Ready to turn mealtime madness into mealtime magic? I’ve got four delicious recipes that will seamlessly fit into your breakfast, lunch and dinner lineup.
Start your morning with my sheet-pan pancakes — no flipping required! For lunch, savor an elevated twist on the classic PB&J: grilled peanut butter and fruit, complete with antioxidants and fiber. And for dinner, my Tex-Mex quinoa bake is the ultimate one-dish wonder, bursting with bold flavors and plant-based protein. Alternatively, you could go for my hearty taco casserole, which brings all the deliciousness of taco night in a cozy, one-pan meal.
Sheet-Pan Pancakes
You will flip for these pancakes … without having to flip ‘em! I used to be stuck manning the stove and flipping pancakes for what felt like forever, but this one-sheet wonder changed my life. All the pancakes are ready at once, so everyone gets to enjoy hot flapjacks together. This one-sheet recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd, whether it’s a weekend brunch, family gathering, or meal prep for hectic mornings (they freeze beautifully). Plus, you can top them however you like — think: chocolate-blueberry, banana-pecan or strawberry-coconut.
Tex-Mex Quinoa Bake
If you’re craving an easy, flavor-packed meal, this Tex-Mex quinoa bake is a must-try. It’s a simple, dump-and-bake dish — just mix everything in one casserole pan, pop it in the oven and about 30 minutes later, you’ll have a cozy, cheesy meal that’s super satisfying and works as a hearty side or a stand-alone vegetarian entrée. I love cooking with quinoa, but if you’re a quinoa rookie, consider this recipe your quinoa welcome party! The dry quinoa cooks right in the dish (big time-saver), soaking up all those scrumptious Tex-Mex flavors, with zero extra steps. It’s a family-favorite in my house, and leftovers are just as good the next day, whether they’re reheated or you enjoy them straight from the fridge.
Mi casserole es su casserole. This delicious dish is everything you love in a taco. Every meaty, cheesy, and bean-filled bite will burst in your mouth and deliver finger-licking-Tex-Mex-good flavors. Each spoonful can be loaded and layered with extra toppings, such as sliced black olives and jalapeños, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, salsa, guacamole, sliced scallions, a dollop of Greek yogurt or light sour cream … the garnish options are endless. This spec-taco-lar casserole will give you something to taco ‘bout!
