Pasta</h5><h5>* Saucy Lemon Pepper Meatballs</h5><h5>* Protein Banana Bread Muffins</h5><h3>2 Tips </h3><h5>* Support Digestion With Bitter &amp; Brighter Flavors</h5><h5>* Hydrate Smarter (Not Just More)</h5><h3>1 Drink or Dessert</h3><h5>* Ginger Lime Mocktail</h5><h1>Three Meal-Prep Friendly Recipes</h1><h2>One Pot Marry Me Protein Pasta</h2><h6>The &#8220;marry me&#8221; recipe has taken over for a reason. The seasoning is rich, comforting, and feels a little special without requiring anything complicated. This one-pot version makes it even better. Everything comes together in a single pan, saving time (and dishes) on busy nights. I use protein pasta, but you can always add diced chicken for that extra boost! It&#8217;s the kind of meal that feels indulgent but is effortless enough to keep in your weekly rotation. </h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

It&#8217;s bright, buttery, and impossible to ignore in the best way. The citrus cuts through the richness of the sauce and meatballs, making every bite feel balanced and elevated. I&#8217;ve been loving simple flavor combinations more and more lately! </h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg" width="600" height="600" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1179,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:600,&quot;bytes&quot;:644892,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://lainiecooks.substack.com/i/195818446?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!orOT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ee4dca9-75fc-4625-b232-84551c22d77d_1179x1179.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div>

Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.</p></li><li><p>In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, salt, and vanilla. Mix with your hands until a dough forms. If it feels too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time until it comes together and is slightly sticky.</p></li><li><p>Reserve about 1/2 to 1 cup of the dough for the topping. Press the remaining dough evenly into the prepared dish, smoothing it out and filling any gaps. Refrigerate the dish while you prepare the jam, and chill the reserved dough until you are ready to use it.</p></li><li><p>In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chia seeds. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture begins to bubble.</p></li><li><p>Lightly mash the blueberries with a fork or potato masher, then continue cooking for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The mixture should thicken slightly but still be runny. It will continue to set as it bakes.</p></li><li><p>Remove the crust from the fridge and pour the jam evenly over the top. Crumble the remaining dough over the jam layer. </p></li><li><p>Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and lightly crisp.</p></li><li><p>Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let them sit for at least 3 hours (or until fully cooled) before slicing. This helps the bars set and prevents crumbling.</p></li></ol><h2>Lemon Chicken Gnocchi</h2><h6>Creamy, comforting, and just the right amount of bright, this dish comes together in one pan with minimal effort. I love it because it&#8217;s such a great way to dress up chicken. It can be hard to find new ways to keep chicken exciting, and this recipe brings bold spring flavors without overcomplicating things. The gnocchi cooks right in the sauce, creating a velvety texture and making the whole dish feel extra special. </h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg" width="600" height="600" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1179,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:600,&quot;bytes&quot;:702827,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://lainiecooks.substack.com/i/191298580?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XV6B!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91e84f77-c21f-4d7a-b2f9-78354795679f_1179x1179.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div>

It&#8217;s quick, fresh, and what I like to call <em>effortlessly elegant</em>. It packs protein and fiber, is great for your gut, and feels like summer in a bowl as we inch closer to those warmer months. No joke, it comes together in just 5 minutes.</h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp" width="600" height="600" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1179,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:600,&quot;bytes&quot;:185740,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://lainiecooks.substack.com/i/189156665?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0-4g!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3e76a0aa-3ff6-453f-b38a-c2c7a766d07e_1179x1179.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div>

