My Gluten Free Weekly Meal Plan

 

Phew, this week is going to be hectic. We're having not one, not two, but THREE dinner parties in a row, plus a lunch. Two of these will be more relaxed, just myself, hubby, and one girlfriend of mine, but still, it definitely requires some pre-planning, hence why I've resumed my weekly meal planning.

Not to mention it's the end of the month and subsequently, we're at the end of our food budget! But that's ok. With a bit of planning and ingenuity, I'm confident we'll pull it off with little extra spent. Here's how I plan to do it...


I dropped off the meal planning the last couple of months as I was finishing up my latest cookbook, Cooking and Baking with Gluten Free Beer. But now that the madness of that has passed, I'll try to do better. At least until the end of February, when we're going to Europe for a whole month! More on that later, but for today, here's how I'm going to feed four different sets of people over the course of the week:
