7 Easy Weeknight Meals to Make Right Now (That are Actually Delicious)

These 7 weeknight meals are all top-8-allergen-free, easy, quick, healthy and actually delicious, and the portions make enough to feed a family and have some leftovers to pack for lunches the next day.

It’s with lots of love that I share my favorite, fresh weeknight meals that come together in a flash and provide nourishment for everyone at your table. These are all in my family’s regular rotation, and I hope you’ll find a thing or two here that you really love, too.

P.S. Need more weeknight hacks? I have two posts dedicated to freezer meal cooking: Stock your Freezer for Spring and Stock your Freezer for Summer, and soon I’ll debut a fall version. Do your future self a favor and take a weekend day to make some of those meals to have on hand at all times.

The recipes:

main lemon pasta

1. Gluten-Free Lemon Spaghetti with Oregano

2. Four-Ingredient Sesame Chicken

maple mustard one pan chicken

3. Maple-Mustard One Pan Chicken

4. Healing Coconut Soup

5. Gluten-Free Pasta with Tomato “Cream” Sauce


6. Love and Lemons’s Black Bean Soup (just make sure the optional garnishes you choose adhere to your dietary restrictions)


7. The Family Freezer’s Make-Ahead Steak Fajitas (just make sure to serve over rice or gluten-free tortillas and either omit shredded cheese or replace with a soy and nut-free vegan cheese that adheres to your dietary restrictions)
