☕️ Bite-Sized Sundays: 5 weeknight dinners with 25g of protein or more


Happy Sunday, Friends.

This week: Five dinners that are quick to make and high in protein.

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." - Virginia Woolf

I think about protein at dinner more than I used to, maybe you do too? Not as a diet. I just want a dinner that keeps me full. These five all have 25g or more per serving, and none takes more than 45 minutes.
​
These recipes are fast because they use everyday ingredients and efficient techniques: quick sears, cuts that cook in minutes, bacon that bastes chicken as it cooks. Not because they cut corners on flavor.

Pro tip: Set yourself up for success by getting your ingredients prepped before you start cooking. These recipes move quickly once you begin.

Hey there, Over the years, I've posted a whopping 7 versions of piccata (the shrimp version is the one I make the most). What they all share is the sauce: butter, fresh lemon juice, capers. Almost everyone loves it, and it goes with just about anything savory. It always feels a little fancy, but it comes together very quickly. So I decided to develop a recipe for just the sauce. Now you can 'piccata' anything you want, from steamed vegetables to mashed potatoes to rice. 🌟 Recipe of the Week:...

Hey there, You asked for my picks, so here they are. Prime Big Deal Days are today and tomorrow, and I went through all of the deals to find the 10 I'd spend my own money on. It's a mix. A few are big purchases worth waiting for a sale. A few are small enough to add to your cart without a second thought. One is a ceramic pumpkin. Each comes with the reason it made my list.

Happy Sunday, Friends. This week: An ode to sweet potatoes and their remarkable ability to transform any dish they touch. "Make food simple and let things taste of what they are." — Curnonsky Sweet potatoes are one of the most underestimated ingredients in the kitchen. They can be crispy hash browns for breakfast, tender cornbread for dinner, or the secret ingredient that makes soups impossibly silky. Few ingredients adapt so completely to whatever role you need them to play. 🌟 Recipe of the...
