Easy Swaps

Most recipes are closer to fitting your dietary needs than you think. A few pantry swaps go a long way:

Gluten-free pasta (Barilla or Banza) works 1:1 in any pasta dish — chickpea pasta marinara, shrimp scampi, chicken alfredo, all of them.
Corn tortillas instead of flour instantly makes fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, and taco bars gluten-free.
Coconut cream for heavy cream works beautifully in soups (butternut squash, tomato basil) and curries. The slight coconut flavor is a feature, not a bug.
Dairy-free cheese (Violife or similar from Costco) melts well enough for pizzas, quesadillas, and baked ziti.
Tamari instead of soy sauce is the easiest gluten-free swap you'll ever make — same flavor, zero wheat.
Oat milk handles overnight oats, smoothies, and french toast casserole without missing a beat.
Cauliflower rice can sub into fried rice, burrito bowls, and teriyaki bowls for a lower-carb option that's also naturally gluten-free.
