If you’re always on the hunt for new recipes, or if you’re trying to stay organized and avoid takeout, then you’ll love these meal plans. This week, we’re making Greek chicken and blackened tilapia. Then, we’re grilling pork tenderloin and beef kabobs before ending the week with my sticky lamb ribs! What’s in this meal plan 5 dinner recipes 1 breakfast, 1 snack, and 1 dessert recipe Recipe tips + optional side dishes A printable grocery list...
We got this email from a reader a few months back: Hi Sonja and Alex. I just had the most delicious Greek salad at Panera. I would love to make this at home but don’t know where to start. Perhaps you do? -Kathy.” When we read Kathy’s request, we said: why don’t we just try to make a recipe? It resulted in this Mediterranean quinoa salad! It’s a seriously tasty quinoa bowl: a hearty main dish salad that works as a meal....
Looking for a fast and easy dip to impress at parties or a simple dinner? Try this Mexican inspired corn dip! This recipe celebrates the flavors of elote (Mexican street corn), riffing on them to make a tasty dip for eating with crunchy tortilla chips. The pops of sweet corn against the tangy lime, zingy green chiles and salty crumbled cheese is absolutely irresistible! It’s quick to put together with canned corn, though any type of cooked corn works too (especially grilled!...
Love a great cup of strong coffee? Here’s how to make a smooth, bold brew: the Moka Pot! This stovetop espresso maker makes a dark, intense cup that’s somewhere between espresso and very strong coffee. It’s very easy to use, either for your everyday coffee or to make “espresso” for homemade coffee drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and more. Here’s how to use a Moka Pot! What’s a Moka Pot? The Moka Pot is a stovetop coffee maker used to make espresso-like coffee....
Need more homemade lattes? Try my almond milk latte, gingerbread latte, and keto pumpkin spice latte next. I used to make 2 to 3 lattes per day, and I always used whole milk. As much as I love the flavor, my stomach sometimes begs to differ. So, I’ve tried my hand at making lattes using plant-based milks. Most recently, I’ve been obsessed with oat milk. Why I love this recipe Two simple ingredients....
Looking for a fantastic non-dairy milk to use in smoothies? Try oat milk! Oat milk is one of our favorite vegan milk options. It’s seriously creamy and has the closest flavor to milk as any of the other plant-based milks (in our opinion). So what not try it in an Oat Milk Smoothie? This smoothie recipe is our favorite template and works using any type of frozen fruit. Here we’ve used strawberries: but feel free to get creative!...
We’re chocoholics over here, so one of our top treats to make is Chocolate Bark! This one is sweet and salty, with a confetti of colorful ingredients and absolutely irresistible. It’s the best fun treat that makes a great gift. We used cranberries, pistachios, coconut and sea salt for the toppings, but it’s totally customizable based on your preferences. Here’s how to make the perfect chocolate bark: with a smooth, shiny sheen on the chocolate and just the right crisp crunch when you bite into it....
We’re all about shortcuts around here…and this one is our best new dinnertime trick. Try Pizza Bagels! This genius concept uses a bagel to make the crust of the pizza pie. All you need are a few ingredients and they come out like a charm: fluffy, thick-crust personal pizzas, piled with toppings and smothered in gooey cheese. Here’s how to whip these up! Ingredients for pizza bagels Pizza bagels use a bagel to make the crust of a personal pizza: much in the same way as a tortilla pizza, pita pizza, French bread pizza, or naan pizza....
Adding protein to everyday foods is one of my secret hacks for fitting muscle-building nutrition into my daily diet. Some of my favorite foods to add protein to are protein donuts, protein cheesecake, and protein banana bread. Since all those recipes are sweet treats, I made a more traditional bread recipe. What is protein bread? Simply put, protein bread is made with every ingredient to increase protein. Unlike typical bread recipes, which use all-purpose flour, this recipe uses almond flour to make a gluten-free alternative that packs even more protein per serving....
