Quick & Easy

Creamy Harissa Chicken Cutlets

These spicy chicken cutlets are already wicked fast to make but to shave off even more time, skip cleaning and slicing whole kale leaves and stir in a bag of chopped kale instead. (You may just need to cook it a couple minutes longer.)

Breakfast

Granola Bars

Granola Bars are chewy, crunchy snacks made from oats, nuts, seeds, and natural sweeteners. Perfect for on-the-go energy, they’re a tasty and wholesome treat anytime you need a quick bite.

Pancake

Avocado Chicken Salad

This avocado chicken salad is herbaceous, bright and creamy. The blend of cilantro, dill and chives pairs nicely with fresh avocado. Enjoy this easy chicken salad over lettuce, on crackers or in a wrap.

Fish & Seafood

Baked Mahi-Mahi with Garlic-Herb Butter

This baked mahi-mahi is cooked on top of lemon slices that impart their flavor through the fish, which is complemented by the buttery garlic and herb sauce baked on top. We like the meatiness of mahi-mahi, but this simple technique works well with other fish too, like salmon, cod or halibut.
