Heather at Celiac Family will be hosting the Gluten Free Menu Swap this week. The theme is “Butternut Squash.” We really love all winter squash at my house, but butternut is our favorite. I even like using it instead of pumpkin in pumpkin pie and in Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter. Butternut squash makes for a lighter pie than pumpkin. Mmmmm….. I have a few more things to make with butternut squash, too, like Slow Cooker Squash, Chickpea & Lentil Stew, Slow Cooker Orange Chicken with Winter Squash and Sweet Potatoes, Squash and Kale Pizza and Apple Cranberry Squash. What is your favorite way to serve up butternut squash?
Freezer cooking plan for the week: Meatballs and Thai Chicken Thighs will both be making their way into my freezer this week.
The week’s breakfast options: Banana Pancakes or scrambled eggs with garden veggies and Apple Loaf.
The week’s lunch options: Turkey with tomato or almond butter with banana sandwiches made with Gluten Free Wholesome Multi-Seed Bread, veggies and fruit.
Printable grocery list for this week’s dinners.
Monday: Meatballs over gluten free noodles with spaghetti sauce (homemade or your favorite purchased gluten and dairy free brand) with mixed green salad
For the freezer: Make a double batch of Meatballs, one batch for dinner and one for the freezer. While eating dinner, allow second batch to cool. When cool, place meatballs into a gallon sized freezer bag, remove as much air as possible, seal, label and freeze.
Tuesday: Orange Chicken with Winter Squash
Wednesday: Squash and Kale Pizza with Simple Arugula Salad
Thursday: Pork and Apple Curry over Basic Brown Rice with steamed broccoli
