Chicken Burrito Bowl

Chicken rubbed with spices is paired with a warm bean and corn salad, along with shredded romaine lettuce and cheese. A scoop of guacamole and a squirt of lime sour cream are the highlight. The recipe yields a large batch of guacamole. If you’re not that big of an avocado fan, feel free to halve the amount.

Recipe

This burrito bowl recipe is very easy to follow and even more delicious. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The sweet and citrusy flavors of the sauces blend very well with the savory and spicy flavors of the chicken and grains, and the textures of all the foods complement each other very well.

This recipe also accommodates dietary requirements like gluten and dairy free as you can easily add or omit certain ingredients and still end up with an amazing dish.–Evan ​​Z.

Kohlrabi and pear salad

Prepared with crisp raw kohlrabi, ripe pear, mixed veggies, and a salty, sour soy-lime dressing, this Kohlrabi and Pear Salad is an easy, surprising, and healthy salad.

Recipe

Having some gorgeous turnip greens and pears on hand from the farmer’s market, I was thrilled to stumble upon this recipe that uses both in their natural state! I loved the combination of the sweet cubes of ripe, tender pear with the crisp texture of the kohlrabi and the drizzle of the tart-sweet vinaigrette.

I had some peppery arugula on hand, so these are the greens I used as the base for the salad. I highly recommend this salad! It tasted great as an accompaniment to a quick, spicy shrimp and peanut pan with rice noodles.–Anna S

Salmon with cherry tomatoes

This salmon with blistered cherry tomatoes is quick, easy to make and healthy. In other words: perfect weekday rate.

Recipe

This salmon and cherry tomato dish is such a lovely recipe! Made for a quick, easy dinner full of bright flavors. Will do it again

After reading the testers’ reviews I felt free to pursue some ideas so we can make this at home using the ingredients. We were missing tomatoes and fresh basil but it turned out great although we would have enjoyed the full amount of tomatoes and basil. My garlic was browning quickly (probably my oil was too hot) so I removed it from the pan before I got blisters on the tomatoes.

We tossed our tomato mix with some blanched sugar snap peas and served with orzo. A healthy meal on the table in less than 25 minutes after I turn on the oven to preheat.– Maria Johanna

Quinoa Chili

This quinoa chili is a vegetarian treat. Quinoa, black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, onions, and garlic are simmered in a broth with chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and unsweetened cocoa. Piled on top are diced avocados, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, crumbled pita chips, and cilantro leaves.

Recipe

this is that best vegetarian chili I’ve ever done it (and I’ve been cooking vegetarian since the late 70’s). It’s hearty, rich and fragrant. I love the combination of cinnamon and unsweetened cocoa.

This recipe is now a staple in my home and I’ll definitely be checking out her cookbook.–Randi K.
