This week’s gluten free menu plan is full of quick and easy gluten free meals.
I know I say that almost every week, but I really do love to share gluten free recipes that are quick, easy, and so you good that you won’t know that they are gluten free.
Be sure to read labels on ingredients to make sure that they are gluten free and be sure to use ingredients like gluten free oats.
These posts have been such a fun way to look back at the recipes I shared in 2016.
I don’t tend to jump on trends, but this trend from earlier this year has been so fun.
I think the trend has passed already. That happens in our modern world, where everything moves fast, but looking back at all the recipes I shared in 2016 has been so fun and interesting, I plan to keep sharing them.
Recipes I Shared March 2016
The homemade gluten-free Rice-a-Roni that I shared in March of 2016 has been one of the most popular gluten-free recipes on my site for ten years.
If you eat gluten free and have not tried it, you need to. It is so good! In fact, I think it is better than the famous box that many of us grew up eating.
This chocolate chip banana bread is another recipe that is still a favorite. I shared both the regular and the gluten free version of the banana bread. I really need to update the pictures on this one.
This chili cheese salad might sound a little strange, but it’s delicious. It is also a great, quick, and easy meal.
In March of 2016, I also shared twenty-one ways to use bacon grease. This was back when we raised hogs and had lots of bacon in the freezer. I found all kinds of ways to use bacon grease. If you are not saving your bacon grease, you are missing out.
A few simple ingredients are all you need for this quick and easy Ravioli Casserole.
We are going old-school and back to the 90s today, with both the recipe and the keeping-it-real photos.
I have been making this ravioli casserole for over twenty-five years. I can’t believe I have never shared it with you.
I recently had several packages of gluten-free ravioli that were fine, but not great. I decided to use the rest of them up by making this ravioli casserole.
I was sure I had shared the recipe on my site, but I searched and searched and could not find it. I really thought I shared it back when I did my cooking through my collection series.
I knew it was a recipe for Quick Cooking magazine, so I pulled my Quick Cooking cookbooks off my shelf and looked for it. It was in the 1999 edition of Quick Cooking.
Did anyone else love Taste of Home and Quick Cooking back in the 1990s and early 2000s?
Some of my favorite recipes came from Taste of Home and Quick Cooking magazines.
I am wondering if the reason I never shared this recipe on my site is that it is so hard to photograph.
A recipe with sauce, cottage cheese, and pasta may not be pretty, but it is delicious.
Let’s just say the pictures keep it real. This is exactly what this will look like when you serve it for dinner.

Notes
Gluten free ravioli works well for a gluten free version.
It is the time of year when I can’t decide whether to include soup and chili on the menu plan or more spring-like foods. I came up with a mix of both for the plan this week.
Here is this week’s menu plan.
