I've swapped all of my rice with shredded cauliflower. Cauliflower fried rice is SO good.

Baked butternut squash = best. Turn the oven on for 425. Chop butternut squash into cubes. Drizzle with olive oil & honey. Season with salt & pepper. Throw some cayenne pepper in there is you want to go crazy. Cook for 20-30 min or until it's soft/brown on the edges depending on how you like it. The honey glazes the squash and it's to die for. Actually, this technique for all sorts of vegetables work. I do the same for sweet potatoes and carrots.

Marinate chicken with green tabasco, lime juice, honey and salt for a few hours. Then grill it. It’s filled with flavor and light.

Grilled avocado: stuffed with a mix of cucumber, tomato and crispy grilled chickpeas. So good.

I would suggest not trying any of the substitutes, like a gluten free pizza crust, for 3 months or so. Your taste buds will change in that time, so they won't be expecting regular crust or bread or pasta, etc. Though the pasta isn't too bad, IMO, it does take longer to cook, and at my elevation, I had to add salt to the water. I went gluten, dairy and dye free for a time to see if it helped my oldests ADHD, which it didn't help his. HTH, and good luck
