But we guarantee that this recipe is everything you could ever want: filling cruciferous vegetables, creamy avocado and plenty of hearty chicken (leftover from last night).
Wednesday: Spaghetti with Avocado Pasta Sauce
On hump day, we’re usually being pulled in five different directions. That’s when we crave something satisfying and ridiculously easy. Enter this 30-minute pasta dish, which is rich but totally virtuous thanks to two whole mashed avocados.
Thursday: Slow-Cooker French-Dip Sandwiches
They're as easy as throwing some deli meat between two slices of bread—but so much more special.
Friday: Chicken Paprikash
Having friends over for dinner? Presenting Coterie member Gaby Dalkin’s secret weapon: A Hungarian pasta dish made from egg noodles and the richest, creamiest tomato-chicken sauce. Unusual, but totally crowd-pleasing.
Saturday: Garlic Naan Grilled Cheese
It’s the weekend, y’all. Time to eat whatever the heck you want. (Bonus points if it’s super easy and family-friendly, too, like this 15-minute recipe.)
