Weekly Menu Plan – July 25, 2010

Hey guys! Hope you all had a good week last week. Some fun things are coming up here in the next week – I will have a post up tomorrow with the details! We have been spending a lot of time indoors – it is just too hot. Things are supposed to cool down some this week. The kids go back to school in one month. I need to start gathering supplies, having them try their clothes on, etc. Fun times!

This week’s menu:

Sunday – Leftovers – I had a gluten-free convenience meal that I am reviewing several of – watch for the review, it was good!

Monday -Fajitas/tacos, refried beans & salad

Tuesday – BBQ chicken breast, volcano rice, green beans & salad

Wednesday- Burgers (veggie burgers), cheesy chili potatoes, zucchini & salad

Thursday-Roasted veggie (chicken) stir fry using a teriyaki sauce over rice, broccoli & salad

Friday – Pizza bagels (Udi’s – my fav) and salad

Saturday-leftovers or out

Baked Goods

Blueberry scones

bread

I made caprese turkey burgers

Don’t forget you can keep up with me on Twitter or Facebook, too! Have something in mind you would like to see here on Gluten-free is Life? Leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do!

Hi Kim,

Can you discuss using your receipts for gluten free foods at tax time? I had asked my tax consultant and she said you couldn't – but I have read in books you can use a percentage above what the same item would cost non gf. And is there a resource I can direct my consultant to. Thanks – I'm thinking ahead (:

Oooh fun stuff? Can't wait!

I used my free lettuce wraps at PF Changs coupon last week, and I tried the beef and broccoli which is fairly new to the GF menu. It was good-but Change's Spicy Chicken remains my all time fave!

Cindy,

That is a good question. I am going to do some research & get back with you. My mom is an accountant, so perhaps she can shed some light. I have never used my receipts.

Erin,

I haven't tried the B & B, but I used to love it before I went GF!
