Classic Mac & Cheese
No sneaky ingredients here, just delicious comfort food.
Whole-wheat noodles add fiber, while sharp Cheddar adds richness.

A hefty twist of black pepper balances the cheese’s salty tang.
Broccolini, Chicken Sausage & Orzo Skillet
We love this quick skillet meal for busy evenings.
We love this recipe for the tradition because it’s super-customizable based on your tastes.

Try swapping in chicken for the steak.
Can’t find Chinese broccoli?
Or swap out the mushrooms and broccoli altogether for snow peas and carrots.

Pesto Pasta Salad
A creamy pesto sauce turns this simple pasta salad into a delightful dinner.
Chicken sausage with feta is especially good in this recipe.
Look for presliced mushrooms to cut prep time.

Serve with a tossed salad.
For this recipe, you’ll want almond milk without any vanilla.
With just a few add-ins like lemon and Parmesan cheese you have a delicious silky sauce.

Want to use up your veggie stash in the freezer?
Swap in 8 ounces frozen spinach for fresh.
That’s why we opt for the richer flavor of whole-milk ricotta over part-skim.

Pair with a big green salad and a bottle of chilled rose for a summer meal on the deck.
Lemon-Pepper Linguine with Squash
