Raven – Great idea! Who needs bread when there are so many wonderful alternatives?! Thanks for sharing another one with us.

I love all of these ideas, and already use them! Another one that may seem odd, but works well for me are nori sheets. Nori sheets are the seaweed sheets used to make sushi. The texture is different, but nori blends well with standard deli meats, cheeses, even mayo and mustard. Since they’re savory and sometimes a tad salty, they bring out the flavor of the food without overwhelming it.

Typically, I spread my favorite stone ground mustard in a thin layer, lay out my fillings on one end in a thin line (my current favorite is turkey, swiss, and pickles or avocado, plus a little spinach or lettuce), and roll it up. It takes two or three rolls to hold the ingredients of one deli sandwich, but they look neat on a plate and really bring out the flavor of the mustard.

Kelly – I’m so glad you found it useful. I’m sure as you get used to the diet, you’ll come up with even more ideas for eating gluten free.

I’m new to a GF diet (apparently I have always been intolerant to gluten but my body tolerated it for 38 years until it reached the breaking point and alerted me by making me faint at 2 very inopportune places, airplane and restaurant). Thank you for these great options. I’m going on a week long beach vacation where the daily lunch is packing sandwiches. I’m pretty sure everyone is going to be jealous of my ingenious “sandwiches”!

I got an email from a reader who also suggested a couple other ideas I could share with you:
Tostadas are a great idea. You can buy them already cooked and ready to add beans, meat, cheese or whatever you like.
Corn tortillas can also be placed in a toaster oven for quick cooking. Add cheese and ham before toasting and you’ll have a hot ham and cheese sandwich in no time.

Thanks for putting all these great ideas down in one place. I’ve used them all at one point or another and some certainly get more use, like rice cakes and lettuce, than others.

OK, I’m really missing rice wraps between you and Wendy. I stick with the lettuce wraps! Great ideas.