Pulled meat is my ultimate idea for a lazy dinner. It requires only minimal work to make this fabulous meal. Once you taste this tender, moist and fall-of-the-bone kind of deliciousness, it will definitely become one of your family favorites. Honestly, is there anything better than pulled meat oozing with flavor and deliciousness? Well, unless you turn it into another impressive and flavorful dinner. So today, I’m going to create this pulled lamb burger which is as delicious as the slow cooked pulled lamb....
Alex and I have been working on our repertoire of fast and easy dinner ideas for years. It’s a constant challenge, trying to figure out those standbys that are quick, healthy, and delicious at the same time! This coconut lentil curry comes from an idea I had one night trying to determine what to do with some kale from the garden. I ad-libbed with some lentils and a can of coconut milk we had on-hand, threw in some curry paste, and voila!...
Want to grab a bottle of Aperol, or not sure exactly what it is? This ultra popular Italian liqueur is best known for its inclusion in the iconic Spritz. But what is it exactly? It it worth buying a bottle? We think so. This liqueur is on the sweet end when it comes to Italian aperitifs, with an intriguing herbal orange flavor. You can use it for a Spritz, of course: but it’s got even more to offer....
Looking for more salad recipes? Try my Big Mac salad, wedge salad, Greek couscous salad, and 7-layer salad next. I’m not going to lie; I’m not usually one who craves salad. So, if I’m going to make one, it’s got to be creative, which is why I’ve been making my Ramen Asian salad recipe like there’s no tomorrow. Why I love this recipe Perfect taste and texture. Like my kani salad, the crunch of the cabbage and ramen noodles creates an intriguing texture combination, while the dressing adds a savory, sweet, and acidic element....
Need a pick me up? Try Red Eye Coffee! When you just can’t pick between drip coffee and espresso, why not combine them? This drink is extra-caffeinated for those days where you need a little more to power through the day. If you’re going for flavor, you might want to opt for multiple espresso drinks (in fact, we prefer the flavor of an Americano or espresso shot). But if you need a quick fix: the Red Eye Coffee is where it’s at!...
Here’s an easy DIY recipe that adds fresh flavor to all your cocktails and mocktails: rosemary simple syrup! This syrup adds just the right herbal evergreen nuance to all your drinks. You’ll be surprised at the amount of flavor that comes from just a few rosemary sprigs! It’s great for fall and winter to add a hint of cozy, but it works in summer too! Here’s what to know about making syrup with fresh rosemary....
Ready for what we might contend is our best salsa recipe? Meet this salsa fresca, a “fresh salsa” made with ripe, juicy tomatoes. Alex and I are growing tomatoes in our garden this year, and this is the absolute best way to use them. (Except for Caprese salad, right?) If you have access to some legit good tomatoes, we recommend you consider making up a batch stat. It’s super tangy from the lime, a little sweet from the tomato, and has a back-end heat from the jalapeño....
Last month, Alex and I hopped on a plane to Italy, Croatia and Spain in search of culinary inspiration. Armed with a notebook, we set about to eat everything we could get our hands on. Several pages of notes and a transatlantic flight later, we’re trying to recreate our favorites in our home kitchen so you can taste them, too! And on this trip, we found spicy pizza diavola. We discovered it in Rome, at a brew pub of all places....
Here’s a frothy, icy puree that’s bursting with flavor: the Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie! After creating over 50 smoothie recipes, we’ve learned loads about making the best possible purees for snacks, breakfasts, and treats. This recipe has a nuanced fruity flavor with a tropical finish from the pineapple. It’s a spin-off on our classic strawberry smoothie, and we might like it even better. Want more strawberry smoothie variations? Try Strawberry Mango, Strawberry Blueberry, Strawberry Watermelon or Strawberry Banana....
Here’s a recipe that doubles as a meatless dinner or a stunning side dish: and it couldn’t be more delectable. Try these spinach artichoke Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms! It combines comforting spinach artichoke dip with the meaty goodness of a baked portobello mushroom. Top it off with crunchy Italian breadcrumbs, and you’ll amaze everyone at the table!
