The ingredient of the week, cherries, was inspired by the Cherry Clafouti I made last week. I am not usually a cherry fan, but they were really good in that recipe. I am tempted to make it again this week! If not, I will be eating cherries as a naturally gluten free snack. The cherries have been wonderful, but they are anything but local! My sweet potatoes, however, are local Carolina Ruby. I am hoping to make it the Farmer’s Market this weekend to see what else made it through the drought this year.
I hope these menu ideas help those that are new to the gluten free diet.
My Gluten Free Menu
Monday: Gluten Free Waffle Night
Tuesday: Sesame Chicken with Jasmine Rice
Wednesday: Pork Tenderloin, Asparagus, and Sweet Potatoes
Thursday: Low Carb Hamburgers and Coleslaw
Friday: Almond-Crusted Chicken Breasts with Wilted Spinach-Orange Salad (from The Quick Recipe)
OTHER GLUTEN FREE MENUS:
Book of Yum: Sea has a beautiful zucchini salad on her gluten free menu plan this week. Her menu is both international and vegetarian. Go check out that pretty salad!
Asparagus Thin: Manda is making Cuban Black Beans with Plantains this week that sounds amazing. Her menu is mouth-watering!
Gluten Free Goodness: Cheryl is making a black bean brownie with cherries this week. She is also finishing off her almond rosewater cookies! She also has some delicious sounding entrees, so go check out her menu too!
Cooking and UnCooking: M-Elle has great ideas for getting through a gluten free week! I especially liked her idea of making a cherry fruit salad.

Natalie, sugarplum, I just have to say that I love your blog. I actually found it through Meg P and had no idea you had a blog, let alone a blog with such delicious recipes! I’m taking thoughtful notes for my recipe book so I can make some of these for me and my darling
AOT!

The sesame chicken and almond crusted chicken sound awesome. It’d be awesome if you would post the recipes!
Hi Natalie, I write a meal planning blog too. Although, I am not gluten free, most of my recipes are naturally. I use only real ingredients (nothing from a box or can).
