I want to keep track mostly to help me remember, but I know it helps others to see menu plans sometimes. Since most menu-plans contain a ton of stuff we can't eat, I thought I would contribute our gluten/dairy/egg/peanut free (low soy) meals. That would NOT be this week, as we totally pigged out on all the gluten in the house this week. It was hiding everywhere and I wanted it gone.
So here is what we ate last week.
Christmas Day:
- breakfast - pancakes, sausage
- lunch - who knows. The kids wanted to get right to the present opening after Mass. I think there were some lunchmeat rollups, fruit, avacado, leftover soup? I personally ate cookies, lol. (and 1/2 florida avocado w/ salt and pepper, yum)
- dinner: balsamic vinegar/brown sugar pork roast (I used honey because didn't check the recipe, lol), baked potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, green beans
- snacks: way too many cookies, chips, etc. Like I said, it's Christmas and I'm trying to rid the house of gluten.
Monday:
- breakfast: leftover pancakes, sausage. Some kids skipped breakfast and had an early lunch.
- lunch: fruit (I splurged on raspberries/blackberries this week. SO expensive! Next year I'm planting a bush), crackers with sunbutter, lunchmeat on a pancake (YUCK but my dd made it for herself and her brother...they ate it)
- dinner: asian pork lettuce wraps (I used the leftover pork from Christmas instead of the chicken in the recipe)
- snacks: more cookies, more pringles, more candy. Ugh. Hoping this is over soon. I'm hoping to feel nasty enough that I actually ENJOY and feel GOOD about going gluten free.
Tuesday
- breakfast: cereal
- lunch: sandwiches, used up last of the bread, leftovers
- dinner: crock pot whole chicken, leftover baked potatoes/sweet potatoes, salad (really just lettuce, lol)
- snacks: potato chips, cookies, using up that wheat flour!, assorted fruit
Wednesday
- breakfast: gluten free cereal and milk/rice milk
- lunch: dh took me out! lunch buffet at local italian restaurant
- dinner: hot dogs, beans, cranberry sauce (dh and I weren't hungry) :)
- snacks: ??
Thursday
- breakfast: applesauce muffins
- lunch: applewood farms lunch meat, and stuff I can't remember :-p
- dinner: chicken soup with carrots, celery, and pasta stars
- snacks: blackberries, chips and salsa, chocolate milk
Friday
- breakfast - cereal
- lunch - bread, lunch meat, blackberries, avocado
- dinner - leftover soup (I usually make a ton)
- snacks - blackberries, tea crackers, tea, (I snuck oreos and goldfish!), "trail mix" (cheerios, chocolate chips, raisins, mini marshmallows)
Saturday
- breakfast - cereal
- lunch - leftover soup, lunch meat roll ups, strawberries, saltines
- dinner - Trader Joe's corn pasta (it was GOOD, very much like wheat pasta), ground beef mixed with tomato sauce to top it, steamed cauliflower as a side
- snacks - trail mix, hmmm, can't remember...I wasn't feeling too well and this week was kind of a free-for-all :)
I hope to have a nice GLUTEN FREE menu for you all next week. (Except for Sunday...still working on that "ridding the house" thing)
This is a good idea! I'm the same way about menu plans. Maybe if I can get everybody wellish again, I'll have time to post my "what we ate" list, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is good to see, although I know what we ate this week was so untypical, too. Traveling and Christmas visiting meant a lot of "to go" meals and eating out.
