Starting a Gluten Free Diet: Free Menu Plan

Free Menu Plan: As promised, here is a free menu plan for the first week of your gluten free diet. The menu ended up being chicken-centric, which I apologize for. I was trying to pick recipes that wouldn’t require any ingredients that aren’t widely available, and it wasn’t until I finished that I realized I’d [...]

Eggnog French Toast

This is a picture of my stove the morning after Christmas.

The monkey bread that I made on Christmas morning was a little dry and the only milk-like substance in the house was a half empty carton of Silk Eggnog.

So my little elf helper and I pulled out “Joy [...]

A Gift For My Dear Readers, and This Week’s Menu

I promised you a surprise for this weekend and I’ve finally gotten it finished. If you’ll look at the top of my blog (RSS and email readers, click here to visit the blog) you’ll see a new tab called “Free Menu Plan”. And if you go to the tab you’ll find [...]

Gluten Free Menu – July 14th

I hadn’t planned on posting my menu for the week since I didn’t finish it until lunch today. But just looking at the list makes me happy so I thought I’d share. All of the meals that are not linked are test recipes, so let me know which ones you’re interested in seeing.

Gluten Free (and [...]

An Asian Inspired Menu

Sometimes a girl just needs some indulgence time. And after a week of everyone being sick with high fevers, that’s what I’m hoping this coming week will be. I really want to curl up on the couch with a good book and a plate full of Chinese take-out. I took care of the book situation [...]

Menu Monday: June 30th

Just a quick post to share my menu for the week with you. Most of this week’s recipes are from a cookbook published by my high school. I was pleasantly surprised to find several recipes that sounded good and did not have a lot of gluten containing ingredients. Replacing the meat in some [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – June 2nd

Here’s a look at what I’ll be making for supper this week. After one day on the Eat to Live plan, I can report the following: (1) that I haven’t been hungry, (2) that everything we’ve eaten has tasted really good, and (3) that I had to get John to hide the chocolate chips =)

The [...]

Gluten Free Menu – May 11th

I wasn’t going to do a menu for this week, but decided I had nothing better to do while finishing off a slice of gluten free Dutch Apple Pie. Yum =) So without further ado, here’s my menu:

Monday: Spinach Enchiladas and Southwest Black Bean Salad with Baked Spiced Goat Cheese that I didn’t make [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – May 5th

I’m so happy! I’m finally planning our menu for the first time in months and I’m really excited about trying some new recipes. My inspiration for this week’s menu is the cookbook Beans by Eliza Green. We bought this cookbook before we switched to a vegetarian diet because we knew we need to [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – February 10th

As I mentioned in 10 Strategies to Lower My Grocery Bill – Part 1 I have a grocery budget of $600 a month, which is currently broken down to $300 per pay check. One of our strategies for staying on our overall budget this year is to use the envelope system. So when I got [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – February 4th

Sunday has rolled around again and it’s time for Gluten Free Menu Swap. This week’s Swap is hosted by Sally at Aprovechar, so stop by her blog on Monday to get the full roundup.

My menu this week was based on the staples that I already had in the pantry: rice, beans, and gluten free pasta. [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – January 21st

I haven’t planned my menu yet. We went shopping on Thursday and I just bought a ton of vegetables and normal pantry stocking things. But it’s 10:18 on Sunday night and I need to get this post up, so I’m going to share my general thoughts and ideas of what we’ll be eating over the [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap- January 7th

Sunday night is here again and it’s time to post my menu for next week. I feel like I’m coming down with something, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet so that I can get to bed early.

The host of this week’s Gluten Free Menu Swap is Natalie at Gluten Free Mommy. And [...]

Gluten Free Menu – December 31st

It’s a new year and time to start planning meals again after a couple of weeks of kitchen madness. For some crazy reason I thought that not planning meals would make the holiday season easier, but boy was I ever wrong! I’m so tired of trying to come up with a meal and not having [...]

Gluten Free Menu – December 10th

Some Sundays it is very comforting to know that I won’t have to figure out what we’re having for supper on my drive home from work every day. December has been a very tiring month so far, and I want this week to be easy. So even though Gluten Free Menu Swap is on hiatus [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – December 3rd

Just a short post to give everyone my menu for the week. Unfortunately I’ll be out of town on a business trip from Tuesday to Friday and John and David will be fending for themselves. The menu should give you a good idea of how John copes with cooking when I’m not around or [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – November 19th

Thanksgiving is almost here! We’re about to sit down to a pre-Thanksgiving dinner trial run. Gluten Free Southern Cornbread Dressing, Gluten Free Gravy, Gluten free Green Bean & Corn Casserole, Gluten Free Cranberry Orange Relish, and Gluten Free Pan-Fried Tofu.

For those of you who are about to have your first Gluten Free Thanksgiving, I [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – November 12th

Here’s the picture of my gluten free tortellini attempt. As you can see we ended up making ravioli.

This week’s menu starts off easy since it is largely a repeat of last week! We had quite a busy week buying a new car and working on a house that we’re putting up for sale, so we [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – November 5th

The leaves are starting to change color here in Alabama and my winter garden of greens is flourishing. I think that the arugula and lettuce are almost ready to harvest, so I made sure to include them in my menu for this week. And as soon as we get our first frost the chard, [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – October 29th

David and I just got back from a great weekend with my parents, and I am so glad that I took the time last Sunday to prepare menus for two weeks. I knew then that we would get in late today and that I would be tired, so I decided to be nice to myself [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – October 22

We’ll be out of town this weekend, so my menu for the week is based on what is in the refrigerator that needs to be eaten. I think I did a pretty good job, since our grocery bill today was only a third of what it usually is. The meals are relatively well-balanced and I [...]

Gluten Free Menu Swap – October 15

Sunday is here again and thanks to Gluten Free Mommy’s Gluten Free Menu Swap, I have actually planned our meals for the week. Now I’ve just got to force myself to sit down and make the shopping list (groan!). I’m not looking forward to facing Walmart after work tomorrow night!

Gluten Free Mommy is hosting the [...]