Chicken Cutlets</h5><h5>* Crispy Chickpea &amp; Feta Salad</h5><h5>* Edamame Dip </h5><h3>2 Tips </h3><h5>* Plant Protein Benefits</h5><h5>* Micronutrients Matter</h5><h3>1 Drink or Dessert</h3><h5>* 5-Ingredient Apple Samoas </h5><h1>Three Meal-Prep Friendly Recipes</h1><h2>Gluten Free Crispy Chicken Cutlets</h2><h6>This is my favorite way to make crispy, flavor-packed chicken. Instead of a quick dip, the chicken soaks in the egg mixture, allowing the red wine vinegar to tenderize it and lock in flavor. It&#8217;s simple, made with minimal ingredients, and delicious served on its own, over salad, with pasta, or as a sandwich. Crunch level is unmatched! Bonus points, too, because my toddler requests this multiple times per week.</h6><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3c1e2a5a-1675-43af-9c15-a12bdab74226_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/325226a7-4040-4a5d-8368-df9b0e4457d7_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d4813fe2-0138-4472-9121-78fb63f155b1_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p>Prep time: 15 minutes</p><p>Cooking time: 15 minutes</p><p>Total time: 30 minutes</p><p>Servings: 4</p><p>Notes: <strong>High Protein | Gluten-Free | Easy Weeknight Dinner | <a href="https://lainiecooks.substack.com/p/under-30-minute-meals">Under 30 Minute Meals</a></strong></p><h3>Ingredients</h3><ul><li><p>2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts </p></li><li><p>1 tsp salt</p></li><li><p>3 eggs </p></li><li><p>3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil</p></li><li><p>2 tbsp red wine vinegar</p></li><li><p>1 tbsp Italian seasoning </p></li><li><p>1 cup gluten-free panko</p></li><li><p>1 cup Italian bread crumbs (I love <a href="https://amzn.to/4bzSZkw">these</a>)</p></li><li><p>1 cup Parmesan cheese</p></li><li><p>1/4 cup avocado oil </p></li><li><p>Pinch of flaky sea salt </p></li></ul><h3>Instructions</h3><ol><li><p>Remove any unwanted/fat pieces from the chicken breasts.</p></li><li><p>Cut the chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch strips lengthwise and generously season with salt.</p></li><li><p>In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

It&#8217;s fresh, satisfying, and comes together in under 30 minutes. It&#8217;s the perfect salad to shake up the week and get ready for spring.</h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg" width="600" height="600" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1179,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:600,&quot;bytes&quot;:873231,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://lainiecooks.substack.com/i/189156626?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mzXm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4394e4bd-feff-4ec0-8715-a0b5a3b3cf56_1179x1179.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div>

It comes together in under 20 minutes, and I love keeping it in the fridge for busy afternoons so I can just grab some whenever I&#8217;m hungry. It&#8217;s simple, reliable, and an easy way to get my protein in.

It feels indulgent and restaurant-worthy, yet it&#8217;s surprisingly easy to whip up on a busy night. Loaded with protein and rich, comforting flavors, it&#8217;s the kind of meal that satisfies while still fitting into a balanced lifestyle.</h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg" width="588" height="588" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1284,&quot;width&quot;:1284,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:588,&quot;bytes&quot;:759053,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://lainiecooks.substack.com/i/186802404?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hz6C!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c6cd05c-9a18-4b27-a60f-4f0a1fce37f6_1284x1284.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div>

These waffles elevate breakfast and guarantee your kitchen smells amazing. My hubby and kids ask for these time and time again, so I make sure they are always stocked in the freezer. Prep once, and enjoy for months. They taste indulgent, but keep you full with 30g of protein per waffle. Pure delicious fuel made with whole foods and simple ingredients!</h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

cod. Yes, it&#8217;s delicious, but at $49 a piece, I knew I had to recreate it at home. This recipe is rich, buttery, and deeply flavorful with a caramelized finish. A longer marinade creates tender, restaurant-quality fish with minimal effort.</h6><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It was the exact protein we were looking for.</p><p>When we first launched, we were overwhelmed in the best way. The response was immediate, generous, and far beyond what we imagined. Perdi&#8217;s sold out THREE times, and the last time, we <em>really</em> sold out.</p><p>We spent countless days reading the comments, learning from trial and error, and hearing what you all had to say. We took absolutely everything into consideration, from packaging to taste. It was clear Perdi&#8217;s was ready for its next phase.</p><p>We decided we needed to go BIGGER. Bigger in every sense. So, we did just that. We changed manufacturing, updated our formula and packaging, and just kept things moving as fast as we could. Building a business comes with a lot of moving parts, and it&#8217;s been incredibly rewarding to see them come together into what Perdi&#8217;s is today.</p><p>Shop Perdi&#8217;s Here: <strong><a

During that time, rushing production was never an option. Not because we weren&#8217;t ready, but because we&#8217;re deeply committed to maintaining the quality and integrity behind every batch of Perdi&#8217;s.</p><p>Behind the scenes, we were fully immersed in the process. We spent time at our almond farm, visited our blending facility, and were on-site during production to ensure every detail, from sourcing to texture to taste, was exactly as we envisioned. Building something this intentional requires care at every step, and that&#8217;s where our focus remained.</p><p>With a small team and a big vision, we decided to place a significantly larger order. We put systems in place that allow us to restock more regularly moving forward, all while keeping Perdi&#8217;s consistent, thoughtful, and true to what it&#8217;s always been.</p><p>We are endlessly grateful for this community, and for your patience, trust, and support throughout it all.

Loaded with fiber-rich vegetables, beans, and tender pasta, it&#8217;s the kind of feel-good meal that&#8217;s easy to return to any night of the week. Warm, satisfying, and quietly so restorative.
