Hi Reader,

A couple days ago the cashier at the grocery store asked me if I had any weekend plans (#iowanice). I racked my brain then finally admitted - "I'm taking this week one day at a time." 🤪

The recipes I'm including in next week's meal plan will come in handy if you can relate. We're taking quick and easy dinners — some with make-ahead components, some made in just one pan — ALL delicious, gluten free, and family friendly!

Here is your FREE Weekly Meal Plan for next week:

1️⃣ Crunchy Taco Hamburger Helper

2️⃣ BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

3️⃣ Creamy Ham & Peas Pasta

4️⃣ Vegetable Fajita Bowls

5️⃣ Chicken Shawarma Bowls

Let's Break it Down

#1 Crunchy Taco Hamburger Helper

We call this 1-pan recipe "taco rice" at our house. It couldn't be simpler, and all five of us love it. Serve with everyone's favorite taco toppings (salsa, avocado/guac, tortilla chips, etc).

#2 BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

This is another recipe that all 5 of us adore. Use shredded rotisserie chicken to make it especially quick and easy, then serve with side salads, roasted broccoli, or roasted sweet potato fries (homemade or frozen - it's up to you!)

#3 Creamy Ham & Peas Pasta

Aka: easy gluten-free comfort food made in minutes. This dish doesn't require sides imo, though sliced apples or a fruit salad are great ways to round out the meal.

#4 Veggie Fajita Bowls

I like to cook vegetarian at least once a week and this is one of my favorite meatless meals. Quick-cooking, packed with veggies, super satisfying, and flavorful too.

#5 Chicken Shawarma Bowls

Feedback on this recently-posted recipe has been incredible. Prepare the different components a few days ahead of time so all you have to do is assemble the bowls, then eat.
