THE RECIPES
Eggplant Parmesan Cutlet Salad with Tomato and Mozzarella by @supperwithmichelle

This versatile eggplant parmesan is great served as a salad as pictured, or add a little store bought marinara and mozzarella and make eggplant parm subs!

Feedfeed Tip When you slice the eggplant, season it generously with kosher salt and let it sit in a strainer for about 30 minutes before you start the breading process. This will extract some of the moisture to ensure crisp (not soggy) eggplant cutlets. 
Broiled Salmon with Fennel and Citrus by @kerrie_ahearn

Elegant enough for a dinner party, but easy enough for a Monday. Serve with steamed rice (or your favorite grain) and a green salad.

Spicy Tuna Melt by @sofiesfoodstories

Just like the Tuna Melt at your fav diner, but better because you don't need to leave the house.

Feedfeed Tip We prefer using oil-packed tuna, which is slightly more expensive, but worth every penny!

Feedfeed Tip We love to keep a jar of this chilaquiles sauce in the freezer at all times so we can pull this meal together in minutes. When you are making the sauce this week, consider doubling up and freezing half. You'll thank us later!
 
Tagliatelle with Weeknight Bolognese by @onceuponarecipe

Sure, simmering bolognese for hours is the way to go, but that's not always realistic on a busy weeknight. Enter this easy riff that cooks in just 30 minutes.

Feedfeed Tip If you prefer, feel free to replace the beef with ground turkey or chicken.
