The theme for this week’s Gluten-Free Menu Swap is Wine. I believe this is the first time Wine has been the theme of the GF Menu Swap. It was my husband’s suggestion, and his timing seemed just right. Last Wednesday would have been Julia Child’s 100th birthday [2] (Aug. 15). There were lots of food websites and bloggers posting recipes last week for her birthday. True to her preferred style of French cooking, many of the recipes she made on her cooking show included wine. I’ve included on this week’s menu, a recipe for Sautéed Beefsteak with Sauce DeGlace [3] that was posted on her birthday. I may even make Julia’s “Reverse Martini” for my husband, though I’m not really the bartender at my house so he may have to make them. …On second thought, maybe we’ll just finish the bottle of wine we use for the deglazing sauce. 
I also found a cool website (Food and Wine Pairing [4]) for helping you choose the perfect type of wine to serve with your meal. Or the perfect meal to cook for a particular wine you love. Great resource!
Check out the roundup below to see who else may be sharing gluten-free menus this week. Next week’s theme will be lunch box solutions. Since we’ve already started school, I’m getting a jump start on it this week. I’ve included ideas for breakfast, lunch, and snacks for Monday through Friday.

Gluten Free Menu Swap Roundup
Angela at Angela’s Kitchen [16] is also thinking about Julia Child today. I love the quote from Julia Child she included: “I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food I’m cooking.” Angela put up a link for a wine substitution list [17] that you may find helpful. Her menu [16] is full of links to delicious recipes: Baked Eggplant Zucchini Spaghetti [18], Taco Chili [19], Spicy Sweet Glazed Chicken [20], ABC Slaw [21], Coconut Lime Tilapia, etc.
Paige at Not Missing a Thing! [22] is still enjoying the summer. Her family is having fun with backyard campouts complete with Roasted Hot Dogs and S’mores. Also on their menu this week [22] is Tacos, Mini-Meatloves [23], Summertime Chicken Salad [24], Chicken Waikiki, and Honey Mustard Chicken Salad [25].
Join us next week at Angela’s Kitchen [26] for Lunch Box Solutions.
