Gluten-Free Meal Plan (August 26)

Easy slow cooker and stove top recipes make this week’s gluten-free meal plan great for busy schedules and getting back into a school routine. From stir fry to cheeseburger fries to waffles and apple crisp, you’ll find lots of delicious meal ideas.

I hope you all enjoyed the eclipse. The sun was about 80% eclipsed here, and it was pretty cool. Instead of our usual hot and humid August weather, we are having a taste of fall here this weekend, and I’m enjoying it with some of my favorite gluten-free bloggers! I’m also sharing with them one of my favorite wines which is perfectly appropriate for this week – Radius Eclipse!

Main Dish

Slow Cooker Pizza Casserole – This an alternative to my oven baked pizza casserole if you don’t want to turn on your oven. Either way, it’s delicious!

 

Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry – Stir fry is a delicious and healthy stove top meal that’s always a hit with my family and friends.

 

Zucchini Scramble – Although this recipe calls for coating the zucchini with gluten-free flour, I’ve made it without flour, It’s just as good and makes a great low-carb meal.

 

Slow Cooker Mexican Beef Bowls – I recently made this when some family was over for dinner, and everyone really enjoyed it. I like that it can be personalized with toppings or the rice can be omitted.

 

Italian Sausage with Quinoa and Broccoli – This is another easy, tasty, one-dish meal that my family always enjoys.

 

Cheeseburger Fries – If your kids like to have a fun Friday night dinner (or any night), this one is easy and always a winner.

Sides

Chopped Veggie Salad – With a simple homemade dressing, this salad is fresh and delicious and can be varied to use what veggies you have.

 

Beet Smoothie – Red or golden beets work well in this refreshing smoothie.

 

Dairy-Free Bread Balls – Although they’re grain free, these bread balls are not low carb. They are soft and chewy and always a hit, though!

Breakfast

Blueberry Waffles – Waffles are perfect for a special weekend breakfast or as part of breakfast for dinner (which is always fun).

 

Healthy Carrot Muffins – These muffins are grain-free and delicious!

Dessert

Salted Caramel Apple Crisp – Summer is coming to an end, and it’s time to start enjoying delicious apple recipes like this one from Crunchmaster!

 

Chocolate Avocado Pudding – This is one of my favorite healthy desserts.  I particularly like it made with coconut milk. My parents really enjoy it too.
