Menu Plan Monday – September 19, 2011

September 19, 2011 by angelaskitchen Leave a Comment

It is the third week of the month, so that means I am posting my menu over at Once a Month Mom today.  My list for what I will be serving this week along with my planned lunches is over there.  Stop by and say “Hi!”

The host for the Gluten Free Menu Swap is Amanda from Gluten Free Detroit.
If you would like to host drop Cheryl a line at Gluten Free Goodness.  She would love to hear from you!

 

For more menu plans see Menu Plan Monday at OrgJunkie or my you can see all my past menu plans here.

Wow!  Two weeks into the school year already and all the after school activities are in full swing at my house.  With one child in high school, one in middle school, and one in elementary, that is enough activities to keep this mom hopping.  That is why, especially at this time of year, menu planning is so important to me.  On the weekends I check what is ahead on our calendar and pick meals for each day based on if it is a day to use the slow cooker, plan for a portable on-the-go dinner, or (of course!) pull a meal from the freezer for any given day.  A little planning ahead keeps meal time relaxing for me because I always know the answer to “What’s for dinner?”

Every week I join in with the Gluten Free Menu Swap.  It is a group of gluten free bloggers who link up our menu plans for the week.  There is always great inspiration to be found with this group!  The host for the swap this week is Amanda fromGluten Free Detroit. She has picked sweet potatoes or yams at the theme ingredient.  I plan on making some sweet potato waffles for the freezer this week (using my pumpkin wafflerecipe, but replacing the pumpkin with mashed roasted sweet potatoes) for the kids’ breakfasts.  It’s nice to have waffles on hand to toast on busy school mornings.  Sweet potatoes are also something my big kids like to find in their lunch topped with taco filling or curry, and they make an amazing pie.  I use sweet potatoes a lot in curries, in yeasted gluten free bread, and in muffins.   How do you fix sweet potatoes?

Menu Plan Monday

Both my big kids are on the cross country teams at their schools, so this week there are practices and meets to look forward to.  We also have piano lessons, a doctor’s appointment, a school meeting, and a behind the wheel driving lesson.  This week is homecoming at the high school, so I expect plenty of crazy “spirit week” clothing and activities all leading up to the big game and homecoming dance.  Whew!

Monday –

  • Lunch – GF Pumpkin bread sandwiches with almond butter, pea pods, and mango slices
  • Dinner – Secret Recipe Club meal (shhh… it’s a surprise!  I made it last week and froze it for dinner this week.  Yum!  You won’t believe who’s blog I got!)

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only. I do NOT give permission for any recipe, article, photo, etc. partially or in whole from angelaskitchen.com to be used for profit on another site, in published medium of any kind, or to be copied in part or whole. You MUST contact me for permission if you would like to use a recipe on a paid/membership website, in a restaurant, store, bakery, etc. for profit even with your adaption (this includes any “clubs”, membership sites, etc. that repackage other bloggers work for a fee, even if the original had been adapted or put into another form). THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🙂
