Turmeric Braised Chicken with Golden Beets and Leeks

Turmeric Braised Chicken with Golden Beets and Leeks is a flavorful dish layered with vegetables and spices, covered with wine and baked in a casserole dish. What emerges from the oven once it’s done is the most incredible tasting chicken dish in a rich, golden broth with the perfect balance of flavors that will make you want to lick the bottom of the dish, it’s THAT good!

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

These Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are insanely good. So moist, and lightly sweetened, studded with blueberries in every bite! A cross between baked oatmeal and oatmeal muffins, if that was a thing!

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 76)

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 76). A few favorites added from last week, and some favorites from the archives Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats and Grilled Pesto Chicken and Tomato Kebabs, perfect for Memorial Day weekend! If you want some Memorial Day inspiration, here’s a ton of recipes perfect for the weekend!

Pictured above is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here

Chicken Pesto Bake

Chicken Pesto Bake is a simple, light dish made with skinless chicken breasts, pesto, tomatoes, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. You can make this in the oven, or make it outside on the grill!

Waffled Crab Cakes

Dust off that waffle machine to make these fast and delicious Waffled Crab Cakes! This is so genius you’re going to wonder why you haven’t thought of this sooner. The crab cakes cook perfectly in the center, with golden edges in less than 3 minutes! And you get perfect little square pockets to hold the lemon juice or tartar sauce.

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 75)

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 75). Mondays I try to go meatless, so Best Skinny Eggplant Rollatini with Spinach is on the menu. I prep it Sunday night so Monday night I just put it in the oven. The rest of the week I am reviving some old favorites like Asian Peanut Noodles and one of Tommy’s favorites Garlic Shrimp in Coconut Milk, Tomatoes and Cilantro to name a few.

Grilled Chicken Salad with Strawberries and Spinach

Grilled Chicken Salad with Strawberries and Spinach is all I’ve been craving now that Spring is in full bloom! I made this with creamy goat cheese and a white balsamic dressing, but this would also be great with Feta cheese and if you want to add more protein, or skip the cheese altogether, add walnuts or slivered almonds.
