The time has come…..school starts this week!! WOOHOO!!! Not all of us in the house are doing the “Back-to-School Boogie”….Jon would prefer to keep right on going with his summer vacation. Sorry, Charlie! While I have enjoyed the summer with the kids, I am excited to get back into more of a routine. The school supplies have been purchased and the backpacks are packed. Now all we need is for Wednesday to get here! <\/p>\n
This week Asparagus Thin<\/a> is hosting the gluten-free menu swap. She chose grapes as her ingredient theme of the week. I love grapes! My new favorite grape is the champagne grape, which I have been using on my salads! YUM!! I talk about them here<\/a>. I plan on continuing to use them in my salads this week. I also have some seedless red grapes that I am probably going to freeze for fun snacks this week. <\/p>\n I have some news that really disappointed me today. I had written a while back that I was so excited that Meijer’s<\/a> Rotisserie Chicken was gluten-free…the original only had 4 0r 5 ingredients on the list, all clearly gluten-free. Well, today I went to buy our Sunday night chicken and went to check the ingredients like I always do and what do you know, they changed them!! Now there was a huge list for the “spices” and wheat flour was the 3rd one on the list!! WHY????<\/strong> What was wrong with the way it was?? If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!! I was trying to find a manager on duty, but decided it would be best to email after Aaron convinced me of it. So, that scrapped our dinner for tonight. I did buy a roasting chicken so I could make my own this week. Close in price, just more work for me. Oh well. I should be used to it by now. This just goes to show you why it is very important to check the labels on everything you buy & eat every single time. <\/strong><\/p>\n Sunday ~ Chicken Parmesan a la Aaron. \ud83d\ude42 Spaghetti, green beans & salad on the side<\/p>\n Monday ~ Kim meeting friend at Whole Foods; leftovers for the family<\/p>\n Tuesday ~ Filet mignon, broccoli, sweet potatoes & salad<\/p>\n Wednesday ~ Tacos or Mexican Pizza, beans & salad<\/p>\n Thursday ~ Apricot Glazed Pork Loin<\/a>, parmesan potatoes<\/a>, asparagus & salad<\/p>\n Friday ~ Breakfast for dinner (pancakes or omelets)<\/p>\n Saturday ~ Out<\/p>\n Baked Goods<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Haven’t gotten this far yet!
