July Meal Plan

Hey, remember me? No? I'm not surprised.  Things have been a little crazy around here recently.  I often didn't have the opportunity to post and when I did have the opportunity, I didn't seem to have the inclination.  It's a good thing this is just a hobby and not a job or I'd have been booted a long time ago.

I think that a large part of the reason I've been absent is that since we eliminated wheat from our diet I've been a little bummed.  I love how much better I feel and do not miss the effects that wheat was having on my system, but it doesn't make a baker happy to find out that 95% (or more!) of their recipes are now off limits.  So...I moped.  And I got a bit cranky about all the meals that I've made previously who are just waiting to jump to the head of the line and appear here and now I don't want to post them because I'm in a tiff.

I'm sure that I will eventually post them, just like I will eventually post the new wheat free recipes I've been creating to replace them.  The problem with my replacement recipes is that they aren't fully tested and I don't feel right posting something I created off the top of my head until I'm certain that it works more than once, several times would be better.  As I work out the kinks I'll try to be better about posting the results, but until then things are going to be slim pickings.

As you will be able to see below, this month is pretty much ALL about grilling.  I have no desire to heat up my kitchen so we are taking it all outdoors to appreciate the summer. Also, you might notice that most of the sides are rather up in the air.  I am hoping to be able to fill in those blanks with various fresh veggies from my garden, but at the moment I have NO idea was they will be (and no promise that they will produce!)  Enjoy!
