Hello all!  I hope everyone is doing well and ready to tackle our menus for another week.  There are so many great recipes out there that I do have trouble narrowing down which ones to try :)

Thanks again to Erin at $5 Dinners for doing such a magnificent job hosting last week so I could take a break.   We had a wonderful trip with such awesome results.  For those that might have missed our good news my son had no reaction to eggs and wheat on his skin testing!  We now just have to wait on the blood test results before we get our hopes up too high.  Still as you can imagine it is impossible not to get a little excited about the possibilities :)

Last week’s menu highlight definitely goes to the Chicken, Basil and Spinach Quesadillas.  Yummy!!  What was your favorite recipe last week?

Here is what we’ll be eating this week:

Monday: Fajitas

Tuesday: Coconut Chicken served with sweet potato wedges and frozen veggies

Wednesday: Teriyaki Tenderloin served with rice and broccoli

Thursday: Pasta Meatball Soup

Friday: Leftover buffet

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner ~ Whole Wheat Waffles with Blueberry Syrup

Simple Supper Sunday

WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU?

did you modify the quesadillas in any way to not have pesto made with nuts? If so, I’d love to know how … I’m interested in that recipe too :)

YAY for your allergy results! (I’ll pray for the blood work to confirm what the skin test said!)

Thanks for the waffle linky love! Hope you enjoy them and THAT YOUR SON CAN EAT THEM!!

The whole wheat waffles and blueberry syrup sound awesome! The kids are on spring break, so I think I’ll treat us all to that one morning this week.

Hi, I just found your blog and have decided to do the weekly menu plan. I was able to add one of the banners to my blog but I can’t figure out how to make the link back here clickable. Can anyone explain how to do that?

I was thinking quesadillas for next week. That chicken, spinach and basil recipe sounds like a winner to me. Stop by for my giveaway: Carol Fenster’s Gluten-Free Quick & Easy.

I love quesadillas, too. This week I’m doing all crockpot, though, so that I can use the afternoon to exercise (don’t I sound insane?). It really does help writing out one’s men early, so thanks, Laura, for inspiring us all!

Congrats on the allergy testing! My sister’s son is allergic to nuts, shellfish, and something else I can’t remember at the moment but she was so excited when he outgrew his allergy to eggs. He still isn’t a big cake eater though (ice cream is a different matter) and he still either checks stuff or brings them to her to check. She has since found out that she’s allergic to onions, potatoes (raw) and celery in addition to a few other things. I am lucky in that I’m just sensitive to eggs and milk (I was able to help her during the egg allergy time) but we’ve been talking about how the things we’ve tested positive for are all things we found ourselves avoiding naturally for the most part anyway. I found I didn’t feel good when I have too much milk or eggs, but it does make cooking for others a lot easier when everything can be the same.

Your coconut chicken sounds delicious — I may have to put it on next week’s menu here!

LOL! Your supper on Saturday reminds me – last night I dreamed about waffles, (with cream cheese between them instead of butter) with blueberry compote on top. Think that’d be good? :)

Everything looks yummy as usual!

Whoo hoo! I got it up before the end of Monday… only a day later than intended lol. Oh well, at least I got all the kinks worked out w/ my blog.

Your menu looks good btw… except it always makes me sad to see coconut anything. I love the way it tastes, but I’m very allergic :-(

Those basil, spinach, pesto quesadillas do look great! I’m making pesto this week, so I’ll have to make enough for that recipe too!
