Menu Plan June 25th

Menu Planning: Picnic/Camping

(1st basil pesto of the season above!)

So clearly I haven’t gotten into the swing of menu planning again, but I’m still trying when possible.  AND, stay tuned for the 2^nd Annual July Self-Care Retreat!  The 1^st July retreat was great fun, and the December Sanity Challenge was, too.  I’m hoping we’ll have lots of company this time around, too and will post more later this week.

I was delighted to FINALLY meet Heather of Celiac Family (Menu Swap Coordinator!)right before her move to Colorado!  Neither of us thought to get pictures, but I will have to snap the mint plants she gave me.

Our hostess this week is Angela of Angela’s kitchen, and our theme is camping food or picnics.  I find that on trips without refrigeration, chickpea crackers are among my best friends, and I’m overdue for a batch.

I posted a new recipe for Cashew Cookies (gf, paleo friendly, vegan), and will hopefully get a chance to catch up on more recipes soon.

Monday:

White beans and sautéed mache?  I will have to see what inspires
