Giant Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Here's why these meals work for your week at Giant: every night is built around a different protein, so you get ham steak on Monday, pork tenderloin on Tuesday, rotisserie chicken on Wednesday, beef chuck roast on Thursday, and salmon on Friday, with no repeats to bore the table. The gluten-free approach stays simple because the plates are built from naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, squash, rice, broccoli, and sweet potatoes, though do check that the Success or Minute rice cups you grab for Wednesday are labeled gluten-free. Thursday's chuck roast takes the longest at 180 minutes, so braise it the day before or get it going by 3:00 pm, while Wednesday's rotisserie chicken bowls come together in about 20 minutes. One pack of lemons at $2.00 covers both the Monday green beans and the Friday salmon, and the $2.07 bag of russet potatoes and yellow onions stretches across Monday's mash and Thursday's braise.
