Menu Plan Giveaway and Menu

First, the fun stuff! I had a Menu Plan Giveaway and the winner is *drumroll please* Heather of Celiac Family! Yay yummy stuff.

And onward to menu planning. I’m delighted to host, especially since I’ve been so busy so this forces me to plan, which is always so helpful. This week’s ingredient is Sunbutter AKA sunflower seed butter, or, if you’re one of those ‘weird’ people who can eat PB, that works, too. (for the record–I’m totally joking…I would LOVE to eat PB again, but alas no) I love sunbutter, particularly the sugar free one, because it’s such a yummy and versatile ingredient. In cookies, on apples, in ‘pb’ sauces…I love it across the board.  I’ll be posting Chocolate Sunbutter cookies later this week to celebrate our ingredient, and look forward to seeing how all of you use it, too!

What a lovely week here…my daffodils are popping up, and Spring is flirting with us. It’s delightful to see.

I have not been able to bake much lately, but hope to get back more in the kitchen this week. And I’m having a class on Healthy GF eating on Saturday, so if you’re in the Alexandria area, sign up! We’ll be making quinoa and millet, and having Nana Skillet Bread, too.

And, of course, as always, looking for Menu Swap hosts.  Email me cheryl (at) eharrishome (dot) com

And everyone else?

Heather of Celiac Family is totally ready for summer, and has salads on the lineup.  She’s been doing Chicken Tikka Masala regularly, and I’m going to have to try it soon.

Scrumptious of In my (CSA) box has, as usual, a lovely vegan lineup, including one my my very favorite things: cabbage with cumin seeds.  Make some extra and I’ll have to pop on by!

About Cheryl Harris

Life played a funny trick on me. I've studied nutrition for years, and much to my surprise, found out that I could manage many of my health issues via diet. I've been GF for years, and I've got a bunch of allergies and sensitivities. But it definitely doesn't keep me from cooking, baking and enjoying my food. Thanks for stopping by.

    I won? Yay! Thank you!
    And thanks for hosting the menu swap this week. I keep looking at the sunbutter at the store, but haven’t purchased it yet. We are one of the “weird” families that eat peanut butter. But, it would be nice for my daughter to take it to her peanut-free preschool.

    I’m a 71 yr old single female that has celiac for about one year now. I have troulbe thinking of what foods i can make myself since buying everything is so very very expensive. Any ideas?

  6. Ricki says:

    Congrats to the winner! Every time I read your menu plan (or anyone’s) I think, “I should really plan meals ahead.” And then, I forget about it. . . but I think it WOULD make life a lot easier!

  7. Heather, congrats! I’m jealous of your PB

    Scrumptious, thanks a bunch! I’ve been ignoring my kaffir lime plant all winter so it’s time it gets some lovin’

    Ricki–it SO helps, and you’re welcome to join us anytime.
