Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of May 5, 2013
This week’s Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan is high-lighted by a quick-and-easy 30 minute meal featuring Roasted Chicken Breasts garnished with veggies. I’ve used some of my favorite cut vegetables in Day 5′s treat. However, you can modify the recipe to use yours!
But, no matter what you top it with… Steaming hot from the oven, it’s sure to look good and taste delicious too!
Enjoy!
Gluten-Free Pasta Elbows with Sauce & Veggies — an Easy Alternative to Gluten-free Spaghetti
… I usually use my own preference for the proportion of pasta to vegetables in this dish. Try it and decide what works best for you. I often cook more veggies than the recipe calls for. And, I’ll keep them in a separate dish so that I can add more of them to my plate if the mood strikes me.
Depending on how many carbs I’ve already had that day, I may skip the pasta entirely and just have my sauce with the veggies… I really like just the veggies in sauce sometimes.
This is one of my family’s favorite gluten-free ground beef recipes. The gluten-free sauce combined with the ground beef seasoned perfectly to your taste can be a marvelous addition to your meal time.

Are “Gluten-Free” Condiments the Culprit?
… As I looked around the Internet recently I noticed articles and comments about individuals becoming ill because they used condiments which were not gluten-free. I understand from first-hand experience how very easy it is to accidentally contaminate your food with condiments such as Worcestershire sauce, bullion cubes and things like this. I’ve done it myself… I don’t know how many times.

Barbecue Pulled Pork in the Slow Cooker
My husband Al, who doesn’t like anything barbecue… And, don’t get me started about Al and hot spices… He surprised the “bejeebers” out of me. I’ll tell you more about Al in a moment. But first…
… First, let me explain that I was going to be out of the house all day and I needed something that I could make that was yummy as well as really easy. Pulled barbecued pork seemed like just the thing because I could dump it in my crock pot and leave it to cook slowly all day while I was away “taking care of business.”
I had some pork loin roast in the ‘fridge that was just begging to be used. So, before I left the house yesterday, I grabbed the roast, put it in the crock pot, bones and all, added enough water so it wouldn’t boil away in the next 10 or so hours and the necessary barbecue “stuff.”
Now, back to Al…
Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of March 17, 2013 – St. Patrick’s Day
Are you wondering how to stay on a gluten-free diet and still enjoy a traditional St. Patrick’s Day feast? Here are some menu ideas that will see you through the day and take your menu plan all the way to the end of the week.
Two of these main dishes are made in the crockpot – the corned beef and the beef round roast — to make great meals without hours of watching something cook.
There are three 30 Minute Meals this week – corned beef sandwiches, broiled salmon and pizza topped with shrimp. The chicken stir fry is quick, too, but the sweet black Thai rice that is paired with it takes a little longer to cook so I usually allow almost an hour total time for that dish.
Gluten-Free Chicken Breast Sandwich with Tomato & Mayonnaise
In my family’s opinion, this is one of the best sandwiches there is… Period!
It’s a great meal for a gluten-free diet. It’s also not too hard to make several for a mixed group of gluten-free and gluten-y people since each person can have their own choice of bread on their own plate. You can put one of these sandwiches together in 10 minutes or less for a quick and easy meal.
Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of March 3, 2013
The Menu Plan for this first week in March starts off with a quick and flavorful pork chop dinner and finishes with a roast beef dinner (it’s also a delicious paleo meal). In between are chicken soup, a casserole, pan-grilled salmon and more. Four of these are 30 minute meals so there’s still time to eat on busy days.
