A gluten-free week of dinners

Seven dinners from five cooks with no wheat in the main ingredients, and the one sauce swap that keeps them gluten-free. About $39.52 for two people for the week ($2.82 a serving) at typical US grocery prices, against roughly $210 as takeout.

Why these dinners

None of these dinners has pasta, noodles, bread or flour in its main ingredients. Regular soy sauce has wheat, so use tamari wherever a dish calls for soy sauce, and check the labels on oyster sauce, chili pastes and curry roux.
What helps in this week: salmon, green onion, rice mix, chicken thigh, garlic, shallots, olive oil, eggs, corn, carrots, red pepper, green pepper.
