hi crystal! it’s been a few months since i’ve noticed, but when did you move away from the gluten free, dairy free menu? (i may have missed some posts. i get busy blocks 🙂 did you guys get other answers to some health issues?
Crystal says
Yes, after extensive allergy testing, we are so grateful to have gotten to the root of some of the issues here and to be seeing major, major progress. We are so thankful!
heather says

Amy @ Puppytufts says
We tried to incorporate meals that could be made into leftovers this week, working a lot of extra hours at work. It helps to have food prepared or be able to pull from the freezer.
Here’s our menu for the week:

Shanna says
Was wondering if you had tasted the oatmeal packets yet? Were they just as good? Wondering because my kids love oatmeal, I tried the slow cooker oatmeal and it was a huge flop. So I thought I would try this. Thanks in advance for the feedback. 🙂
Crystal says
I’ve not made that particular recipe yet, but I plan to blog about it when I do.
Busy Mom's Menu Plan says
Oh my I have totally seen that mug cake floating around on Pinterest but I am too scared to try it I’m afraid that one mug could turn into 4 or 5 mugs!! I am going to try to be somewhat “healthy” and stick to the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bread that is in our menu plan for the week :))

Looks like another great menu. I need to make the Quinoa salad again soon too. Love having meals in the freezer ready to bake.
pat says
I wanted to request some help. I have been put on a diet where I can only have 20 grams of carbs a day. I am at a loss for a menu and recipes. I would love to try to make homemade products but have to also keep it within my budget of $50/week for 3 people. Is this doable?–such a challenge! Thanks for all your help
The Prudent Homemaker says
Omlettes for any meal, salads for lunch with homemade dressings that are mostly vinegar and oil, or lemon juice,
Rosemary White Bean Soup would be a good lunch or dinner http://theprudenthomemaker.com/index.php/rosemary-white-bean-soup
Caprese salad is another one of our favorites

I just bought Quinoa last week at the store and forgot about it when I did this weeks menu. That recipe sounds great. That may make it in next week.
