What a whirlwind the last week has been! Phew! I am glad it is over. I will be even happier when we are back to our normal routine and some of this craziness is gone. Yes, it was wonderful to see our family and spend time with them, but everything seems so chaotic. It will be nice to return to the somewhat predictable schedules that we keep. During the last week we had so many fabulous meals & treats. It all seemed so smooth, too. The meals were all prepared gluten-free or mostly gluten-free to avoid cross contamination. Neither Jon or I got sick, so that is a plus. \ud83d\ude09 We also enjoyed lunch out one day at Red Robin. We had a hard time with the service, mostly just being slow and not following through, but Jon and I felt great after eating there. It was really busy, so that may have been part of the issue.<\/p>\n
So, this week is still not back to normal, but we don’t have any real big plans. I doubt that I will even make it until midnight on New Year’s Eve. \ud83d\ude09 I am getting old, you know.<\/p>\n
Sunday ~ Burgers with sauteed mushrooms & pepperjack cheese, sweet potato fries, steamed broccoli and salad<\/p>\n
Monday ~ Homemade Cheese Pizza (I may add spinach to mine and pepperoni to the kids) and salad<\/p>\n
Tuesday ~ Salmon with garlic dill seasoning, quinoa, roasted brussel sprouts & salad<\/p>\n
Wednesday ~ Turkey Tacos or Turkey Taco Salads, mexican rice & refried beans<\/p>\n
Thursday ~ Pork & sauerkraut, mashed poatoes & veggies<\/p>\n
Friday ~ Leftover medley\/Breakfast for dinner<\/p>\n
Saturday ~ Spaghetti & meat sauce, steamed veggies, foccacia bread (Chebe Mix) & salad<\/p>\n
Baked Goods for the Week<\/strong> I will probably have to make bread, though.<\/p>\n Oooh….I almost forgot. My sister got me the most amazing cookbook for Christmas. She got me Carol Fenster’s new cookbook, 1000 Gluten-Free Recipes<\/a>. WOW!! This cookbook is amazing! Not only are there tons of baked goods, but the meals…..I am in heaven!<\/p>\n Another wonderful cooking gift….hubby got me a huge griddle for cooking pancakes, bacon & such. This thing is so big that I can cook a pound of bacon on it at one time! OMG! It is amazing! So much easier than standing over a pan going through rounds of 6 or 7 strips at a time.<\/p>\n Don’t foget to pop over to Cooking & UNcooking<\/a>, M-Elle is hosting this week’s GF menu swap. And, as always, Orgjunkie<\/a> has tons of menu plans up.<\/p>\n Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\nI think I am taking a break on the baked goods this week. We have tons of fudge, cookies & cake leftover and I am thinking that my husband will kill me if I make anything else. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
