5 Easy Weeknight Dinners with Rice

Gluten free, Dairy free Meal Plan Newsletter Week of 1.13

I’ve seen so many recipe videos that look really good, but I want my weeknight recipes to be easy, and so many are not! I’m not a professional chef. I move slow. The ideal situation is prepping some ingredients earlier in the week to make other nights’ dinners quicker and faster.

For example, this week we’re going to be making 5 dinner recipes all made with rice. That way, I can make the rice in one very large batch early in the week and save me time for the rest of the week.

Today’s newsletter will walk you through these 5 easy meals:

• MONDAY: Gluten Free Fried Rice Recipe

• TUESDAY: Gluten Free Chili with Red Beans

• WEDNESDAY: Turkey Taco Skillet Recipe

• THURSDAY: 30-Minute Black Pepper Chicken Recipe

• FRIDAY: Easy Greek Bowl Recipe

This Week’s Dinner Plan:

MONDAY: Gluten Free Fried Rice Recipe

Fully: Gluten free, Dairy free

I always love to make this easy gluten free fried rice recipe whenever I’m craving Chinese takeout! Being gluten free and celiac, it is so hard to safely order chinese food. Making my favorite chinese takeout dishes at home also gives me peace of mind knowing it’s made with safe and allergy friendly certified gluten-free ingredients.
