Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, and sugar; whisk until smooth.
  2. Add flour, baking powder, salt, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each cake; cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip the cakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove from skillet and keep warm; repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Serve the cloud cakes warm, drizzled with honey. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruits or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover cloud cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet before serving.

For the best texture, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whipping them; this helps incorporate more air for fluffiness. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, consider using Greek yogurt instead of ricotta.

Try adding some fresh berries or lemon zest for extra flavor. These cloud cakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and they reheat well in the microwave or on a skillet.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted
  • For the Honey-Mustard Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then peel the skins off using your hands or a paper towel.
  5. Cut the roasted beets into wedges or slices and season with salt and pepper.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  7. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with the honey-mustard dressing until evenly coated.
  8. Arrange the dressed greens on a serving platter and top with the roasted beet slices, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.

Notes

Tip: For a sweeter dressing, adjust the honey to your taste. You can also substitute the goat cheese with feta for a different flavor profile.

For optimal flavor, allow the beets to cool slightly before tossing them in the dressing. This salad can be made ahead of time; just add the goat cheese and walnuts right before serving to keep them fresh.

If you’re looking for a variation, try substituting the walnuts with pecans or adding some fresh arugula for extra peppery flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to two days, but for the best texture, consume them within a day.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine basil, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Blend until smooth to make the pesto.
  3. Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and season with salt and pepper. Spread a generous layer of lemon-dill pesto over each fillet.
  4. Trim the ends of the asparagus and place on the same baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast salmon and asparagus for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Meanwhile, rinse quinoa under cold water, then combine with vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and stir in minced garlic.
  6. Serve the salmon on a bed of garlic quinoa, accompanied by roasted asparagus.

Notes

Tip: Marinate the salmon in the lemon-dill pesto for enhanced flavor.

For best results, marinate the salmon in the lemon-dill pesto for at least 30 minutes before cooking to amplify the flavors. Feel free to adjust the garlic in the quinoa based on your preference, and consider adding some chopped cherry tomatoes or spinach for extra color and nutrition.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, and consider making a fresh batch of quinoa to accompany it, as it tends to dry out after a day.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 large chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to make the marinade.
  3. Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. On a baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and place on the baking sheet with Brussels sprouts, skin side up.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C) and Brussels sprouts are golden and crispy.
  7. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with Brussels sprouts on the side.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, drizzle additional maple syrup over the chicken after it comes out of the oven.

For best results, marinate the chicken thighs in the maple-sriracha mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate. If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of sriracha or add more maple syrup.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes for optimal texture.

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, diced (cremini or button)
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  5. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture and half of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
