Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of April 14, 2013
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.

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 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.

Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of February 24, 2013
I’ve got 7 great days of wonderful dishes lined up for this week’s gluten-free diet menu plan. Here are the highlights.
Stuffed Peppers, a classic in my home, will begin the week. I’ve combined the peppers with raw veggies and biscotti. Now biscotti is really fun to make. I hope you enjoy fooling around in the kitchen like I do.
Then, on Day 2 there will be a Mediterranean-inspired chicken. That’s followed by a Low Carb Meal on Day 3 which features tilapia done in the oven; quick and yummy.
Day 4 is another old favorite in my home… a Crockpot Meal of Beef Stew. My husband absolutely loves this one so I’ll probably need to make extra.
Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of February 17, 2013
Here we are ready for Presidents Day this week, and even though the groundhog predicted an early spring a few weeks ago, we’re still having winter here. The whole idea of winter makes me want another steaming mug of coffee, so come join me while we look at the gluten-free menu plan for this week.
There are three 30 Minute Meals this week, including the one for Presidents Day. So, in honor of George Washington’s birthday, we’re adding dried cherries to the Marshmallow Crispy Treats.
For the first time this week we are featuring a Paleo Diet Menu (that’s on Day 7).
Easy Yellow Split Pea Soup in the Slow Cooker
This winter we’ve been adding more color and flavor to our meals by making our own soups, just like this Yellow Split Pea Soup. It’s so attractive with its yellow color, especially with some fresh parsley to top it.
Some recipes include a ham bone with split peas, but I think yellow split peas have enough flavor on their own that a good stock is sufficient to make a satisfying soup. In the slow cooker, with your favorite stock, this makes a filling dish, suitable for lunch or a light supper. This could easily be vegetarian or vegan by using your favorite vegetable stock.
