    There are a variety of additional items you’ll need to have stocked in your pantry or purchase at the grocery store like chicken broth, gluten free pasta, rice, butter, eggs, milk, spices, etc. All of these items are too expensive to purchase at Costco or come in way bigger containers than needed for these 21 meals.

    Make it simple…with 1 of these 2 packages!

    Let us make the experience of preparing these meals simpler and easier…

    Complete Package

    One of the most challenging parts to pulling together a large number of meals like this at once is knowing what to do first, next, then and last. When you do things ‘out of order,’ it really can mess up the assembly process and cause you to waste a.lot of time in the kitchen. I’ve created several new printables and instructional videos that will actually make the assembly as smooth and quick as possible for you. Seriously, I might have done a celebratory dance when I finished the assembly…and you will want to as well!  This package includes…

    Complete Package for Gluten Free Plan- Printable Recipes, Grocery List & Assembly Instructions

    • Printable Assembly Instructions – step by step guide to pulling all these meals together and into the freezer
    • Printable Labels – you can print these out onto Avery #6874 label paper and stick them to your plastic baggies or containers.

    • Full Recipes & Grocery List Printables are included as well
