 Tips for creating a menu plan - naturally gluten-free menu plan

Our plan changed a little last week because we are still dealing with some plumbing issues. I was originally planning on having friends come over for dinner tonight, but have postponed it until Thursday evening. So tonight we are having a Corned Beef and Cabbage cooked in a pressure cooker. I use a whole head of cabbage, but my family will polish it and the potatoes off, leaving me with leftover corned beef to use up.

Monday – Use the last of the corned beef in Corned Beef and Cabbage Casserole with a Mashed Potato Crust.

Tuesday – Garlic Chicken, Basmati Rice and Sauteed Broccoli.

Wednesday – Use leftover corned beef in Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup.

Thursday – Honey Glazed Ham , Mustard Gravy*, Twice Baked Potatoes, Glazed Carrots, and Peas with Green Onions and Basil. Carrot Cake* and ice-cream for dessert.

Friday – Linguine with Clam Sauce and a Garden Salad.

Saturday – We will be celebrating my youngest son’s birthday with Cheese Pizza made with gluten-free pizza dough and easy pizza sauce. Serve with a garden salad and fruit salad. Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake and ice-cream for dessert.

Sunday – Use leftover chicken, rice, and carrots to make Chicken and Rice Soup. Serve with a garden salad.

*Recipes to be shared later

If you need help getting started making a menu plan, you can read how I create menu plans, which includes mention of various methods I have used in the past. Another tool that is available to help is ZipList. I created a video, showing how I use ZipList to save recipes, make meal plans, and create shopping lists.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
