WEEK 1
Some weeks you just don’t have enough time, or motivation, to cook dinner. Some people enjoy cooking all the time, while others find it a hassle. Believe it or not, we get it and we experience the same kind of weeks. That’s why we planned a week of meals for you that each take less than a Friends episode to put together. We included dramatic looking dishes that are actually so easy to make with a variety of flavors, nutrients and protein sources.
Breakfast
Orange Cranberry Overnight Oats recipe is the best make-ahead breakfast. It’s creamy (without any dairy) and bursting with seasonal orange, cranberry and pecan flavor. This vegan-friendly and gluten-free overnight oats recipe packs a lot of fiber into your breakfast to leave you satisfied all morning long!
Lunches
Sweet, salty and with a hint of spice, this Korean Ground Beef recipe is a take on the classic dish of beef bulgogi. Prepared in well under 20 minutes, these Korean Ground Beef Bowls are simple to prepare, so delicious and absolutely perfect for meal prep!
Dinner 1
Cajun Blackened Fish with Easy Avocado and Corn Salsa
This Cajun Blackened Fish is a simple and delicious weeknight dinner. This extravagant dish is so easy to make, requiring just a few spices, a piece of fish and a hot pan! Serve it with our refreshing and flavorful Corn Avocado Salsa recipe and you’ve got dinner in under 20 minutes! Salmon is loaded with omega 3 fatty-acids which have been strongly correlated with decreased symptoms in anxiety in recent studies.
To reduce waste and save time:
- If corn isn’t in season, use frozen corn! Just remember to defrost prior to assembling the Corn Avocado Salsa.
- Save the leftover ½ red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro for Dinner 2’s Simple Weeknight Healthy Taco Salad!
