What’s on the agenda for the week? Well, this week I am going to attempt to avoid wheat (gluten). I think the only chance to make this successful is to PLAN.  For breakfast we are going with protein and fruit, ie bacon or turkey sausage and a piece of fresh fruit (ruby red grapefruit is my fav). Lunch will consist of roll ups veggies and fruit. and now for dinner.

Sunday~ Cuban pulled pork, Mango Salsa and black beans

Monday~ Perfect Roasted Chicken, peas & salad

Tuesday~ Honey Lime Chicken Enchalidas

( Pintrest inspired;using leftover chix)

Wednesday~Freezer Cooking ( chili, veg soup, something)

Thursday~ Leftover Buffet for boys (Mama’s Craft night)

What’s your family eating?
