Tara Wynn is a mom of three, a full-time nurse, and someone who knows all too well the value of a quick, nourishing dinner. “After a long shift, I don’t want to stand over a stove for an hour,” she says. That’s why one-pan meals became her secret weapon—especially ones that support her gut health.
Tara’s journey into gut-friendly eating began after a bout of recurring bloating and fatigue. “I realized my dinners were too heavy and didn’t include enough fiber,” she recalls. So she started simplifying her meals—focusing on whole, colorful foods and cooking everything together on a single sheet pan or skillet.
What started as a time-saving habit turned into a wellness routine. Her favorite combinations include roasted salmon with sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, or chicken thighs with fennel and zucchini. She seasons everything with olive oil, garlic, and a touch of lemon—keeping it simple but flavorful.
These meals aren’t just easy—they’re packed with prebiotics and nutrients that feed the gut. “When I eat this way, I sleep better, digest better, and even think more clearly,” Tara says. The best part? Her kids enjoy them too, especially when they get to pick the vegetables.
Now, Tara shares her one-pan strategies on social media, reminding busy families that eating for gut health doesn’t have to mean fancy ingredients or complicated prep. “You can take care of your body—and your time,” she says.
