5 Weekly Meal Ideas from Chefs & "Foodies" Online
Spicy Grilled Calamari Salad
This salad has all the trappings of the much-adored appetizer—crunch from the peanuts, tomatoes, a bit of spice—but so much more. We don't want to promise that you'll never go back to the fried stuff after this, but it's a distinct possibility.
Roasted Fennel, Tomatoes, and White Beans
This roasted fennel, tomatoes and white beans dish has become a favorite weeknight dinner in our house. Sliced fennel is sautéed in olive oil, mixed with cherry tomatoes and lots of garlic and oregano, and roasted in the oven until tender and caramelized. Canned white beans are added for the last five minutes of cooking time, yielding a hearty and nutritious vegan meal that will have everyone going back for seconds.
Crispy Smashed Buffalo Potatoes
Crispy Smashed Buffalo Potatoes are crazy good! This recipe is like a mash up of buffalo wings, nachos, and tater tots in the best way possible!
Simple Lemon Sugar Burnt Basque Cheesecake
Simple Lemon Sugar Burnt Basque Cheesecake…just what your weekend needs. This cheesecake has a crinkly, flaky, sweet top with a creamy lemony cheesecake filling. Its deep brown top has cracks all around for a rustic, but pretty, and very unique look. It’s really not like any other cheesecake you’ve had before. It’s flaky on the outside, but the inside is creamy, rich, and bursting with notes of springy lemon flavor.
