Menu Plan Monday

January 3, 2010

Happy New Year!  As part of my New Year’s resolution I have decided to go on a sugar and gluten (s & g) free diet.  So my menu plans will be slightly different as I am going through this.  Surprisingly it’s not all that hard to eliminate sugar and gluten.  Gluten’s not to be confused with a carb free diet.  Gluten consists of only wheat and wheat based flours.  Sugar is harder, because I love Sugar!  But I am playing around with sugar substitutes (like agave and honey) and even have a few s & g free recipes planned for the week.

Mostly though I am just choosing foods that are naturally s & g free.  For instance tonight we had pork chops, baked cabbage and a fruit salad.

So in review of last weeks menu we had (before sugar and gluten free)

Granola Bars

Sloppy Joes and Corn Fritters
