Don’t hate me…but I’ve never actually been to In-N-Out (and I’d need it gluten-free anyway), so let’s make it at home.

in-n-out animal style smash tacos

30 minutes. 1 Sheet pan. 38g protein. Gluten free.

Corn tortillas and ground meat baked on a sheet pan and topped with a 3-ingredient animal sauce.

Turkey, chicken or beef all work.

Smashed tacos have a permanent spot on our dinner rotation because they’re such an easy weeknight dinner.

“that 3-ingredient in-and-out sauce is genius, making these tonight”

“tastes like in-n-out but I didn’t leave my house”

Comment PEPPERONI for this hot honey pepperoni pizza pasta recipe (gluten free)

❤️ Follow me for more easy gluten free dinners

I love anything with pizza toppings! This easy one pan meal tastes just as good as a pepperoni pizza but is made with pasta.

It’s ready in 30 minutes, which is faster than getting takeout delivered, and it has all the same flavors as your favorite pepperoni pizza: rich tomato sauce, gooey melted cheese, crispy pepperoni, plus a spicy hot honey drizzle on top.

This is a gluten free dinner as long as you use a certified gluten free pasta and check your pepperoni label. I used Rao’s marinara.

TO SAVE TIME: skip the caramelized onions

TO SAVE MONEY: make a double batch and have leftovers in the freezer for the next time you want to resort to ordering in

2. Marinate the flank steak in half the chimichurri for at least 30 minutes.
3. Grill the steak to your liking and let it rest.
4. Grill the corn on the cob.

Comment PIZZA for this 4 ingredient burrata pizza recipe (gluten free)

If you’re hosting a pizza night this summer, this 4-ingredient, 15-minute recipe is the one to make.

Italy is known for so many cheeses, but today we’re focusing on burrata! It comes from Southern Italy around Andria and Bari in Puglia, which is exactly where my family is from, so this one is personal for me.

I partnered with and to showcase Real Italian Burrata. It has an outer shell and a soft, creamy stracciatella center that makes it SO good. It’s fresh, a little sweet, and best served with simple ingredients like the pesto and arugula here so the cheese is the star.

This summer, make sure to use Real Italian Cheese, Please!
