Wow!  I have been a traveling fool the past couple of weeks.  This past weekend my fab friends got together and spent a weekend at the Dells WITHOUT kids.  These women are awesome.  They inspire me every single day.  They are more than just my Bible study group, they are amazing friends brought together by God who I feel so honored to know.  I love you guys!  Plus, they sure know how to make me laugh!  Above, at the table:  Laurie, Libby, CariShawnAndreaSarah.  Standing:  meKimberly, and Shannon.  Yes, most of my friends you will recognize from my blog’s front page.  Almost all of us are blogging-mammas!

Each day this week I plan on posting something about the Gluten Free Culinary Summit I attended.  So, come on back and check it out.

This week my crock pot is going into overdrive.  I have 3 things to make in the slow cooker and I am also cooking up a big batch of beans to freeze (instead of using canned – cheaper and less salt, etc.).  Head over to Menu Plan Monday for lots of menu ideas.  And if you need just gluten free menus, check out the Gluten Free Menu Swap hosted this week by Living Free.
