DinnerKorean beef bowls take 25 minutes to prepare and cook and feature browned 80/20 beef in a sauce made with soy sauce and ginger. I make Korean beef bowls for dinner when I don't have much time because you can mix in other pantry items into the beef bowl.
DessertsUse a 15.25-ounce cake mix box and a 3.9-ounce instant chocolate pudding mix box to make a rich filling for this slow cooker lava cake dessert. This is a recipe I use to make chocolate desserts without turning on the oven. Chocolate chips will not melt into the cake but will instead stay on the surface of the cake.
DinnerThese potato taco bowls take 1 hour 10 minutes to prepare, including optional soaking time before cooking. These potato taco bowls with beef and corn use roasted potatoes instead of tortillas. I like adding cold ingredients to taco bowls to add cool flavors and contrast with the hot flavors and heaviness of the dish (I like the mix of cool and hot flavors in this dish).
DinnerBaked tofu burrito bowls take 50 minutes to make, including oven cooking time. I like to have baked tofu burrito bowls for a satisfying vegan dinner during the week after work. I sometimes add roasted peppers and rice and beans with avocado to my burrito bowl for a more traditional-tasting meal.
DinnerThese sheet pan chicken and potato bowls feed four. If I don't have time to prepare everything ahead of time, I dice chicken and potatoes the night before and oven-cook rice while preheating the oven or preparing the bowls for later. Top with lemon juice, garlic, and crumbled feta cheese.
DinnerThis chicken rice bowl recipe takes 30 minutes or less to make and is a quick weeknight meal option if you have leftover cooked rice in the fridge. I add mayonnaise and chili powder to grilled corn and top with lime. Lime pairs well with the warm rice.
Snacks & AppetizersCream of tartar is a key ingredient for snickerdoodle cookies. It adds flavor and texture to snickerdoodle cookies. Combining cream of tartar with cinnamon sugar coating results in a snickerdoodle cookie with a crunchy exterior and chewy interior. No chilling is required before baking snickerdoodle cookies made with dough.
LunchFor make-your-own tacos, precook beef filling. Precook the corn tortillas and assemble tacos when you are ready to serve. You can also cook and wrap individual tacos ahead of time. Dorado tacos consist of a seasoned beef filling and Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar cheeses in a fried corn tortilla shell.
Snacks & AppetizersChoose cottage cheese with a neutral dairy flavor to make this simple queso. In addition to cottage cheese, ingredients for this queso recipe include cheddar cheese, taco seasoning mix, nutritional yeast, and other ingredients typically eaten with chips and raw vegetables.
BreakfastThis 6-minute cottage cheese avocado toast recipe serves 3 and uses simple ingredients for a quick breakfast, lunch, or snack. Toppings of mashed ripe avocado and whole-milk cottage cheese provide creamy, tangy flavor, and red pepper flakes and microgreens add fresh texture and spice to toasted bread.
DinnerFifty minutes are required to prepare garlic Parmesan pork chops. One-skillet cooking makes a fast weeknight meal. Pork chops are dredged with flour and added to a white-wine cream sauce with Parmesan cheese. The pork chops are crispy on the outside.
DinnerChoose pale, dry chicken breasts cut into boneless pieces that cook quickly and retain juiciness in Mediterranean Chicken Stir-Fry. Bell peppers and zucchini chopped into pieces and cherry tomatoes cut in half add texture. Oregano, garlic, parsley, and other seasonings and lemon juice add flavor to each bite.
