The post 30-Minute Dinners Weeknight Meal Plan #1 appeared first on Gluten Free Homestead.

Today, I am delighted to share four steps to an easy gluten free meal plan because preparing three meals each day for your family can become tiresome. Add to the mix the issue of food intolerance and Mom quickly becomes overwhelmed.

Many years ago, I realized that if I wanted to serve my family with grace and a smile on my face, I would need to take control of the meal planning or it would take control of me.

Serving my family when they’ve been told “No, you can’t eat this and you can’t eat that.” is challenging. Often times they would be disappointed in their meals simply because they missed eating a particular forbidden favorite.

Indeed, that’s why I made a concerted effort to adapt their old favorites using gluten free ingredients.

With a little planning, you’ll be able to complete the bulk of your food shopping in one day, prepare each meal stress-free and relax and enjoy pleasant family time.

Step 1. List your meals

First I made a list of our favorite breakfasts and assigned each one to a day of the week.  

Just in case someone balked because “I don’t want to eat pancakes.”

I could respond, “That’s o.k. because every Monday we’ll have your favorite: frittata.”

When I first showed my list to my children, they were fascinated. They could look forward to a different scrumptious breakfast each day of the week.

I could prepare my shopping list to be sure that I had all the ingredients I would need for the week. Moreover, I wouldn’t have to be stressed in the morning trying to decide what to make for breakfast.

Monday: begin the week with a delicious frittata.

Gluten Free Broccoli Frittata

Take your breakfast or brunch to the next level. This delicious broccoli frittata is quick, easy to prepare, and delicious.

Tuesday: sausage wrapped in a pancake is easy to make.

Wednesday: french toast for the middle of the week.

Thursday: this frittata is a great way to use up leftover ham.

Friday: bacon and eggs! It’s easy when you cook your bacon in the oven.

Tuesday: sloppy joe tastes great in a sandwich or stuffed in peppers.

And for dinner, I have enough recipes for a whole month so we would not get bored. If plans changed, I’d simply move an already scheduled meal to a new date.

Step 2. Complete your grocery list

I keep a comprehensive shopping list. Checking off the items I’ll need against the week’s meal plan is a snap.

Certainly include wholesome snacks such as fruits, carrots, celery or try hummus that can be spread on gluten free crackers, gluten free power bars, gluten free pretzels, nuts and raisins or popcorn, or gluten free chips and salsa.  Additionally, I include ingredients for healthy smoothies.

If you’re low carb, choose recipes for your meal plan from this collection of low carb recipes.

Step 3. Go shopping

Get the bulk of your shopping done in one day. You’ll have all the ingredients you need for the week because there’s nothing more frustrating than missing one ingredient when you start to cook. Then if you’re feeling especially energetic, you’ll have everything you need for meals that you want to cook ahead.

Step 4. Start cooking

Cook up those meals without missing a beat. With your quick and easy gluten free meal plan: the answer to the question, “What’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?” is as easy as 1,2,3,4.

Meal Prepping

Now that you’ve got your meals all planned out and your shopping done, it’s time to dive into prepping!

When you’re chopping veggies, consider slicing up extra to use in meals later in the week. Pop them into airtight containers and store them in the fridge for easy access.

Another handy tip is to cook a bit more than you need for dinner so you can enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day. It saves time and ensures you have delicious meals ready to go throughout the week.

Don’t forget to batch cook grains like rice and proteins like chicken or beef to streamline your meal prep even further. Happy prepping!
