Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan builds around five gluten-free dinners that each bring something different to your table. You'll start Monday with crispy roasted chicken leg quarters, potatoes, and onions, then move into Tuesday's beef and mushroom skillet served over rice. Wednesday keeps things quick with pan-seared pork loin chops alongside green beans and the rest of those gold potatoes, while Thursday lightens up with sauteed shrimp and tricolor peppers over rice. Friday closes things out with baked salmon fillets and a fresh romaine and tomato salad, a nice seafood finish chosen for its solid value that week at Publix. Each night uses a different sale-priced protein and cooking method, so you get real variety without any repeat proteins across the five days.
