Gluten and dairy – the two things I would have happily told you made up the majority of my diet at one point in time and I’m willing to bet you know the feeling.
Whether or not you’re intolerant or just trying to cut back, eating gluten and dairy free doesn’t have to feel as intimidating as it might sound. In fact, with the right recipe you won’t think twice about missing either!
Below I’ve put together a list of a few recipes to get your started. Here, you’ll find everything from one pan dinners, creamy pastas, hearty soups and healthy meals! These recipes are all easy to make meals that can be prepared in one pan or with minimal, basic ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Plus, they’re all reader approved!

Low FODMAPKhichdi Chicken and Rice
