Polenta Crusted Chicken |
You’re probably like me in that trying to find healthy recipes, you instead find recipes for 20+ ingredients requiring fancy kitchen gadgets like spiralizers or food processors. I am a trained chef, but when I come home, I don’t want to cook fancy. I also don’t want to spend lots of money on exotic ingredients for a weeknight. I want to get the meal on the table in under an hour for my family. And I want it to be healthy. No processed ingredients.
This list is a cheat sheet for me, and maybe for you on what to make for the week. I started creating more recipes on this blog that fall into the genre “Wednesday-style cooking,” meaning that recipes are easy enough for non-cooks to follow. There’s enough inspiration in these recipes for me too, getting flavor from Asia and Mexico to change it up, instead of boring baked chicken every day.
I hope you find them helpful and can serve your family in a way that saves you time in planning and hunting down healthy recipes that are just simple.
Many of these recipes are gluten-free and are plant-forward. The best way to describe them are “Flexitarian” emphasizing smaller amounts of animal products and more vegetables. To me, this is balanced.
