    Gluten Free Meal Plan: Week 1

    Published: Nov 19, 2013 · Modified: Apr 15, 2021 by Jenn · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This Gluten Free Dairy Free Weekly Meal Plan will feed a family of 2 adults and 2 children for $100. No couponing required! You’ll also get to use your slow cooker several times to make things easier.

     

    During the moving process we’ve slipped into survival mode and have spend way too much time at the drive-through. It’s taken a toll on my pocketbook, waistline, and family time together. My goal is to eat gluten-free, dairy-free for a week with meals that come out of my own kitchen. No eating out!

    This menu is:
    Inexpensive
    Gluten and Dairy-free
    Filling
    Quick and easy

    It is NOT:
    Organic
    Low fat or low cal
    Gourmet

    Gluten Free Meal Plan: Week 1

    Monday
    Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings
    Asian Style Green Beans
    Mashed Cauliflower 

    Tuesday
    Chicken Nachos – Skip the cheese and sour cream for dairy-free. With the addition of black beans and cilantro, we didn’t miss it.
    Spanish Rice – I make this recipe in my rice cooker
    Refried Beans – heat up a can of refried beans in an iron skillet with coconut oil or lard for a restaurant-style taste

    Wednesday
    Ultimate Paleo Chili – I use only 1 lb of beef and substitute beans for the other pound for cost-effectiveness
    Cornbread

    Thursday
    Peanut Butter Chicken
    Black-eyed peas – cook from frozen according to package directions
    Roast Brussels and Beets – If you’re on a budget, skip the beets and roast a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts (99 cents at Kroger.) Thaw, slice in half, and roast in the oven or air fryer. 

    Friday
    Baked tilapia – Buy frozen fillets bagged in the freezer section at Walmart. Bake with salt and pepper according to package directions. Easy!
    Ranch Potatoes – Skip the rosemary and use Russet instead of Yukon Gold if you want to save $$
    Salad

    Saturday
    Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken – skip the cheese for dairy-free. Serve with tortilla chips or gluten-free corn tortillas
    Mexican Sweet Potato Skins – Omit the cheese for dairy-free, substitute coconut milk for cream cheese and sour cream until the texture is desirable

    Sunday
    Thai Chicken Curry
    Steamed Rice

    • All shopping was done at Walmart and Aldi reflecting Southeast pricing
    • Dinner servings were adjusted so that there were leftovers for everyone for lunch the next day
    • Breakfast on weekdays was oatmeal with pomegranates since pomegranates are 29 cents each at Aldi right now. Use whatever fruit is in season. Breakfast on weekends consisted of sausage and eggs.
