Ingredients

  • salmon – you’ll want four 6 oz evenly sized filets of wild salmon with the skin on. I usually get my salmon fresh from the grocer, but feel free to use frozen filets too. Just make sure the salmon is thawed if you are using frozen filets.
  • olive oil – I like to use a good olive oil that doesn’t have to be expensive, just make sure it’s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor.
  • honey – adds sweetness to the sauce without using refined sugars, and makes a nice glaze. Feel free to use maple syrup or other natural sweetener in place of the honey.
  • soy sauce – I always use lower sodium soy sauce as I personally think regular soy sauce is just too salty for my taste. You can also use tamari or coconut aminos to make this gluten-free.
  • apple cider vinegar – the acidity really helps to balance out the sweetness of the honey, you could also use rice vinegar or white wine vinegar.
  • garlic – you can use fresh chopped cloves garlic cloves or minced garlic from the jar.
  • seasonings – combination of paprika, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper.
  • green onions – the perfect garnish to top the salmon that adds color and flavor.

The red pepper flakes in this sauce really help bring some heat to this hot honey glaze, but for an extra kick and even more spicy flavor, try adding a little bit of sriracha or a pinch of cayenne pepper in with the other sauce ingredients!

How to Make Hot Honey Glazed Salmon

  • Prepare the salmon. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and let the salmon come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels and arrange salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Season salmon. Brush the salmon with olive oil and evenly season with salt, pepper, paprika and chili powder.
  • Make the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until sauce has thickened.
  • Coat the salmon. Top the salmon with half of the hot honey glaze, reserving the rest of the sauce for later.
  • Bake salmon. Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, adding more glaze on top of the salmon halfway through. Salmon is cooked when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should read 125-130 degrees F for medium and 140 degrees F for fully cooked salmon.
  • Serve and enjoy! Remove from oven with a spatula and spoon any remaining glaze on top right before serving. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top and I also like to drizzle a little extra sauce on top of the veggies as well!

How to Make in the Air Fryer

You can easily make this hot honey glazed salmon in the air fryer by setting it to 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Top with any remaining sauce and serve with rice and veggies for a complete meal!

Tips for Making the Best Salmon

  • Pat the salmon dry – drying the surface of the fresh salmon helps the seasoning stick and prevents excess moisture from diluting the sauce.
  • Use even-sized filets – similar thickness ensures that the salmon cooks evenly. If one piece is thinner, just make sure to check it early.
  • Bake at high heat – cooking the salmon at 400 degrees F is ideal as it cooks the salmon quickly without drying it out.
  • Don’t overcook – this tends to be the biggest mistake people make. Salmon continues to cook slightly after it comes out of the oven so remove it when it is just barely opaque in the center for the most tender texture.
  • For crisper topping – pop the broiler on and broil the salmon for a few minutes right at the end to give the salmon more color and a crisper topping.
  • Let the salmon rest – allowing the moist salmon to rest briefly keeps it juicy and flavorful.

How to Serve

  • Over rice or grains – this hot honey salmon is perfect served over a fluffy bed of rice or grains that soak up all that delicious glaze. Try brown rice, white rice, coconut rice, cauliflower rice or quinoa.
  • Make a salmon bowl – make vibrant salmon bowls loaded with all the fresh toppings! Some great options include shredded carrots, cucumber slices, edamame, avocado and green onions. Don’t forget the lemon slices with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Pair with veggies – this sweet and spicy glaze goes great over roasted vegetables. Some delicious options include roasted brussels sprouts, garlicky green beans, over top of mashed cauliflower, broccoli, bok choy, or these simple sautéed vegetables.
  • Over mashed potatoes – serve over top of my healthy mashed potatoes for a filling, delicious meal.
  • With a fresh salad – for a lighter option, this salmon makes a great protein over your favorite salad with this simple lemon vinaigrette.
  • Build salmon tacos – flake the cooked salmon and tuck it into warm tortillas with all your favorite toppings. The sweet heat of the salmon works great with the bright, crunchy taco toppings.

Prepping and Storage

Leftover salmon can be stored in a sealed, airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, you can either warm in the oven at 300 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or reheat in the microwave until warmed through. This leftover salmon would also taste great cold over a salad!

