So I just read over at Celiac Family that the theme for this week's Gluten Free Menu Swap is CHOCOLATE.. uhh... I think I can handle that... how many ways can I add chocolate to this week's menu? :-P
Since chocolate is the menu theme, it gives me a perfect excuse to make a batch of Michael's favorite chocolate chip cookies. I might even make a batch of almond flour chocolate chip scones from The Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam. Hmm... what else could I do? I think I might make a quick 20 minute chili and add a little cocoa to the spices... cocoa and chili is such a crazy good combination!
This Week's Menu 5/20-5/26:
- Sunday -- Sandwich night using Udi's bread, we weren't too hungry after a large breakfast/lunch
- Monday -- Pan-grilled steaks with mushrooms and served over wilted spinach with cooked apples on the side
- Tuesday -- Barbecue chicken, quartered red potatoes, and green beans
- Wednesday -- Ground turkey & zucchini one pot meal
- Thursday -- Southwestern Salmon Burgers from "The Almond Flour Cookbook" pg. 53 by Elana Amsterdam w/ salad and/or sweet potato fries -OR- breakfast for dinner
- Friday -- Quick gluten free pizza & salad
- Saturday -- A quick 20 minute chili recipe with added cocoa powder... I'll share the recipe soon if it turns out well!

| Stella & Dot Anabel Necklace -- my exercise goal reward this month!! |
Exercise Plan 5/20 - 5/26:
The plan I'm doing this month is to walk 28 miles total using Leslie Sansone walking DVD's. They are more challenging than they sound! Trust me! I already have 19 miles total so far this month! SO my goal for this week is 8 miles throughout the week. At the end of the month if I meet my goal, I'm going to treat myself to a piece of Stella & Dot jewelry. My friend Clara is now an independent stylist with Stella & Dot and I hope I can slowly build up a collection of pretty accessories as I meet my workout goals!
GLG Disclosure:
The Stella & Dot links above go directly to an online trunk show hosted by myself and my Stella & Dot Independent Stylist -- Ms. Clara Ogren. If jewelry is purchased via those links I will receive a small credit towards a "trunk show" gift and Ms. Ogren will receive a small commission.
The opinions regarding Stella & Dot jewelry are my own and I did not receive compensation for this post.
