Put the ingredients for this meal plan's recipes on your shopping list this week, and discover some new recipes that you'll want to make all summer long.
Ice cream is the quintessential summertime dessert – but you don't need a fancy ice cream maker to be able to whip up your favorite flavors in your own kitchen. In fact, all you need is your blender!
With our almost-effortless no-churn ice cream recipes, you can make classic flavors like chocolate chunk, a tropical fruit sorbet, and a dairy-free spin on coconut lime. These delicious ice cream blends can be made in a matter of minutes, then chilled in your freezer until they're both wonderfully creamy and perfectly cool. Give these recipes a try this weekend, and you'll be able to enjoy scoops all weekend long.
Sure, fresh is often best – but when you can't get your hands on fresh ingredients, you can pull shelf-stable versions out of the pantry or freezer. We recommend keeping these clean eating essentials stocked up every week.
Whether you're trying the Mediterranean diet or simply enjoy Med-inspired meals, you'll want to keep a few key ingredients on hand to make recipes easy. Make sure you always have these chef-recommended essentials.
Instead of relying on sugar to infuse recipes with sweetness, try naturally sweet ingredients – or perhaps some not-so-sweet alternatives. Here's your guide to making sweet treats that are also low in sugar.
