Menu Plan Monday 2/23/15
We’re in “eat what we’ve got” mode around here in an effort to use up the things we have stored in the freezer and the pantry! Consequently, this Menu Plan Monday may consist of some odd combinations! I expect us to stay in this mode for another week or so, so it’s likely to get even more bizarre. Oh well, I’ll be glad to be able to open the freezer without having things tumble out at me. Opening the freezer shouldn’t be hazardous. Plus, I hate when I discover things in the pantry that have expired before we’ve gotten to them. This is our effort to keep that from happening!…

Gluten Free Applesauce Bread
There’s just something about applesauce bread. It’s warm and comforting. It smells FANTASTIC while it’s baking. It’s wonderful plain, it’s delectable with butter, and I love it with peanut butter! It even makes a great sandwich for lunch with peanut butter and possibly a little bit of honey. Yum! Now that I’ve typed all this, I need to go and make some more. NOW. Gluten Free Applesauce Bread Ingredients 1 1/2 cups Gluten Free All Purpose Flour* 3/4 cup Rapadura or Sucanat (or 1/2 cup honey**) 1/2 teaspoon xantham gum 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 3/4 cup applesauce…

Menu Plan Monday 11/18/2013
I had a WONDERFUL time at the Ladies’ Retreat with our church this weekend! And, now that I’ve done two days worth of dishes, surveyed the house, declared it a disaster zone, and called off our regularly scheduled plans tomorrow to deal with it, it’s time to get this week on track with a Menu Plan! You’ll see that tomorrow’s breakfast plan is what I like to refer to as the “out of a box” variety. We don’t actually do cereal all that often. Sometimes, though, it’s just the fastest way to get people fed. A few months ago, I was trying to figure out a way to add flavor…

Great Grocery Deals! 11/10/13
Saturday evening I was working on my monthly order with Azure Standard. If you have a route in your area, and you like to purchase “whole food” or “real food” type items, you really should check them out. I think you have to create an account in order to see their prices, but they really do have great grocery deals. They brought a route to my area of the country early last year, and I’ve been so glad that they did! They’re opening up more routes all the time, so if there isn’t one near you, contact the company and tell them you’re interested. Maybe they’ll bring one your direction…

Menu Plan 10/7/2013
Time to start easing into the Fall food! Pumpkins and soups, coming up! It must be Fall, because around here, a lot of leaves got swept up and moved to the chickens’ area this weekend! The chickens are very happy to have some new playthings, but I think the kiddos are going to be vying for their own leaf pile to jump in on the next leaf-sweeping go-round! In the meantime, here’s the general game plan for feeding everyone this week: Monday Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal Black Bean Soup, Chips, Apples and Melons Roast Chicken, Roasted Asparagus and Carrots Tuesday GF Pancakes Pasta and Salads, Grapes and Apples Crock Pot Baked…

Granola Bars . . . or Super Swim Bars!
I love a good granola bar. The kind that is a little chewy and still a little crunchy. I like them to be sweet, but not so sweet that they have that “burn” that sometimes comes from too much sugar, or especially too much honey. This summer, we needed some snacks to take to swim meets (hence the alternate name, SUPER Swim Bars!, by which they will forever be known around our house), and I found a recipe for granola bars that I liked, but didn’t quite love. Now, with a few tweaks, I’m really happy with it and it’s been a hit with the whole family. Granola Bar Recipe…