This has been my favorite banana bread recipe since I was a little girl and I have to give my Grandma ALL the credit. She literally makes the BEST and it was always a staple in her home growing up. This banana bread is so moist and fluffy, incredibly easy to make and is the perfect way to use up those overripe bananas. This has been one of my most popular recipes and always gets rave reviews. Everyone needs a go-to banana bread recipe and I hope this one becomes yours!

Why You’ll Love This

  • Moist and tender – thanks to the overripe bananas, you can expect to get super moist and tender banana bread every single time.
  • Customizable – feel free to add in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, cinnamon for a different flavor or simply keep it classic.
  • Freezer-friendly – this ultra-moist banana bread is perfect for meal prep, future snacks and quick breakfasts.
  • Versatile – I love using this classic banana bread recipe to make muffins, mini muffins, and even mini loaves to gift neighbors and friends.
This is hands down the BEST Banana Bread recipe passed down from my Grandma! Moist, lightly sweet, and packed with rich banana flavor that works for breakfast, a delicious snack or dessert.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • bananas – make sure to use very ripe bananas to get that strong banana flavor and sweetness, the more brown spots the better! This truly makes or breaks a good banana bread recipe.
  • flour – I used all-purpose flour to stick with my Grandma’s original recipe, but you could use whole wheat pastry flour or gluten-free 1 to 1 baking flour.
  • baking soda – this acts as a leavening agent to help the bread rise and keep it soft and fluffy. You could also use baking powder.
  • eggs – helps bing the loaf and gives this banana bread its structure and height.
  • butter – adds richness and helps keep the loaf deliciously moist and fluffy. You’ll want to make sure the butter is nice and soft (not melted butter). You could also use coconut oil in place of the butter, but it will give the bread a different taste.
  • sugar – I used one cup of sugar (I wanted to stick to my Grandma’s original recipe), but you could cut the amount of sugar in half if your bananas are super ripe as that should add enough sweetness. You could also swap out the white sugar for brown sugar, cane sugar, honey, maple syrup or other natural sweetener.
  • sour cream – this helps keep the bread super moist. You could also use plain Greek yogurt as well.
  • vanilla extract – enhances the banana flavor and adds warmth.
  • salt – balances the sweetness and enhances the flavor.

How to Make Banana Bread

This particular recipe makes one standard loaf of bread, but you could also make 3 small loaves (I promise your neighbors will thank you!) or even muffins. See below for the different baking times depending on how you choose to make this.

  1. Mix wet ingredients. Using a stand mixer or hand held electric mixer, mix together softened butter and sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs and mix well. Next add in vanilla, sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and mashed bananas, continuing to blend well.
  2. Add in dry ingredients. While the mixer is on, slowly add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix slowly until completely combined, scraping the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a spatula. If adding any fun mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, feel free to fold them into the banana mixture here.
  3. Bake the bread. Pour the batter into a greased 9×5 loaf pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Bake banana bread in the oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Feel free to lightly tent the bread with aluminum foil halfway through if the top starts to brown too much.
  4. Let the bread cool. Let the bread sit for 10 minutes then remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. Slice the cooled loaf and enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Banana Bread

  • Use very ripe bananas – the darker they are, the more sweetness and moisture they bring. Black-spotted bananas are perfect.
  • Don’t overmix the batter – stir until the flour is just incorporated. Overmixing leads to dense, tough bread.
  • Measure flour correctly – spoon flour into your measuring cup and level it off, don’t scoop! Scooping packs in too much flour and leads to dryness.
  • Toothpick should come out clean – oven times tend to vary so check the center with a toothpick. If it comes out clean with moist crumbs, it’s perfect.
  • Cool completely before slicing – letting the loaf cool completely helps set the crumb and keeps the slices from falling apart.

Variations

  • Flour – feel free to swap out the all-purpose flour for whole wheat pastry flour, whole wheat flour or even gluten-free 1 to 1 baking flour if making GF bread.  I don’t recommend using almond flour or coconut flour in this recipe.
  • Sour cream – you can easily swap out the sour cream and use plain Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree or even more mashed banana.
  • Mix-ins – mix in other fun additions like chocolate chips, chopped nuts such walnuts or pecans for banana nut bread, or even dried fruit or fresh berries.
  • Spices – add warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for a more seasonal bread recipe.

