These are meals which I cook at home which obey all the migraine-friendly restrictions.
For the Aussie-language-impaired, “Kraft cheese” is what the David Buchholz book and Wikipedia call “American cheese”. Basically it’s that processed plastic-ey crap which I assume is excluded from the “do not eat cheese” category because it contains no actual cheese whatsoever. I think all the other words translate OK – ask if something doesn’t make sense.

Hi. Yes, I would love some of these recipes. I just started this migraine diet about 4 weeks ago. It’s getting easier but so hard for me. I am a graduate student so I don’t have a lot of time to cook but love to make good meals from scratch and eat it later. Can you help me find more recipes? Thank you so much!
