This Week's Meals

Stuffed Peppers (Turkey, Beef, or Veg)
Can prep filling ahead of time. Choose colorful bell peppers for visual appeal. If using turkey instead of beef, cooking time may vary slightly.
Best Chicken Tacos
Chicken thighs cook faster than breasts and stay more tender. Can prep taco meat ahead and reheat. Great for involving your 4-year-old in assembly.
Rice, Chicken & Broccoli Teriyaki Bowls
Start rice first as it takes longest. Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking. Teriyaki sauce can be made ahead and stored.
Garlicky grains with asparagus and sausage
Look for pre-cooked chicken sausage to save time. Trim woody ends from asparagus. This dish is great for using leftover grains.
Pesto Pasta with Turkey Meatballs
Can use store-bought pesto or make fresh. Turkey meatballs can be baked while pasta cooks. Fresh spinach wilts quickly at the end.
