    I started planning for the month. It’s been working nicely for us.

    • Jennifer May 02, 2012 at 07:18 am

      Thank you for posting your menu! I see lots of Gluten-Free options my kiddos will enjoy in your post :-)

      • Jada May 02, 2012 at 01:59 pm

        Oh, good! I think I “accidentally” have begun eating more gluten-free. A friend from church is on a GF diet and mentioned the same thing a while back. We do eat gluten, but it has become limited. I am hoping to begin making things with more nut flours and such, too. Saving up for a Vita-mix, too. Heard those were good for grinding flours.

  • Andrea May 01, 2012 at 08:00 pm

    Have you stopped eating gluten free, Crystal?

    • Melissa May 01, 2012 at 09:32 pm

      I was going to ask the same thing. :)

  • Sara@Save Money, Live Joyfully May 01, 2012 at 08:03 pm

    I love the new freezer cooking series. Thank you so much…very appropriate for right now. I’m switching the breakfast and dinner weeks though…I had already planned to freeze dinners this week, but for dinner week I will do breakfasts :)
    Here is our menu for the week…despite the non-subsiding cankles and sore feet that will be here until baby #2 arrives in 3 weeks, I managed to freeze three different meals. Yay!

    Really excited for your freezer session! I like how you’re dividing it–helps motivate me to follow along and do it! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. And now I want cinnamon rolls on my menu :) Here’s what’s on our menu this week: http://cozycakescottage.com/2012/04/30/our-menu-week-of-april-29-2012/

    http://www.savingmyselfsilly.com/2012/04/menu-plan-for-430-56.html See I was planning on eating from my freezer, and now you’ve got me filling it up HAHAHA. I love seeing your freezer cooking posts return, and I’ve been wanting to try that banana bread so I went ahead and made some…you know since I didn’t have dinner to cook. ;)

    I am so excited for the new freezer cooking series, it was already my plan for us to eat easy meals using what we had in the freezer this week but your new series gives me new motivation to make some room in the freezer for fun new recipes.

    Here’s what we are having this week:

  • Shelly May 01, 2012 at 08:56 pm

    I love the new freezer cooking series, thank you it’s motivating me to start trying! Do you happen to have a non bread machine recipe for the cinnamon rolls?

  • Shelly May 01, 2012 at 08:57 pm

    This week I am making salmon patties which I have not made for a while so they sounded really good. We are also having some herb rubbed steak one night and chicken fajitas another night.

  • Kimberlee@ThePeacefulMom.com May 01, 2012 at 09:20 pm

    Those cinnamon rolls look delish. I wish they were gluten free! :)

    We are heading out of town tomorrow, so our menu is a bit different than usual. But I was so excited to have our first garden meal for dinner tonight, boo choice pasta and salad from the garden. Here is the rest of our menu, http://delicious-nutritious.blogspot.com/2012/04/menu-monday-4302012.html?m=1.

    All gluten free!

  • Gencie May 01, 2012 at 10:33 pm

    One of my goals this week is to have dinner at home every night – we’ve been eating out too much.

    On the dinner menu this week: boxed chicken bake (we were running late for dinner, hubby’s request!), chicken pasta spinach bake, tacos, chicken pot pie, cowboy spaghetti.

  • Carolynn @ mylittlebitoflife.com May 02, 2012 at 06:53 am

    Here is the menu plan for the kids and my husband, mine is different per doctor’s recommendations! :(

    I would just like to THANK all you wonderful ladies for posting your Gluten-Free menus! This will make life SO much easier for me! For whatever reason, menu-planning is something I can never quite “get” right! Have a great rest of the week :-)

    On Pinterest I saw pb&j sushi rolls so I put it on my menu this week to make for my son. They were fun to make. I only made them for him since they took a little longer to make then just a pb&j sandwich but I think they would be perfect for a birthday party.
