Menu Plan Monday – April 22, 2013

April 22, 2013 by angelaskitchen 2 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!”

 

This week it looks like Spring will finally arrive in my area (after one more winter storm this evening).  Woo-hoo!  I cannot wait for warmer temps and for the garden to dry out so I can finally get some seeds in the ground.  What can I say?  I’m a crazy garden girl.  🙂

Heather from Celiac Family is hosting the Gluten Free Menu Swap this week.  The theme she picked is peas.  Sugar snap peas are one of our family’s favorite things to plan in the garden.  I always stick several seeds around the edge to grow up our garden fence.  Then, when the kids are playing outside, they help themselves to the peas.  Instant snack for the kids and saves the peas I am growing farther in the garden so that I actually have some to harvest.  How do you serve peas?  Please share your favorite recipe in the comments.

 

Freezer cooking plan for the week:  Slow Cooker Cassoulet and Tuna Noodle Casserole are making their way to my freezer this week.  Both are delicious comfort meals everyone in the family loves.

 

*    *    *    *    *    *

The week’s breakfast options:  Pea Pancakes (I found this idea on Mommy Hates Cooking.  Love it! I’ll use my pancake recipe and add the pea puree.) and Make Your Own Fruit on the Bottom Dairy Free Yogurt, scrambled eggs with asparagus, and various fruits.

The week’s lunch options:  Turkey & broccoli sprouts or almond butter on Noah Rolls, and various fruits and veggie sticks.

 

Printable grocery list for this week’s dinner menu.

 

 

Monday:  Orchestra (elementary)/mom works/mom volunteer in school library/Boy Scout meeting/track practice (girls)/track meet (boys)/dance lesson

Slow Cooker Cassoulet with Texas Roadhouse Clones and steamed asparagus

For the freezer:   Make a double batch of  Slow Cooker Cassoulet.  Serve one batch at dinner, allowing the rest to cool while eating.  After dinner, package in a gallon sized freezer bag, removing as much air as possible, label and freeze.

 

Tuesday:  Jazz band/Track meet (girls)/piano lessons

Gingered Beef & Broccoli Salad Bowl with Garlic Buns (done dairy free)

 

Wednesday:  Orchestra (high school)/mom works/Track practice/youth group

Tuna Noodle Casserole and mixed baby greens salad with Basic Vinaigrette

For the freezer:   Make a double batch of  Tuna Noodle Casserole.  Allow the second batch to cool while you eat dinner, then wrap (removing as much air as possible), label and freeze.

 

Thursday:  Jazz band/track practice/girl scout meeting

Steak and Potato Salad with Dairy Free Ranch Dressing

 

Friday:  Track meet (boy)

Restaurant Style Lo Mein with Shrimp (using purchased GF rice lo mein noodles) and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies for dessert.

    Love the gardening tips. And the pea pancakes! I don't have trouble getting my kids to eat their veggies, but it would be fun just to serve green pancakes... maybe with green eggs and ham too. :)

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. 🙂