Other Baking Methods

  • If making three smaller loaves, bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes in small loaf pans, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. When making for friends and family members, I like to double this recipe and make 6 small loaves! Perfect for holidays.
  • This recipe also makes delicious banana muffins. Simply distribute the batter into 12 muffin cups sprayed with nonstick spray (or muffin liners) and bake at 350 degrees F for 22 to 25 minutes.
  • Alternatively you can make 24 mini muffins for bite-sized, poppable treats! Just bake these at 350 degrees F for about 18 to 20 minutes.

Prepping and Storage

To Store: This banana bread can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic or foil at room temp for up to 3 days, but make sure to refrigerate after that to keep this longer. This bread will last up to a week in the fridge.

To Freeze: This bread freezes really well too! You can either wrap the whole loaf in plastic wrap, aluminum foil or a freezer-safe bag or you can freeze individual slices. When ready to serve, allow to thaw out overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before slicing. This bread will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • chicken breasts – you’ll need boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, but chicken thighs would work as well.
  • olive oil – I like to use a good olive oil or other neutral oil to brush over the chicken, just make sure it’s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor. 
  • seasoning blend – a mixture of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, kosher salt and black pepper to season the chicken.
  • fresh parsley – garnish at the end to add a pop of color and fresh taste to the chicken.

How Long to Cook Chicken in Air Fryer

Not all chicken breasts are created equal and the cook time will vary depending on the size of your chicken. Below are the cook times when air frying at 375 degrees F, just make sure to flip the chicken halfway through.

  • Smaller breasts (5 to 7 ounces) – 12 to 16 minutes
  • Medium breasts (8 to 10 ounces) – 14 to 18 minutes
  • Large breasts (11 ounces or more) – 18 to 20 minutes

How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Breast

  1. Prep the chicken. Pound out the chicken to even thickness between plastic wrap (if the chicken is very thick) and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Season generously. In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Brush both sides of chicken with olive oil and season chicken evenly with the spice mixture, pressing gently so it sticks.
  3. Air fry. Place chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t overlap) and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken at the halfway point and cook for an additional 6 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken breasts. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F using a meat thermometer and juices run clear.
  4. Rest the chicken. Using tongs, transfer the chicken pieces to a plate. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Don’t skip this step! Resting locks in those juices inside, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful.

How to Brine the Chicken

Brining chicken breasts is a great way to make them juicy, tender and extra flavorful, especially when air frying. It’s a simple step that takes an extra 15 to 30 minutes, but is so worth it in my opinion!

  • Place raw chicken breasts in a mixture of 4 cups water and 4 tablespoons of salt, making sure the chicken is fully submerged.
  • Let the chicken sit in the brine for 15 to 30 minutes (no longer than 1 hour) then rinse the chicken under cold water. Pat with paper towels and season the chicken with the spice mix as directed!

Can You Put Frozen Chicken Breasts in the Air Fryer?

Yes, you sure can! Cooking frozen chicken breasts straight from the freezer is super easy and quick, without drying them out. The seasoning won’t stick right away, but you can season the chicken halfway through.

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F and let it preheat for 3 to 5 minutes. This helps the chicken cook more evenly.
  2. Place frozen chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. This softens the surface so that you can season the chicken properly. Remove the chicken, pat with paper towels and season as directed.
  3. Continue cooking the chicken for 8 to 12 more minutes, flipping once halfway through. Chicken breasts are fully cooked at 165 degrees F in the thickest part.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Chicken

  • Size matters – make sure both chicken breasts are even in size as this makes sure they cook evenly in the air fryer.
  • Don’t skip the oil – this helps the seasoning stick, ensures proper browning and keeps the outside of the chicken from becoming dry in the high heat of the air fryer.
  • Preheat the air fryer – starting with a hot basket helps the chicken sear on contact, which boosts browning and prevents overcooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket – make sure to give the chicken enough space so the hot air can circulate. If they are touching, you’ll get steaming instead of crisping, as well as uneven cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer – pull your chicken out as soon as the internal temperature reaches 165 degree F, as overcooking the chicken will cause it to dry out.
  • Let chicken rest – letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes keeps the juices from pouring out onto the cutting board and keeps it nice and moist.

Did someone say Taco Tuesday?? I am always on the hunt for easy weeknight meals and our family LOVES this Healthy Taco Salad recipe!

