As if things can't get worse for my family, my little DD came home from school with lice today! I spent about 3 hours going through her hair and cleaning the house! (and she has short hair now) Just to be safe, I am giving myself an olive oil treatment tonight!

I was supposed to be in school tonight so I prepared enchiladas so my DH could just throw them in the oven. But it worked out well because I threw them in the oven while I was cleaning to the house. God bless my hubby for doing loads of laundry today

I have school all day tomorrow and then we go to see the surgeon on Thursday. I thinking tomorrow will be a pizza night for my family. We got Red Barrons bogo and for free with our Walgreens rewards.

Well, I am trying to go gluten free for the next several weeks to see if it helps my digestive issues. My Celiac test was negative, but I wonder if I still have a gluten sensitivity. My GI said it would not hurt to try, and at this point I'm game for anything if it will help. Anyway, that will complicate the meal planning process a little, although not that much. I'm also omitting milk, although I'm still eating cheese and eggs.

Sunday (today): honey garlic chicken in the crock pot - over brown rice with cabbage on the side.

Monday: Spaghetti (with gluten free pasta for me) and salad

Tuesday: Sloppy joes with homemade sweet potato fries (bunless for me)

Wed: leftovers (church night)

Thurs: spinach and turkey bacon quiche (crustless) with fruit salad

Fri - Sun: DH out of town at a men's retreat, I'll forage around the house I bought a few potatoes too so I might work those in somewhere. I eat a lot of scrambled eggs and fruit when it's just me.

So far, the gluten free diet is going well. Not too hard to follow. And I think I have felt better this past week, although maybe it's all in my head.

This weeks menu -

Sunday (today): chicken tacos - made in the crock pot (chicken breasts with taco seasoning and salsa, sooo good)

Monday: Spinach, ground beef, and "noodle" casserole (gf noodles)

Tuesday: general tso's chicken in the crock pot with rice; creamed spinach or some kind of spinach on the side (I got a great deal on big bags of spinach!)

Wed: church - leftovers

Thursday: breakfast hash

Friday: out with friends

I also got a great deal on a lot of fruit at Aldi (I LOVE Aldi! ), so I'm going to make a big fruit salad to eat all week.

I am trying to make better meals for my family and I am not the best cook so this should be fun. I am trying use up some of the items we have on hand while have something healthy at same time.

Friday: Homemade sloppy joes and French Fries. The homemade sloppy joes turned out great and my family wants this version over manwhich from now on.

Saturday: Tilapia, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad

Sunday: Grilled pork chops, green beans, stuffing

Monday: This is 12 yr old son's "Gotcha Day" and he picked pizza

Tuesday: Chicken Marsala

Wednesday: Soup and sandwhiches - track meet night

Last night was Chinese takeout and movies.

Tonight is London broil with roasted potatoes, salad, and fruit.

We made fish tacos tonight. Tomorrow is crock pot lasagna. Tuesday is chicken tortilla soup in the crock pot. Wednesday we are consulting with an Oncologist for my oldest DD. We still don't know what's wrong with her. The ENT we saw wants a second opinion. (our third opinion) That's ok because the scar will be pretty bad for the biopsy.
In the mean time, we think she had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics she was on because she has been covered in hives since Wed. My poor kid can't catch a break!

So I tried the Dreamfields pasta and it DID NOT spike my sugar..

I am soo excited to add this back in (limited) to my diet!! I got angel hair and it tasted like Heaven!! OMG I didn't know how much I really missed it after almost 9 weeks without it.. haaa.. I plan to get a box of elbows next and make a Mac and Cheese.. oh and while it didn't affect my blood sugar I did gain a pound over night.. oh well .. the trade off I guess

Tonight was pizza with green beans. The kids protested the green beans. I think they're still sitting on their plates.

I made up the wontons this morning in preparation for tomorrow night's wonton soup and fried rice dinner. It was actually kinda fun.

Handling raw ground pork and the shrimp was pretty gross, but rolling the dough out to such paper thinness was pretty amusing. It made me think that making homemade pasta (tortellini and ravioli) might be on the horizon for dinner sometime soon.

I made a batch of 40 wontons so quite a few will repose in the freezer to await another meal (or two) in the future.

I would love your wonton recipe if your willing to share

Well, I haven't actually TASTED them yet...so I can't say for certain how good they are, but...

Wonton wrappers:

1 egg
1/3 cup water
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt

Beat egg and add water.

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and add wet ingredients. Mix well, adding water if necessary until pliable dough has formed.

Knead dough, Cut in half. Cover dough balls with damp towel and let rest for 10 mins.

Divide each ball into 4...keep covered with damp towel (excluding the one you're rolling) and roll into a 10.5 x 10.5 inch square. Cut into 9 pieces.

**I only managed to get each one rolled out thinly enough to get 40 wontons wrappers instead of the called-for 72.

Filling:

1/2 lb chopped shrimp
1/2 lb ground pork
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground pepper
pinch salt

**I didn't have oyster sauce so I used soya sauce instead. I omitted the onions (hate 'em) and used olive oil instead of the sesame oil. I also added garlic powder.

Combine all ingredients and spoon a heaping teaspoon onto center of wonton wrapper. Brush sides with water and fold to make a triangle. Seal edges tightly. Take side corners and pinch together at the bottom.

Freeze 30 mins on a cookie sheet, then transfer to freezer bag for longer storage.

Cook 4 mins in boiling water or broth.

Wonton Soup

4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
wontons
Soya sauce to taste
Whatever garnish you prefer (green onions, mushrooms, bok choy, etc)

Bring liquid to a boil. Add wontons, soya sauce and garnish(es), cooking over med high heat for 4 to 6 mins.

Awesome, thanks!! Any tips for rolling/filling the wontons? Roll them very thin you said?
