Baseball is officially over. We only have swimming & ice skating now. Seems like a breeze to me! LOL! This week I only have Regan (my little sister that I watch; she is 7)…Emma (the 2 year old I watch) is on vacation. I promised Jon, Hannah & Regan that we would do some “big” kid activities this week since we don’t have to worry about little Emma. They are super excited. On the agenda are multiple pool days, Magic Mountain Family Fun Center and maybe some bowling or a movie if the weather gets rainy or too cold. I see one tired Mom by the end of the week! LOL! Our evenings are pretty free this week, with the exception of ice skating. Mary, my mother-in-law, is taken care of this week for dinners, as her sister is in town staying with her.

Angela at Angela’s Kitchen is hosting the Gluten-Free Menu Swap this week. Angela chose cabbage at the ingredient of the week. I love cabbage in all shapes & form. Sauerkraut, fried cabbage, stuffed cabbage (especially my dear Grandma’s) & cole slaw. I have cole slaw on the menu for Wednesday to go with BBQ pulled pork. In the South, apparently they put cole slaw on their pulled pork sandwiches. I hadn’t ever seen anything like that until my sister, who lives in Atlanta, told me about this last year. I have since tried it and now love it!
Also, don’t forget to check out Orgjunkie for lots more menu ideas.
Oh, I have 2 new articles up on the Examiner, too! Support groups in Columbus and a Fundraiser for research for Celiac Disease. Thanks for peeking!

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
Wow, sounds like a fun week for you! I love it. Sounds like me, when we “only” have a few things planned. LOL!
Your menu is now linked. Thanks for joining in. The quinoa chickpea salad and raspberry-coconut bars sounds amazing!
Thanks Angela!

I thought you said no more baseball? Is it over now? Are they finished winning?
I thought it was over! LOL! Now it really is. They lost last night, finally! LOL! I am proud of his team. They came back & really did well; they had lost most games early on this season.
