Cheryl at Gluten Free Goodness is hosting the Gluten Free Menu Swap this week.  Besides eating them fresh or as prunes, one of my favorite ways to eat plums is in Slow Cooker Plum-Balsamic Chicken.  I have also made prunes wrapped in bacon as an appetizer and I adore plum sauce for dipping.  Yum!  What is your favorite way to eat plums?

 

Freezer cooking plan for the week:  Corn dogs and Slow Cooker Plum-Balsamic Chicken will both be making their way into my freezer this week.