We love to meal prep this and enjoy it throughout the week, but this healthy taco salad is also a huge crowdpleaser if serving guests! If you are looking for healthier Mexican food, then this dish has you covered!

Why You’ll Love This

  • Quick and easy – this salad may have a lot of components, but you can easily throw this whole salad together in under 30 minutes!
  • Healthy – made with lean ground turkey, healthy fats, and fresh ingredients that will leave you full and satisfied. A great taco salad to hit your protein goals!

Taco Salad Ingredients

  • ground turkey – I used 93% lean ground turkey and you could go even leaner, but the turkey will be drier and not as flavorful. You could also use ground chicken, lean ground beef or ground pork.
  • lettuce – I used crisp romaine lettuce in this salad. If you aren’t a fan, feel free to use iceberg lettuce, spinach, kale or whatever type of crisp lettuce you like best.
  • veggies – you’ll need grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, fresh corn, avocado, yellow onion or red onion, and green onions.
  • black beans – not only do canned black beans make this salad hearty and more filling, but they are a great source of fiber and potassium. You could also use pinto beans or kidney beans or skip the beans all together.
  • salsa – you can use whatever salsa you like best whether it is a jar purchased from the store or homemade salsa. Try my fresh pico de gallo or this best ever salsa recipe.
  • limes – you’ll need the juice of 1/2 a lime which adds a nice fresh, tangy flavor that really brightens up this whole salad. Make sure to use a fresh lime as bottled lime juice can have a bitter taste. Use extra lime wedges to serve at the end!
  • taco seasoning – you can use a store-bought packet of taco seasoning mix or try my homemade taco seasoning made with a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
  • cilantro – I LOVE the taste of cilantro leaves so I’m pretty heavy-handed. If you’re not a fan of this herb, feel free to use chopped parsley or even basil.
  • cotija cheese – I like adding a little cheese, but feel free to omit if you are dairy-free. You could also swap cotija cheese with shredded Mexican cheese or cheddar cheese.
  • salt + pepper – needed to season the ground turkey.

A good tip to note is that 2 1/2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning equals one seasoning packet. I highly recommend using homemade over store-bought seasoning for the best flavor, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.

How to Make Healthy Taco Salad

  1. Prepare veggies.  Simply wash and chop the romaine lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and avocado with a sharp knife. Then drain and rinse the black beans. Set all this aside.
  2. Brown the turkey.  Drizzle a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chopped yellow onion. Sauté onion until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes, then add the ground turkey. Using a wooden spoon, cook the meat, breaking it up into small pieces, until it begins to crumble and brown. Add the taco seasoning and continue cooking until turkey is browned and completely cooked through.
  3. Make the rest of the filling. Stir in the black beans, corn and salsa, cooking an additional 5 more minutes until heated through. Squeeze in the lime juice and season the meat mixture with salt and pepper, as needed.
  4. Assemble salad. In a large bowl, combine all the salad ingredients. Top with the turkey taco meat (or beef mixture), sprinkle on some cheese and add your favorite toppings such as avocado slices, jalapenos, tortilla strips, guacamole, extra salsa and cilantro.

How to Make Crunchy Tortilla Crisps

You can easily purchase some wonton crisps for this salad, but I love making my own as it gives me total control over the flavor, crunch level and ingredients. Perfect for adding texture to this salad, but I also love them on top of chicken tortilla soup or chili!

  • What you need – all you need are some flour tortillas or corn tortillas, a little olive oil (or avocado oil) spray, salt and any other other spices you want to add. Some great options include chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, lime zest, and Tajín.
  • How to season – cut the flour tortilla into thin strips (1/4-1/2 inch wide) and place directly on a baking sheet or in a bowl. Lightly spray with oil, just enough for the seasoning to stick. Season with whatever you like best (salt is a MUST!) and toss to coat evenly.
  • Make them crunchy – bake the tortilla strips in a single layer in the oven at 375 degrees F for about 7 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Bake until lightly golden and crisp.

Other Additions

The best part of this classic taco salad is that it is completely customizable to your liking! So many favorite taco toppings, variety of textures and the possibilities are endless.

