Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

These overnight oats are chock-full of classic strawberry-cheesecake flavors—from the rich cream cheese layers to the sweet strawberry base, this feels like dessert for breakfast in the best way possible. If strawberries aren’t at their peak, swap them out for raspberries, blueberries or chopped stone fruit like peaches or nectarines. You could try frozen strawberries, but they may add more liquid to the mixture.
Cheesy Asparagus Chicken Cutlets

A creamy cheese sauce spiked with tender-crisp asparagus blankets chicken cutlets in this early-spring-inspired weeknight dinner. The asparagus can be swapped with other tender, snappy steamed veggies, like snap peas or green beans. Serve with fingerling or new potatoes for a starchy side to complement the sauce.
Carrot Salad

This zesty carrot salad features a sweet-and-savory vinaigrette that adds punch to every bite. Serve it on its own, mix it with greens, or use it as part of a sandwich or wrap filling. Let it stand for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Freshly grated carrots work best here. Grate them using the large holes on a box grater, or use the shredding disk for your food processor if you have one.
Oatmeal-Raisin Breakfast Bars

Enjoy dessert for breakfast with these delicious oatmeal-raisin bars! Made from common pantry essentials, these breakfast bars offer a subtle sweetness and can be enjoyed warm from the oven or stored for several days, providing a hassle-free grab-and-go breakfast option.
Lemon-Blueberry Breakfast Cookies

Cookies for breakfast? Yes, please! These grab-and-go breakfast cookies contain a medley of dried fruit, oats, nuts and nut butter to start your morning off right. Feel free to use a different unsweetened dried fruit in place of the blueberries, or swap out the cashew butter for almond or peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
Crispy Pesto Chicken with Whipped Feta & Tomatoes

These crispy chicken cutlets, flavored with pesto and topped with juicy burst tomatoes, are served with creamy whipped feta. Seek out feta cheese in brine and crumble it by hand for the best results. While we love the vibrant yellow color and sweet flavor of Sungold cherry tomatoes, any cherry or grape tomato will work well here.
Balsamic-Rosemary Butter Melting Potatoes

These melting potatoes earn their name with a technique that combines high-heat roasting and braising for a crispy outside and a wonderfully creamy texture inside. The broth cooks off, leaving behind a sweet and tangy coating. Serve them with roasted chicken or pork and a side salad for dinner.
Skillet Bruschetta Chicken

This flavorful skillet chicken bruschetta puts a tasty spin on a traditional dish. Drawing inspiration from the Italian appetizer, we replace the usual toasted bread with protein-packed chicken cutlets. The vibrant and juicy chopped tomato topping remains a constant, complemented by a drizzle of sweet and tangy balsamic glaze. For an added layer of flavor, serve topped with shaved Parmesan cheese or add some chopped olives to the tomato mixture for a briny kick.
5-Ingredient Brie and Blackberry Jam Grilled Cheese

This irresistible sandwich pairs creamy Brie cheese with a sweet-and-savory blackberry jam spread for the perfect ultra-quick lunch or dinner option. You can easily double the recipe using a medium pan, or use a sandwich press if you have one on hand.
Buffalo-Butter Chicken Bites

These Buffalo-butter chicken bites are a boneless, bite-size version of classic Buffalo wings, complete with fresh veggies and a creamy dressing for dipping. We love using juicy, tender chicken thighs for this recipe, but chicken breast or tenders will work well too. Buffalo-style hot sauce brings a tangy kick but often packs a significant amount of sodium as well. If you’re watching your salt intake, compare nutrition labels and opt for a sauce with the least amount of sodium.
Banana Bread Overnight Oats

Ripe bananas add natural sweetness to these healthy overnight oats. If you keep ripe bananas in your freezer, this recipe is a great way to use them—but skip using a previously frozen banana for the slices in the oat mixture, as the texture isn’t ideal. Feel free to swap the walnuts out for another nut, if you prefer.
Avocado Deviled Eggs

These avocado deviled eggs add a little zing to a classic recipe. Avocado combined with egg yolks adds extra creaminess, while lime juice adds an extra hit of acidity. Add chopped cooked bacon for a savory note. Look for pickled red onions in a jar, or make your own by soaking thinly sliced red onion in a solution of white-wine vinegar and sugar for 30 minutes.
Parmesan-Crusted Cabbage Steaks

These tender cabbage steaks are brushed with balsamic vinegar and oil on both sides to help with caramelization while also adding sweetness to every bite. If you have any leftover cabbage after cutting the steaks, chop it up and save it for a salad, or use it for roasting the following day.
White Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup-Inspired Overnight Oats

Put a twist on your overnight oats with these jars inspired by the flavors of a popular candy. The white chocolate shell mimics the exterior of the peanut butter cup for a fun breakfast. Don’t skip the peanuts on top as they add a nice crunch. Feel free to swap in any milk or nut butter you prefer.
Roasted Sweet Potato & Beet Sandwiches

These hearty sandwiches are piled high with veggies—including earthy roasted beets and sweet potatoes, lemony arugula and quick-pickled onions—for a satisfying lunch or dinner. We use a whole-wheat baguette, but whole-wheat buns would work as well, if you prefer. Any color of beet would be delicious—try golden or Chioggia if you want to avoid the stains that red beets can leave.
Feta, Egg & Spinach Breakfast Taco
Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Gabriel Greco
It doesn’t get easier than this healthy breakfast taco that’s ready in just five minutes. Kale or arugula will work just as well if you don’t have spinach on hand. If you want an over-hard egg instead, and notice the egg is browning too quickly, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to help steam the egg and set the yolk faster.
Ham & Spinach Quiche

This ham and spinach quiche is ideal for any meal, from brunch to dinner and all the moments in between. This quiche skips the crust, making it incredibly easy to pull together even on short notice. Swap out the Cheddar cheese for Gruyère or use Swiss chard in place of the spinach for a slightly different spin.
Anti-Inflammatory Raspberry & Spinach Smoothie
Photographer: Jen Causey
Start your day off right with this tasty smoothie featuring anti-inflammatory ingredients. Spinach provides antioxidants that help eliminate damaging free radicals, while raspberries contain polyphenols that have their own anti-inflammatory effects. If you prefer your smoothie a touch sweeter, feel free to add an additional date.
Chicken Piccata Meatballs
Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Lauren McAnelly, Prop stylist: Gabriel Greco
These chicken piccata meatballs are a delightful twist on the classic Italian dish, chicken piccata. Instead of traditional chicken breast cutlets, these meatballs are made from ground chicken seasoned with lemon, herbs and Parmesan cheese. The classic lemony sauce with capers, chicken broth, white wine and butter comes together as the meatballs bake. Enjoy as an appetizer, or as a main course over pasta or rice.
Roasted Miso-Garlic Cauliflower Bites
Matthew Francis
Tender cauliflower florets are coated in a flavorful blend of mild white miso and garlic, complemented by the sweetness and subtle heat of sweet chili sauce, in this irresistible side dish. This miso-garlic cauliflower is the perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken or fish. Alternatively, serve it atop rice or noodles for a simple and delicious vegetarian meal option.
