Kroger Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan stretches a handful of Kroger sale buys across several dinners, so one shopping trip gives you plenty of variety. The $9.99 pack of chicken breasts covers both Tuesday's skillet salsa chicken and Thursday's spaghetti squash boats, and the $5.00 bag of russet potatoes shows up Monday under the roast pork tenderloin and again Wednesday beneath the garlic butter shrimp. The 4 ct bag of avocados is shared between Tuesday and Wednesday, and the two packages of Sargento Cheese go to Thursday's squash boats and Friday's frittata. Every dinner is built to be gluten-free, so just check the Pace salsa label at the shelf before it goes in your cart.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Russet Potatoes
