Whether you enjoy it or not, cooking can be rewarding, especially when the people you are cooking for love your food. But it can be tough to add new meals every week that your family will love. It is even harder when your family eats gluten free or paleo because of an allergy.
One of the parenting struggles of being a busy mom or dad is trying to plan meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every Friday, we will share our weekly recipe round-up of great gluten free and paleo recipes for you and your family. Our hope is that this is helpful in deciding what you want to make for dinner and makes meal planning a little easier for you.
Here are this week’s four fantastic favorite recipes:

Gluten Free Pork Chops – One Pan Meals
Pork chops are delicious any time of the year. However, as the weather cools down, my mind switches to making comfort foods. As a busy parent, I find this pork chop recipe to be easy and delicious. The best thing about pork chops for me is that I purchase my meat from local farmers and it not only helps the community, but it helps the farmers stay in business.
