Spring can be a difficult time to menu plan. Some days are still chilly and great for soup while others are quite warm, giving you a taste of summer to come. This gluten-free menu plan has a variety of recipes. Switch up the order to fit your schedule and weather.
I have been trying to share ways to adapt the recipes to be dairy and/or grain free. I have to admit that this week’s plan is a little challenging for those adaptations. If you can’t make a recipe work for you, try baking or grilling some chicken or steak along with some veggies. Simple meals can be healthy and delicious.
Weekly Gluten-Free Menu Plan
California Pilaf – This recipe is naturally dairy free, though my family sometimes adds cheddar cheese on top. You could also try making this with quinoa instead of rice. Serve with a salad or a cooked vegetable.
Baked Chicken Kiev – Use a butter substitute if dairy free. Serve with roasted red potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Beef & Pepperoni Soup – Serve with a salad and dairy free bread balls for a completely grain and dairy free meal.
Citrus Cinnamon Chicken (Slow Cooker) – Serve with rice or quinoa and a vegetable. This recipe is naturally dairy and grain free by itself.
Italian Sausage and Pasta – Be sure your sausage is gluten-free. If eating grain free, omit the pasta or substitute cooked potatoes.
Pizza Casserole – If dairy free, try using Daiya cheese substitute or simply omit the cheese. Serve with salad.

Can you tell me what you would crumb or bread items with when you are gluten free? All store bought has gluten. Thanks a lot
You can make bread crumbs from gluten-free bread. Health food stores usually carry gf bread crumbs too. You could also try using crushed or ground up potato or tortilla chips or gf corn flake type cereal.
All looks yummy
