I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. I was happy to be done with snow and rain, for now, and instead be greeted with a warm, sunny morning.
Visit Angela’s Kitchen for the Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup this week. She chose Strawberries as the theme. And the timing of it is perfect for me. I’ve gotten out of my smoothie-for-breakfast routine, and I keep thinking I need to get back to it. I find it’s always a great way to start my day — delicious, hydrating, and energizing.
So…this week, I’ll be starting my days with Banana Berry Smoothies. I like to use half a frozen banana, strawberries, blueberries, a handful of spinach, and pineapple juice. Sometimes I also add some almond milk for protein.
Celiac Family’s Menu This Week:
7-Layer Salad w/ Dill Dressing
Berry Fruit Salad
Tropical Black Bean Salad
Monday — Eating Out, probably Red Robin. Have you tried their gluten-free buns? I usually go without a bun, but the rest of my family thinks the buns are great.
Tuesday – Grilled Steaks, Roasted Potatoes, Spinach Salad with Sliced Strawberries and Poppyseed Dressing
Wednesday – Bacon-wrapped Chicken, Seven-Layer Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing
Thursday – Grilled Hamburgers, Sweet Potato Fries, Berry Fruit Salad
Friday – Fish Tacos served with Red Cabbage slaw and Tropical Black Bean Salad
Saturday – My husband keeps requesting Chicken Vindaloo, but I can’t find the curry paste for it in the stores. So, instead I’m trying Chicken with Patak’s Jalfrezi Curry Simmer Sauce. I’ll serve it with rice and green beans.
Sunday – leftovers

Is it starting to feel like spring at your house? We’ve had some nice sunny spring days, but are still getting the occasional snow showers, too. Never mind the snow! The longer days of sunshine already have me thinking of fresh garden vegetables and salads. This week I’m making two salads with peas: Seven-Layer Salad and Wild Rice Salad. Fresh peas from the garden or farmer’s market would be nice, but this week I’ll be getting these peas out of the freezer.
Lots of activities at our house this week, so the meals will be quick and easy to make and eat. Check out the Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup below for more gluten-free menus, recipe links, and perhaps ideas for including peas in your meals.
Seven-Layer Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing
Pulled Pork Sandwiches — easy, slow-cooked recipe
Wild Rice Salad with Parmesan Dressing
Celiac Family’s Menu This Week:
Monday – Sandwiches or Hot Dogs, Seven-Layer Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing (I’ll make it with Coconut Yogurt to keep it dairy-free.)
Tuesday – Pulled Pork, Sweet Potato Fries, Steamed Green Beans
Wednesday – Bacon-wrapped Chicken Tenders, Wild Rice Salad with Parmesan Dressing (I’ll make it with a Vegan parmesan substitute.)
Thursday – Eating Out at Chick-fil-a
Friday – Hamburgers, Roasted Potatoes, Steamed Broccoli
Saturday – Celebrating my daughter’s birthday at P.F. Chang’s
Sunday – leftovers

The theme for this week’s Gluten-Free Menu Swap is Rhubarb. I am not a big fan of rhubarb, but that’s probably only because I don’t usually have it around to eat. I don’t have a garden, and I haven’t seen it in the grocery stores yet this year. I’ve enjoyed it when paired with other fruits in jams and pies (like blueberry and strawberry). Lately, I’ve been thinking about trying to make Rhubarb muffins. I was delighted to see that Angela has a recipe for Rhubarb Streusel Muffins on her site. I’m anxious to give them a try, so I’ll be scouring the produce department to see if the rhubarb is available yet. If not, I may have to wait until the Farmers’ Market opens in May. This week, you will find the gluten-free menu roundup and more rhubarb recipes at Angela’s Kitchen.
Celiac Family’s Menu This Week:
Tropical Fruit Salad
Cilantro Lime Rice
Easy Garlic Shrimp
Monday – Sandwiches, Tropical Fruit Salad with Poppyseed Dressing
Tuesday – Mexican Chicken Bowls with Cilantro Rice and Avocado Salsa
Wednesday – Grilled Steaks, Red Potato and Green Bean Salad
Thursday – Easy Garlic Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli
Friday – Pizza served with a Strawberry Spinach Salad
Saturday – Indian Chicken, Quinoa
Sunday – leftovers
