Menu Plan Monday – March 11, 2013

March 11, 2013 by angelaskitchen 8 Comments

My menu plan is now sponsored by the great people over at Better Batter Flour.  The menus will also be published at Start Gluten Free, an online resource made to welcome people into the gluten free living community and help them not feel overwhelmed by new dietary restrictions.  I am thrilled to be a small part of this vibrant community!  Stop by and say “Hi!”

The first official sign of Spring arrived at our house this weekend.  It was time to tap the trees for sap!  Woo-hoo!  Last year’s season was pretty nonexistent with the lack of snow and the odd weather, so we are hoping for a better syrup season this year.  We tap the 3 Silver Maples in our yard, then boil the sap down in my turkey roaster.  It is a pretty fun project to do with the kids, and tasty too!  We also start Spring Break on Thursday.  Woo-hoo!  We’ll be spending it at home this year, hang out together and just generally relaxing.

I am hosting the Gluten Free Menu Swap this week.  Yay!  The week’s theme is pie.  Mmmm…   Do you know why I picked Pie as the theme?  It is because on March 14th we celebrate Pi Day in our house.  We are so geeky.  🙂  I have a bunch of pies at Angela’s Kitchen, such as Freezer Apple Pie, Lemon Meringue, Pumpkin Pie, and little Pecan Tassies.  Oh, and I have a great Gluten Free Dairy Free Pie Crust for you to try.  And don’t forget pizza pie!  What  is your favorite pie?

Freezer cooking plan for the week:   Pork and Apple Curry and Chicken and Broccoli Casserole are making their way to my freezer this week.  Both are warm comforting meals to have on hand for this season of slush while we wait for Spring to arrive.  🙂  Join me on Friday for Gluten Free-zer Friday for another gluten free freezer friendly menu.

*    *    *    *    *    *

The week’s breakfast options:  Pumpkin Granola, Cinnamon Raisin Baked French Casserole, and various fruits.

The week’s lunch options:  Nut butter or roasted chicken sandwiches on Naomi’s Favorite Wheat-Style Bread, Jamaican Meat Patties, hummus, and various fruits and veggie sticks.

Pork and Apple Curry

Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

Roasted Fish with Potatoes, Tomatoes & Olives

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black Bean & Veggie Pizza

Easy Turkey Meatballs & Sauce

 

Printable grocery list for this week’s dinner menu.

 

 

 

Monday:  orchestra (elementary)/mom works/mom volunteer at school library/track practice/dance lessons/boy scouts

Pork and Apple Curry with Gluten Free Naan (made dairy free) and a spinach salad

For the freezer:  Make a double batch of Pork and Apple Curry, one for dinner and one for the freezer.  Allow remainder to cool while eating dinner.  Package the second batch as meal by placing into a gallon sized freezer bag.  Remove as much air as possible, seal, label and freeze.

Tuesday:  jazz band/track practice/piano lessons

Chicken and Broccoli Casserole and mixed greens salad

For the freezer:   Make a double batch of Chicken and Broccoli Casserole.  Allow remainder to cool while eating dinner.  Package the second batch as meal by placing into a gallon sized freezer bag.  Remove as much air as possible, seal, label and freeze.

Wednesday:  orchestra (high school)/mom works/track practice/youth group

Roasted Fish with Potatoes, Tomatoes and Olives and steamed broccoli

Thursday:  no school/mom works

Happy Pi Day!  Black Bean and Veggie Pizza, mixed greens salad, Mini Chocolate Pies.  To make the mini pies, use Gluten Free Pie Crust cut into small crusts to line muffin tins and bake.  When crusts are cool fill with Dairy Free ChocolatePudding.  Mmmm!  As I’ll only be using one pie crust, and the recipe makes two crusts, I will be shaping the second crust into a disk, wrapping it well and freezing it to use on another day.

Friday:  no school

Easy Turkey Meatballs, romaine salad with Dairy Free Ranch Dressing, and Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies for dessert.

 

*   *   *   *   *   *   *

What is on everyone else’s plate?  (Monday is my big crazy busy day, so I’ll add all links I get for the gluten free menu swap before 8 a.m. Central time this morning before I leave.  The rest I will add after I get home.  Be sure to check the comments for menus that may not be added yet in the meantime!)

Melissa from Mom’s Plans is joining us with a gluten and diary free menu, several items she has stashed already in the freezer.  You KNOW how I love that!  This week she’ll be serving up Beef & tater meatballs with green beans, grass fed beef hot dogs with sausage biscuits & mixed veggies, beef & cabbage soup, hamburger soup with pasta and Quinoa chili.  Yum!

Heather at Celiac Family is making a quiche (it counts as a pie to me!) and maybe her family will be lucky and she’ll make Mint Chocolate Fudge Pie.  And she has several other pie links listed.  Mmmm….  For the week, Heather is cooking up Sandwiches with clementines and carrots, Mexican Pizza with a tossed green salad, baked ham with roasted potatoes and green beans, ham and spinach quiche (for Pi Day!) with Tropical Fruit Salad, Flank Steak,  Indian Chicken.  For St. Patrick’s Day they will be having a Brisket with Irish Potato Farls and Rainbow Fruit Kabobs.  Delicious!
Samantha of Awkward Girl Gets Fit is back this week with a delicious menu of Shredded Beef Tacos and Salads, Gluten, Grain and Garbage Free Chick-Fil-A Nuggets with Sweet Potato Fries and Kale and Carrots, Broccoli Beef (with a little orange juice and zest) and white rice or cauliflower rice, brined pork chops with whatever veggies need to be cooked (love it!) and a Birthday party.  Yay!
Kimberlee at The Peaceful Mom will be serving up Crockpot Ribs with baked beans and homemade coleslaw, baked potatoes with bacon and steamed broccoli, greek pasta salad with chicken (gluten free pasta) and garlic toast, BBQ chicken and rice with steamed green beans, Pasta (gluten free pasta) with meat sauce and a salad, chuck roast and rosemary roasted red potatoes with green beans and a leftover night.  Sounds like a tasty week!

Need more menu planning inspiration?  Head over  for Menu Plan Monday at Organized Junkie.  For an awesome month long gluten free money saving menu, see Melissa’s December GF menu plan at Stockpiling Moms.

    Chicken and Broccoli Casserole sounds good. I haven't made that in a long time. I think it's time I tried it dairy-free. And that Naan bread would be great with my Indian Chicken this week. Love the mini chocolate pies. I may have to add that to my menu this week, too! So many good things to eat. Here's my menu for this week: http://celiacfamily.com/gluten-free-pies-menu-plan-march-11/

    [...] By Heather ·  Print This Post You probably knew that St. Patrick’s Day was at the end of the week, but did you know that Thursday is Pi Day? Because of the date’s (3/14) significant number, it was chosen as a day to observe and celebrate math! Thus, the theme for this week’s Gluten-Free Menu Swap is Pies. You will find the menu roundup and, I suspect, some more gluten-free pie recipes at Angela’s Kitchen. [...]

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. 🙂
