Dylan Dreyer's prep-ahead breakfast casserole makes her family's morning meal a breeze

1 month ago | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

Chef notesI love this recipe because it's so versatile and can be made with anything you have leftover in your fridge. Pick a meat, a veggie and a cheese, and you're good to go! I also love making this casserole the night before because it reheats so easily the next morning for a quick breakfast or lunch. It's also an easy thing to make ahead for a class breakfast (it's a nice gluten-free alternative to the doughnuts and bagels that are usually brought in!).
Dylan Dreyer's go-to game-day dish is Buffalo chicken focaccia

Nov 4, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

RecipesChef notesI’m not a thick-crust pizza girl, but I do love a warm focaccia bread with ooey gooey toppings. When it comes to Buffalo chicken pizza, there are two camps: use the Buffalo sauce as the sauce on the pizza or use red sauce but top it with Buffalo chicken. I’m in the red sauce camp — but I don’t love Buffalo chicken pizza. Enter Buffalo chicken focaccia … it somehow all comes together perfectly.
Dylan Dreyer makes pumpkin banana muffins as a quick breakfast for her boys

Oct 14, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

RecipesChef notesI love making muffins for the boys! I can make a large batch and freeze any leftovers for a quick breakfast or snack, although there are rarely leftovers. I try to work in a little extra nutrition when I can, but I also want it to taste yummy so you’ll notice the sugar and chocolate chips, along with the bananas, unsweetened applesauce and pumpkin instead of oil. Banana bread is so versatile, so this is yet another spin on an old favorite.
Dylan Dreyer makes Caesar chicken for an easy weeknight dinner

Sep 11, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

I love quick and easy weeknight meals that don’t take a lot of prep work. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with Caesar salad, but I can’t get my kids to eat a salad. So instead, I use Caesar dressing and a Parmesan-breadcrumb topping on some chicken to get a similar effect — and my kids love it!
Dylan Dreyer's ideal lunch is this 'delightfully easy' croissant sandwich

Aug 26, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

Chef notesLunch is the bane of my existence. It’s my least favorite meal to eat, and it stresses me out figuring out what to make the boys every day. They’re happy with cheese and mayonnaise sandwiches, but I wanted to figure out something a little “fancier” that I would enjoy eating, too. So I put my lazy spin on a croque monsieur and came up with these sweet and salty sandwiches. We use Schar gluten-free croissants, but you can use whichever kind is your favorite.
Dylan makes gluten-free hamburger buns for her son Cal

Jun 17, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

Chef notesI posted my experiment making potato rolls on Instagram and it’s gotten hundreds of comments, so I knew I needed to share this new recipe for Cooking with Cal. I love potato rolls: They’re soft, squishy, slightly sweet and a touch salty — they make the perfect hamburger buns. Ever since Calvin was diagnosed with celiac disease and we became a gluten-free family, good hamburger buns were missing from our lives.
Dylan Dreyer makes this greens-filled frittata for her boys in the spring

May 6, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

Chef notesEggs and cheese of any kind are usually a safe bet in our house, so I love a single-serve frittata that I cut up for the boys. It’s also easy to toss in a few veggies and, in the spring, asparagus and scallions are such a good combination in a frittata. You can easily change this up with whatever vegetables and cheese you prefer, but this is our go-to combination.
Dylan Dreyer makes creamy tomato risotto that her son, Cal, adores

Mar 25, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

Chef notesWhenever I truly enjoy a meal, especially when I'm on vacation and know I probably won't ever make it back to that particular restaurant. I always take a picture and try to recreate it at home. This dish I had in Sciacca, Sicily in Italy. It was the most delicious risotto I've ever had, topped with a cheese that's a specialty in that area. Needless to say, I've had to make some adjustments and use my American ingredients so it's a nice, easy recipe.
Dylan Dreyer makes gluten-free cookies & cream pie for her son Calvin

Mar 11, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

Chef notesWhen we went on a recent family vacation, there was a dessert buffet with a delicious cookies and cream pie: my weakness. I couldn’t resist eating it, and Calvin really wanted some, but he couldn’t because it wasn’t gluten-free. I promised him I’d make him a gluten-free version when we got home. Luckily, gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies are absolutely delicious. I also put my own spin on this pie by making gluten-free cookies-and-cream ice cream.
Dylan Dreyer makes this orzo with 'hidden' veggie sauce when her kids are sick

Feb 19, 2024 | today.com | Dylan Dreyer

Chef notesWhen my kids are sick, I always want to make a chicken noodle soup chock-full of veggies. But they're not always thrilled to eat soup. They think it's boring. So, this is my way to get a bunch of veggies into the boys and they don't even realize it. It's a spin on the Italian pastina. We use gluten-free orzo or small noodles and pour the healthy sauce on top. It's easy because the veggies only need to be roughly chopped since they're going to end up in a blender.
