Valentine’s Day Limited Diet Menu Planner

chocolateheartcupcakes2Is you loved one on a limited diet?

Are you looking for the perfect gift to give to them on Valentine’s Day?

Many people like to spend a nice meal with their spouse or significant other on Valentine’s Day.

However, if you or your loved one is on a limited diet, this can be more complicated than making reservations at your favorite restaurant.

What if you were to surprise your loved one with a home cooked, romantic meal?

Maybe there is a menu that your significant other would love to eat at a restaurant but normally contains their food restrictions.

When I had the idea of making a Valentine’s Day Menu Planner, I thought of what kinds of meals that people on limited diets would love to eat – if only they could eat the ingredients!  I also considered food that is known for being “romantic…”

So, I put together a simple but delicious and allergen-friendly menu that I believe almost anyone could enjoy, even if their diet is very limited!

Here is the menu:  (Revised February 2013)

Breakfast:
French Toast and Berry Chia Smoothie

Entrees and Sides:
Chicken Pot Pie and Roasted Carrot Soup
Crab Cakes and Roasted Asparagus
Spice Rubbed Steaks and Greens Sauteed with Garlic, Raisins and Pine Nuts
Spinach Lasagna with White Sauce (nightshade-free) and Strawberry Avocado Salad
Lasagna with Brown Rice Noodles

Desserts:
Hazelnut Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting
Vanilla Raspberry Cake
Gluten-Free Devils Food Cake or Cupcakes

Supplemental Recipe:
Coconut Bread

All dishes are free of the following:

no wheat

no gluten

no dairy (if you can eat cheese, you can use it on the lasagna)

no soy

no refined sugar

no starchy vegetables

no corn

no peanuts

no legumes

no meat

no fish

no shellfish

There are options for the following:

All dishes are grain-free except the Brown Rice Noodle Lasagna

egg free

nut free

coconut free

This menu planner will work for people on GAPS, SCD or the Paleo diet.

What else the does the menu planner include?

  • An organized shopping list
  • ALL of the recipes above
  • Substitution ideas for main ingredients of dishes

So if you want to make a very special meal for that very special person in your life, who may be on a “special diet,” here is your chance to wow them!

And it doesn’t even have to be for Valentine’s Day.  You can use this menu for an anniversary, birthday or any other special occasion.

And it’s way more affordable than going out to dinner!  You may also have fun making the food and learning how simple it is to make allergen-free, delicious food!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How do I order my Valentine’s Day Menu Planner?

I want to make the planner affordable for anyone who would like to use it to create an allergen-free dinner!

So, for only $3.95, you can buy the menu planner and create a beautiful dinner for your loved one.
