5 quick and healthy weeknight meals

Sometimes you just need a simple recipe that calls for only a few ingredients and hardly any prep. And for those nights, I turn to my three-ingredient ground pork stir-fry, which comes together even faster than deciding on your DoorDash order.

Seriously, this stir-fry involves no prep (not even chopping onions), takes just over 10 minutes to come together, and tastes totally delicious.

Meatball Salad with Radicchio

Meatballs please almost everyone. Perhaps it’s their concentrated flavor, maybe it’s the pleasantly soft yet toothsome texture, or perhaps it’s their versatility.

Pasta al Sugo Finto

We all pledge to eat a little healthier in the new year, which usually means getting more fruits, vegetables and grains on the plate at dinnertime.

Yet, creating a meal where vegetables not only play a starring role, but actually whet one's appetite can prove vexing for some home cooks.

This veggie-packed pasta dish with Tuscan roots is a flavorful step in the right direction.

California Crabcakes with Tartar Sauce

Crab meat has gone up in price, like everything else, so consider this a special occasion dish. Also, you can divide this recipe in half for four people, if you are having a smaller group.

These Seriously Simple crab cakes cook best when the mixture is chilled before they are sauteed. Chilling the crab cakes helps the mixture hold together and keeps the panko coating adhered to the crab cakes.
