Half Baked Harvest
Monday: One Skillet Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken And Orzo
With creamy goat cheese stuffed inside, the chicken practically melts in your mouth. To keep the dish extra healthy, swap the orzo for quinoa or farro—they have similar cooking times.

A New Way to Food

Thursday: Cauliflower And Plantain Tacos With Lemony Pesto Dressing
Fish tacos? Been there, done that. This new and unusual topping has us psyched to stock up on corn tortillas. (If you can’t find plantains, sweet potatoes are a great substitute.)
What’s Gaby Cooking
Friday: Spring Pasta Carbonara
Peas, scallions, lemon, mint. This pasta is topped with all things fresh and green—not your typical coma-inducing marinara.
Spoon Fork Bacon
Saturday: Spicy Vegan Chickpea Cauliflower Curry
PSA: Chickpeas are having a moment. And they just so happen to get on very well with our favorite veggie, cauliflower. This dish gets cooked quickly on the stove in a single skillet.
Pinch of Yum
Sunday: Garlic Basil Chicken With Tomato Butter Sauce
Just seven simple ingredients go into this hearty, comforting meal. We love really piling on the fresh basil to make a mini herb salad.
