5 Recipes to Make in January

Mini Broccoli Crustless Quiche

These mini quiche are high in protein, packed with broccoli and perfect for meal prep breakfast.

Napa Cabbage Salad with Asian Dressing

This is a salad that you can get excited about! It's crisp and crunchy, packed with sweet and savory flavor, and is tossed in a flavorful Asian dressing!

Crispy Smashed Potatoes

Baby gold potatoes are boiled, tossed in olive oil and rosemary, then smashed to create a large surface area that gets unbelievably crispy once roasted. They're irresistible as a side or appetizer!

Slow Cooker Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

This recipe is an easier twist on a classic Greek soup (avgolemono). It has a secret ingredient to make it creamy -- with no cream or dairy whatsoever.

When life gives you lemons, you have to make these lemon bars. They have an easy press-in shortbread crust, luscious tart-sweet lemon filling, and they're finished with a dusting of powdered sugar!