  • Add in more veggies such as snap peas, bell pepper slices, red onions, jalapeños, black olives, shredded zucchini or even asparagus.
  • Switch up the protein by using ground beef, shrimp, salmon or even ground pork, or shredded chicken.
  • Go meatless by using tofu (highly recommend marinating it in some dressing!) or leaving the protein out of this salad all together.
  • Add grains by mixing in brown rice, white rice, cooked quinoa or even cauliflower rice for extra heartiness. A great way to make your own bowls.
  • If you love crunch, swap out the wonton crisps for chopped peanuts, crushed tortilla chips or other nuts for a fun variation.
  • Make it creamy by adding guacamole, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, this delicious creamy avocado ranch dressing or this cilantro lime dressing recipe!

Prepping and Storage

This easy taco salad recipe will last up to 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator stored in a sealed, airtight container. If planning store for later, I don’t recommend assembling the salad until right before eating to keep the lettuce as fresh and crisp as possible.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • chicken – I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, but chicken tenders would work great as well.
  • breadcrumbs – I used whole wheat panko bread crumbs that are needed for that crunchy exterior. You can even lightly toast the breadcrumbs before coating for extra crispness.
  • marinara – I like to use a high-quality marinara that is low in sugar such as Raos tomato sauce or you can make my homemade sauce that our family loves!
  • eggs – needed as a binder to help the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken for that delicious crispy coating.
  • cheese – this recipe uses both freshly grated parmesan cheese and topped with fresh slices of mozzarella cheese. You could also use shredded mozzarella as well.
  • flaxseed meal – adds a boost of nutrition and fiber to the chicken without affecting the taste.
  • fresh basil – adds a pop of color and a fresh finish to the dish right before serving.
  • seasonings – a combination of Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. If you don’t have Italian seasoning, feel free to use a mixture of oregano and basil.

How to Make Baked Chicken Parmesan

  1. Prepare chicken. Slice chicken horizontally and place between layers of plastic wrap. Using a meat tenderizer, meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken cutlets about a 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Make the breading. Time to create a dredging station. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, flaxseed meal, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together eggs until frothy.
  3. Coat the chicken. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash and press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides. Transfer to prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
  4. Bake. Spray the tops of the breaded chicken with cooking spray and bake in the oven at 425 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, until juices run clear and cooked through.
  5. Top with cheese. Once golden brown, spoon about a 1/4 cup of marinara sauce on top each chicken breast with one slice of mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven for 5 to 6 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve and enjoy. Top chicken with fresh basil and serve over cooked spaghetti noodles and extra sauce. Enjoy!

How to Make in the Air Fryer

You can easily make crispy chicken parmesan in the air fryer by setting it to 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Top with sauce and cheese and cook a few more minutes in the air fryer or oven until cheese is melted! Such a great way to get crispy chicken with less oil.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Parmesan

  • Pound chicken evenly – even thickness ensures the chicken cooks uniformly and stays juicy. You’ll want to aim for 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Pat the chicken dry – this is an important step to help the egg and breadcrumb mixture to stick properly.
  • Don’t over-sauce – topping with too much marinara sauce can make the crust soggy. I recommend spooning just enough to coat the top of the chicken before adding the cheese.
  • Broil at the end – the best way to get that bubbly, golden cheese finish, broil for 1 to 2 minutes right at the end of baking. Just watch carefully so the chicken doesn’t burn.
  • Let chicken rest – allowing the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving really locks in those juices.

Variations

  • Gluten-free – to make this gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
  • Low-carb – to lower the carbs in this dish, swap the breadcrumbs for almond flour mixed with extra parmesan cheese.
  • Vegetarian – try my recipe for eggplant parmesan that you can make in the air fryer or baked in the oven.

How to Serve

  • Spaghetti – this is the classic way to serve chicken parmesan on top of pasta tossed in warm marinara sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
  • Veggies – zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash are lighter options with more nutritional benefits and lower carbs.
  • Sandwich – throw it on toasted ciabatta or hoagie roll with extra marinara sauce, cheese and some red pepper flakes for a delicious crispy chicken parm sandwich.
  • Side salad – serve chicken parmigiana with this healthy Caesar salad or this crisp chopped salad.
  • Family style – double or triple this recipe if serving a crowd and arrange the baked chicken on a large serving platter with pasta noodles in a separate bowl.

Prepping and Storage

Leftover chicken parmesan can be stored in a sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, warm in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 to 15 minutes until heated through. You could also reheat in the microwave, but this may soften the crust.

