Below is my Menu Plan for the 10 Day Gluten Free Dairy Free Challenge

I will be editing this to include my grocery list which I am still working on. Mainly because I don’t want to do all ten days of shopping at once and secondly because if I buy too much produce it might not last ten days! Thirdly, because I get so many vegetables from our CSA I don’t want to waste anything. So even though I have everything listed for buying my groceries, I need to separate the list by day. I’ll upload a printable PDF of that soon.

I have listed recipes from several different cookbooks. I realize that not everyone has all of these cookbooks. I first used these on loan from my local library, then after I realized I loved them, I purchased  them one by one as my budget allowed to add to my Cookbook Collection. If you don’t want to buy these books, just use a recipe from a cookbook you like! There are plenty of good recipes on the internet and I mentioned a couple of good websites in my first couple of posts.

If you are not following the Trim Healthy Mama Plan you might wonder what some of my abbreviations mean. They are: FP – Fuel Pull (low carb and low fat)  S – Satisfying (fat for fuel) E – Energizing (carbs for fuel)  CSA – Community Supported Agriculture

Or for Day ten or any other day substitute your favorite meals from Days 1-9, the meals and days are totally interchangeable. I do that often. Sometimes I’m just not in the mood for whatever I have planned for that particular day, so I will substitute something from another day. Just do what works for you if you follow my plan. Speaking of following my menu plan, you don’t have to. I just thought I would share what I’ll be eating for the next 10 days. I plan to make some YouTube videos to go with this, so if you haven’t already, you might like to subscribe to my channel by clicking HERE.
