Pasta in a Creamy Artichoke and Saffron Sauce
The saffron does all the work for you in this dish—you’ll freak out when you take your first bite and actually taste how easy this was to make. Since you now have saffron on hand, next time you’re making regular old rice, add a pinch of saffron and your rice will taste extraordinary.
Turkey Burgers with Horseradish and Cheddar Cheese
I am the self-proclaimed “Queen of Burgers”—this is probably my 140th burger recipe! Ground meat is so versatile and accessible. Who doesn’t love a good burger? This one combines lean ground turkey breast with spicy horseradish, sharp Cheddar, and tangy cranberry sauce. Yum-o!
Steak, Fried Onions, and Potatoes Salad Bowl with Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
This is like a steak dinner with onion rings, steak fries, and salad with blue cheese dressing, all chopped up in a bowl together. If you skipped lunch, this is your payoff.
Turkey Tacos
This one is fun for kids, like me. Serve as is, or accompany with black beans or refried beans and plain or flavored rice, prepared according to the package directions.
Broccoli Frittata with Goat Cheese and BLT Bread Salad
This meal is another B, L, D: good for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner.
Ginger-Soy Chicken on Shredded Lettuce
Here’s a low-carb-lover’s delight! Have two servings —it’s good for you!
Chicago Dog Salad
Eat well, eat more! I cut out the bun so I can have more dogs and veggies with less guilt. Chicago-style dogs are my favorites, with pickles, tomatoes, onions, mustard, and slaw on top. This salad reverses the order and piles the veggies up high underneath the dogs.
Crab Salad Lettuce Wraps
Choose your wrap: the Bibb will be soft, the iceberg will be crunchy. Like the difference between flour and corn tortillas.
