Stewed Beef Tacos- Lazy Dinners
I love an intricate Mexican feast. I tend to do those on the weekends when my time to be in the kitchen can be more spacious.
This is a weeknight adaptation, designed for maximum flavor and minimum prep time.
Chicken Tzaziki- Lazy Dinners
There are a million ways to make this recipe. Below, I give instructions on how to prepare it in a slow cooker. This is an easy recipe to get in the habit of preparing in the morning so you come home to dinner. If you are a parent and have never done this, do your evening self a favor and try it out. Meal plans and early morning prep are game changers if you are tasked with cooking for a family. And yes, I also resisted those things for many years. I’m here to keep you from making the same mistake.
Roast Turkey Breast- Lazy Dinners
Ever since getting sick this winter, I’ve been in a cooking rut. I’ve been willing myself back to the kitchen with the laziest recipes I can find. Here’s one that is insanely delicious and easy, three ingredients including the turkey!
Miso Mustard Salmon, Japanese Sweet Potatoes and Broccolini
We eat some version of this meal almost every week. It’s a collection of recipes now merged into one. The glaze is from a cookbook I once had of recipes with three ingredients. I no longer even measure! It does come out a bit different every time, but always good. Japanese Sweet Potatoes are my absolute favorite, but they must be roasted whole or they dry out.
Squash, Spinach and Chicken Stew
This stew is adapted from a recipe in a Moosewood Cookbook I bought many many decades ago; one of my first ever cookbook purchases. I cooked my way through most of the book. There are very few recipes I still make from it, but this one has earned a spot of regular rotation in our household.
Napa Cabbage, Tofu + Brown Rice Ramen Salad
This is a summer staple, a dish the kids and adults enjoy equally. I often make a big batch to eat all week, dressing it just before serving.. Everytime I bring it to a party, I get asked for the recipe. The brown rice ramen cooks in 3 minutes, making it mainly a dish of chopping, extra compelling on a hot summer’s day. It’s versatile— you can add whatever vegetables you have on hand, or keep things separate for picky eaters.
