Whoo, I have been busy lately. I always make a meal plan, but lately, I don’t always take the time to post it. In any case, here’s this week’s, starting with this past Saturday. As always, it’s gluten-free, dairy-(casein-)free, soy-free, and egg-free. (It’s funny that it’s become such a habit for me at this point to avoid these foods that I have to stop and think, Now which ones don’t I eat again?)

sounds fun and yummy. I must say, I’m intrigued. Why salted chocolate? I love chocolate, but have never thought to pair it with salt (well, unless you count salty peanuts, etc.) Sounds like a good excuse to indulge later. have a wonderful week!

Cheryl, I think chocolate is always better with a contrast, whether the contrast is of texture or taste. (Some of my favorites are oranges, raspberries with seeds, toasted nuts, and dried apricots.) The crispy salt bits (added in moderation, of course) are a wonderful foil for chocolate.
Thanks, Kristen. 🙂

I hope you consider posting the egg free millet buns. White water rafting! I am jealous! I got to go once in WVa and it was a blast, such a rush – have fun!

Sometimes I think this is a busy time of year just for me. When I get a chance to talk with my firends, I find out they’ve been slammed as well. And I thought they were all having lots of fun without me!
Sounds like a good menu! I don’t post mine because it would be very boring. I’m sticking to really safe foods, but I try to attempt one new dish a week.
Have a great time rafting!
