Plus, the legumes and spinach offer nutrients and <a class=\"recommendation-inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/best-antioxidant-packed-foods-11813913\" link-destination-recommendation=\"true\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">antioxidants<\/a> that help reduce chronic inflammation. I\u2019ll serve it with a whole-wheat baguette to soak up all the yummy sauce.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Monday: One-Pot Creamy Chicken Pasta with Zucchini  <\/p>\n<p> Diana Chistruga<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> In just two simple steps and 25 minutes, you can have this delicious meal on the table. Whole-wheat orzo offers ample fiber, and chicken adds lean protein for a super satisfying dish. Using precooked rotisserie chicken makes it even easier to prepare.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Tuesday: Beef &amp; Bean Sloppy Joes  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Sloppy Joes were a childhood staple of mine, and this recipe gives them a nutrition glow-up. <a class=\"recommendation-inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/7650946\/the-1-food-to-help-you-live-longer-according-to-a-longevity-expert\/\" link-destination-recommendation=\"true\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Beans<\/a> add fiber and potassium, which help support a healthy heart, and spices add flavor as well as an anti-inflammatory kick. While the beef-and-bean mixture simmers, I\u2019ll make a side salad of mixed greens dressed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/8045018\/homemade-ranch-dressing\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ranch Dressing<\/a> to round out the meal.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Wednesday: Spanakopita-Inspired Skillet Beans  <\/p>\n<p>Photographer: Brittney Cottrell, Food stylist: Isabelle Easter, Prop Stylist: Keoshia McGhee<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I love <a class=\"recommendation-inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/skillet-dinner-recipes-with-beans-8423026\" link-destination-recommendation=\"true\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">skillet beans<\/a>: they\u2019re versatile, nutritious and easy to make with budget-friendly ingredients. This recipe is a riff on a classic Greek spinach pie, combining ample spinach and feta to the base. Cannellini beans add fiber and plant-based protein to the dish. To make it a meal, I\u2019ll serve it with a whole-wheat baguette.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Thursday: Cabbage &amp; Kielbasa Skillet  <\/p>\n<p>Antonis Achilleos, Prop Stylist: Lydia Pursell, Food Stylist: Ali Ramee.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I think cabbage is an underrated winter vegetable. It\u2019s nourishing, lasts a long time in the fridge and goes with pretty much everything. Here, it\u2019s paired with apple and turkey kielbasa for a protein-packed main that\u2019s flavorful and filling. I\u2019ll serve it with cooked farro (\u00bd cup per serving) for more fiber.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Friday: One-Pot Lemon Asparagus Pasta with Shrimp  <\/p>\n<p> Brie Passano<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Shrimp is a protein I always have in my fridge. Not only is it quick-cooking, but it\u2019s also packed with <a class=\"recommendation-inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/foods-with-as-many-omega-3s-as-salmon-11681920\" link-destination-recommendation=\"true\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">omega-3 fatty acids<\/a>. These are a type of unsaturated fat that helps lower inflammation and is linked with better heart health. This dish combines the shrimp with vibrant lemon and earthy asparagus for a bright and tasty main.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I wish you all a great week, and I hope you enjoy this dinner plan.
