Asian-style Chard with Mandarin Oranges, Tofu and Quinoa: Thursday, January 22, 2026
Tonight your dinner plate will feature chard. These dark leafy greens have been adopted and adapted as a food source by nearly every culture on earth.
You’ll serve it over quinoa, (pronounced “keen-wa”), an ancient grain from the Andes that is very high in protein.
This recipe also calls for Mandarin orange sections. Look for them under other aliases like Satsuma, tangerines or clementines making sure they’re the seedless variety. (You can also use canned Mandarin oranges.)
Smoked Salmon Pasta: Sunday, January 11, 2026
It’s time for one of my favorite pasta dishes. This easy-to-assemble smoked salmon pasta features snow (or snap) peas and mushrooms with a delicious creamy basil pesto sauce. It’s topped with chopped fresh tomatoes to bring out the fresh flavors.
Mexican Greens with Pineapple Salsa: Monday, December 22, 2025
Hearty and delicious greens that will warm you from the inside out are the fair tonight. They’re seasoned with Latin spices and dotted with black beans. Toasted tortilla strips provide a surprise extra crunch to each mouthful. The greens are served over caramelized, crispy potato slices and topped with a zingy pineapple salsa and shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese. Muy Bueno!
Comfort Food Greens: Monday, December 15, 2025
Lacinato Kale plays the leading role in tonight’s production, but it’s the supporting cast that makes this ensemble sing. Smoky tempeh delivers a powerful supporting performance (filling the role of bacon) and poached eggs add tasty harmony as they hit all the right notes with savory richness. This memorable dinnertime moment is anchored with a base of caramelized potato slices.
Bravo to the comfort food experience!
Kale with White Beans and Caramelized Onion: Thursday, December 11, 2025
Seriously good kale and white beans are what’s for dinner tonight!
The kale and beans sit atop a bed of high-protein quinoa and are served with creamy caramelized onions. The plates are garnished with chopped, fresh tomato and Parmesan cheese.
Tortellini with Hummus and Arugula: Monday, December 8, 2025
Middle-Eastern and Italian cuisines marry up in a most interesting pairing tonight. You’ll be serving cheese tortellini in an Italian White Sauce flavored with feta cheese. A scoop of Traditional Middle-Eastern hummus adds a happy finish to the flavors.
The dinner is finished with a savory arugula, tomato and toasted almond salad.
