Meal Prep & Leftover Tips
Baked Sausage Cheese Rigatoni: Ground turkey, hamburger, or plain sausage can be used in place of the Italian sausage. Garlic, mushrooms, and spinach would all be lovely additions.
Caprese Chicken: Cut boneless chicken breasts in half lengthwise so they’re thinner, cook faster, and go further. Thinner chicken breasts are also easier to gauge for doneness and have more browned and crisped areas to enjoy.
Mediterranean Pizza: For the crispest crust bake the pizza on a preheated pizza stone. While not essential, oven-baked pizza is best baked on a hot pizza stone that radiates heat through the crust.
Baked Maple Salmon: Broiling the salmon for the recommended 7 to 9 minutes will give you a very dark crust, looking almost burnt. But that’s where the flavor comes in.
Pork Scallopini: If pork isn’t your thing, thin cuts of veal, chicken or even turkey could easily be substituted.
Tiramisu: Plan on making this recipe the day ahead of serving it, or at least 8 hours before. I’ve let it sit in the fridge for up to 48 hours before serving and it has only gotten better with time.
Italian Chicken Wraps: Use leftovers from the caprese chicken and make healthy wraps for a quick and easy grab-and-go lunch. They keep well and can be made ahead and refrigerated for later.
