Phew….last week was so busy! It was nice to just relax & lay low over the weekend. This week should be relaxing for the most part, too. We don’t typically go out on New Year’s Eve. Heck, I don’t know the last time I stayed up until midnight! LOL! The kids are still out of school this week & we only have 2 extracurricular activities going on, so dinners should be fairly straight forward.
The GF CF Cookbook is hosting this week’s gluten-free menu swap. The ingredient of the week is leftover ham. We don’t have anymore leftover ham, but we did and we used it in a varieties of ways. Grilled ham & cheese sandwiches, ham & cheese omelettes and salad with chopped up ham in it.
Sunday – Rotisserie Chicken, baked sweet potatoes, green beans & salad.
Monday – Tacos, black beans, corn & salad
Tuesday-Baked Ziti, zucchini & salad
Wednesday-Salmon, red quinoa, mixed veggies & salad
Thursday – Filet Mignon, baked potato, asparagus & salad
Friday – Pork & Sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, broccoli & salad
Saturday – Pizza or leftovers
Baked Goods
Pamela’s Bread
Banana Bread (have some bananas that need rescued STAT!)
Here are a couple pictures from our Christmas. Someone lost her 2nd front tooth on Christmas Eve! All she wants for Christmas is her 2 front teeth!
My sister, Kelly, Greg & Noah
Hope you all had a great holiday! Do you have any New Year’s Eve plans?

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.

*hifive* To another pork and sauerkraut eater on New Year’s Day!
Must have it to bring in good luck for the new year!
My oldest is now missing all of his front teeth (top and bottom). Makes for interesting GFCF meals for a while. For New Year’s we do cabbage and my husband does black eyed peas. For years we’ve been making a “mistake cabbage casserole” stew recipe from my mother-in-law. I just love discovering that I can still have tried and true recipes now that I’m GF along with my kids. Happy New Year!
I bet he is cute with all of those missing teeth!
Hope you have a great New Year! I love black eyed peas! YUM!
She’s so cute with the missing teeth, aww
Glad you had a great holiday!
Thanks Val!
