Thank you for sharing your GF recipes!!! We also deal with GF cooking. We eat alot of rice and chicken! Tonight we will have pork in the crockpot with brown rice and corn.
You are very welcome Mindy.
Love the menus. I have learned a ton from this page. I’ve instituted the no money days, and I’m now making a plan for my menu for the week. I do have a question. Are you able to freeze celery and those bagged apples and they come out not mushy or extremely wet? Since I plan on shopping one day, I need these things to last. Thanks so much!!
I have successfully frozen chopped celery to use in soup, but I have not thawed it out to use uncooked. I have never frozen apples, but maybe that is something you could google.
I freeze apples for smoothies and they freeze well.
Thanks for sharing! My menu is on my blog, here: http://www.servingjoyfully.com/2012/05/21/meal-plan-521/
