Guy’s Fried Rice
Fried rice is versatile, weeknight dish that’s just as good using fresh ingredients or the week’s leftovers.
Leesa’s Sheet Pan Salmon, Sweet Potatoes, & Broccoli
I love the current “sheet pan supper” trend, which combines desire to roast everything with the need to get a healthy weeknight dinner on the table quickly. Cooking everything on the same sheet pan allows the veggies to roast in the meat’s juices, which amplifies the flavor.
Guy’s Sheet Pan Mini Meat Loaves & Roasted Veggies
Guy did some solo parenting while I was on a recent business trip, and he had zero problems getting dinner on the table. For this dish, he made four mini meat loaves seasoned with barbecue sauce and surrounded by broccoli, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and green beans.
Roasted Broccoli
Roasted veggies are usually part of our weeknight meals, and roasted broccoli is one of our favorites. Toss small broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at high heat for 15 minutes.
Roasted Salmon, Broccoli, & Potatoes With Miso Sauce
Oven-roasted veggies, salmon fillets, and miso sauce, all ready to eat in 40 minutes, is the ideal weeknight dinner for our little family.
Curried Udon Noodle Stir-Fry
Stir fry onion, ginger, bell peppers, chiles, and broccoli, and serve over udon noodles with a curry and garam masala sauce.
Erin’s Red Broccoli Salad
Our friends Erin and Matt have a lovely home in the country, surrounded by pastures and horses, and on the occasional holiday, a fireworks display on each horizon. We love gathering with friends there, especially when dishes like this are on the table.
Red onions, grapes, and bacon lend the red color to the otherwise green salad of broccoli, celery, and green onions.
Roasted Broccoli & Shrimp
Roasting veggies and meat together on one sheet pan makes for a flavorful and easy weeknight supper. The broccoli needs more time to cook than the shrimp, so toss them separately with olive oil and seasonings, and put the broccoli in the oven first. Add the shrimp halfway through.
Sausage Broccoli Pasta
Use one pot of boiling water to cook the broccoli, spinach, and the pasta. Brown Italian sausage, and combine everything for a super easy, satisfying weeknight meal.
Broccoli Salad
At our neighborhood potluck picnic last summer, this was the dish that everyone was raving about. A few days later, I came across the recipe in a magazine.
Blanch broccoli and add grapes, chopped celery, raisins, and sunflower seeds.