Ingredients You’ll Need

How to Make Lentil Stew

  • Sauté the onion.  Drizzle olive oil in a large dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat and sauté onion for 3 to 4 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  • Let the soup simmer.  Add in the rest of the ingredients (except for the salt) and bring to a rapid boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 20 to 30 minutes, until lentils are cooked through and not falling apart.
  • Serve and enjoy! Remove the stew from the heat, season with salt and top with fresh parsley. Ladle soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or warm naan, if desired.

Why Add Salt at the End?

So here’s my little tip to make perfectly tender, non-mushy lentils. Bring everything to rapid boil in a large pot (except for the salt). Turn the heat down super low so that the stew simmers (to just barely a bubble) without covering. Allow the lentils to simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes uncovered until they are cooked through, but not falling apart. Take them off of heat and THEN add in your salt. Adding salt right at the very end helps stop the cooking process and makes them come out perfect!

Tips for the Best Lentil Stew

  • Rinse lentils well – rinsing the lentils under cold water removes excess starch and any debris. This simple step improves the texture of the lentils and helps keep the broth from becoming cloudy.
  • Cut sweet potatoes evenly – cutting the sweet potatoes in uniform pieces ensures they will cook evenly in the stew.
  • Don’t rush the simmer – once the stew comes to a boil, make sure to reduce it to a gentle simmer as slow cooking the stew allows the flavors to full develop. This also prevents the lentils from splitting and turning mushy.
  • Adjust thickness – feel free to add more broth if you prefer a soupier stew or simmer longer for a thicker texture. Letting the stew sit for 10 minutes before serving will also help thicken the stew.
  • Add salt at the end – this is a simple trick to ensure you get perfect lentils in the stew. Salting too early can cause affect the pectin in lentils causing them to become tough.

How to Customize this Stew

  • Add leafy greens – mix in spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for a boost of color and nutrition.
  • More veggies – along with leafy greens, you could also add in some additional vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, broccoli or even tomatoes to add some acidity and richness to the stew.
  • Extra protein – to make this stew more filling, you could add chickpeas, white beans or even cubed tofu or tempeh for additional protein.
  • Make it creamy – for a richer, creamier stew, feel free to stir in some coconut milk or coconut cream near the end of cooking.

  • Make it heartier – serve this sweet potato lentil soup over brown rice or quinoa for an extra filling meal.
  • Brighten it up – finish this lentil and sweet potato stew with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving for a fresh, bright flavor.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • salmon – you’ll want four 6 oz evenly sized filets of wild-salmon with the skin on. I usually get my salmon fresh from the grocer, but feel free to use frozen filets too.  Just make sure the salmon is thawed if you are using frozen filets.
  • butter – I used unsalted butter which is the base of this sauce. Butter adds richness and helps keep the salmon moist as it bakes.
  • garlic – you can use fresh chopped cloves garlic or minced garlic from the jar.
  • lemon – this brightens the dish and balances the richness of the butter. Just make sure to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Dijon mustard – adds even more flavor and zip that enhances the butter sauce.
  • fresh parsley – this garnish adds a pop of color and a fresh taste to the salmon dish.
  • salt + pepper – needed to season the salmon and add flavor.

How to Make Garlic Butter Baked Salmon

  1. Prepare the salmon. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and let the salmon come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels and arrange salmon filets skin side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously season with salt and pepper.
  2. Coat the salmon. In a small bowl, melt butter and stir in minced garlic, lemon juice and Dijon mustard until all combined. Spoon or brush the mixture over top of each salmon filet so that each piece is completely covered. Top each filet with half a slice of lemon.
  3. Bake salmon. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Baked Salmon

  • Pat the salmon dry – drying the surface of the salmon helps the seasoning stick and prevents excess moisture from diluting the sauce.
  • Use even-sized filets – similar thickness ensures that the salmon cooks evenly. If one piece is thinner, just make sure to check it early.
  • Bake at high heat – cooking the salmon at 400 degrees F is ideal as it cooks the salmon quickly without drying it out.
  • Don’t overcook – this tends to be the biggest mistake people make. Salmon continues to cook slightly after it comes out of the oven so remove it when it is just barely opaque in the center for the most tender texture.
  • Let the salmon rest – allowing the salmon to rest briefly keeps it juicy and flavorful.

