It's a pizza... It's a salad... No, it's both! This cheesy white pizza is topped with simply dressed arugula, meaning you don't have to dirty extra plates to serve the salad. Genius!

Summer's over, but don't put away that grill pan just yet! In fact, we use it twice in this week's meal plan. It creates the perfect sear on tonight's Asian-flavored sirloin steak, served with sesame brown rice and sweet chili slaw.


Serve with:
Chili-Basil Slaw

No more frozen fish sticks on your table when you can serve these crispy nuggets instead. Kids love them, so they won't mind eating a double portion of veggies on the side!


Serve with:
Bell Pepper and Corn Sauté
Quick Parsley-Spinach Salad

For a fresh take on weeknight spaghetti, make a sauce that's bursting with sweet cherry tomatoes. Don't skip the anchovies--they add a savory, salty layer to the sauce.


Serve with:
Mint and Pea Pesto on Toasted Baguette
