Well, I survived my camping trip this weekend, albeit a little worn and tattered (but that which does not kill you, right?).
Just as I had suspected, “Heidi” and “Camping” are two words that do not belong in the same sentence! Here are just a few words/phases that highlight my weekend: wolves, animal bones, dead snake, melted basketball shorts, BB’s, freezing cold, rain, injured child, sleep deprivation, injured mom, 3 am port-a-potty catastrophe and exploding rocks (fire can do that).
Yes, we all made it home alive (although I think Mike were wishing otherwise…I may have had a tiny meltdown). I, or rather, Mike, will share the details later.
Once they’ve had a chance to become funny. 😉
Monday: Chili Dogs (growing up, my mom never made chili dogs on a bun, instead, she served homemade chili con carne in a bowl with cut up hot dogs as the garnish…naturally gluten/grain-free!) and Fruit Salad
Tuesday: Grilled Chicken, Baked Sweet Potatoes and Tomato Slices
Wednesday: Homemade Hamburger Helper, Steamed Broccoli and Fresh Peaches
Thursday: Ham and Potato Soup (I will use coconut oil instead of butter, So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk and I will puree half of the mixture to use as the thickener instead of using flour) and Green Salad
Friday: Slowcooker Ribs n’ Kraut (I’ll use Bubbies Sauerkraut) and Homemade Sugar-Free Applesauce
Saturday: Everyday Paleo Cabbage Rolls and Fruit Salad
Sunday: Slowcooker Hearty Beef Stew

And welcome to my blog!
Whether you're here looking for advice on how to go gluten free (with delicious kid-approved recipes of course!), or to read some of the latest medical research on celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity...or even to read about one woman's rise from the depths of gluten-free despair to a place of downright enthusiasm, it makes no matter. The point is, you are here now so let's have some fun!
that sounds like a great menu!
Yay! You survived! The next trip will be easier. 😉 Good for you for trying something out of your comfort zone.
I'm wondering how long it wil take for the trip to be funny … that sure sounds like a lot of catastrophes, dahling! 😉 Glad you all survived!!!
Sounds like another great week of eating at the Kelly house! I know all your readers want to just show up and plop down at your table after you post your menu plan each week. I know I do!
xo,
Shirley
Thanks for letting us smile at your adventures (camping challenges)!
I just made the ham & potato soup tonight, it was great! Gave me great ideas for other *chowder* type soups. Thanks!
