Our First "Free" Menu

This is my first stab at a gluten free, dairy free, soy free, sugar free, sweetner free menu plan. It took forever, but here it is. I tried to include a fruit based, honey sweetened dessert. For this week we are focusing on losing the bread, gluten, everything cracker related. If it seems like alot of food, I am trying to have things like hot dogs for the kids, while having them try out the foods from the direction we are moving towards.
