Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

Heading into Halloween week, things have been a bit crazy around here! Here's our simple menu plan for the week, including a freezer meal for Halloween night. Just pull out, defrost, and heat before eating. Couldn't be easier! Enjoy your week, and have a spooktacular Halloween.

Monday: Fish Tacos (tortillas, baked tilapia, avocado mayo, curtido) Curtido Recipe

Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

Hello everyone!  This week I tried out some new recipes, and I'm happy with the results.  Here's what we're eating for dinner this week.

Monday:  Turkey Scallopini with Basil Pesto and Sauteed Green Beans in Olive Oil & Garlic and Marinated Artichoke Hearts

 

Tuesday: Maple Glazed Salmon with Fava Bean, Red Potato & Mushroom Compote 







Wednesday: Polenta w/Tomato Sauce & Sauteed Mushrooms (The sauce is ready, the polenta I'll make same day.)

Thursday: Quinoa Vegetable Soup & Spanish Tortilla (Spanish Omelette) 

A tomatillo

 

Friday: Ground Beef Nachos with Goat Cheese Cheddar and Homemade Tomatillo Salsa 

The photo of the salsa doesn't do it justice.  I really need a better camera.  The mixture of the dark green of the jalapeño and bell peppers contrasts nicely with the lighter green of the tomatillos and the bright green cilantro stirred in at the end.  Definitely a recipe to keep.

Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

Today's menu plan is being posted late because I ended up spending the day canning peppers at my parents' house.  It's an easy procedure, but time consuming.  The up-side is that we will now have enough homemade roasted red peppers on hand for antipasto, salads and sauces for the next year.  Worth the work.

Unfortunately, that means that while I cooked a few of my meals in advance, I didn't cook them all, and I didn't take photos.  Sorry! 

Monday: Gluten Free Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs & a Romaine Lettuce Salad

Tuesday: Hearty Beef and Vegetable Soup with Gluten Free Garlic Bread

Wednesday: Quinoa Pilaf with Eggplant and Yellow & Green Zucchini & Beet and Goat Cheese Salad

Thursday: Pulled Pork Tacos with Salsa and Homemade Guacamole

Friday: Bacon & Eggs, Sauteed Swiss Chard with a side of Rice & Peas

Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

 

Monday: Gluten Free Penne in Tomato Sauce with Shredded Chicken & Spinach and Topped with Goat's Milk Mozarella  
(Our doctor suggested that we try giving our son some goat's milk cheese to see if he can tolerate it.  This is the first try.  Fingers crossed!)

 
 Tuesday:  Pulled Pork Simmered in a Tangy Sauce and Cabbage and Carrot Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw with Corn Bread for Mopping up Juices 

Wednesday: White Fish Stew with Olives and Capers Served Over Rice






Thursday: Homemade Chicken Broth with Shitake Mushrooms, Broccoli and Ginger

Friday: Stuffed Portabello Mushroom Caps with Zucchini, Walnuts and Onions on a Bed of Garden Grown Swiss Chard and a Side of Cucumber Sticks and Cherry Tomatoes with Hummus Dip

Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

I'll be on vacation from Wednesday, so instead of starting on Monday, I'm including what I ate this weekend, and then the plan for Monday and Tuesday.

Saturday: Whole Roast Chicken with Celery, Onions and Potatoes with  
Homemade Gravy & Sauteed Mushrooms

Potato Salad & my mom's homemade coleslaw

Vinaigrette & Vietnamese Style Spring Rolls







 I'll be visiting Pittsburgh PA, Washington DC, Dewey Beach and Wilmington Delaware, and New York State in the next little while.  I'll continue to post daily with my gluten free suggestions in each location, so be sure to check back often!

Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

This week's menu plan is a bit abbreviated for two reasons.  Wednesday is my 5 year wedding anniversary, so my husband and I are going out for dinner, and Friday we'll be finishing off the leftovers of the week before leaving on a week's vacation to a cottage.  Here's what's in store the rest of the week:

Monday: Lidia's Baked Lamb Shoulder and Dairy Free Spinach Risotto
(Lamb has never been a go-to item for me, but this recipe is spectacular) 

 Tuesday: Gluten FreeSpaghetti with Sun dried tomatoes, walnuts, 
spinach and feta cheese (for the adults).  The munchkin's version is
cheese-free






Wednesday:  Anniversary Dinner




Thursday: White Bean, Spinach and Mini Turkey Meatball Soup



Friday: Leftovers, Leftovers, Leftovers!

Although we'll be at the cottage next week, the cottage edition of the weekly menu plan will be posted on Sunday.  As we'll be cooking as we go, photos probably won't be included!

Weekly Gluten Free Menu Plan

Sorry about the late post, but we had guests this weekend so the cooking started later than usual.  This week I didn't have a chance to do a proper grocery shop, so the menu plan was designed to use up all those bits and pieces left in the cupboards and fridge.  The exception of course comes with the vegetables from our local harvest food box delivery.  The ragout recipe features Ontario mushrooms, yellow zucchini and white eggplant, and the salad ingredients are all local as well. 

  






Monday: Taco Spice Beef over Corn Tostadas and Fried Plantains

Tuesday: Gluten Free Pizza and a Garden Salad (I'll prepare this
on Tuesday.  I don't like GF pizza when it's been made too far in advance)  

Wednesday: Chicken & Rice Soup with Mushrooms and Leftover Garden Salad

  






Thursday: Mushroom Ragout over Steamed Rice

 




Friday: Chicken Fingers and Sweet Potato Fries

Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

Monday: Steaks marinated in Argentinean Chimichurri sauce & Vegetable Kebabs.  Chimichurri is a green sauce that I marinated the meat in for a few hours before grilling it.  I'll serve it with some more to dip. 

Tuesday: Chicken with black olives on a bed of bok choy.   I was going to serve it with a beet salad, but we had that for lunch.

Wednesday: Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Steamed Broccoli & 
Cauliflower and Jasmine Rice

Thursday: Creamy Tuna Vegetable Pasta Salad      

Friday: Chicken Tostadas made with shredded leftover olive  
chicken served with a Caesar Salad and Refried Beans

Gluten Free Weekly Menu Plan

First of all, Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dads out there!  I'll be posting a few photos of our Father's Day celebration tomorrow (including what was on the menu!) but today, I wanted to get the weekly menu plan up as usual.
