Two week Gluten-Free Trim Healthy Mama Menu
Ever feel overwhelmed with kitchen stuff? I'm one of those people who will stare at the fridge and wonder what to make for dinner…at 6 o'clock at night. Planning is key for me, or I don't get things done (including dinner). If I plan well, we eat well. This month has been nuts – with birthday parties, broken appliances, big changes in our family, and all kinds of craziness around here. So this is my simple, easy, 2-week THM menu. You can click this link to view a printable version, where the recipe links are also embedded.
I've talked about this before, but I want to reiterate how much time it saves me to repeat breakfasts, lunches, and snacks. I know that every Wednesday I have soup, and every Sunday I have cottage cheese and berries, etc. Keeping the breakfast, lunch, and snack menus simple and easy saves loads of time.
I also use Thursday as my cooking day (more about that here and here), so I'll cook up some brown rice, quinoa, and chicken to shred for the rest of the week. Sometimes I make a special dessert, and I usually make a bigger dinner so that we have leftovers. That frees up a lot of time the rest of the week.
If there's no recipe link included, it's usually a pretty simple meal idea that you can make to your family's tastes with your own favorite ingredients. Or you can scour Pinterest for a great recipe. Either way, hopefully this will give you some ideas! **Note – not all rolled oats are gluten-free. Please check your packaging on EVERY ingredient to make sure that your products are gluten-free before you buy. Bob's Red Mill and Trader Joe's both carry rolled oats safe for Celiacs.
