Day Three hundred and forty

Dinner: Turkey meatloaf (this was an extra I'd made previously, and stuck in the freezer) with smashed potatoes and green beans.

Day Three hundred and thirty-nine

Dinner: Chicken with mushrooms and carrots (crockpot; Make it Fast Cook it Slow) over brown rice (with cauliflower puree ala Double Delicious), and fruit salad.

Day Three hundred and thirty-eight

Breakfast: Chocolate strawberry flax-seed crepes.  I was thrilled to take the crepe recipe I've been using (Sneaky Chef) and find it translated perfectly with the artisan gluten-free flour blend.

Dinner: Brown rice pasta marinara, sun-dried tomato chicken sausage, green beans, and fruit salad.

Lunch for tomorrow: Leftover pasta with chicken sausage mixed in, green beans, fruit salad, and fresh mozzarella cheese.  My daughter's lunch doesn't often consist of dinner leftovers, but when it does, boy is it easy to assemble!

Day Three hundred and thirty-seven

Breakfast for dinner: Scrambled spinach and cheese eggs, cucumbers with ranch dip, orange slices, and homemade home fries. 
I  think my husband made the home fries.  :)  I love dinners that are "naturally" gluten free.

Day Three hundred and thirty-six

Breakfast: Cinnamon apple oatmeal.  I'm so glad gluten-free oats exist.  I'm not sure what I'd do without them!

Dinner: Turkey bacon grilled cheese on gluten-free bread, and fruit salad.  I want to say there was a veggie with this meal-- I think we may have had baby carrots while the grilled cheeses were toasting.

Day Three hundred and thirty-five

Breakfast: Gluten-free pumpkin blueberry pancakes with scrambled eggs.  I made a double batch and froze half to serve as breakfast for during the week.

Dinner: Turkey hot dogs, gluten-free mac and cheese, and steamed veggies. Something crazy was going on in the afternoon, so I had to abandon my dinner plans and swap in this unexciting dinner instead.

Day Three hundred and thirty-four

Lunch: Deli turkey and cheese on gluten-free bread, cucumbers and spinach with ranch, and apple slices.

Three-bean turkey chili (with shredded zucchini and butternut squash puree) topped with shredded cheddar, sour cream, and avocado.  I made a triple batch of this- one was donated to a charity function a friend was running that evening, and another went into the freezer for future use.

Lunch for tomorrow: Turkey on gluten-free bread, fresh mozzarella, spinach with dip, grapes, and pirate's booty.

Day Three hundred and thirty-three

Breakfast: Spinach mango strawberry smoothies (recipe: Cooking Light).   We refer to these as "Martian smoothies"

Pizza (dough recipe: Gluten-free on a shoestring).

Dinner: Pizza, steamed broccoli, and grapes.

Chocolate chip cookies.  Trying out a new cookie recipe, this one is from Robin Ryberg, who has a bunch of neat GF cookbooks.

Sandwich bread.  Using the all-purpose flour blend I could not live without, this bread recipe makes our current go-to loaf.

Lunch for tomorrow: Turkey on above sandwich bread, apple, fresh mozzarella cheese, cucumbers, and a chocolate chip cookie.  Morning snack in the separate container- ants on a log (PB and raisins on celery).

Day Three hundred and thirty-two

Purees for the freezer: Cauliflower and Butternut squash.  I freeze them in 1/4 c. portions in muffins tins, and once they're frozen, I pop them out and store them in the freezer in big ziploc bags.  These will go into mac and cheese, tacos, pasta, etc.

Lunch for tomorrow: Hard-boiled eggs, mozzarella cheese, edamame crackers, spinach with dip, and fruit (not sure what kind is under that pink lid, but I know it's there).  ;)

Homemade vanilla yogurt (made ala the Frugal Girl's cooler method).

Day Three hundred and thirty-one

Lunch for tomorrow: Homemade yogurt with blueberries, gf pretzel sticks, cucumber with dip, and two mini PB cups.  My husband made this lunch, which is why I can't figure out how he arrived on these combinations.  ;)

Day Three hundred and thirty

We were headed to a dinner party and in charge of bringing desserts. These are both gluten-free, of course, but I share them with one caveat... I cannot recall my recipe sources.  I'm catching up on two month's worth of food photos (life got ahead of me!), and now my memory fails me.  I intend to scour my recipes and figure out where I got these two, and I'll update this post as soon I remember.  All I can say is that both were goood.

Apple tart (with cheese filling).



Brownie pie.

Lunch for tomorrow: PBJ on a brown rice wrap, cottage cheese, apple, and baby carrots.

Day Three hundred and twenty-nine

Lunch: Shredded zucchini, black beans, and cheese inside of brown rice wraps, with sour cream.

Dinner: Broccoli and cheese soup (crockpot; recipe: Make it Fast Cook it Slow).

Day Three hundred and twenty-eight

Breakfast: CREPES! I was delighted that I could use my regular recipe but substitute the artisan gluten-free flour blend, and they came out just as delicious.  We do a few variations of crepes, and these were filled with strawberries, a little chocolate sauce, and a sprinkle of flaxseeds.

Dinner: Traditional Stew (recipe: Make it Fast Cook it Slow).  I made a few changes to the recipe- I use chunks of chicken breast instead of beef, chicken broth instead of beef, and add potatoes.  This is always an easy and very comforting meal.

Day Three hundred and twenty-seven

Dinner: Chicken over rice (with cauliflower puree, ala Double Delicious), sliced peaches, and steamed baby carrots.  I can't remember what I'd done to this chicken-- either I made a sauce for it, and baked it in the oven, or it was in the crockpot.

School lunch for tomorrow: Baby spinach, hard-boiled eggs, a gluten-free blueberry muffin (from the stash in the freezer), apple slices, and her morning snack of yogurt with blueberries.

Day Three hundred and twenty-six

Lunch: Pizza muffins (with butternut squash mixed into the sauce) on gluten-free english muffins, baby spinach, and strawberries.

Dinner: Brown rice penne with chunks of chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach.

Tomorrow's school lunch: Leftover chicken from dinner, cheese with gluten-free crackers, baby spinach, and orange slices.
