Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week gives you five different gluten-free dinners built around Publix sales, from Monday's turkey and black bean stuffed potatoes to Friday's egg and vegetable fried rice bowls. Pete & Gerry's Eggs appear on exactly two nights, in Tuesday's chorizo and squash skillet and Friday's fried rice, and Publix Russet Potatoes cover both Monday's stuffed potatoes and Thursday's mash, so a few items work hard for you. Wednesday's pan-seared salmon with Brussels Sprouts is the quick night, while Thursday's slow-roasted pork picnic is worth seasoning on Wednesday evening so it is ready to go in the oven. Grab the Butterball Ground Turkey on the 2 for $8.00 deal and freeze the second pack, and check the labels on the black beans and chorizo to confirm they are gluten-free before they go in your cart.
