Tonight ... I am making an Aldi's GF cornbread mix that I am putting into the muffin tins stuffed with some fried up turkey hot dog pieces.

Next week, I was looking on Pinterest for some Bento boxes of Mediterranean food items just to have some grab and go fun things for veggies options.

Make-ahead lunches filled with creative meat-free mains and lots of fresh produce.

I have been trying a lot of pre-made food from Costco that is gluten free. Some will be put on the menu in the future. Made the mistake to browse 'Costco Gluten Free Finds' group on FB. They post photos of what they found, where in the store (frozen, Refrig or shelf) and give it a review. We did find a wonderful GF pizza that has a crispy crust. We have had it twice this week. Hard to find a good pre-made pizza that is GF.

So far we liked:
BFree Pita Bread (S)
Sabatasso's Four Cheese Pizza (F)
Hook Line and Savor Everything Crusted Cod (F)
Canyon Bakehouse Multigrain Bread (S)
Forest Farms Crispy Wings (F)

Tomorrow we try Vietnamese Pho (S) which is like a large Ramen noodle bowl.

Still have not found GF Cheese Tortelloni (R) which everyone who tries it seems to love. It also runs out fast so must be something restaurants are buying too.

What you have had that was GF and tasted great?

If you ever get into the Chicagoland area, there is a great Italian deli/imports grocery in the far south suburbs, just a couple of miles north of I-80/Harlem Ave. They have a wonderful selection of pastas, sauces, etc., and make wonderful sub sandwiches that will easily feel 3-4, and lots of pre-made entrees. They also carry a wide variety of GF pasta. I don't know if they ship or not (they do cater), but it might be worth investigating if you're in the area. Unfortunately, they don't have any online order option. But, here's the link to their GF products page. https://www.rubinositalianimports.com/glutenfree.html

DahliaDoll- What is Joe's Special??

Annie

From Joe’s Special (Scrambled Eggs with Spinach, Beef, and Mushrooms) (simplyrecipes.com):
"This is a classic San Francisco diner dish dating back to the 1920s. It's a hearty scramble of eggs, ground beef, spinach, mushrooms, and onions."

Quick and easy, too. You can Google different recipes.

I need to work on getting back on the menu train. DH has been very helpful lately in having something started when I get home from work, but I need to do better with having things thawed and ready to cook when I get home or for him to start. This will end soon because yard mowing season will start. He will be mowing after he gets off from teaching school.

Monday - Spaghetti and Meat Sauce, Salad
Tuesday - Vegetable Beef Soup, Cornbread
Wednesday - Leftovers, Garlic Cheese Biscuits
Thursday - Fried Fish, Baked Potatoes, Salad
Friday - TBD (sometimes there's catered food leftover from lunch at work that CW and I split and bring home - large quantities at times or enough to repurpose into a meal - will see how the week goes before planning all week)
Saturday - Ladies' honorary supper at church
Sunday - Eat Out
