Well, now I KNOW the fall season is here. My daughter has started off this week reminding us that it’s cold and flu season, too. Her sinus congestion has escalated into vomiting. Uggh. I do have a menu plan, but I’m not sure how well we’ll be following it. If my son and I are next to succumb to the cold season, it will be a week of bland, boring food for all of us.

Cheryl at Gluten Free Goodness ^[2] is hosting this week’s Gluten Free Menu Swap. ^[2] And, again, true to the season, pumpkin is the theme. I’m planning on pumpkin waffles for dinner this week, as well as my kids’ favorite chocolate pumpkin muffins.

And there’s more news for the GF Menu Swap! After three years of managing it, Cheryl is ready to devote her time to other endeavors. Big thanks to Cheryl for her efforts to keep the menu swap going. I know that many people new to the gluten-free diet find the variety of menus helpful to starting and maintaining a gluten-free diet. I have always enjoyed participating in the menu swap, and I’m excited to tell you that I have offered to manage it here at Celiac Family. I’ll get the details worked out soon, and let you know where to find the upcoming schedule. So, be watching for more information to come.
