Start off with watching this video as I explain my approach to menu planning with real food.
Every week, our gluten-free, inching-towards-GAPS menu is shared with notes at the beginning of each plan, explaining the method to my madness, flops, successes, and little tips learned along the way. Each week lists three meals and two snacks a day, seven days a week, along with a to do list for each day. Take a look-see:
