| Trees are starting to fill out with leaves here in Austin, and I'm very excited about the warmer, sunnier weather. All of the spring vibes have me craving colorful fruits and vegetables. This week's dinners are ready in 30 minutes or less, plus they're packed with antioxidant-rich ingredients to support your overall health. Antioxidants are powerful compounds that counteract the negative effects of oxidative stress caused by our exposure to air pollution, toxins, chemicals and more. Luckily, a wide variety of foods, like vegetables, fruits and fatty fish, are excellent sources. | | | | | | | Sunday | | Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry | | You can't go wrong with a stir-fry when looking for a quick and healthy dinner. And this one is on the table in just 25 minutes. The toasted sesame oil and hoisin sauce add lots of flavor, while freshly grated ginger brightens it. This recipe gets its antioxidant benefits from broccoli, a cruciferous veggie. To make this a complete meal, I'll serve this dish over brown rice noodles. | | | | | | | Monday | | Sheet-Pan Caprese Pizza | | This dish combines two of my favorite dishes—Caprese salad and pizza—and it's so easy to make. The heirloom tomatoes not only add bright, beautiful colors but are packed with antioxidants, specifically lycopene. Pairing tomatoes with food containing fat, such as cheese, enhances your absorption of this antioxidant. | | | | | | | Wednesday | | Feta, Kale & Pear Salad | | Warmer weather calls for colorful and fresh salads, and this one delivers just that. This recipe features kale as the base, another antioxidant-rich veggie. If you find kale bitter, you might prefer it massaged like in this recipe—it not only softens the texture but also mellows its flavor. Plenty of toasted pepitas, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds add a delicious crunch. I'll serve it with shredded rotisserie chicken on top for a satisfying protein boost. | | | | | | | Friday | | Mushroom Ragout with Herbed Ricotta & Pappardelle | | We are having friends over for dinner on Friday, so I want to make something a little fancier yet still simple enough to make after work. And this recipe is the way to go—it's easy, delicious and looks beautiful. Packed with fresh herbs, mushrooms and tomatoes, this dinner delivers a variety of antioxidants. Plus, I love how the ricotta cheese adds creaminess. | | | | | | | Unsubscribe | | We independently evaluate all recommended products and services.
