This no-fuss weeknight recipe mixes feta cheese with cherry tomatoes to create a salty, cheesy pasta sauce. Just pop the ingredients into the oven, roast, add cooked pasta, and mix! Kids and adults alike will love this. For more protein, simply use lentil pasta or add cooked chicken breast.
Pesto Eggs
How do you like your eggs? I bet you didn’t say, “Cooked with pesto!” But after trying this recipe, you might never go back to another cooking method. Making this viral recipe is simple: just spread a couple of tablespoons of pesto in a skillet in place of butter or oil and crack your eggs on top. Enjoy them scrambled, sunny side up, or over easy. I would enjoy these eggs with homemade Kale and Walnut Pesto and a slice of Crusty Sourdough Italian Loaf.

Swap out that evening cocktail for a sleep-supporting mocktail! This soothing drink is made with only three ingredients: tart cherry juice, magnesium powder, and a bubbly caffeine-free beverage of choice like a prebiotic soda. Magnesium helps relax muscles while tart cherry juice increases your body’s production of melatonin, a key sleep hormone. For those with insomnia, research has shown that tart cherry juice boosts both sleep time and quality.
Cucumber Salad

What’s so special about cucumber salad? Well, millions of people follow TikTok creator Logan Moffitt’s tutorials on how to make a cucumber salad. One of his attention-grabbing trademarks is starting each video by saying, “Sometimes you just need to eat an entire cucumber.” Do so, and you’ll benefit from the humble cucumber’s bounty of nutritional benefits, including high water content, fiber, and vitamin K.
Frozen Fruit Shaved Ice
Viral recipe developers have proven how easy and delicious it is to transform frozen fruit into shaved ice! Just grate frozen fruit like whole peaches and strawberries and then add your desired toppings. Condensed coconut milk and chopped nuts are tasty, satiating options.
Strawberry Glaze Smoothie
Would you buy a smoothie for US$20? That’s the price that Erewhon, a California-based grocery chain, charges for a specialty smoothie made in collaboration with celebrity model Hailey Bieber. As the smoothie is only available to purchase at Erewhon stores in LA, international creators are posting their remakes inspired by the original’s ingredients.
Cottage Cheese Flatbread
This protein-packed flatbread is made with only two ingredients: cottage cheese and eggs. One cup of cottage cheese contains around 22 grams of protein, and two eggs have about 12 grams of protein—so this flatbread packs a whopping 34 grams total! I’d spread a delicious sauce on this flatbread, like pesto or aioli, and then top with an array of veggies.
Nature’s Cereal
This refreshing snack uses a mix of berries as the “cereal” base and coconut water in place of milk. Feel free to add ice cubes too for a summer-friendly twist—perfect for cooling off on a hot day! Not just tasty, Nature’s Cereal also delivers electrolytes courtesy of the coconut water and a range of antioxidants from the berries.
