Vegetarian Black Bean Tacos
Based on your feedback and my desire to create more plant-based recipes for vegetarians and those who are trying to cut down on their meat consumption (try Meatless Monday!), you’ll love these Crunchy Black Bean Tacos. Make it a fiesta with cilantro lime rice and guacamole on the side! And if you prefer beef, these slow cooker beef tacos are a favorite in my house!

Corn, Avocado, and Quinoa Salad with Marinated Tomatoes
Do I love quinoa? No.
Do I love this luscious and juicy summery salad, which does, in fact, contain quinoa? YES.
If you are a quinoa hater – I think I can get you on board with this salad. I really do.
This gem of a salad is a win for anyone who:
- Can appreciate a really good textured salad – I mean, look at all the little bite sizey bits!
- Prefers to hang out in the sun instead of spending hours cooking (aka THIS RECIPE IS SO EASY)
- Does or does not like quinoa – we accept all
- Appreciates a good meatless meal
- Goes weak in the knees for big, juicy, summery flavor
The amount of texture and flavor here is staggering. We have quinoa and corn making the base, marinated tomatoes as the juicy crown jewel, avocado to butter things up, shallot, chives, cilantro, lime zest and lime juice to wake you ALL THE WAY up, and Cotija cheese for just the tiniest bit of something creamy / crumbly (just omit if you’re vegan).
Let me just say this: it’s been a long time since I loved a quinoa salad as much as I love this one.
And maybe just a salad in general.
Healthy, but not too healthy. Punchy, textured, and craveable at all hours. Colorful and happy. Exactly how I like to eat.
And if you keep the avocados out until just before serving, it can be a lunches-made-ahead thing that will keep the mood high all the week long.
Quinoa, you win.
Corn, Avocado, and Quinoa Salad with Marinated Tomatoes
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 generous servings
Description
The perfect summery quinoa salad – fresh corn, buttery avocado, nutty quinoa, juicy marinated tomatoes, and tons of fresh herbs. SO GOOD.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
- 4 ears raw sweet corn, kernels cut off the cob
- 1–2 cups marinated tomatoes and their juices
- 1 shallot, minced
- lots of fresh cilantro and chives, minced
- 1–2 limes, juice and zest
- olive oil to taste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup Cotija cheese (optional)
- 1–2 avocados, diced
Instructions
- Cook quinoa according to package directions.
- Toss cooled quinoa with corn, tomatoes and juice, shallots, herbs, lime juice and zest, olive oil, and salt.
- The mixture will hold up pretty well for a few hours in the fridge (or even for a day or two, if you don’t mind that it will look a little less perky). Wait to toss in your avocado and cheese just before serving for optimal freshness, and if it’s been sitting for a while, give it one more salt / oil / lime juice treatment to wake it all up. YUMYUMYUM.

If you’re using regular tomatoes instead of marinated tomatoes, you’ll want to add some fresh grated garlic, salt, and olive oil to compensate for the missing juices!

Easy No Knead Bread
FOOL-PROOF and only 4-ingredients! So hearty and rustic with the most amazing crust + fluffy, soft, chewy inside. Seriously, SO GOOD.
Guys, please say hello to my COVID baby.
Yes, that’s exactly right. My bread baby. My bread baby I made every single week starting in March.
My first loaf was…well, it wasn’t the prettiest but it was still so darn good. The shaping definitely needed some work.
My second loaf was better, and then my third and fourth loaf were dropped off at neighbors and friends with a contactless drop off.
They all got rave reviews. Like the ravest reviews ever. And they all finished the loaves within a day.
I don’t blame them. It is just that good. And it’s unbelievably easy (except no one will believe you when you tell them that). Bread making has such a tedious, overwhelming rap to make but this no knead method requires very little hands-on time!
If you can’t find instant yeast: I have substituted active dry yeast and with an overnight rise with beautiful results!
Easy No Knead Bread
FOOL-PROOF and only 4-ingredients! So hearty and rustic with the most amazing crust + fluffy, soft, chewy inside. Seriously, SO GOOD.
Ingredients:
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (100-110 degrees F)
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and yeast. Create a well in the center; add water.
- Using a wooden spoon or your hand, stir until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 1-2 minutes.
- Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at a warm place until doubled in size and surface is dotted with bubbles, about 6-8 hours.
- Working on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, fold dough over itself 3-4 times, turning after each fold; gently shape dough into a round.
- Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place a 4-qt Dutch oven, covered, in the oven for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove Dutch oven from the oven; working carefully, place dough into the Dutch oven using the parchment paper as a sling.
- OPTIONAL: Using a sharp knife or bread lame, make a few shallow cuts on the top.
- Cover and place in the oven; remove the lid after 30 minutes. Continue baking until golden brown and completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 210 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Let cool 30 minutes on a wire rack
- Serve warm.

Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce
These Lebanese-inspired Grilled Chicken Kabobs are seasoned with za’atar and served with a cool Laban Cucumber Yogurt Sauce.
Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Yogurt Sauce
These Grilled Chicken Kabobs are marinated in lemon juice, olive oil, za’atar, and garlic and served with a cucumber yogurt sauce on the side. You can use either chicken breasts or thighs. I use both depending on what I have on hand. Of course, breast is leaner so that means they’ll be a little drier than thighs, but both taste wonderful. Some other great grilled kabob options are these Grilled Shrimp Scampi Skewers, Grilled Salmon Kabobs, and Grilled Lemon Dijon Chicken Skewers.

5-Ingredient Marinated Tomatoes
Where are you at with summer cooking? Because I’m at level: marinated tomatoes. Which is conveniently low maintenance AND extremely juicy and delicious and I probably won’t stop anytime soon.
I don’t mean like I’m making marinated tomatoes and having it as a side dish (although you go right ahead – if you’re fancy enough to have side dishes right now, don’t let me stop you).
I mean like, for the day to day, the extent of my entire “cooking” is a bowl of tomatoes that hang out for a little soak time in some garlic, salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and some fresh herbs.
What you get is a tomato salad of sorts – one that is swimming in tomato juices and olive oil and infused with garlic and herbs.
And oh, did we already establish that it takes about five seconds to make? Great.
It is my gold medal summer recipe right now.
Here are some ways you can use marinated tomatoes to make yourself feel as though you’ve cooked something really wonderful, when in fact, you’ve been sitting around enjoying the nice weather instead, like the good summer person you are:
- Spooned over grilled chicken or shrimp.
- Scooped onto your avocado toast.
- Sopped up with a slice of golden toasted, crusty bread thick with butter and salt. Because the bread with THE GARLICKY TOMATO JUICES. Wahhh. So good.
- Tossed with some raw corn cut straight off the cob (more on this tomorrow).
- Assembled over a pre-made bag mix salad. Kinda like this.
- Eaten straight, in a bowl, alongside salt and pepper ruffle chips. It’s summer, let me live.
Marinated tomatoes. Tonight. Make it happen.
5-Ingredient Marinated Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly minced herbs (I like parsley)
- salt to taste (I use about 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt)
Instructions
- Toss tomatoes, grated garlic, olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and salt together in a small bowl. You’re done.
- Now just let the marinated tomatoes get real yummy. Give them 2-3 hours minimum to just rest in the fridge, but you can also let them soak in all that goodness for up to 24 hours, especially if your tomatoes were sturdy to begin with, and/or if you’ll be mixing them into other things like a salad. Bring them back to room temperature for ideal serving conditions!
Notes
Tomato Options: You can also use whole beefsteak tomatoes and just cut them into slices.
Acid Options: I have used white vinegar, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice all with very delicious results.
Timing: For longer marinating times, sometimes the oil will congeal a bit in the fridge. This should be resolved by just bringing it back to room temperature.

7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (June 29-July 5)
A free 7-day, flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and updated WW Smart Points.
7-Day Healthy Meal Plan
I can’t believe it is almost July 4th!! In this week’s meal plan you will notice that there is more meat (beef) for the weekend than I usually include. This is for those that might be BBQ-ing for the holiday and serving a small crowd. If meat is too expensive or hard to find, you can swap it for chicken or fish. You can also check my recipes under the July 4th holiday tab. I have also included interchangeable meals for both Saturday and Sunday lunch and dinner meals so you can pick and choose or move things around to work for your schedule. Have a safe and happy 4th!
