This gluten-free thing is getting out of hand

OK, I'm hispanic and all, but rice every meal and snack? I'm using Rice Dream on my Rice Krispies. I'm having white rice with beef stew for lunch right now and will be having tilapia fillets with rice and beans for dinner. This is pathetic. Oh and a Rice Krispies treat for my dessert after lunch, and a caramel rice cake after dinner.

I will be having potato tomorrow for dinner, and the other half of this lunch again. But if I make eggs for breakfast, how do I reheat them when I get them to work? They'll taste terrible. I love rice, but I don't want to get sick of it either. I'm already getting sick of potatoes. I can only eat so many plantains, ripe or green. And we eat those fried most of the time. I don't want to eat all of that oil. I've never been big on fried foods, believe it or not.

I have coworker that has a son who is allergic to wheat also. She has given me lots of suggestions. There is a Whole Foods store that has just opened up real close by, but it is so expensive. I have to sit down and really rethink this whole menu thing. I wouldn't mind buying one or two expensive items a week. I can handle that if it will get me through this, and not make me disgusted by foods I love.
