]]> Now that warmer days are here, lighter meals like soup and salads can make a return to the menu. This fresh and tasty salad provides you with several portions of fruit and vegetables. Thanks to its high protein and fiber content, you won’t get hungry in the mid-afternoon, and it’s light enough to serve as a side for dinner. Toasting the nuts yourself will really bring out the flavor and crunch, but you can buy roasted nuts if you’re short on time.

Ingredients (to serve 4):

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup of green olives, pitted
  • 1 romaine lettuce
  • 1 1/2 cups of fresh spinach or similar leaves
  • 1 cup of baby tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • A small bunch of fresh basil
  • 2 tins of butter beans
  • Salt and pepper, for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup of toasted nuts

Instructions:

  1. Carefully slice all of the olives in half.
  2. Slice all of the tomatoes into halves or quarters.
  3. Shred the fresh basil and mix this into the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove the stones from the avocados, mash the flesh with a fork.
  5. Drain the beans and rinse them under cold running water.
  6. Finely shred the lettuce and tear around half of the spinach leaves in half (don’t worry about being too precise).
  7. In a large salad bowl, mix the spinach, lettuce, beans and tomatoes. Pour over the oil and mix again.
  8. Serve the salad into bowls or plates, then top with a quarter of the mashed avocado and a quarter of the nuts.

]]> Is there anything that fits the label of “comfort food” better than macaroni and cheese? A classic combination enjoyed by all ages, mac & cheese is a staple dish in kitchens around the world, but making it from scratch can be a labor of love. Fortunately, the days of neon yellow instant mac are far behind us, and there are now plenty of boxed options that are just as good as homemade. Here are a few you’ll always find in our pantries:

Goodles

Who said mac & cheese can’t be nutritious? Goodles gives a classic a healthy upgrade by creating products that are high in protein, fiber, and 21 different plant-based nutrients. With a variety of flavors like black truffle and cheddar, cacio e pepe, and hatch chile popper, you’d never know you were eating anything other than regular pasta—perfect for picky eaters or anyone looking for a fun and easy meal.

Cabot

Cabot Creamery has been making cheese for over 100 years , so we think it’s only natural that they’ve decided to break into the mac & cheese market. Its new line contains 6 flavors including Yellow Cheddar, Pepper Jack, and 4 cheese Italian, all made with organic pasta and no artificial ingredients.

Annie’s

In a world once dominated by blue boxes containing packets of neon yellow “powdered cheese products,” Annie’s was one of the first brands to create a less-processed alternative. Most iconic is its Shells & White Cheddar, though the company also offers a variety of other traditional and even vegan flavors.

]]> It’s one thing to make dinner once in a while, but doing it every night, seven days a week can certainly get taxing after a while. When you’re a parent, this is pretty much a guaranteed thing, and after a while, you start running out of ideas. If you’re in this particular position, here are three great weeknight dinner ideas.

One-Pan Chicken

Have you ever heard of One-Pan Chicken? You might not recognize the name, but you’ve probably done this countless times before. Gather your chicken thighs or drumsticks, along with whatever you’re seasoning it with, as well as a bunch of veggies, and roast it in a pan for 30 minutes. Easy!

Veggie Stir-Fry

Another meal that’s super healthy and also incredibly easy to prepare is veggie stir-fry. You might think that stir-fry sounds more complex than you’d like to tackle, but when you really think about it, you’re just tossing a bunch of veggies into a pan. Ten minutes later, and you’re done.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Here’s yet another recipe that sounds a lot fancier than it actually is. This popular pasta dish is subtle but brims with decadent flavor. After preparing pasta al dente, mix it with minced garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese. That’s pretty much it!

]]> The instant pot makes cooking so easy. You can make all of your favorite recipes with barely any clean up. This winter, use your instant pot to make these delicious Italian classics for the best warm and filling meals.

Lasagna

This lasagna cooked in the instant pot will be on your table in just 30 minutes. Layer the pasta with some tomato sauce, ground meat, and fresh spinach in a spring form pan and put it in the instant pot. Top it with cheese and you have an easy, tasty lasagna.

Chicken Cacciatore

This chicken dish is packed with flavor and is generally slow-cooked—in the instant pot, it’s ready in half the time and tastes just as good. You can serve it over pasta, zoodles, or rice and enjoy it for a few days as it is easy to refrigerate.

Bolognese

No need to stand over a hot sauce waiting for your Bolognese to be ready. The instant pot will make it in minutes. Tomato and ground beef, some herbs and spices, and a drop of wine make this recipe easy and delicious.

Polenta

Polenta is traditionally made by adding cornmeal to boiling salted water and stirring the pot for a very long time. With the instant pot, it will do the work for you, and you will get the same creamy texture. Pair the polenta with some Italian sausage or pork ribs.

Pasta

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk5myBFHvUI/

Every pasta bake starts, of course, with pasta. You can choose whatever type you like, but just make sure to cook it exactly to al dente, because if it goes for too long, you’ll end up with mushy pasta.

Sauce

Whether you’re using a red sauce, cream sauce, pesto, or a combination – you always want to cover the pasta in it before it goes into a baking dish. That will ensure that every piece is coated properly. If you want to use more than one, coat the pasta in one and then use the other as part of the layers.

Layers

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1atWalHXd/

No matter if you’re a cheese fanatic, a veggie lover, or a sauce maniac, the layers in a pasta bake make all the difference. Start with a layer of pasta, then at least one layer or more of something else, and then more pasta. It’s always fun to add a layer of cheese on top, and that type can be up to you.
