Gluten Free Menu Plan: September 22-28, 2013

September is here. I am still in shock trying figure out where my summer went. It has been a productive summer and even though summer technically lives on we all know that the day after Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. Hopefully you get to enjoy one more low key day of sun and fun. I know I will as it won’t be soon before long…ok I can’t even finish that sentence.

This week’s menu plan is a diverse mix of last minute summer salads with a seafood dish and a zucchini meatloaf. Interesting uh? I’m still as busy as ever with my third book , newcookbook projects + promoting my current cookbook. Did you catch my review roundup? If not please do and while you’re at it purchase a copy since my $.99 cent special ends this week.

Happy End of Summer,
the gluten free chef
