So I meandered through the frozen food aisles, seeking products that would be available at the last minute, in my freezer. I will show you what I found, but first I need to share two wonderful tidbits I rediscovered:
1. "Raw onions are to be avoided but cooked in food may be okay". (National Headache Foundation)
2.At first "no onions" and then, "after you have been on the diet for 6-10 weeks (that's me!) you may be able to tolerate cooked onions". And, no aged cheese but "after a time, you might try adding back relatively young cheese such as goat or mozzarella". (Buchholz - Healing Your Headache )
Labels may change so please check before buying
Trader Joe's (Freezer section)
1. TJ Baked Ziti Reduced Guilt (no onions listed) Actually tastes fine. The amount of cheese is minuscule and you can lift it off after cooked, if you are worried. It does not look like the picture. Serve with a salad or vegetables. It is very filling.
2. TJ Tandoori Naan
3. TJ Turkey Burgers (They are not bad. I sauteed in a little oil, ground pepper and rosemary. I served them with sliced tomatoes, quinoa and a small dollop of Dijon mustard)
TJ Grass Fed Angus Beef Burgers
TJ Wild Salmon
4. Cheese Blintzes ( I serve these with a green salad with thin sliced apple, dried cherries and a sweet dressing (see below), and steamed carrots.
5. Organic Quinoa
Organic Rice Medley
Organic Brown Rice
Organic Jasmine Rice
The following looked good but did include "cooked onions".
TJ Paneer Masala Naan
TJ Vegetable Panang Curry
TJ Palak Paneer (listed at the very end of ingredients)Very good and filling - we each ate 1/2 of it with rice. No reaction for me up to 48 hours later.
Also, Trader Grotto Organic Spinach and Ricotta Pizza (has a dough conditioner and a very little amount of mozzarella cheese, no onions) Very tasty. I served it with a Greek salad of cucumber, green pepper, Romaine salad greens, a little tomato, parsley, dried oregano and feta. Toss with olive oil (2 parts), vinegar (1 part), salt and pepper.
