Method

Creamy Tomato Pasta

  1. 1

    Sauté finely diced onion and garlic in a pan until fragrant, then add ground beef and break it up, cooking until browned.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Onion becomes translucent and garlic is fragrant. Break up ground beef with a spoon for even browning.

  1. 2

    Add dry pasta shells and stir to coat, then pour in milk and a splash of broth and coconut milk, stirring until the pasta is submerged in a creamy orange‑colored sauce.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Sauce turns a creamy orange color. Stir occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking.

  2. 3

    Cover the pot and let the pasta cook for about 15 minutes.

  3. 4

    Remove the lid, garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve.

Chicken Soup

  1. 5

    Sear chicken pieces in a pot until browned, then add finely diced onion, garlic, and seasoning blend, cooking until the onion is caramelized.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is browned on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pot for better searing.

  1. 6

    Add chopped sweet potato, pour in broth and coconut milk, and simmer until vegetables are tender.

  2. 7

    Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and serve hot.

Sheet Pan Gnocchi

  1. 8

    Toss gnocchi, broccolini, and diced orange vegetables with a seasoning blend of salt, pepper, and dried herbs on a sheet pan.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Gnocchi is golden and vegetables are tender. Spread ingredients in a single layer for even roasting.

  1. 9

    Roast until the gnocchi is golden and the vegetables are tender, then sprinkle grated cheese over the dish and serve.

  2. 10

    Quinoa with Sweet Potato & Sausage: In a skillet, combine cooked quinoa, sliced sausage, chopped sweet potato, and kale.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Sweet potato is soft when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to combine flavors.

  3. 11

    Add broth, season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs, and cook until the sweet potato is soft and the flavors meld.

  4. 12

    Stir in a handful of goat cheese (if available) for extra creaminess before serving.

  5. 13

    Black Bean & Chickpea Bowl: Sauté chopped onions in oil, then add tomato paste and stir to develop flavor.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tomato paste darkens and becomes fragrant. Stir constantly to prevent burning.

  6. 14

    Add black beans, chickpeas, corn, and a splash of broth, cooking until heated through.

  7. 15

    Season with additional salt, pepper, and dried herbs, then serve as a hearty vegetarian‑friendly bowl.

Meatball Bake

  1. 16

    Arrange raw meatballs on a bed of broccoli and diced potatoes in a baking dish.

  1. 17

    Sprinkle grated cheese over the assembled dish.

  2. 18

    Bake until the meatballs are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Tips while you cook

Keep lid on pasta
Cover the pot while the pasta simmers to retain heat and moisture.
Season after caramelizing onions
Add the seasoning blend once the onions are caramelized.
Stir gnocchi midway
