This week’s Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan is highlighted by the fact that it’s got 2 Slow Cooker Meals and 5 quick, 30 Minute Meals. The meals are all quick or “no-brainer” easy!
I guess it reflects the fact that I’ve been out of the office for several weeks on a temporary assignment. So I’m “knockin’ ‘em out” fast and furious today.
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…
Have you ever wondered how a Paleo Diet can help you with ANY sport requiring endurance? Have you wondered if it would work for you?
I know I have.
And, because of that I began to investigate in, I think, October or November of 2012 about whether a “Gluten-Freer” could actually eat a Paleo Diet. This article gets into that and other important questions.
I know… It’s not Gluten-Free related but I think you might want to watch…

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.
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.
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.
When it’s time to start dinner, easy chicken recipes are a good thing to have. So, today I’m sharing my 7 most popular gluten-free chicken recipes.
From slow cooked in the crockpot, to roasted in the oven and everything in between, all are simple, no-fuss dishes. Each one makes a meal that you and your whole family can enjoy. That’s the way gluten-free cooking should be – strictly safe for those who need to eat a gluten-free diet, but delicious and flavorful for everyone to enjoy.

There are so many activities going on besides the usual right now -- graduations, weddings, vacations, sports -- that's when planning ahead with a Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan is even more helpful.
Preparing healthy snacks is usually time-consuming The good news is that not every snack has to be complicated or time-consuming to be healthy. Gluten-free trail mix can be as healthy as you want it to be. Quick to make. Quick to pack. Easy to carry. Nutrition on the go. Those are good reasons to make some with your own favorite ingredients.
If you are like we are at my house, everyone is looking for snacks.
Personally, I like snacks that are healthier and good too!
To accomplish that, I usually try to make something with more fiber and less refined sugar so I won't worry about "health issues" when the “munchies” attack.
The applesauce, oatmeal and raisins in this recipe provide fiber, vitamins and other "health conscious" nutrients. And, to make it sweet, the fructose sugar in the apples and raisins provide a positively lovely, delicate sweetness and aroma. The brown rice syrup adds more sweetness and helps the bars stick together.
This snack cake is easy to make. It works well for snacks, lunch boxes and it even works well with yogurt. Of course, it's a "no-brainer" to have or serve it with a big glass of milk.
It's finally June and summer is just around the corner...
... So I think that it's time to talk about cookouts, complete with buns and all the trimmings.
In fact, I've planned two cookouts in the gluten-free diet menu plan this week. So, we'll have gluten-free hot dogs one evening and gluten-free hamburgers another evening.
Gluten-free and Gluten-y family members alike will all absolutely love this beef round steak with vegetables from the crock pot recipe.
It's a classic stick-to-the-ribs family-style meal that is every bit as good as your favorite stew... And, you can thicken the delicious broth that you'll get after simmering for several hours in your slow cooker into a silky-smooth gravy that will make the meal even better.
This meal only takes 20-minutes or so to put together and then can simmer for as long as necessary... Whatever that means in your world. It's a low preparation-time recipe that you and your whole family are sure to enjoy.
