Grain 'n' Sugar Free Menu Plan -1

When I started our new Grain 'n' Sugar FREE lifestyle I made up a fortnight menu for our family. I spent quite a long time searching for replacement snacks and food items to ensure our family did not feel deprived.

Even though we are now 2 weeks into this now, with varying results, and variations in this menu. This is what we used as a base to start with. There is in fact more than we need for a fortnight but it allows for swap and change I think. I will be documenting what we did, what we changed and how each thing worked but for now, here is the start of our food journey.

For a Fortnight -
BREAKFAST~
Bacon and Eggs x4
Yogurt and fruit x4
Pancakes - recipe x2
Cinnamon Bun Muffins -recipe x2
Omelet x1
Caprese Omelet  x1

LUNCH~
Salad ( lettuce/ diff types, capsicum, tomato, cucumber celery, sultanas, beans, cauliflower, cabbage etc)
Cheese or eggs or tuna
Banana Bread   x 4 or another type of bread (wheat free)
Regular Grain Free Bread
Raisin Bread x 4
Honey Bread x 4
Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Salad x2

Maybe-
*From Erin :

Goulash (need a chicken stock with no wheat - home made chicken stock or this one, easier I think)
Bacon and Potato Bake
Rissoles and potato and  Tomato Sauce 
Jacket Potato's with bacon, sour cream, coleslaw cheese
Irish Stew  (gravy recipe)and from from Erin Discovered a tablespoon of chia seeds to 250ml of boiling water makes a lovely thickener for stews)with Yorkshire pudding (need to find a grain free Yorkshire pudding)
Burritos with Salad  grain free tortilla recipe with  sour cream and cheese
Pumpkin Soup with Grain free bread

SNACK or SWEETS ~

Chocolate Cake with Honeyed Ricotta 
Gluten Free Apricot Power Bars
Banana/ cherry Frozen Yogurt
Cinnamon Roasted Nuts (if time otherwise just some nuts)
Fig Bars with Ice cream OK the bottom half for a snack and with dates as an alternative
Lemon Curd
Banana Bread
Ginger Cake
Butter Cookies
Chocolate Cookies
Honey Cinnamon Ice cream so simple for Sunday treat
From Erin:

12 apples, diced (I core, cut in quarter and process a few apples at a time, into the food processor for half a minute)
Generous handful of almonds

New Goodies For Cape Cod Designs


Have been shopping up a storm.


All these (and more) will be available from Cape Cod Designs over the next few months.



As you know, photos are prohibited at these dos.
I risked my life for these.







This beauty is over at my Cape Cod Bloggy already.
Click HERE for details.

I have heaps more coming. Couldn't get everything photographed as my iPhone camera died. I fixed it via a "my iPhone screen is black" online forum last night. Phew. 

After my big shop up, I spent yesterday afternoon and evening with my buddy, Linda, from 'The Gong'.

We have been friends since the late 80's, ever since I moved into the nurses quarters in Murwillumbah Hospital, after taking my first job out of Uni as the sole Dietitan at Tweed Heads Hospital. Linda was at one end of the nurses quarters, I was at the other. Boy, we had fun. We both confessed to going back there over the years, to see if was still the same, to catch a glimpse of the verandah, where we had all our French nights....to remember the fun. 

Linda has called me 'Holly' for 24 years, as my room back then was rather floral (Holly Hobby). To Linda, and all her friends and family, I am 'Holly'. It was so nice to be 'Holly' again for one special night.

We hadn't seen each other in over 4 years so our reunion was rather loud outside Hall 1. We moved our noise to a gorgeous harbour-side restaurant and spent hours catching up, photographing each other, texting our friends with photos of us, sharing photos of our boys, friends and family, giggling, crying, philosophising. It was good for my soul. What would we do without real friends? Friends who are 'effortless' (stolen your word Loopy)... and loyal, who fiercely protect you, rally your cause and set you on the right course. Miss you in my daily life Linda. You give such great advice.

She'll be reading this saying, "enough, Holly"... and laughing at that very last sentence. 

I'm off home today, to my gorgeous boys, who have been texting me saying that they've been good and that they've been doing all their jobs. Bless.

Happy Tuesday!
