Food City Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Since you're shopping Food City's sale items for a gluten-free week, every dinner is built around naturally gluten-free staples like pork, chicken, potatoes, squash, beans and eggs. Pork anchors Monday's bone-in chops and Thursday's baby back ribs, and the 10 lb bag of Russet Potatoes at $4.99 covers both Monday's roasted wedges and Wednesday's loaded baked potatoes. Tuesday's chicken breast ($5.98 for 2 lbs) roasts on one sheet pan with butternut squash at $2.97, and Friday's frittata uses up the tomatoes, cheese and sour cream left from Wednesday. When you're in the dairy aisle, pick a Food Club Sliced Cheese variety labeled gluten-free.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Bone-In Pork Chops with Roasted Russet Potato Wedges and Green Beans
Description: Bone-in pork chops are seared in a skillet with paprika and garlic, then finished in the oven alongside crisp roasted potato wedges. Buttery Libby's Green Beans round out a classic, naturally gluten-free plate.

Tuesday
Meal: Sheet-Pan Chicken Breast with Roasted Butternut Squash

Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 lb Boneless Chicken Breast cut into 1.5 inch pieces. Use 3 lb whole butternut squash from Acorn, Butternut or Spaghetti Squash, peeled, seeded and cubed.

Use half of the Food Club Sliced Cheese pack, 1 lb Tomatoes on the Vine diced, and about 1 cup of the Food Club Sour Cream.