Prepping and Storage

Leftover salmon can be stored in a sealed, airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, you can either warm in the oven at 300 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or reheat in the microwave until warmed through. This leftover salmon would also taste great cold over a salad!

You'll love this Healthy Beef and Broccoli recipe made with tender flank steak, crisp broccoli and a savory garlic ginger sauce. A quick and easy weeknight dinner that tastes better than take-out and comes together in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • flank steak – a lean and flavorful cut that becomes tender when sliced thinly against the grain. It really soaks up this sauce perfectly and cooks quickly.
  • broccoli – you’ll need about 3 cups of broccoli florets and feel free to use fresh or frozen broccoli.
  • olive oil – I like to use a good olive oil to sauté the steak and veggies that doesn’t have to be expensive, just make sure it’s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor. 
  • garlic – you can use fresh chopped cloves garlic or minced garlic from the jar.
  • ginger – adds a little zip and really balances out the richness of the sauce. If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can substitute a half teaspoon of ground ginger into the sauce.
  • green onions – adds a boost of flavor and a pop of color.
  • salt + black pepper – needed to season the flank steak and add flavor.
  • sauce – a delicious mixture of soy sauce (I use low sodium soy sauce), beef broth, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and cornstarch to thicken.

How to Make Beef and Broccoli

  1. Prepare the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, honey, sesame oil and red pepper flakes. In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry and add to the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
  2. Cook the meat. In a large skillet over high heat, drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the beef strips in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Sauté the beef for 3 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. Sauté the broccoli. Turn the heat down to medium and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add in the broccoli florets, garlic and ginger and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, partially covered with a lid, until broccoli are slightly tender, but still crisp.
  4. Toss everything together. Add the steak back to the pan and pour in the prepared stir fry sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce has slightly thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in the green onions.
  5. Serve. We love spooning this beef and broccoli over rice, but you could serve with cauliflower rice, noodles or enjoy all on its own!

Tips for the Best Beef and Broccoli

  • Prep ingredients first – this beef and broccoli cooks quickly, so I like to chop and measure everything ahead of time so I can quickly throw this meal together.
  • Thinly slice the steak – this helps the steak cook evenly and really soak up all that sauce. Just make sure you slice against the grain to keep the beef super tender.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan – I recommend cooking the beef strips in batches if your pan isn’t large enough. Overcrowding traps steam and prevents caramelization which is what gives the steak flavor.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce – I find that regular soy sauce is way too salty for my liking, so lower sodium soy sauce is perfect in this dish. You could also substitute with coconut aminos or tamari if gluten-free.
  • Taste and adjust – this garlicky stir fry sauce is one of my favorites, but feel free to taste and adjust the sauce as needed so it’s to your liking.
  • Serving suggestions – this beef and broccoli tastes great served over brown rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice or even noodles.

Variations

  • Make it gluten-free – you can easily swap out the soy sauce and use tamari or coconut aminos to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Make it spicy – add in extra red pepper flakes, dash of cayenne pepper or chili garlic sauce for even more flavor and added spice.
  • Low-carb option – we love serving this over white rice or brown rice, but feel free to enjoy with cauliflower rice or even zucchini noodles for a lower carb option.
  • Vegetarian – swap out the beef for tofu, tempeh or even your favorite noodles for a meatless option.
  • Extra veggies – you could also add in snap peas, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots or mushrooms for extra nutrition.

Prepping and Storage

To Prep: You can pre-slice the beef, chop up the broccoli florets and prepare the sauce the day before and store separately until ready to cook.

To Store: Beef and broccoli can be stored in a sealed, airtight container for 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator. You can easily reheat leftovers in a skillet over medium-low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Feel free to add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen up the sauce.

How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup

  1. Sauté the veggies. In a large soup pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté onion, carrots and celery until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. Build the soup. Add in the chicken broth along with the rest of the ingredients (except for the noodles) and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover slightly and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
  3. Shred chicken and add noodles. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and shred using two forks. While shredding the chicken, add the egg noodles to the pot and cook until just al dente.
  4. Serve and enjoy! Remove from heat and add he shredded chicken back into the pot. Taste and add more seasonings, if needed. Stir in the fresh chopped parsley, ladle into bowls and enjoy!

