Tasty menu! I think I’ll need to make that rosemary chicken. Sounds delicious! I am planning on trying the valentine hard boiled egg hearts for Valentine’s Day from your VDay pintrest post. How cute! And my kids are making the heart bookmarks for their friends (my kiddos are origami fiends). Thanks for the ideas!
Thanks for participating in the Gluten Free Menu Swap! Have a wonderful week.
We have tried Gluten Free in the past as well as Wheat Free and other variations of these diets. My husband and daughter both benefit from keeping gluten, dairy, and sugars out of their diet.
Do you provide GF meals for the whole family (I.e. make each sandwich out of GF bread)? Or substitute GF when necessary?
It is necessary for us to stay within our grocery budget and I hate having to compramise my families health due to our current financial situation. I really appreciate your blog. It has been an inspiration and so encouraging to me as a mama. My only beef is that the US has much better prices on foods (and deals) than we do here in Atlantic Canada – but that’s not your fault. I’m still able to apply many, if not all, of your budgeting and meal planning strategies.
Hi Beckie! I generally make completely gluten free dinner meals with the exception of a few pasta meals here and there. For those dinners and every other meal, the non-gluten free family members eat regular pasta, bread, bagels, etc. and the gluten free child uses special gluten free food. I find that by basing meals around naturally gluten free foods, we can save money on specialty products and save them for meals 2 or 3 times a week. You can download a list of Naturally Gluten Free Foods here: http://thepeacefulmom.com/naturally-gluten-free-foods/. Hope that helps.
