Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week's plan builds around gluten-free Publix sale items that stretch across the whole week without repeating the same dinner twice. Broccoli does double duty, showing up Monday alongside baked chicken leg quarters and roasted squash, then again Thursday with grilled Perdue chicken breasts and sauteed spinach. Brussels sprouts also earn their keep, roasting next to Tuesday's ground chuck and potato skillet before returning Friday to round out the baked salmon and jasmine rice dinner. Wednesday brings a slow-roasted pork Boston butt with potato wedges and caramelized onions, a great make-ahead option if your week is busy midweek. Grab the russet potatoes and Brussels sprouts in their multi-use packaging since you'll be splitting them across two nights each, and you'll have a well-rounded, produce-forward lineup by Friday.
