Major flavor players like tamari, sesame oil, fresh ginger, and garlic add plenty of pizazz to this healthier take on fried rice, using nutty, protein-rich quinoa instead of white rice. Be sure to let your skillet get hot before sautéing the quinoa, as those crispy bites truly make the dish. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

Mushroom Tartines with Green Apple & Kale Salad

The key to this French-style open faced sandwich is browning the mushrooms. Flavorful, meaty cremini mushrooms are sautéed in butter over medium-high heat. Resist the urge to stir too often, and season with salt only after they’ve browned—salt extracts moisture and the mushrooms will brown best when dry. The tartines are served alongside a tart apple and kale salad for balance. Cook, relax, and enjoy!
