GAPS Meals Simplified

Tonight I prepared a quick dinner and I thought about how this GAPS thing is so simple for me these days. Once upon a time, spaghetti, rice-a-roni and white flour tortillas were the norm in our home, and it was really difficult for me to think of what to cook for dinner that was GAPS legal. (Thus, the reason I created the Meal Plans! Once I figured it out, I wanted to simplify it for YOU! :)). But if you’re not subscribed to my Meal Plans (or even if you are & you still want help), this list may help you plan what to eat every day, at every meal. Use these keywords to do some Google searches & build your recipe collection. Use Pinterest to gather photos of the recipes you find. Or, use Plan to Eat to gather your recipes and create menus. After a while, you’ll have lots of recipes, lots of experience, and this GAPS thing will be easy for you, too! 🙂

    You sweet woman! I have not made the plunge yet into GAPS for my family- but am planning on doing so this summer. This is list is EXACTLY what i needed! I regularly check your blog out and have learned so much from your posts. Praying the Lord would refresh you today as you have been so generous to refresh me with your pearls of wisdom. Warmly, Amy

    THANK YOU! I desperately need to do the GAPS but can’t figure out how to implement it for me without putting the entire family on it. This list will help me so much–all I need to do is add food for them that I won’t eat.

    I didn’t realize cheese is allowed on the diet – are you using raw cheese? What about the lactose and casein? I love cheese so it’d be fantastic if I don’t have to give it up!
