Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week gives you a different protein every night: ground chicken breast on Monday, pork loin chops on Tuesday, Italian sausage on Wednesday, ground chuck on Thursday and eggs on Friday, so nobody gets bored. One $4.99 bag of Publix Gold Potatoes covers both Tuesday and Wednesday, and the 2 for $6.00 broccoli is split between Tuesday and Friday. The GreenWise Organic Rice at 2 for $7.00 anchors Monday, Thursday and Friday, which keeps the plan gluten-free without any specialty products. Thursday's stuffed acorn squash is the longest cook at 70 minutes, so roast the squash on Wednesday to make it easy, and check the Italian sausage label for a gluten-free mark before it goes in your cart.
