🍕 Easy Sheet Pan Pepperoni Pizza 🍕

Find the recipe on my @joinfoody page, link in bio! Follow @brennastestkitchen for more easy, delicious recipes.

This is an insanely easy recipe to make at home, while it looks and tastes like you got takeout from your favorite pizza place. Best of all, the recipe uses store bought pizza dough, making it that much easier to have this on your dinner table ASAP! The trick with store bought dough is to let it sit at room temperature, on a flour lined plate or cutting board, for at least an hour before you're ready to bake your pizza. It will make it much easier to work with.

The key ingredient for this pizza recipe is the homemade tomato sauce, which comes together in less than 5 minutes using a food processor or a blender. If you have more sauce than you need, it keeps for almost a week in the fridge and then can be frozen - so you're already one step ahead of your next pizza night! All that said, if you don’t want to make your own sauce you can of course use store bought pizza sauce or even use a bit of your favorite marinara sauce from a jar in a pinch!

Serves 4 for dinner. Can be GF if you sub GF pizza dough.

DM me any questions and tag @brennastestkitchen if you try the recipe!

🥗🍅🥚🥔Niçoise Salad with Salmon and Roast Potatoes🥔🥚🍅🥗

This is a magical salad that works well for both lunches and dinners. It's also an incredible dinner party dish to serve, especially during the summer when you want something bright and fresh while also being filling enough. This recipe serves 2, but it easily scales for a much bigger group. While nicoise salad is typically served with tuna, I like to use a simple roast salmon. If you're vegetarian, you could skip the salmon all together and it's still incredibly tasty. This recipe is also gluten and dairy free.

Traditional nicoise also uses boiled potatoes, which I find to be bland and boring - instead I roast halved baby potatoes until super crispy, and they cook at the same temperature as the fish making them easy to roast at the same time (you'll start the potatoes first and add the salmon to the oven for the last 10 minutes).

The other thing I love about this salad is it can all be served cold - so it's the perfect dish to prep all the ingredients ahead and plate whenever you're ready to eat. Literally every part of the salad can be prepped ahead (soft boiling eggs, blanching green beens, roasting salmon, roasting potatoes, chopping tomatoes and olives, and margin the vinaigrette). Each part of the salad can be stored in the fridge for a few days, so if you like it on night one it's great for leftover lunches later during the week!

When I boil the eggs (7 minutes for a perfectly jammy center), I tend to boil more than I need for the salad and use the jammy boiled eggs for a snack or quick breakfast or lunch later in the week.

The vinaigrette for this salad is one of my favorites - a bright and acidic dijon vinaigrette. It's so good with the fish and all the parts of the salad. The vinaigrette keeps for a week, so if you have extra left over you can use it on pretty much anything!

For the next little bit I’m going to be sharing easy, leftover-friendly, delicious weeknight dinners that are healthy and satisfying. These dishes are favorites of my family and friends, come together relatively quickly, and can help you meal prep or “cook once eat twice” to make busy weeknights easier.

Grilled Chicken Thigh & Vegetable Skewers with Zucchini & Feta Orzo. Use a grill if you have one, a grill pan or cast iron if you don’t. Vegetarian if you double up the veggies and skip the chicken, GF if you use GF orzo, dairy free if you skip the feta. Find the recipe on the @joinfoody app, link in bio!

Every week we suggest 3 dinners (one of which is freezer friendly) an entreé salad, breakfast and snack - pick one thing or make all of them, and use our grocery feature to make a comprehensive list in seconds for any number of recipes you choose. Use this weekend to get organized for the week ahead!

🍃Vegetarian Pesto Lasagna🍃

Follow @brennastestkitchen for more easy, delicious recipes. This and all my other recipes are on the @joinfoody Foody+ App, link in bio!

Lasagna is usually a small labor of love, but it pays off: It feeds a crowd or a large family. It’s a great meal prep item. Assemble, refrigerate or freeze, and you have dinner ready whenever you want. It’s about the same amount of work to make 3 lasagnas as it is one, so make a small one for dinner tonight, and assemble and freeze another one or two for a rainy day, you won’t regret it. It’s delicious...especially when you add fresh pesto into it! I make my own pesto for this recipe, but you could of course buy store bought pesto to cut down an extra step.

I use my favorite jar of marinara, and no-boil lasagna sheets, which further reduces the number of steps here. Use a really good jar of marinara for this, you will taste the difference. Lastly, never skimp on the cheese! If you use store bought pesto, you’ll need ~1 1/2 cups.
I do this in a 9x13, or you can use this same recipe to assemble two smaller lasagnas that would each feed 4.
This dish is vegetarian, and can be GF if you sub GF lasagna noodles. Serves 8.
