2.Perfect spaghetti squash.
3.A portobello "bun" to hold your favorite sandwich meats.
4.The easiest and most perfect roast chicken.
5.A big batch of roasted vegetables.
6.A basic frittata that you can fill with whatever you want.
7.A perfectly seared steak.

Breakfast is a hectic time for a lot of people, and it kind of sucks not to be able to just grab a granola bar and go. For easier mornings, make a batch of egg "muffins" at the start of the week, then grab a couple for breakfast every day on your way out the door.
The world is overwrought with kale recipes right now, and most of them are... not great. The thing is, kale salad is actually GREAT when done right — kale is heartier than other salad greens, so it can feel like more of a 'meal' than a pile of arugula. Here's how to make a great salad every time.
It's quick, it's delicious, and there's minimal clean-up. Portion your favorite fish, then wrap each piece individually in parchment, with a little bit of liquid and your favorite non-starchy vegetables sliced nice and thin. 400°F and 15 minutes later, dinner's on the table.
The jury's still out on artificial sweeteners like stevia, but if you're OK with them, it's easy to make a decadent-tasting pudding out of avocado, stevia, coconut oil, cocoa, and heavy cream.
There are lots of things you can do with a big batch of tomato sauce (see zucchini noodles and spaghetti squash, above), but poaching eggs in a skillet of the stuff is maybe the most delicious. Also, it's the kind of minimal effort dinner that guests will find super impressive.
Weekend mornings should be as delightful as possible. Once you've mastered the poached egg, you can pretty much throw one on any pile of vegetables and the result will be magic. Additions like salmon and avocado just make things feel even fancier.
Pulsing cauliflower in the food processor leads to something that really is remarkably close to actual rice. Once you've mastered the basic recipe, you can serve the cauliflower rice as a side with meat and vegetables, or make fried rice.
20.A not-boring salad that will actually fill you up.
