Cucumbers – Menu Plan June 17
Posted by: | Comments
The theme for this week’s Gluten-Free Menu Swap is Cucumbers. The roundup of other gluten-free meals will be included below as others link up their menus for the week.
I’ve been noticing “Cucumbers for Pickling” at the Famers’ Market this month. I’ve never made pickles myself, but would love to try making some Sweet Bread and Butter Pickles. I’m hoping to get the kids to help me with this quick and easy recipe at The Smitten Kitchen. If you’ve got a good recipe, send it my way.
Another cucumber delight I’ve been thinking about is Cucumber Sandwiches with a creamy garlic dill spread. I haven’t made them for years, but I’m thinking it is time. I’ll try to get a quick recipe for it posted this week.
Other ways we like to eat cucumber is fresh slices in salads (like my 7-layer Salad) and fresh cut spears in wraps. I also found a couple new cucumber salad recipes to try with our meals this week.
The Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup will be included below. Don’t forget to check it for more gluten-free menus and recipe links.

Food on the Fire – Menu Plan June 10
Posted by: | Comments
Wow, we are expecting some really hot days this week! And, after a long hot day at the rodeo this past weekend, I’m thinking that we need to keep hydrated with lots of salads and cool, refreshing produce this week. To serve with the fresh fruits and vegetables, I’ll be grilling up meat.
That will work great for this week’s Gluten-Free Menu Swap theme of “Food on the Fire.” Visit Angela’s Kitchen for the Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup this week.
And since we’re talking about grilling… I often grill indoors using my Lodge Cast Iron Grill on the stove top — not ideal for keeping the heat out of the kitchen on hot summer days. My husband does most of the outdoor grilling. Lately, I’ve been thinking that it’s finally time to retire our beat-up charcoal grill and replace it for Father’s Day. Has anyone tried an Infrared Gas Grill
Celiac Family’s Menu This Week:
Southwestern Chicken Salad
Marinated Flank Steak
Beef Kabobs
Monday — Grilled Chicken Breasts, Strawberry Spinach Salad with Honey Poppyseed Dressing
Tuesday – Chicken Tacos for some, Southwest Chicken Salad for others, Corn and Black Bean Salad
Wednesday – Flank Steak strips served over Spinach Salad, Corn on the Cob
Thursday – Shish Kabobs (chicken or beef, or maybe both), Watermelon
Friday – Easy night of Pancakes and Tropical Fruit Salad
Saturday – Hamburgers, Red Potato and Green Bean Salad, fresh peaches
Sunday – leftovers

Celery – Menu Plan June 3
Posted by: | Comments
Welcome to another week of sharing tasty gluten-free menus. This week’s roundup for the Gluten-Free Menu Swap will be posted below. The theme for the week is Celery.
It’s hard to believe, but this is my kids’ last week of school until August. To mark the occasion, the kids helped me create a week of easy, kid-friendly meals. We don’t have a lot of celery in this week’s menu, but I will be chopping some up to add to our tossed green salad and Potato Salad. I love that fresh crunchy flavor in salads. I also will be using celery seed in the sauce for our tilapia this week. How do you like to use celery? Added to soups and stir-fries, perhaps?
More recipes with celery: My Favorite Egg Salad, Red Beans and Rice, Gumbo, and Wild Rice Salad.
The Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup will be included below. Don’t forget to check it for more gluten-free menus and recipe links.
