Easy Pesto Pasta

This quick and easy pesto pasta is a delicious vegetarian weeknight dinner! I like to add a handful of arugula, but feel free to skip it or use your favorite soft greens in its place.

Almond Chicken Soup

Sweet potato and almond butter give this soup a creamy, decadent texture. In less than 30 minutes, you'll have a soothing bowl of hearty, filling goodness!

Picadillo Style Chili

Spiced not spicy, our Spanish-style beef chili is light on tomatoes but big on flavor with cumin, cinnamon, and poblanos. It's served with almonds, olives, and currants that take it to the next level of deliciousness.

Cheddar Cheese Coins

These crisp and buttery crackers with a sharp cheddar bite are perfect for snacking on their own or served topped with prosciutto.

Quick Vegetable Stir Fry

This veggie stir fry is simple and quick to make. You will need 6 to 7 cups of vegetables. Choose a variety of colors and textures. We like to keep about half of the vegetables on the heartier side (like broccoli and carrots). Add the heartier veggies to the pan first and cook for a few minutes before adding quicker-cooking vegetables like scallions, bell peppers, and snow peas. This way, all the vegetables turn out perfectly cooked. You can make the stir-fry sauce up to 5 days in advance. It is extra delicious when made with fresh ginger and garlic, but you can leave them out if you do not have them on hand.

Pan Fried Shell Steaks

These simple seared shell steaks make a satisfying dinner any night of the week.

Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pão de queijo is a classic Brazilian snack and breakfast bread. Light and airy, with a delightful chew and savory, cheesy flavor, each puff has a lightly crispy exterior and a tender, bubbly center. Felipe Donnelly's version is a must-have at his New York City restaurant, Comodo. It's the perfect two-bite snack with hints of cayenne and nutmeg.

bakul
Gnocchi with Quick Meat Sauce

This hearty meal is ready in just 30 minutes. Store-bought gnocchi (Italian for "dumplings") cook in just a few minutes, so they're faster than pasta. You'll have extra meat sauce left over to make Summer Beef-and-Rice Casserole later in the week.

Easy Vegetable Curry

This vegetable curry is quick and packed with flavor. We use store-bought Thai red curry paste (Thai Kitchen), but if you have your own, feel free to use it. You are also welcome to substitute green curry paste for the red curry paste.
