“Frittatas are one of those dishes that are perfect for any meal—we make them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or serve them thinly sliced as an appetizer when entertaining. They taste just as good at room temperature as they do hot out of the oven. They are so easy to prepare—you need just one skillet, and the filling options are endless. Most important tip: For the filling, stick to ingredients that are already cooked—too much moisture will make the frittata soggy.”

Everybody loves nachos, but it’s not typically a dish that offers much in the way of nutrition. We’ve taken these up a notch by loading them with kale, corn, beans, and avocado. And yes, cheese, too. The end result is addictive.”

“Savory Tuna Burgers with Sriracha Mayonnaise The vibrant mix of spices makes this burger one you’ll return to again and again. It’s bright with ginger, cilantro, and garlic and stays juicy and tender whether grilled outdoors or on a grill pan on the stove.
