Gluten free menu plan: April 27-May 3 2014

Insanity doesn’t even begin to sum up our last two weeks or so I won’t even begin to try. What I will say is that opening our market(and bakery)  has been one of the most thrilling, challenging, and emotional experiences that I have had thus far in my life. Despite the upward hurdles I would not trade any of it for the world. Despite the sheer exhaustion and the feelings of failure that often arise I consider myself truly blessed and happy in more ways than one.

I’m also happy to get back to our regularly scheduled program of blogging and meal plans  since this space right here is where it all began. A fact that I won’t soon forget. This weeks menu plan is simple yet diverse enough to have something for everyone. A few awesome salads are featured as well as a super easy crock pot chicken recipe that works for any occasion. Live well. Be well. Eat Well.
