SAUCE STANDOUT: Greek Yogurt Aji Verde Sauce
Using Greek Yogurt for your Aji Verde Sauce is a smart change up that bolsters flavors and is also healthier.
Adjust the heat level by including or excluding your jalapeño seeds
For a thicker Aji Verde Sauce, add more Greek yogurt to the ingredient ratio.
DINNER DAYS 1 & 2: Quick Weeknight Fettuccine Bolognese
A quick and easy version of a satisfying classic
Adding umami rich ingredients like tomato paste, parmesan and even soy sauce help amplify rich flavors quickly.
Can easily replace ground beef with a plant based option if desired
DINNER DAYS 3 & 4: Quick and Easy Pesto Zoodles
The big ‘trick’ to cooking zoodles is to not overcook them and to add them into your sauce at the very end, tossing them around and cook for only a few minutes.
Using a Madoline Slicer is the most consistent and fastest way to cut zoodles.
You can make zoodles to suit a ton of dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, keto, etc)
DINNER DAY 5: Smash Burgers with Mac Sauce & Lettuce Wraps
Smash Burgers take minutes to make and deliver big flavor with browned crust
Homemade Big Mac sauce is super simple to make and keeps great.
Lettuce Wraps are an easy way to have a lighter meal, can also swap for normal buns for a more substantial option.

TREAT YOURSELF: Spicy Lemon, Shiso & Morel Mushroom Toast
This toast packs a wallop of flavor and is a wonderfully intentional way to treat yourself.
Morel mushrooms are wonderful and can be found in the spring and fall months.
You can easily substitute other mushrooms like shiitake, lion’s mane , oyster, and others that are more easily found and available year round.
Goes great with a glass of acidic and dry white wine
