A One-Pot Dinner for the Week Ahead
Happy Sunday! Every Sunday we share a recipe so you can cook along with us.
Sunday Dinner
Lemony Chicken and Rice
Hey friends,
There are moments when you just want to cook something that takes care of you. A meal that’s comforting, nourishing, and straightforward enough to make without overthinking it. For me, that kind of reset often starts in the kitchen with a one pot recipe that delivers every time.
This Lemony Chicken and Rice is exactly that kind of meal. It’s satisfying, balanced, and full of bright flavor. Juicy chicken, fresh lemon, tender rice, and veggies all come together in one pot, making it easy to cook once and enjoy again throughout the week.
If you’re looking for a recipe that’s reliable, flavorful, and nourishing, this one’s a great place to start.

Baked Sablefish with Crispy Breadcrumbs(~50min)
This method for cooking sablefish leaves the fish tender and silky, blanketed by deeply golden garlicky breadcrumbs. Sablefish is naturally buttery and rich, so you can treat it really simply for an easy, refined dinner that feels special without being fussy. Chef instructor: Bonny

Ricotta and Spinach Stuffed Spaghetti Squash(~50min)
When you want something cozy and a little bit magical—without feeling heavy—this is the dinner to reach for. Spaghetti squash turns tender and twirlable in the oven, then gets tucked with a creamy, herby ricotta-and-spinach filling that feels like the best parts of baked pasta, minus the fuss. The whole thing finishes with a bubbly, golden cheese cap and a shower of parsley and Parmesan, landing right in that sweet spot between weeknight comfort and “I made something special.”
