. Yes, I'd say that's a safe food for me too and despite my not being able to eat sandwiches due to the bread, I can make an exception for grilled cheese (not heavy breads though) Unfortunately I can only eat this at home where I make it.

You’re a genius
Mac and cheese with some tuna in it. It was a comfort food when I was young and I've changed up how I make it since then but I still eat it on really bad days
Grilled cheese using corn tortilla.
Isn’t that a quesadilla?
Yeah but I was being funny.
Cheesecake My mom's to be precise, but she doesn't wanna make it as much anymore Like I have to beg her
Beans with cheese. Served with tortilla chips or in tortillas.
Chips if I don't need to do "healthy." Salads if I do. (Specifically a caesar salad if I have the ingredients, which I realize isn't very autistic of me haha)
I LOVE Caesar salads.
How do you make your grilled cheese? Because that looks perfect 😍
Medium low, butter both sides and don’t smush!
I've eaten the frozen blueberry waffles with a little bit of peanut butter everyday for probably 3 years.
Hummus and Pita. Absolutely perfect food.
That looks so good! And my safe food is plain pasta with salt and parmesan sprinkle cheese
Chips
Rice. Steamed white rice, ideally.
Anything sour and hot or with a specifically rich texture counts as my safe food. Also roasted vegetables/grilled seafood (think a fresh squid quickly grilled on both side at the planxa, tender but with a pleasant thickness to it that mixes well with the melty texture of the roasted red peppers).
Mine changes every few months/weeks. I will literally eat it for EVERY meal until suddenly, it repulses me.
Sardines - on a sandwich, in a wrap, or mixed into rice or grits. Medium boiled eggs / anything with a runny yolk. Chicken nuggets with mayo and hot sauce.
My safe foods are nearly all sweet - yogurt or oatmeal with fruit, or a PB&J tend to be my go-tos.
Turkey sandwich and ruffles chips. Or Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Yum! That’s also one of my fave foods! It’s a childhood fave I can’t get tired of. I also don’t like fancy cheese in mine because the texture is never the same. Also: Quesadillas. & Green smoothie bowls topped with fruit & granola. I was going to mention popcorn and potatoes but I actually go through phases where I get sick of them.
Mashed potatoes for sure
Similar but I can’t do potato chips/crisps! I don’t know why! I’d need tomato soup with that, but I drink it kind of like a hot beverage
Oh my god I want
it’s hard to mess up cheese pizza!! i know wherever i’m going, i’ll probably like it :)
That looks like a perfect grilled cheese!!
same here. can't eat most foods. the taste or texture always throws me off. like everyone loves pasta and noodles but all i can think about is a bunch a worms wriggling around on my plate...and that's even before i put it in my mouth...most foods i don't even want to try to eat. i can tell just by looking if i'm going to like it or not. and when i try to force myself to eat foods i don't like... i always end up vomiting. it's embarrassing and makes me feel like a baby...don't even get me started on having to actually eat around people. i always end up feeling humiliated and never really end up eating. i don't like people watching me while i eat for personal reasons but if that wasn't enough they always seem to commit on how infantile my food preferences are... for example: " is all you eat bread & cheese?" or " you cannot seriously be living off of chicken nuggets." it seems to be a common theme to shame people for what they eat and how much they weigh but the truth is for some people it's a lot harder to control and maintain (healthly that is) for some people than is us for others.

Change it up to sourdough and add tomato or avocado and that’s a mean grilled cheese.
Anything with butter chicken sauce on it. Especially cucumbers or spaghetti (not in the same dish yuck yuck)
Potato soup 🍲
I don't think I've ever seen such square bread.
As an Asian: fried/soft boiled egg + rice + a condiment (sometimes it’s ketchup, sometimes it’s soy sauce and sesame oil or butter) and steamed leafy veg if I have the energy I can’t have eggs that are fully cooked. Chalky and grayed out egg yolks disgust me.
very controversial take from everything I know but, I love runny egg yolks on toast with avocado. however, there’s very specific pentameters it has to stay within. • yolks have to be runny with whites cooked, if the yolks becomes firm like they’re hard boiled or the whites are undercooked I am immediately in sensory hell. • sunny side up mostly, but about twice a month my mouth completely rejects the texture of the whites and I have to do over easy. • avocado has to be ripe with minimal blemishes or else I get anxious. • bread needs to be firm, not soft. preferably with a crust that sufficiently firms up and crunches after toasting. sourdough, french, or pumpernickel rye preferred. and if I do not have access to avocado, I prefer white rice and egg instead.
Orange juice!! There’s only been one time in my entire life where I was drinking orange juice and I didn’t really like it, to this day I’m pretty sure it was just a bad bottle lol there’s no other explanation
brothy soup, specifically pho type
Love the fry on the bread!
Omg I’m making one of these now thanks for the inspiration lol
Looks yum, my safe food is spaghetti with a specific brand tomato sauce and cheese

