Hi there! (This is my first post.) I’ve been eating keto since April 2018. My mother-in-law has been put on a vegan diet by her doctor and she has also been instructed to eat NO OIL (even plant-based oils) in addition to no animal products. This has made it difficult when we visit her (she lives in another state) because she and I have so little that we can eat in common. We have managed so far, like when she has grilled mushrooms on a bun and I have a bunless burger when everyone else in the family has a burger on a bun. But I would like some new ideas for things we can cook at her house that work for both of us. This is what I have so far:
-
low carb salad: leafy greens, nuts, avocado, mushrooms…She can add her preferred non-oil dressing and have a baked potato and I can add an oil-based dressing, cheese, and boiled egg to my salad.
-
low carb vegetable soup: I can have the soup with added olive oil and maybe grated Parmesan on top. She can have it with the added pasta or rice. Celery, spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, tomato, cauliflower, jalapeño, broccoli, okra, snow peas, etc. are all low enough carb that I could make it work.
-
veggie fajitas with grilled onion, mushrooms, peppers and homemade salsa and guacamole. I could just add some oil to mine and go without the tortillas.
Anyone else have any ideas for meals that lend themselves to both a keto and vegan/no oil diet with minor modifications?
Thank you!
