Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of September 9, 2012
For this week I have gluten-free recipes lined up to feed the whole family…and make your gluten-free diet menu plan work from the beginning to the end…from the Beef Pot Roast meal at the beginning all the way to the Green Chili Pulled Pork over Bean Burritos at the end of the week.
Gluten Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of August 26, 2012
Here is my next gluten-free diet menu plan, complete with some of my family’s favorite meals.
I haven’t prepared a menu plan lately, and I’ve been feeling the lack of organization. To be honest, it’s been crazy! Having a plan should return a tad more peace into my kitchen – it always does.
Another benefit: Most of these gluten-free meals also are fairly simple to prepare. The baked snacks and desserts take a little more time, but if you don’t want to turn on the oven for them, you can always serve more of the fruit and yogurt snacks…or buy a few goodies from your local gluten-free bakery or health food store. The Oatmeal Bars and the Applesauce Nut Muffins are favorites for packing and snacking around here. The Chocolate Potato Cake is planned for a birthday request.
Menu Plan for March 5, 2012
My gluten-free menu plan for the week is here, even if it is a little bit late. (I like to start the week on Sunday….) I’m putting my week into order with a menu to simplify my daily routine, help with my shopping and manage my family’s apparent tendency towards our less-healthy old favorites four nights out of seven. Now when we have a comfort food, it will be in the plan!
Kale, Zucchini & Fusilli Dinner for Your Gluten-Free Diet
Recently I was looking for another way to include kale in some of our gluten-free meals. Kale is a powerhouse of nutrition to use in a healthy gluten-free diet. We’ve eaten kale in salads, had it steamed and braised, and even baked it into chips. I decided this time to include kale in another of our favorite dishes, a “skillet dinner.” You probably know what a “skillet dinner” is, but my personal definition is that it’s a quick skillet-full of several nutritious gluten-free things that I have on hand, including meat, if you want it. In my home, an ideal “skillet dinner” satisfies everyone at my table. Plus, it is fairly easy to clean up. (I especially like the “easy-to-clean-up” [...]

Onions Braised With Parsley
Onions add their sweet, savory flavor to many of the things I cook. They also deserve a spotlight of their own. You can usually find pearl onions year-round in the produce department (or if you want, in the freezer case). Dressed up just a little with butter and parsley, and maybe a little paprika, they’re a great side dish for many meals. You can easily use a substitute for the butter to make the onions casein-free.

Blackeyed Pea Soup with Veggies – Gluten-Free
Need something gluten-free that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg that is delicious and nutritious? You might find that this is right up your alley….
… A good way to save some money and eat healthy at the same time is to cook some basic foods from scratch. Using whole foods, like this easy-to-cook recipe for Blackeyed Pea Soup does, makes living gluten-free so much easier.

Butterscotch Bars – Gluten-Free
“Yum!” I heard as I was setting up a photo of the Butterscotch Bars I’d just baked. I turned around to see my husband grabbing a whole handful of them from the pan as he was finishing his first mouthful. He’s usually not so interested in my gluten-free cookies, but these really were outstanding.
Navy Bean Soup — Gluten-Free and Casein-Free
Navy beans are one of our favorites here…well, especially Al’s favorites. He likes them with just about anything…in a salad, as part of a main dish or as a side in a main meal. He likes them in many combinations, but most of all, he likes them in soup.
