Food City Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan builds your five dinners around Food City's best gluten-free sale finds, so you get real variety without hunting down specialty ingredients. Pork shows up twice, first as a Monday pan-seared loin with roasted potatoes and onions, then as Thursday's skillet chops simmered with tomatoes on the vine and green bell peppers, letting you buy in bulk while enjoying two very different meals. Tuesday's grilled chicken breast with charred peppers and cucumber salad keeps things light midweek, Wednesday's ground chuck taco bowls bring a hearty, family-style dinner everyone can customize, and Friday's grilled top sirloin steak with asparagus grillers closes the week on a special-occasion note. Green bell peppers and sweet onions repeat across a couple of nights, so nothing in your cart goes to waste, and every dish sticks to simple, gluten-free ingredients you can prep quickly after work.