How to Make in the Crock Pot

In a 6-quart slow cooker, add the chicken and rest of the ingredients (except for the egg noodles), cover and place on high for 3 to 4 hours or low 6 to 8 hours. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon or tongs and shred with two forks. I recommend boiling the noodles separately to ensure they don’t get mushy in the crock pot. Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker along with cooked egg noodles, serve and enjoy!

Variations

  • Make it creamy – to make creamy chicken noodle soup, feel free to add in some heavy cream, coconut cream, cream cheese or mix in a dollop of sour cream before serving.
  • Adjust the spice – you can easily adjust the spice level of this soup by using mild, medium or hot enchilada sauce. You could also add in chopped jalapeno, chopped poblano pepper or even a dash of hot sauce for more heat.
  • Switch up protein – you can use rotisserie chicken for a simple short cut when making this soup, or feel free to use turkey, ground beef, shrimp or even chickpeas for a hearty vegetarian option.
  • Add more veggies – boost the nutrition and flavor with extra vegetables such as zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, spinach or kale.

Prepping and Storage

Leftover chicken noodle soup will last in your refrigerator in a sealed, airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days, but is best enjoyed in the first few days. Please keep in mind that the noodles will continue to absorb the liquid the longer it sits in the fridge, so you may need to add a little splash of chicken broth to the leftover soup before reheating on the stove or in the microwave.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • chickpeas – the star of this recipe and creates a smooth, creamy texture while adding protein and fiber. I like to remove the skins of the chickpeas which makes the hummus even creamier!
  • tahini – adds richness and a subtle nuttiness that balances the sweetness and enhances the overall creaminess of the hummus.
  • peanut butter – deepens the flavor and pairs perfectly with the chocolate flavors. Feel free to use any type of nut butter you prefer.
  • cocoa powder – I used unsweetened cocoa powder to give this hummus that deep chocolate richness.
  • espresso powder – really enhances the chocolate flavor in this recipe.
  • maple syrup – naturally sweetens the hummus without using any refined sugar. You could also use honey or agave if you don’t have maple syrup.
  • milk – helps thin out the hummus mixture to get that perfect dipping consistency. Any type of milk will work in this recipe.
  • chocolate chips – I used these Lily’s chocolate chips to melt into the mixture which are sweetened with stevia making the sugar content really low.
  • vanilla extract – adds a boost of flavor and helps enhance the chocolate.
  • salt – essential for balancing the sweetness and making all these flavors pop.

How to Make Chocolate Hummus

  1. Prepare the chickpeas. To get the creamiest hummus, first we need to remove the skins from the chickpeas. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and place them in a bowl of cold water. Using your fingers, gently rub the chickpeas together to remove the skins. The skins will float to the top of the water and can be removed with a slotted spoon. Give the chickpeas a final rinse under cold water to remove any remaining skins.
  2. Make the chocolate mixture. In a small saucepan, combine tahini, peanut butter, maple syrup, milk and chocolate chips. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
  3. Blend the ingredients. Combine the chickpeas, chocolate mixture, cocoa powder, vanilla, espresso powder and salt in a food processor or high-powdered blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, feel free to add in more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you’ve reached the desired consistency.
  4. Chill and serve. Transfer the chocolate hummus to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and the texture to set. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers. I like to top mine with a little shaved chocolate!

How to Serve

  • fresh fruit – we love serving this with fresh strawberries, banana slices, apple slices, and raspberries as they pair perfectly with the rich chocolate flavor and make a nutritious option.
  • graham crackers – make this a s’mores-inspired snack without the guilt and feel free to serve with some marshmallows too.
  • pretzels – who doesn’t love a sweet and salty combo and pretzels taste amazing with this chocolate hummus.
  • waffles or pancakes – use it as a healthier chocolate spread for a delicious breakfast or brunch.
  • toast – this would be especially good spread on toast with sliced bananas or strawberries on top.

You can serve this as part of a dessert board with mixed fruit, crackers and a sprinkle of extra chocolate chips or shaved chocolate on top for presentation!

Prepping and Storage

To Store: This chocolate hummus can be stored in a sealed, airtight container for 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator. The hummus will thicken slightly as it chills so I recommend giving this a good stir before serving or you can let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften back up to a creamy, dippable consistency.

To Freeze: You can freeze this chocolate hummus, however the texture may change slightly after thawing. If you are planning to freeze, transfer to a freezer-safe container and store up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then stir or re-blend briefly in your food processor or blender to restore creaminess.