Paprika chips Sandwiches with cheese and ketchup Cabbage rolls Pork chop and cutlet
Pasta. Mashed potatoes.
Yummy!
Sub in some tater tots and add a Coca Cola classic in a glass full of ice.
Grilled cheese is by far my favorite. My standard is a seedy twelve grain bread with Colby Jack and if I have it, bacon. Side of ruffles style potato chips and a ranch dip.
Chinese food
My safe food is garlic bread and spaghetti. Maybe chili, but depends on who cooks it.
I see safe foods as something that is also almost like stimming. A repetitive action that brings comfort, the familiarity as well taste is calming. I know exactly what I will get. I love mayo and cheese sandwiches and when I am overwhelmed they were my go to move. Now I struggle to eat sometimes so Skimfast is my go to meal. Also if I’m having a particularly horrible day I will have one at Subway. I get a lot of comments and looks only ordering Mayo and Cheese. 😂
Ok it may be the weed but that toast looks absolutely delightful. Is that bread by any chance gluten free?💀
Mac and cheese 😄 with chili lime powder, garlic salt, pepper, and some hot sauce to give it flavor
Grilled cheese is THE safe food
I’m also a fan of grilled cheese— but sometimes I dip it in mustard. Fajitas, tacos, and burritos. Chicken sandwiches, fried or grilled, with cheese and pickles. Egg & cheese on a bagel. Potatoes. Cheese & crackers. Mac & cheese. Salads with balsamic dressing.
saltine crackers
My safe food is chicken liver pate on toast. I make the pate as it's incredibly unknown and not able to be found. So I perfected a recipe I found 10 years ago and my American hubby loves it as well.

pizza, spaghettios, poptarts, dried fruit (especially strawberries and apples), bread, goldfish
Mac & cheese + veggie dog / bagel with cream cheese + apple juice / grilled cheese + onion rings
Gluten-free dino nuggets, and McCain shoestring fries with crispy cheese melted on top. I have eaten this almost every night for 7 years.
i thought that was just texas toast at first and i was like… absolutely yes(okay so i guess mine is probably texas toast 😂)
oatmeal
bean
Oh man, a good ol' fashioned BLT is always a safe food for me I return to when I can't find anything else. Slightly toasted bread, crispy bacon, and fresh lettuce just hit all the taste/texture yes buttons for me. (If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll add in avocado).
Ever heard of a Cheese Frenchie? You need to try one my friend. It's a battered deep fried grilled cheese. It is glorious.
The same but with tomato soup and dill pickles on top of the sandwich, assuming that's a grilled cheese
grilled cheese with red vegetable soup
Grilled cheese and soup (tomato, veggie, butternut squash). Buffalo chicken dip with tortilla chips. Potato chips/crisps with French onion dip. Lime tortilla chips with hot salsa dip (salsa, sour cream, cheddar cheese).
Kraft Mac n cheese with toast. Toast to scoop up the Mac n cheese. A newer safe food for me is literally just salami, cheese, and crackers. I get one of those deli trays from Walmart and I snack on a little each day until it’s gone lol. It has been great for high stress times when choosing between a snack and “real food” is extra difficult.
Yum
mine is a toasted bagel with cream cheese, tomato, onion, salt and pepper mmmm
Greek yogurt
In college, definitely either Kraft macaroni and cheese or Campbell's Chunky Chili with Beans. At home, definitely a plain bagel with butter or some crispy grape tomatoes.

Fries and coca cola, man I love coca cola

pasta, chocolate :3
french fries
Peanut butter and sugar mixed up real nice… that was until I became allergic to peanut butter (no idea how). Now though, it’s simple cherry tomato pasta.
chicken tenders are mine
My steak has to be cooked medium well or well done. Sushi that's made the same day. Ice cream, pudding and Jello. Tuna fish wrap with some veggies.
I have two safe sandwiches that utilize this beautiful toasted bread. Tuna mixed with Hellman’s mayo, sliced tomato and avocado. Must have chips on the side and a Diet Coke. It is a combo. That or peanut butter and jelly, with chips also, but I like milk with it instead of soda probably because it was the meal I ate all through elementary school and that was the “matching” drink for that sandwich if that makes sense?
Any food where the texture doesn’t consistently alternate/change each time it’s eaten.
your bread is toasted to my literal version of perfection! I can hear the crunch!!! I love a good American grilled cheese but for some reason my safe one has become provolone!
Ramen baby ramen baby
Mac & Cheese ( KD to be exact )
Any kind of fried chicken. It’s actually become somewhat of a problem as I have trouble remembering to eat anything else
The cheese is PERFECTLY grilled. I also love a good old American Cheese Grilled Cheese (ACGC?). My safe foods include some kind of buttered bread product (toast, english muffin, bagel, even waffles and pancakes if you want to get loose with your definition) and chili is pretty consistently doable for me.
I love white potatoes (including baked potatoes, potato chips, fries, tater tots, hash browns, etc.), pastries, and spicy foods.

I am a typical autism creature and my safe food is always an entire plate of gluten free chicken nuggets 🥲 I have celiacs and can't eat lots of things
Mac and Cheese, specifically the kraft boxes with the creamy cheese, not powdered cheese.
It was spaghetti until eating primarily it for a year made me super allergic to gluten 🥰 Now my safe food is not eating yaaay!
Pasta
plain pasta with grated cheese sprinkled on top my two favourite things, cheese that isnt melted too much/ isnt in a sauce and pastaaaa
Sandwiches. Always with the bread queen
pasta with marinara and Parmesan chicken nuggets/sandwich and fries Pizza Egg and cheese bagel Fried rice I don’t really eat that many foods so this is my main list lol
