Gluten Free Family Dinner Ideas?

[bluelikejazz]

Friend just had a baby, and we are going to bring dinner over.  The H is gluten free.  They also have a 2 1/2 year old who still mostly eats with his fingers.

Ideas?

I was thinking taco fixings maybe?

My H avoids gluten. Here are some of our regular dinners:

Tacos or fajitas on corn tortillas
Spaghetti squash with marinara and meatballs
Stir fry, asian (rice) noodles with peanut sauce, or fried rice (just watch out for soy sauce which can contain gluten)
Lots of creamy/hearty soups can be made GF - my fave is butternut squash
Buffalo chicken lettuce wraps
Roasted chicken legs + baked sweet potatoes and a veggie
Big salad with salmon or chicken, goat cheese, dried fruit, and nuts
Crustless quiche with bacon, veggies, cheese

If you wanted to do a more traditional pasta/casserole type thing, there are a lot of GF noodles out there that really are not bad. They have improved vastly in the last few years. Just be sure to follow the cooking directions exactly (don't overcook them and often they need to be rinsed right away)

Tacos are good. This chicken fajita casserole is also pretty delicious and gluten free.

Kettle Brand, Way Better, Garden of Eatin', and Foods Should Taste Good are certified gluten free tortilla chip brands if you go that route.

Iowa Girl Eats is gluten-free and I like her recipes: iowagirleats.com/2015/01/02/2014-ige-favorite-recipes/

Thank you everyone! Great ideas

Shepherd's pie or Cottage pie is another good bet, as long as you don't use flour for thickening the sauce. Easy to freeze and reheat also.

Thai Curry (be careful to use gluten free soy sauce if making from scratch)

Potatoes au gratin and a ready to roast or rotisserie chicken?

Is he gf for funsies or does he have celiacs? I am celiacs and despite how well-meaning a person is, I almost always get glutened when I eat in a place that isn't my own. If maybe call and ask, if you aren't sure.

How about home made mac and cheese made with gluten free pasta? I make mine in the crock pot and it is super easy!

I did gf oven fried chicken for our neighbors using crushed rice chex for bread crumbs.

Jambalaya (or anything with rice!) 
Turkey Feta Sliders with lettuce wraps
Taco Soup or Chili
Stuffed peppers
Kung Pao Chicken (with gf soy sauce)

[schrodinger]

My go-to gf meal is a pork roast with apples (slow cooker recipe) and brown rice.

[caramia17]

Pulled pork and coleslaw
Fajitas with corn tortillas
Whole roasted chicken and veggies
Bouillabaisse
Shepherd's pie (I do a SW version with sweet potatoes, sautéed peppers and onions, and chipotle in adobo).

Yum!

Meat with a veggie side dish. We eat a lot of meals like that. Nothing fancy
