Wheat Free

Have any of you a child that gets tummyaches a lot? I do. He has celiac disease, or the inability to breakdown wheat in his body. So I am getting the book entitled Hungry Monkey by Burton to read. This is a book about a Dad's quest to make food interesting to his celiac impared child. Then I see there is a blog site for the celiac inclined called http://glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com. This is a geat site to get gluten free recipes, tips and stories for the gluten impaired. Check it out !

Weekly Specials for May 20 -27

Before I start with the sale items this week I wanted to remind you to try generic brands or house brands instead of the name brand products to save money. Often an Albertsons or Von's ,etc. brand item is packaged at the same place as the name brand item. So the product is the same. Only the packaging is different. Some generics are great, some not so much. But the one you do like will save you money. Try a new generic today!

With Memorial day coming up there will be lots of sales on assorted meat. If you have room in your freezer now is the time to stock up.

Ever heard of the color code of bread tags? In most , but not all places, bread is delivered 5 days a week. So there are 5 different colors of twist tags to tell you when the bread was baked.
Monday blue
Tuesday green
Thursday Red
Friday white
Saturday yellow.
The colors are alphabetical in case you can't remember.

Also if there is a date stamped on the plastic tag, that is it date to be taken off the shelf, not it baked date. Just a thought to help you choose the fresher bread on the shelf!

But what to do with the day old and older bread in your home? Don't throw it away! Save it in the freezer for stuffing chicken or turkey. Put it in your blender and grind it up for bread crumbs. Or cut it up for your own croutons, brush with a little olive oil and your fave spice and viola! Croutons! Bread pudding and french toast are also good ways to use old bread. Just google day old bread recipes and see what you get!

I have shopped at day old bread stores off and on all my married life. I have never gotten moldy bread or bad tasting bread. And the snacks are a great price for school lunches. Often they have cereal, bread sticks, etc. But because of the fungus that can grow invisibly in panckake mix and Bisquik, I would not buy that at the day old store. I have the recipe to make that in large batches for yourself! Let me know if you want that recipe.
