Whether you need an easy veggie side dish, a freezer-friendly breakfast, or a little afternoon coffee treat, I’ve got you covered. Here are a few favorites that deserve a spot on your meal plan this week:
 
🥬 Spicy Roasted Bok Choy
This one is simple, flavorful, and comes together so quickly. The edges get perfectly roasted while the spicy sauce gives it the best little kick. It’s such an easy way to add more greens to dinner.

🍕 Spring Vegetable Sheet Pan Pizza
Loaded with fresh spring veggies and baked on a crispy gluten free crust, this is one of my favorite easy dinners when I want something fun but still nourishing.

🧇 Gluten Free Freezer Waffles
A total breakfast lifesaver for busy mornings. Make a batch ahead of time, freeze them, and pop them in the toaster whenever you need a quick breakfast. My kids LOVE these.

These 3-Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies are one of those “throw it together during naptime” kind of recipes — no fuss, no complicated steps, and no long ingredient list.
 
All you need:
* Ripe bananas
* Oats
* Nutella (or your favorite nut butter)
That’s it!
 
They come out soft, naturally sweet, and perfectly chewy… basically the perfect little treat when you want something homemade but don’t have the time (or energy) to go all out.
 
I love making these on busy afternoons when the kids want a snack now and I don’t want to reach for something packaged. Plus, they’re forgiving — you can eyeball things a bit, swap in peanut butter or almond butter, and they still turn out delicious.

Fresh, bright, and completely oven-free. This one is a lifesaver when you want something beautiful without heating up the kitchen.
