We love to balance indulgence and nutrition in the Meez kitchen, and this recipe checks all the boxes: garlicy buttery piccata sauce, fresh marinara, heart-healthy shrimp and roasted kale. Plus fresh garlic bread because we couldn’t resist.

We adore the flavors of a classic Souvlaki, but on a busy weeknight, marinating the meat and loading up skewers is more work than we want. Ours is a streamlined version with lemony chicken served over a flavorful rice pilaf and cooling roasted red pepper Tzatziki sauce. it is just as flavorful but without the fuss.

We're hooked on Kung Pao sauces. The spicy sweet flavor just makes stir-fries come to life. We're cooking our version with edamame, carrots and red peppers, then serving it over udon noodles with some peanuts to finish it all off. It's a speedy meal perfect any night of the week. -- To add chicken, steak, salmon, or shrimp, see "ADD PROTEIN” section below entrees. --

Carne asada is all about the marinade, and ours is downright delicious if we do say so ourselves. With just the right blend of lime juice and adobo, it makes these steak tacos sing. Served up with seared peppers, onions, cilantro and plenty of queso fresco.

This is one of those great dishes that tastes fancy but is super simple to make. With roasted red potatoes, fresh kale, crispy leeks and dill butter, this is the salmon dinner you’ve been craving.

Imagine your favorite grilled cheese on steroids. We’re starting with a gouda and provolone grilled cheese made with tender, flavorful whole-grain panini bread. But it’s the fried egg-in-a-hole, roasted beets, butternut squash, kale and honey aioli that make it really special. It’s messy, satisfying, and over-the-moon delicious. -- To add chicken, see “ADD-PROTEIN” section below entrees. --

A simple curry that’s packed with flavor. We’re mixing roasted broccoli and toasted chickpeas with a mellow southern African yellow curry that’s perfect with hearty Himalayan red and brown rice. -- To add chicken, steak, salmon, or shrimp, see "ADD PROTEIN” section below entrees. --

We adore the dark, tangy-sweet flavor of Asian BBQ sauce. We’re pairing it with seared salmon, sautéed carrots and green cabbage for a dinner that’s fresh, tasty, and on the table in just 15 minutes.

We love Chile Rellenos, but the classic version is battered and fried - too much for a busy weeknight dinner. We’ve discovered a streamlined casserole that eliminates that messy step. With rice, black beans, and a flavorful verde sauce, it’s comfort food simple enough for the busiest of nights. -- To add chicken, see “ADD PROTEIN” section below entrees. --

Is there anything more classic than Shepherd’s Pie? With fresh mashed potatoes, perfectly seasoned beef and just the right amount of peas, corn, carrots and cheddar, it’s a recipe the whole family will love.

Forget that instant ramen soup you survived on in college. This is Japan's classic soup cooked up the way it was intended: flavorful broth, tender bok choy, juicy bites of chicken and of course plenty of noodles. We’re not sure if it’s our broth, the fresh cilantro finish, or the authentic egg ribbons that make this dish magic, but whatever it is, it’s a recipe you don’t want to miss.
