As always, the meal ideas below are based on what my family is eating this week. Always simple, always gluten free. Also, if you see a red link in the meal name, click on it to take you to a more detailed recipe.

Gluten Free Weekly Meal Plan (September 1-5, 2014)

We've been living in a hotel for the past week since selling our house, waiting for our departure to France. We leave for 6 weeks in France tomorrow, so the truth is, I'm not really sure what we'll be eating for the rest of the week, except that it will be gluten free! Still, it's back to school for most, so quick and easy meals are a must. Here are some simple meal ideas to make back to school dinners run smoothly. Did I mention that these recipes are all extremely budget friendly?

Monday: Chicken with Tomatoes & Olives (RECIPE)

Gluten Free Weekly Meal Plan (August 4-8, 2014)

We're a few weeks out from moving day, and we've been packing up the house so that we're not scrambling at the last minute. Meals have been quick and easy, and this week will be no exception.

Gluten Free Weekly Meal Plan (June 9-13, 2014)

Our house has been listed for sale, which means that we need to be able to vacate the premises for viewings with little notice. As a result, this week's recipes are pretty much 1 pot meals that are easy to make and don't need a ton of pots and pans to put them together.

Monday: Green Pea Soup with Gluten Free Garlic Bread (2 cups frozen peas, 4 cups gluten free vegetable or chicken broth, some mint leaves if desired. Season to taste, then blend smooth.)

Gluten Free Weekly Meal Plan (June 2-6, 2014)

Monday: Center-cut pork chops seasoned with Thyme, and Roasted Asparagus with a Dijon Yogurt Sauce (for the sauce, mix 2 large tablespoons of plain yogurt with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.)
