    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Prepare the ingredients & start the sauce. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the brussels sprouts; quarter lengthwise. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Cut off and discard the ends of the turnip; medium dice. Combine in a large bowl. Core and medium dice the apple. Pick the sage leaves off the stems; thinly slice the leaves. In a bowl, combine the mustard , maple syrup, and 1/4 cup of water. Season with salt (optional) and pepper.
    2. Roast the vegetables. Line a sheet pan with foil. In a small bowl, combine ground yellow mustard, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create spice blend. To the bowl of prepared vegetables, add a 1/2 tsp of olive oil and season with salt (optional), pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared sheet pan and arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
    3. Cook the chicken & apple. Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt (optional) and pepper on both sides. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1/2 tsp of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken and cook 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Flip the chicken and add the diced apple. Cook, stirring the apple occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until the apple is softened and the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 165°F). Leaving the apple in the pan, transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. 
    4. Finish the sauce & serve your dish. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and sliced sage leaves to the pan of cooked apple. Season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the apple is thoroughly coated. Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked chicken with the roasted vegetables. Top the chicken with the finished sauce and apple. Enjoy!

    Spicy Salmon & Orange Relish with Salsa Verde Couscous

    How to Make Spicy Salmon & Orange Relish with Salsa Verde Couscous

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Prepare the ingredients & make the relish. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the stems of the sweet peppers; remove the cores. Thinly slice into rings. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the piquante peppers. Peel and medium dice the orange. In a bowl, combine the diced orange, chopped piquante peppers, and a 1/2 tsp of olive oil; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.
    2. Cook the couscous. Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the couscous, a big pinch of salt (optional), and 3/4 cup of water; heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, turn off the heat. Cover and let stand 6 to 8 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the couscous is tender. Fluff with a fork.
    3. Cook the vegetables & finish the couscous. Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a 1/2 tsp of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced zucchini in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced sweet peppers and chopped garlic; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to the pot of cooked couscous; stir in the salsa verde. Taste, then season with salt (optional) and pepper if desired. Wipe out the pan. 
    4. Cook the salmon & serve your dish. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Transfer to a cutting board, skin side down. Cut into two equal-sized pieces; season on both sides with salt (optional), pepper, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on the first side, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked salmon over the finished couscous. Garnish with the relish. Enjoy!

    Quinoa Fried Rice with Bok Choy, Shishitos & Carrots

    How to Make Quinoa Fried Rice with Bok Choy, Shishitos & Carrots

    Classic fried rice gets a twist in this recipe: we’re swapping in red quinoa, whose hearty texture complements a flavorful combination of sautéed cabbage, carrots, and shishito peppers. The velvety smooth yolk of a fried egg adds an extra layer of rich, savory flavor.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Cook the quinoa. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the quinoa and cook, uncovered, 14 to 16 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly.
    2. Prepare the ingredients. Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers, then thinly slice into rings. Combine the sliced carrots and peppers in a bowl. Thinly slice the bok choy, separating the stems and leaves. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Peel and finely chop the ginger. In a large bowl, combine the prepared garlic, ginger, and bok choy stems. Roughly chop the peanuts.
    3. Cook the vegetables. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared carrots and peppers; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Add the prepared aromatic mixture and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the sliced bok choy leaves. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted and combined. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
    4. Fry the quinoa. In the same pan, heat the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the cooked quinoa in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly crispy. Turn off the heat; stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Transfer to the bowl of cooked vegetables; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
    5. Fry the eggs & serve your dish. In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Crack the eggs into the pan, keeping them separate. Season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished quinoa and vegetables topped with the fried eggs. Garnish with the chopped peanuts. Enjoy!

    How to Make Korean BBQ-Inspired Baked Salmon

    The Korean BBQ-inspired sauce on this salmon has that ideal balance of sweet, salty, tangy, and spicy. The sweetness comes naturally from fruit, not added sugars. You could also use this sauce on chicken: bake boneless, skinless chicken thighs without the sauce for 15 minutes, then brush on the sauce and bake for another 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

    How to Make Instant Pot Chia Berry Crepes

    Chia seeds are a diabetes superfood—they’re loaded with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. They also form a gel when added to liquids, so they can help thicken sauces, dressings, and jellies. In this recipes, chia seeds are combined with frozen berries to create a jam-like fruit filling with very little added sugar.

    You can make your own crepes or look for premade crepes in the produce section of your grocery store for a super easy sweet treat. Or you could use the chia-berry jam to top toast, waffles, or oatmeal for breakfast.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Place the berries, 1/2 cup of the water, and the chia seeds in the Instant Pot. Seal the lid, close the valve, and set the Manual/Pressure Cook button to 1 minute.
    2. Use a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid.
    3. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1 Tbsp of water and the cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved.
    4. Press the Cancel button and set to Sauté. Then press the Adjust button to “More” or “High.” Stir the cornstarch mixture into the berries. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, or until thickened slightly.
    5. Turn off the heat. Stir in 2 Tbsp of the powdered sugar and the almond extract. Place the berry mixture in a medium bowl and let stand for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
    6. Spoon equal amounts of the berry mixture down the center of each crepe (about 1/3 cup per crepe). Fold the ends over to overlap slightly. Spoon the remaining 1 Tbsp of powdered sugar into a fine mesh sieve and sprinkle evenly over each crepe. Top each crepe with 1/4 cup yogurt and serve immediately.

    How to Make Quinoa Seafood Paella

    Author and celebrity chef Ingrid Hoffman says, “My apologies to Spain, but I love this version of paella more than the original; the quinoa seems to soak up the flavor more than the rice or arroz bomba that is used in the classic Spanish dish. I find paella to be such an easy and beautiful dish to present when serving multiple people. One key ingredient is saffron. I use Persian (Iranian) saffron, which I buy online, because I prefer it to the commercial versions you find at the supermarket. It has so much flavor, so a little goes a long way. I store it powdered in my fridge and use it in stews, soups, rice, veggies, etc.”

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or paella pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.
    2. Add the tomato paste and saffron to the skillet, stirring until well mixed. Add the quinoa, broth, tomatoes, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes.
    3. Tuck the shrimp and calamari into the quinoa mixture. Cover and cook until the shrimp and calamari are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon wedges.
