 Salmon with Pesto and Roasted Cauliflower is an easy 5-ingredient full dinner! Yep, all you need is just five ingredients to create the crispiest, most flavorful salmon meal. We pan-sear salmon filets in a screaming hot cast iron skillet, and serve it over a bed of pesto farro studded with nutty roasted cauliflower. This is honestly the BEST five-ingredient meal you'll ever make!

Summery Chicken Ragu is a lighter take on a traditional bolognese but echos the same fundamentals with plenty of veggies and a tomato-based sauce. We use fresh cherry tomatoes, tangy goat cheese and ground chicken to make sure you finish this meal still light on your toes.

We toss peppery arugula with salty feta, crunchy pepita seeds, red onion and an easy honey vinaigrette. We add in grilled blackened salmon and pineapple to make this easy salad hearty and perfect for lunch or dinner.

Air Fryer Chicken Thighs are a true winner in the realm of delicious, easy chicken dinners. We dust bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with garlic, onion, and cumin then cook them inn the air fryer until the skin is irresistibly crispy and the inside is tender and moist. We drizzle it all with a fiiery chimichurri and dig in!

Mediterranean Bowls

A classic pasta - shrimp puttanesca - showcases all the thing I love about the Mediterranean diet. Fresh linguine noodles are tossed with a impossibly simple tomato infused white wine sauce and studded with briny, salty capers and olives. With a heavy hand of garlic and a sprinkling of freshly grated parmesan cheese, this easy pasta dish manages to be utterly delicious and light and healthy at the same time. 

Shrimp Puttanesca

A few simple ingredients and a grill transform a run-of-the-mill chicken breast into our wildly flavorful Asian Marinated Chicken. Lime juice, honey, fish sauce, soy sauce, and honey are the ensemble of ingredients making up the ultra flavorful marinade the chicken is immersed in before it's thrown on the grill. What results is a slightly charred on the outside, moist on the inside chicken breast that's worthy of the most glorious summer weekend. We serve the juicy chicken with an easy Snap Pea Panzanella and then relish in the fact that this easy dinner took virtually no effort to put together.

Brimming with saucy ground beef, chewy rice noodles, and plenty of veggies, our Spicy Beef Noodles are the perfect way to get dinner on the table fast and without complaint. These guys are equal parts sweet, spicy, and delicious and we can't get enough of them. Perfect way to use up leftover ground beef and veggies.
