I’ll make this short and sweet because I want to tell you all about my event on Saturday in my next post!
I’m still being vigilant about keeping gluten out of my diet so all of the following recipes are gluten free or can be easily adapted. If I list in the ingredients bread crumbs or flour, I am using a gluten-free version. You can find both in almost any grocery store these days. Usually gluten-free ingredients are in the organic/health food aisles.
MONDAY: Ina Burgers* on the grill (it’s going to be 75 degrees today!!), sauteed spinach (it’s now in season locally!!) and raw veggies (for the kids who aren’t so fond of spinach)

*I eat mine off the bun, of course. And yes, I still buy Martin’s potato rolls. Some things are just irreplaceable.
TUESDAY: Baked Salmon, brown rice and roasted broccoli

WEDNESDAY: pan fried pork chops with collard greens and herbed new potatoes

THURSDAY: Tequila Lime Chicken, quinoa, fresh veggie of some sort with guacamole and chips as a pre-dinner snack

FRIDAY: Chili (Unfortunately, Friday looks like it’s gonna be a chili kinda day. Will spring EVER stick?)

WEEKEND: Leftovers
I’ll be over on Thursday. You can expect me around six. I’ll bring the margaritas. 😉
SWEET!
Yes, will spring ever stick?? I love that way of saying it!
Looks like an awesome week, Jo-Lynne. I love how you post pictures of each meal. 🙂
you should go for this challenge – http://www.realwomenofphiladelphia.com/
Beginning April 4th Paula Deen and Philadelphia Cream Cheese ask women across the country to create short, entertaining and creative cooking videos in each of four categories—appetizer, side dish, entree and dessert—and submit them via http://www.realwomenofphiladelphia.com. At the end of the eight-week competition, four lucky finalists will be chosen in each of four categories by a distinguished panel of judges. These 16 finalists will have the opportunity to meet Paula Deen in person and compete in a cook-off at the 2nd Annual Real Women of Philadelphia Live Event on June 30 in Savannah, GA for the chance to be crowned the winner in their cooking category. The four winners will each receive a talent contract worth $25,000, star in their own cooking videos, contribute to a cookbook featuring the community’s favorite cream cheese recipes from the season, and host the Real Women of Philadelphia community.
I love your Menu Plan Mondays! I get so many great ideas! Thank you!
I’m always looking for a good guacamole recipe so I’m going to check this one out.
It is FABULOUS. To die for. Seriously. Not to mention nutritious!! 🙂
