Another Light Menu

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
