I have to boast a little bit. Or maybe a lot. 🙂 My son earned the rank of Eagle Scout last week! I am one proud Mom. And, yes, he is a LOT taller than me, but he is will always be my baby. 🙂
Heather at Celiac Family will be hosting the Gluten Free Menu Swap this week. The theme is “Garlic.” Garlic is probably one of my favorite seasonings. I use it is almost every savory dish, and I always say “the more, the merrier” when it comes to garlic. For a big garlic pop try Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken (yep, it has FORTY cloves of garlic in it!), Pineapple-Garlic Pork Chops, Shrimp Pad Thai with Broccoli, Gluten Free Herbed Garlic Bread. How much garlic do you like to use?
Freezer cooking plan for the week: Slow Cooker Cassoulet and Crock Pot Fajitas will both be making their way into my freezer this week.
The week’s breakfast options: Carrot Cake Pancakes or scrambled eggs with garden veggies and Apple Loaf.
The week’s lunch options: Turkey and avocado or roast beef with tomato sandwiches made onGluten Free Pumpernickel Bread (I can’t wait to try this new bread recipe from Naomi. It looks amazing!), veggies and fruit.
