BBQ Dijon Salmon with Poblano & Corn Warm Farro Quinoa Salad (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whenever I’m in the mood for a healthy hearty meal, I gravitate towards a type of farro salad. It’s easy to toss with whatever vegetables you have on hand, pair with a simply cooked protein, and call it dinner. This type of meal is in my rotation every week, and it’s often one of my husband’s favorite meals (probably because it feels like one of the healthiest). Farro is easy to cook (especially the 10 minute kind from Trader Joe’s), and is one of the best whole grains you can incorporate into y
Herby Beef Meatballs with Chimichurri (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is my go-to beef meatball recipe. We would make it on rotation with different flavor combinations for our weekly meal prep at Jackie’s Supper Club, and here is an at home version I’ve been loving. To make this a whole meal, I paired it with a big dollop of plain Greek yogurt, some fresh cucumbers, and these beautiful sunchocola tomatoes. Drizzled the chimichurri over everything, and dinner was served in under 40 minutes! Read more

But ever since I discovered my body is evolving and growing a little human, I have had the oddes
French Green Lentil Beef Chili (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chili is one of those things I make when I want to feel ultra prepared for the week. It cooks like a soup, but is hearty enough to be a dinner on its own.Most people think of chili as a winter staple, as it may feel too hot for the summertime, but I think having chili in your year-round rotation is always a good idea.This version is a french green lentil beef chili that is packed with fiber, protein, and flavor, and comes together in under an hour.It’s delicious with an array of toppings, or as
Oregano Tomato Orzo with Shrimp and Green Beans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since there was extra oregano from my Mediterranean dinner with black cod and braised chickpeas, I decided to make an oregano-heavy tomato orzo paired with shrimp and green beans.This wasn’t originally on my “planned meals” menu this week, but it's a recipe made with pantry staples (orzo, garlic, shrimp from the freezer), some extra fun things I had in the fridge (fresh oregano, pecorino cheese), and it really hit the spot. This recipe reminded me of when I first went to cooking school and barel
