Healthy Fruit-and-Nut Breakfast Cookies
Casey Barber
It’s said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but there’s no reason it can’t be nutritious and delicious. These easy oat cookies are chock-full of toasted nuts and coconut flakes, plus a tart and chewy combo of dried cranberries, blueberries and cherries. Imagine a hearty bowl of oatmeal or an energizing handful of trail mix … but in tasty cookie form.

Baked Broken Lasagna Pasta with Spinach
Yasmin Fahr
Oh, lasagna. It’s one of those multi-step, hands-on, only-on-Sunday suppers that takes all day, right? Think again! Not only does this easy method make use of no-boil noodles, but it also calls for the noodles to be broken up and submerged in sauce (then — yum — smothered in spinach and cheese), so they cook to luscious perfection in barely 40 minutes.

Farfalle with Creamy Mushrooms and Peas
Casey Barber
Trying to observe meatless Monday (or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday)? Pasta to the rescue! Bowlfuls of bowties make for an effortlessly elegant vegetarian dinner. Simply toss ‘em in a light cream sauce that's studded with earthy cremini mushrooms and sweet green peas.

Eggplant with Tomato, Broccolini and Mozzarella
Yasmin Fahr
Whether served as a main course or side dish, this simple, 30-minute sheet pan recipe (hello, quick cleanup) makes it easy and enjoyable to eat your vegetables! We love using broccolini, which has long and tender stems and sweet florets, but feel free to use regular broccoli, or even broccoli rabe.

Crispy Cereal-Crusted Fish Sticks
Jocelyn Delk Adams
It doesn’t get more kid-friendly than these cereal-crusted fish sticks. But trust us, this recipe has tons of adult appeal, too. Try switching up the cod for your favorite fish (even salmon would work) or spritzing the sticks with a bit of fresh lemon before dipping them in creamy tartar sauce or malt vinegar.
