DinnerRatatouille soup makes six servings. I make it ahead of time for meals I want to serve as a side dish with other foods at different times. Eggplant and zucchini in the soup become tender in the tomato broth. A short blending period near the end of cooking adds pieces of vegetables to the soup (my favorite feature of this soup).
Sauces & DipsShaking olive oil and vinegar with minced parsley ensures an even distribution of parsley and other herbs and garlic in the chimichurri sauce. Shaking the parsley and olive oil and vinegar makes it easier to serve chimichurri sauce. This five-minute chimichurri recipe from Argentina and Uruguay produces a fresh, herby, tangy sauce with a bit of crushed red pepper flavor.
DinnerThese recipes are suitable for use as appetizers or main courses at home. Boneless chicken strips marinated in buttermilk and pickle juice and coated with seasoned gluten-free flour are fried to provide a crispy exterior and juicy interior like restaurant-served chicken.
BreakfastI make this mocha chia pudding for meal prep so I can have breakfast in the fridge. Make the chia pudding ahead of time and chill single servings as needed. The rich mocha taste of coffee and chocolate is present in the pudding, and the chia seeds help the pudding set to a spoonable consistency.
Side DishesFresh pineapple with firm, yellow-fleshed fruit works well in this coconut pineapple rice recipe as a side dish. This pineapple rice recipe also works well with jasmine rice when you want moist, shiny rice. Other ingredients in this recipe include red pepper and herbs to add small sweet bites to the dish and herbs to enhance flavor.
Side DishesRoast a whole cauliflower for four servings and cut some roasted pieces to eat throughout the week. Serve the meal on the first night with the baking pan. The cumin spice blend on the cauliflower has a smoky flavor and a touch of cinnamon. I like the darker parts of the cauliflower.
Side DishesI bake polenta rounds ahead of time as part of meal planning and serve them hot with browned and crispy Parmesan and other toppings. Slicing polenta from a tube can make it easier to serve. Baking polenta rounds in a heavy baking pan makes a gritty, crunchy center (tip for serving tube polenta).
BreakfastMake chia and lemon puddings ahead of time and layer them in parfait or yogurt cups for serving. The Lemon Vanilla Chia Pudding recipe, which serves two, includes chia pudding with lemon pudding and a hint of vanilla for a refreshing breakfast or dessert option.
LunchHigh heat on the grill helps keep the Sriracha shrimp tender and tasty without overcooking. Check out this recipe for Sriracha Shrimp and Rice Bowl, featuring Sriracha shrimp and rice bowl with edamame, cucumber, and spicy mayo.
DinnerMake four chicken fajita bowls with separate components, including rice, cooked chicken and peppers, beans, and other uncooked ingredients, to eat throughout the week for lunch and dinner. Cooked leftovers can be stored for several days. Pan-fried seasoned chicken and peppers provide additional flavor and nutrition for the bowls.
LunchDouble batch in two separate bowls by precooking quinoa and shrimp while you chop vegetables, then refrigerate bowls until ready to eat with avocado. Shrimp Avocado Quinoa Bowls contain Cajun-seasoned charred shrimp and avocado, romaine lettuce, cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, sliced onion, and other ingredients.
Snacks & AppetizersChoose fresh, mostly tender cilantro and parsley leaves. Dried herbs will not work in this chimichurri recipe. Argentinian chimichurri is a sauce made mainly with cilantro and parsley, garlic, oil, and vinegar. It has a strong garlic flavor and a little red pepper heat.
DinnerFor planned meals, you can prepare the curry paste and marinate chicken overnight in the refrigerator or freeze in a dump bag. This slow cooker chicken curry recipe serves four with chicken in a mild, creamy sauce with garam masala, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
DinnerThis seafood risotto recipe is great for a special dinner at home. Risotto Marinara features Arborio rice cooked in marinara sauce with shrimp and scallops. Lemon juice and white wine make this risotto dish more flavorful.
DinnerExpected prep and cook time: 1 hour 25 minutes. Most of the time required if making this recipe is oven time, with 15 minutes of preparation time. Sliced, cooked pork loin roast with honey garlic sauce, served with Brussels sprouts and roasted butternut squash in the same pan.
DinnerChoose bite-size pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast. Chicken has few calories and is a good meat choice for this yogurt marinade recipe. Chicken tikka masala is a dish consisting of pieces of chicken that have been browned and served in a spiced sauce of tomatoes and onions and garam masala and other spices such as ginger and garlic.
