Weekly Meal Plan: September 16–20
An easy week of meals to get you through the post-Labor Day listlessness.
Sheet-Pan Potato Hash with Fixins
These shingled sheet-pan taters are somewhere between french fries and potato chips (and heaven). Use russets to achieve a remarkably crispy-meets-creamy texture.
Creamy Pasta with Crispy Mushrooms
Mushrooms just need a quick sear in a hot pan before being tossed with pasta and cream in this easy weeknight dinner.
Big Green Lentil Salad
Cool yogurt, crunchy seeds, and herbs turn lentils into a lunch salad you’ll actually be excited to eat. Serve it with warm pita for swiping up the garlicky yogurt.
Soba Noodles with Crispy Kale
Nutritional yeast adds a hit of umami that plays well with earthy kale and buckwheat noodles. We suggest using curly kale, which roasts into light, crispy chips.
Tofu and Summer Vegetable Curry
When you have more eggplant and squash than you know what to do with, turn to this quick curry.
Tomato Fried Rice
Cooking rice in big batches is like giving a gift to your future self; tossed with tiny tomatoes, leftovers become tonight’s dinner in minutes.
Are We Messing Up Our Tomato Sauce by...Cooking It?
If it's peak tomato season, yes. Yes, you are.
Vietnamese Pork Meatball Banh Mi Fried Rice
To make this dish extra crispy, sauté the ingredients separately and use cold, cooked rice. As you're stir-frying, toss the rice, pausing frequently to allow it to interact with the heat at the bottom of the pan—this will give it a nice toast.
Green Rice Is the Grain That Every Food Should Be Served On (Especially Right Now)
How does a bowl of warm, herby rice take the edge off of summer heat? Mental trickery. (And cilantro.)
Raw Tomato Sauce
Newsflash: you're messing up your tomato sauce by cooking it.

Crispy Chicken Thighs with Zucchini and Olives
Crosshatching and salting zucchini before cooking removes excess moisture, allowing them to sear instead of steam.
Za'atar + Pita Chips = Breakfast (or Dinner) Bliss
Za'atar makes this eggy Middle Eastern take on chilaquiles fragrant and irresistible.
Vegetarian Piri Piri Chorizo Bake
This is a quick and easy-to-throw-together, eat-the-rainbow revelation.
Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls
