This Asian BBQ Ground Chicken is my go-to weeknight dinner right now! I make it allll the time! It’s gluten free, one pan, and makes a minimal mess—because I definitely don’t have time for dishes as a first-time mom. It’s ready in 30 minutes… So easy, but feels like takeout at home.

Truly it is cheaper, easier and better than take out…plus you KNOW its gluten free! I chat about hacks to save time when making this meal, what veggie you can swap in and why its better than ordering take out for dinner!

This One-Pan Taco Skillet has been my go-to. It takes about 30–45 minutes total, and everything happens in one pan and on one cutting board. Minimal dishes, minimal effort, and so much flavor. It’s also completely gluten-free, and if you use dairy-free cheese, it’s dairy-free too. It’s the kind of meal that tastes like you spent forever making it, but secretly you barely did anything.

There’s something about tortilla soup that just feels like a warm hug in a bowl. Honestly, this one came together on a weeknight when I had zero idea what to make. It’s one pan, naturally gluten free, and packed with flavor from taco seasoning, green chilis, and creamy broth. You can load it up with your favorite toppings, which makes it feel extra fun.
