Tina Sawasdee at SideChef

This recipe combines 2 well-known Asian-inspired dishes into a sheet pan and those recipes are the sweet-sour chicken and stir fry cashew chicken. Perfectly cooked chicken and vegetables with crunchy roasted cashew coated in a sweet and sour sauce that has applesauce and apple cider vinegar as a highlighted main ingredient for bringing up the tangy flavor in this fall!

Wednesday

Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

SideChef

Why order take-out if it’s easier and tastier to make on your own? Beef and broccoli stir fry is a classic and simple dish to cook! This recipe is definitely worth cooking for yourself and your family. Marinating the beef in half of the sauce while cooking the broccoli is a fantastic way to let the beef absorb more flavor and will also keep the meat juicy after cooking! Moreover, giving some char on broccoli from pan-frying brings some special flavor into this dish. Even, this is a simple dish, it is definitely rich in flavor.

Thursday

Mom's Spaghetti and Meatballs

SideChef

Not your mom’s spaghetti and meatballs...or is it? This is the comfort food from your childhood memories. The saucy al dente pasta with a bite covered in tangy marinara and the fluffy and tender meatballs are the perfect pair. The secret to a tender meatball is breadcrumb and a combination of different meat. With this secret, you’ll have the perfect meatballs every time! What’s even better? It’s the perfect easy recipe for a busy weeknight that will make the whole family happy.

Friday

Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice

Chef'd

A recipe by Soy Vay: "Sometimes, fried rice can seem bland-but this recipe has the flavor those other recipes are missing. With the great tastes of soy, onion, ginger, garlic and sesame really make this dish. Carrots, green beans and peas round out this dish that’s sure to become a favorite."
