Weeknight Rescue//Week 46//Fall 2024

Easy Chicken Paillard

This week’s menu brings in plenty of fall flavors, cozy dishes, and a few simple staples to round out the week. Another recipe that I’m planning to try soon is this one for Pizza Beans from Smitten Kitchen. Enjoy!

BROTHY TORTELLINI WITH SAUSAGE AND KALE

This dish lands somewhere between a pasta and a soup. It’s satisfying and nourishing, with everything you need for a balanced supper right in one bowl. Do up some garlic bread on the side if you’re in the mood.

DELICATA SQUASH TACOS

Delicata squash is tender, nutritious, and terrific in a taco. Slice them thin, roast, and then pile onto corn tortillas with pickled onions and other favorite taco fixings.

EASY CHICKEN PAILLARD

The combination of capers, shallots, and white wine is undeniably delicious spooned over chicken. The dish is made entirely on the stovetop, and because it’s done with pounded chicken breasts, it’s a fairly quick-cooking dish. On the side, try arugula tossed with this vinaigrette or a grain dish like this one.

TURKEY TACO SALAD WITH CUMIN LIME DRESSING

This is a longtime favorite in our house that I crave from time to time. It’s a combo of crunchy greens and veggies, ground turkey cooked with taco seasoning mix, and a tangy lime dressing. Sometimes I’ll do a variation and cook chicken tenders in the taco mix instead of ground turkey. Also, delish.

MISO AND GINGER GLAZED SALMON

Miso Ginger Salmon

Not a lot of ingredients, super flavorful, and so very good for you. Serve with brown basmati or jasmine rice and a simple veggie side. I’m partial to bok choy for this salmon (I sometimes do a version of this recipe, leaving out the tofu and pork, since you’ll be serving it as a side). 

OVEN ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH LEMON & PARMESAN

My everyday, go-to method for cooking broccoli is a snap to do and mega tasty. You can use the same approach for myriad other vegetables, such as cauliflower or root veggies.  

COCONUT GRANOLA BARK

A recipe from Best Lunch Box ever, you make this bark by pressing coconut granola onto a baking sheet, baking it, and then breaking it into shards. It’s a good one to make on the weekend and pack into lunches, enjoy for snacks, or crumble over plain yogurt for breakfast.

Hi Katie,
Lily and I rely on your recipes. (Lily loves to cook and it makes it so fun for me). This week includes 2 of our go-to’s (brothy tortellini, taco salad), and 2 other favorites (ginger-miso salmon, and chicken paillard). You also introduced us to the ease of delicata squash a little while back. We crave your delicata/parm frico….and so many more! It’s high time I wrote to thank you for your expertise, and making everything so accessible.

Wow! That really makes my day! The idea that I’m helping to nourish your girl when you nourished mine (albeit in other ways) seems very fitting. Hugs to you both.
