Tuesday: Meatball and Onion Subs

When it comes to comfort, nothing beats a sandwich. Especially a meatball sub with caramelized onions and ooey-gooey cheese! It’s a prime reason to always keep meatballs in the freezer for when you need a quick weeknight pick-me-up.

Wednesday: Sunny-Side-Up Eggs with Vegetables and Toasted Sesame

One of life’s truest pleasures? Breakfast for dinner! That’s why we took eggs, a morning staple, and served them on a bed of quinoa and warm veggies. The recipe already includes a sweet-and-spicy sauce, but just wait until you break open the egg yolk and let it coat everything. Perfection!

Thursday: Sausage Stew with Polenta

Smooth and creamy polenta...it’s an Italian comfort food staple. We took this delicious boiled cornmeal and served it alongside stewed sausage and vegetables. There’s a dose of warmth in every bite!

Friday: Creamy Vegetable and Sausage Lasagna

You’ve made it to Friday, and this certainly is reason enough to dive into a slice of lasagna! The added feel-good factor to this version? Smooth and creamy bechamel sauce. It’ll be just the thing your body and soul needs as you kick-start the weekend.
