The first two meals on this gluten-free menu plan would make great food for watching the game tomorrow. But if you just want appetizer type finger foods and missed my Game Day Recipes round up the other day, be sure to check it out. It also includes a few dessert ideas.
Wine Pairing
Two of the meals in the menu plan (Sloppy Joes and Salmon Chowder) have links in the post where you can find wine pairings for those specific recipes at Wine4.Me. Wine4.Me is an iPhone app that helps you find wines you will like based on what you already know you like.
The recipes in this menu plan are all gluten free. I also provide suggestions for dairy free and grain free diets for those who are interested.
Weekly Gluten-Free Menu Plan
Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes with homemade Hamburger Buns, veggies and dip. Omit the buns for grain free. *Wine pairings are available with this recipe.
Baked Macaroni & Cheese with steamed broccoli – Use a cheese substitute for dairy free, but you might want to add another protein source to the meal. For grain free, go with something completely different such as zucchini noodles and pasta sauce.
Beef & Bean Casserole – Use dairy free substitutes (cheese can also be omitted). Use arrowroot starch for thickening for grain free.
Chicken Cacciatore (Slow Cooker) with Rice and Salad – For grain free, omit the rice and thicken with arrowroot starch.
Salmon Chowder with spinach salad and Dairy Free Bread Balls – All are dairy and grain free!
Corn Bread Pizza with veggies and dip – Use a cheese substitute or omit the cheese for dairy free. For grain free, make zucchini crust pizza.

i would love to plan my weekly dinners with gluten free recipes. My son has lactose intolerance and gluten as well. We don’t mind to eat gluten free just to keep him on track. He is a pick eater, he doesn’t like vegetables,or fruit, just apples. I need to hiden it inside soups , beef stews and meatballs, sometimes I feel that We are eating the same food over and over again which make us tired. I need to plan a Monday to Monday dinner recipes for my family.
