Mae's Menu

I refined this Chicken Bolognese after visiting Bologna — the birthplace of Bolognese — using strategic techniques to make it rich, meaty, and so deeply flavorful that nobody ever guesses it's chicken. 🍝

Sun-dried tomatoes, red w**e, a triple tomato sauce, and 24g of protein per serving. The perfect, healthier weekend comfort food recipe!

Sometimes you just need a Saturday baking project — and these Blueberry Zucchini Muffins are the one. 🫐

Warmly spiced, packed with juicy blueberries, and a great way to use up any leftover zucchini — plus the hidden veggie situation means my little guy eats two without complaint. Make a batch on the weekend, and snacks and breakfasts are completely sorted for the week. 💃

Garlicky, lemony, buttery shrimp scampi on the table in 15 minutes — and it tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant. 🍋 🍤

This Healthy Shrimp Scampi is lighter than the classic but just as delicious, with 23 grams of protein per serving and only one pan to clean up.

Sunday meal prep tip that has changed my weeknights in a big way: cook one big batch of protein at the start of the week and build everything else around it. 🙌

Mojo chicken, grilled steak, BBQ chicken, tuna salad — or even a rotisserie chicken for the extra-harried weeks! — whatever sounds good. Slice it over salads, tuck it into wraps, pile it on bowls.

One cook session, five easy dinners. What protein are you prepping this week? 👇

The perfect end-of-summer side dish: no oven, no heat, no fuss — just a fresh, herby Greek Quinoa Salad that comes together in minutes and gets better the longer it sits. 🫒

Savory, crunchy, and loaded with good stuff — bring it to a cookout, serve it alongside grilled chicken or salmon, or meal prep it for the week ahead.

Warm, custardy, and loaded with sweet cinnamon-spiced peaches — this Peach Bourbon Bread Pudding is the dessert you absolutely need to make this weekend. 🍑

Buttery brioche soaked in a silky custard with a little bourbon for good measure, served hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It's pure summertime indulgence and so worth it.

The weekend is almost here, and this Greek Penne Pasta Salad needs to be on your menu. 🫒 Zesty, herby, no mayo, and ready in 25 minutes — it pairs perfectly with burgers, grilled chicken, or anything else you're throwing on the grill.

Make it tonight or tomorrow and enjoy it all weekend.
