I was so busy prepping for our gluten free 4th of July party yesterday, I forgot to post my menu plan! Well, better later than never, I say! 😀 We had a wonderful time and nothing feels better than knowing all the food at the party is 100% gluten free…no risk for cross contamination and […]
Weekly Menu Plan – Week of June 27
posted on June 26, 2011 by
I am so happy that last week is finally over, I’m just not used to being THAT busy anymore! Typically, we are much more laid back with our schedule, I don’t put my boys in too many activities, simply because the commute can interfere with making dinner (not to mention all the snacks that are […]

Like my new menu plan badge? My very talented friend Alexa from Lexie’s Kitchen designed it for me (thanks Lexie)!

If you’re like my family and cannot have gluten, dairy, eggs or refined sugar then you know how challenging breakfast can be!

I know what you are probably thinking, “Raw sweet potato chips, Heidi? Did your oven break?” Notice I didn’t say raw sweet potato slices. Although, those are quite tasty too! Allergic to carrots? Cut raw sweet potatoes in the shape of carrot sticks and dunk in your favorite veggie dip, you just might be surprised. […]

I did pretty good following my first menu plan last week, I made almost everything I had planned on. The surprising thing to me was how much less money I spent on groceries having a plan to follow, I think I easily saved a couple hundred dollars! If saving that kind of money weren’t motivation […]
