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!

Potato Salad with Agave and Bacon Dressing — Gluten-Free
On a hot summer day, a scoop of tangy, creamy, crunchy potato salad makes a great gluten-free side dish. This versatile standby, dressed up with agave nectar and bacon, complements a barbecue sandwich or a hot fillet of fish or a grilled hot dog equally well. Better yet, it can be prepared earlier in the day, so the kitchen isn’t hot from cooking potatoes.
With a little care, potato salad can be gluten-free without any special substitutes.If you’re new to gluten-free cooking, remember to use mayonnaise that has not been contaminated by a gluten-y knife or spoon.

Crusty Whole-Grain Cornbread — Gluten-Free
Honey drizzled over warm cornbread…wonderful! Raspberry preserves spread over a another wedge…delicious! During a week of making extra-easy meals, I really enjoyed a simple pan of crusty cornbread. Some of it went with soup. I toasted another wedge in the oven to go with chili and beans. The last piece was pan-grilled to go with eggs for breakfast.

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.

Peanut Butter Cookies with Cashews
Some people think that gluten-free cooking always tastes bad, or at least that it’s always worse than “gluten-y” food. They would be wrong.
No one wants poor imitations of good food. Gluten-free living should have wonderful food that is also gluten-free. No reason it shouldn’t also be nutritious…full of fiber, vitamins and minerals just like everyone should have. Even cookies can have some healthy ingredients along with their sweetness: whole grains, high protein flours, nuts and eggs, for example.
To prove the concept that gluten-free cooking is attractive to more people than just celiacs, consider the simple Peanut Butter Cookie. Sweet, tender, rich and a little crunchy, it’s a favorite of many who have no intention of eating anything gluten-free.
