Start the week with roasted cauliflower pitas. They’re filling, flavorful, and easy to customize with your favorite hummus and toppings.

Next up: a chipotle chicken Cobb salad. It’s bright, smoky, and a perfect way to use any leftover chipotles you have on hand.

Midweek, try a maple sheet pan sausage with roasted butternut and Brussels sprouts. Roast extra butternut squash so you can use it in tomorrow’s salad.

Make a smoky butternut kale salad with apricot vinaigrette for a bright, crunchy contrast to the roasted vegetables. It’s a nice way to mix warm and cool textures.

Heading into the weekend, serve cheeseburger meatballs with special sauce. They’re great plated as a main or served over a bed of lettuce and tomatoes for extra crunch and freshness.

And for easy lunches, make a simple, creamy egg salad — a reliable go-to that’s great on toast, in a wrap, or over greens.
