Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (February 17 - 23)

Riddle us this: Why does the shortest month of the year feel the longest? On the plus side, there’s plenty of time (like 7 billion weeks) to make cozy, delicious dinners and eat them while lounging on the couch by the fireplace. Here’s what we’re cooking every night this week.

Mac and cheese definitely tops our list of all-time favorite comfort foods, so we’re always looking for new ways to jazz it up. Sure, it’s decadent, but isn’t that what comfort food is all about?

Thursday: Baked Quinoa Chicken Nuggets

Lucky for you (and your kids), these baked quinoa chicken nuggets are crispy and moist and don’t taste even remotely healthy.

Love cooking, but hate doing dishes? (Join the club.) Introducing your dream dinner: baked sesame-ginger salmon and zucchini in parchment. It’s a complete meal that’s ready in 30 minutes, no pots or pans required.

Not only is this cheater’s pizza low-carb and gluten-free but it takes less than an hour to prepare. (Don’t worry, plenty of cheese is still involved.)
