Boneless skinless chicken breasts are marinated in yogurt mixed with a Moroccan-style spice mix of cumin, paprika, and cinnamon, and then simply grilled. The yogurt helps tenderize the breasts and the marinade brings life to otherwise boring boneless skinless chicken. What I love about this recipe is that with just the barest of preparation, you can have a delicious meal within minutes. The yogurt-based marinade is only mildly acidic, so you can leave the chicken in the marinade all day, while it gently tenderizes the meat while infusing it with the spices....

There are many different varieties of sweet potatoes....

Try as I might, I’ve never been a very good meal prepper. I know all the benefits of having meals ready so my family doesn’t eat takeout every night, but I just never landed on a routine that worked for our family. At least that was the case until I fell in love with Souper Cubes silicone trays. You may have heard of these trays from Shark Tank fame! These portioned and lidded containers are part of my weekly routine to reduce food waste in our kitchen....

All you need is canned tuna (packed in olive oil), garlic, extra virgin olive oil, chili pepper flakes, baby arugula, and pasta. You make a simple sauce with with olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, and tuna, and then toss it with the hot cooked pasta and greens. The arugula will wilt in the heat of the pasta.

Food waste is a tremendous problem here in the “Land of Plenty,” a moniker that’s becoming less accurate as supply chain issues continue to impact everything we use, cook, drink, and eat. According to Feeding America, during a normal year, 108 billion pounds of food is wasted in the United States—an embarrassing 40% of all the food created in this country. While this number includes what’s thrown away at restaurants and grocery stores, as well as food tossed by farmers, packers, and manufacturers, there’s a lot discarded unnecessarily at home, too....

While it once seemed impossible to make great cookies without dairy (butter!) and eggs, expert vegan bakers have made it possible with the smart use of oils, non-dairy milks, and vegan products like chocolate and even sugar. Vegan chocolate chip cookies are so satisfying that, dare I say it, I prefer them to my non-vegan cookie recipe. They win on both texture and flavor and happen to be quicker and easier to make....

Put the avocado tuna salad between two pieces of toast and you have a rather perfect tuna salad sandwich with the lovely addition of avocado and without any mayonnaise.
