Lettuce wraps are typically associated with low-carb eating and weight loss. But that’s not the goal with this recipe. These lettuce wraps are packed with light yet filling heart-healthy ingredients to satisfy your hunger without weighing you down. Crunchy bibb lettuce cups are filled with nutty brown rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, toasted almonds, and King Oscar’s Omega-3-rich Mediterranean mackerel. It’s the perfect way to dish up a wholesome lunch or fuel up with a mid-afternoon snack!

Hatch chiles are here and we’re swooooooning! So

Hatch chiles are here and we’re swooooooning! So many things can be done with this slightly sweet and mildly smoky pepper—and smothering it with cheese is our favorite way to go. Hence this gooey grilled cheese! Not much can beat carb-y goodness pressed against melty cheddar and earthy hatch chiles when you’re a hatch devotee.

Herb + Garlic Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes 🥔!!

Smooth, creamy, and absolutely foolproof.

I’m so happy about this recipe! Not only is it delicious, but it’s absolutely perfect for holiday entertaining 🥂 It’s quick and impossible to mess up; you’ll never have to worry about overcooked, soupy, or gluey mashed potatoes again. The timing is perfect and their tenderness makes for easy mashing, promising velvety buttery goodness every single time. This good stuff is cooked in broth for extra flavor, and the butter is infused with garlic and fresh herbs. You’ll never boil your potatoes on the stovetop again. Seriously.

Keep your eyes peeled for Hatch chiles, friends! 🌶
…
People rave about Hatch chiles, and when Hatch chile season is here, devotees are quick to stock up. These mild and earthy peppers are perfect to have on hand for things like homemade queso, chili, tacos, and chile relleno. One of our favorite ways to enjoy hatch chiles in these dishes is roasted. Roasting Hatch chiles brings out their natural smoky flavor and buttery texture. The best part? You can freeze them for later use!

“Thanks so much for this simple, fast, adaptable

“Thanks so much for this simple, fast, adaptable recipe! Used veg I had on hand—zukes, baby bellas, bok choy—and added crispy tofu. So much more exciting than the stir fry and rice I had planned to make before my husband suggested using ramen instead. Will be making on the regular!”
