Since no one came up with ideas for me on light food that kids will eat. I suppose I have to do my homework. Here’s some options that I came up with for this week on the lighter, oven-free, side of things.

And each week, you can find more recipes at OrgJunkie’s MPM carnival**NOTE: they are NOT all gluten-free menus/recipes.

Sandwiches

This is a bit tricky without yummy bread. If anyone really has a sandwich-ready gluten free loaf recipe, I’m ALL ears! Of course, I’m using my breadmaker ONLY in this weather!

On rice cakes, we use:

1. melted cheese
2. lettuce & tuna salad
3. egg salad
4. cream cheese & jam

On rice wraps, we use:

1. cheese & ham & lettuce
2. tuna salad, lettuce, pickles
3. peanut butter & jam
4. mozza cheese, pizza sauce, sliced ham, pineapples (in the microwave)

However, my kids like neither the rice cakes or rice wraps. Some days it is tough, but we usually abide by:

Mommy picks what you eat, and when you eat.
Child picks if they eat, and how much they eat.

At least, that is the philosophy.

For Salads we try:

1. potato salad
2. deviled eggs
3. macaroni salad
4. apple salad
5. berry salad
6. Daddy’s Salad
