Garlicky, lemony, buttery shrimp scampi on the table in 15 minutes — and it tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant. 🍋 🍤

This Healthy Shrimp Scampi is lighter than the classic but just as delicious, with 23 grams of protein per serving and only one pan to clean up.

One pan. 35 minutes. A perfectly unreasonable amount of melted mozzarella.
Creamy tomato turkey orzo is the dinner I make when I’ve got nothing left to give, and everyone still expects to be fed. Sun-dried tomatoes do most of the heavy lifting. I take full credit anyway.

Sunday meal prep tip that has changed my weeknights in a big way: cook one big batch of protein at the start of the week and build everything else around it. 🙌

Mojo chicken, grilled steak, BBQ chicken, tuna salad — or even a rotisserie chicken for the extra-harried weeks! — whatever sounds good. Slice it over salads, tuck it into wraps, pile it on bowls.

One cook session, five easy dinners. What protein are you prepping this week? 👇

Sunday morning calls for something special — and this Brownie Baked Oatmeal delivers. 🍫

Rich, chocolatey, and surprisingly wholesome, it's equally great fresh out of the oven for brunch or prepped tonight for easy breakfasts all week long.

One reader called it "definitely a keeper" after making it exactly as written. Hard to argue with that!

Warm, custardy, and loaded with sweet cinnamon-spiced peaches — this Peach Bourbon Bread Pudding is the dessert you absolutely need to make this weekend. 🍑

Buttery brioche soaked in a silky custard with a little bourbon for good measure, served hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It's pure summertime indulgence and so worth it.
