I can’t wait to see your freezer cooking for this week! Because of you, I do freezer cooking at least once a week instead of a long day once a month or so. And I would never go back to doing freezer cooking marathons!
Here is what is cooking in my kitchen:

I’m happy to be hopping back on the menu planning train after several weeks off. I easily let myself forget how nice it is to have a plan in place. Here’s ours:

Most of our meals this week are ones I made in previous freezer cooking sessions, which is a big help!

Good deal on the tortillas!

Just curious, I have recently started limiting gluten in my diet and feel so much better. I love oatmeal and noticed you have it on your menu for the week. Is there a gluten free oatmeal? Or maybe all oatmeal is gluten free ?

Several years ago my mother-in-law told me she was eating sugar-free and I thought she was crazy. 🙂 At the time I wondered what she could possibly find to eat since I thought everything had sugar in it. After seeing your menus, I’m realizing it just might be possible. I’ve been pinning some of the sugar free recipes I find onto a “sugar-free diet” board so I can be prepared and remind myself that I will have plenty of good things to eat. 🙂

I have Celiac and don’t typically eat meals with gluten-free pasta or tortillas because I don’t care for the texture. BUT I did splurge and try GF tortillas in the egg bake recipe and it was GREAT 🙂 One more thing I have had success with is the Spaghetti Pizza recipe you use with the Ancient Quinoa Harvest spaghetti noodles (really the only gf pasta I enjoy). Good luck with the new eating plan. I’ve been GF for over a year and don’t miss it a bit. I have some fun pins at http://pinterest.com/nordakota/ if you are interested. The “Family Faves” Board is all “tried and true recipes we love” and the “GF Eats” one is all stuff I have on my “too try” list. Thanks for posting your menu plans –great inspiration for a lot of us!

I always get such good ideas from your weekly menus. Thanks for sharing!
This is ours for the week:

This is great. My wife and I have been working to get gluten-free since January, and for my birthday that month she made a vegan Lemon Cake with Buckwheat flour that was one of the tastiest cakes I’ve ever had. Even though it kinda imploded when we poured the homemade glaze on it.

I like to do freezer cooking a little each week and when I purchase meat in bulk. I recently made up 17 chicken packages for the freezer when I purchased chicken from Zaycon foods.
Here’s my menu plan for this week using a few of the chicken meat packages I made for the freezer,

I am trying 3 new recipes. The first one (beef & green chile enchiladas) was a big hit! The sweet & sour chicken is in the crockpot as I type 🙂

Would you ever consider doing a post about what made you want to try the Gluten-Free diet or what benefits you’ve noticed? I don’t know much at all about gluten and it’s negative effects.

Crystal, I am hoping you or some of your readers can help with a waffle making dilemma. I have been trying not to use regular cooking sprays and opt for healthier oils, but have had little success when coating the waffle iron. This past week I tried brushing coconut oil on the waffle iron and ended up with a stuck-on mess. Butter seems to work the best, but it’s far from perfect. Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

I hope this week makes your sugar free diet easier. When I gave up sugar I noticed after the first month I finally lost all my cravings for sugar. What was amazing was after the third month the smell of sugar became repulsive to me.
I’m excited for you on this journey!!
