Hi Reader,

My kids are officially back in school, so I thought this would be the perfect time to bring back the highly requested Weekly Menu email!

Each week I'll send an email with 5 gluten free dinner recipes to plan and prep ahead of time to avoid the dreaded 4pm question: what am I going to make for dinner tonight? Feel free to mix and match the recipes to the day they'll work best for you.

Without further ado, here is your FREE Weekly Meal Plan for next week:

Let's Break it Down

Mon: Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches

Slow cook all day then shred and serve on buns, or go bunless for a low-carb option, which is what I usually do. Serve with side salads.

Tues: Pasta Fresca

Use high-protein pasta or add diced chicken or shrimp for a little extra "oomph". That said, this fresh, fast, no-side-dish-needed meal is plenty filling on it's own.

Weds: Mini BBQ Cheddar Meatloaves

Assemble the mini meatloaves then store in the fridge for 2-3 days so all you have to do is pop them into the oven at dinnertime. Serve with roasted asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower, or regular or sweet potato fries.

Thurs: Sweet Corn, Kielbasa and Potato Soup

If there's still fresh sweet corn available in your area - use that. Otherwise frozen works great too.

Fri: Chicken Caesar Salad Pasta

This is another full meal in a bowl. Grill, bake, or saute the chicken up to a few days ahead of time then assemble cold and devour!

Hi Reader, Yesterday I published the recipe for Gluten Free Breakfast Bombs and I wanted get it to you ASAP so you could make a batch this weekend. They keep perfectly in the refrigerator so you can reheat and eat for breakfast all week long. What's a breakfast bomb, you might be asking yourself? Fair. 😆 It's a twist on Brazilian cheese bread that combines eggs, cheese, and breakfast sausage (or bacon) in a hand-held breakfast that's got a light yet satisfying crunch on the exterior, and a...

We're taking quick and easy dinners — some with make-ahead components, some made in just one pan — ALL delicious, gluten free, and family friendly! Here is your...

bowl of apple crisp

Hi Reader, It was straight up cold here last week?

You too? Well today I'm sharing my Fall Cooking Bucket List that contains over 50 cozy, gorgeous gluten free recipes to enjoy all season long.
