Weeknight Rescue//Week 47//Fall 2024

Easy fish sliders

Lots of vibrant colors of fall in this week’s meal plan. I’m a super fan of the Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Pasta this time of year and if you’ve never made my Easy Baked Eggs, give them a go. They’re so simple and a tasty way to enjoy one of nature’s most perfect foods. Enjoy!

Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Pasta with Kale and Bacon

Creamy Baked Pumpkin Pasta with Kale

This has all the elements of comfort food that we crave this time of year — pasta, cheese, warmth, deliciousness. It also happens to pack in six cups of vegetables and is so seasonal, now is the time to make it.

Farro and Fig Salad with Arugula and Feta

This farro is proof that you don’t need meat at the center of the plate to call it dinner. Add a simple vegetable on the side to fill out the meal, such as roasted sweet potatoes . If your crew demands more protein on their plate, toss chickpeas with herbs, lemon and olive oiI or pick up a rotisserie chicken.

Turkey Chili-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

A healthy spin on game-day chili. These stuffed sweet potatoes are full of healthy ingredients and perfect for watching the game or weeknight supper. They’re packed with protein, fiber, vitamin A with no shortage of flavor. Finish with your favorite chili garnishes, from shredded cheese to pickled jalapeños.

Lawang (Afghan Chicken) in Creamy Yogurt Sauce

This recipe comes to me by way of my friend, Humaira, who is from Afghanistan and skilled in the kitchen. You braise chicken legs and thighs on the stove in a generous amount of turmeric, onions, garlic, and coriander, then stir yogurt in at the very end and top with a heap of fresh cilantro. It’s a real keeper. 

Fish Sliders with Creamy Caper Sauce

Using store-bought breaded fish fillets is a huge time saver for these fish sliders. Shredded cabbage and a simple creamy caper dressing add great texture and flavor to these. 

Maple Coconut Granola

Years of making homemade granola has yielded this recipe…my favorite one yet. It lasts weeks in the pantry and is an excellent goodie to give to loved ones if the mood strikes.

Easy Baked Eggs

These are genuinely easy enough to do for a weekday breakfast, but add some chopped herbs and they’re special enough for brunch. For breakfast, I like to add a side of whole-grain toast to dunk into that tender yolk.
