Chicken Noodle Soup to be exact. So what’s a gluten free grain free girl to do for noodles? Zucchini. Yes, DIY zucchini noodles.

This recipe is super easy if you have chicken stock on hand. I keep several jars in the freezer and try to have one in the fridge ready to go as well. Just dice up some carrots, celery and other veggies of your choice and throw in those yummy zucchini noodles and you’ve got some good old fashioned, yet healthy modern chicken soup.

Jerk chicken normally gets marinaded forever and a day and then grilled up quickly. Here we throw it in the slow cooker so it marinates while it cooks, killing two culinary birds with one stone. Shred the meat and serve it up on rolls for your next game-day bash or just keep the thighs whole for a winner of a chicken dinner.

What to buy: A traditional jerk recipe would use Scotch bonnet chiles, but they can be really hard to find. The more common habanero pepper is a good substitute.

Game plan: You can make the jerk chicken and toast the rolls up to 1 day ahead so all you have to do is warm up and assemble the sandwiches when you’re ready to eat.

This exotic spice blend is used in the colder regions of northern India to accent grains and vegetables. Serve this dish cold or at room temperature as a salad, or warm as a side dish.

Game plan: The salad will keep for 2 days, covered and refrigerated.

Simplicity reigns in this salad of butter lettuce and pumpkin seeds. The roasted garlic and apple juice in the vinaigrette add a welcome twist.

What to buy: If you want to intensify the pumpkin flavor, make the vinaigrette with pumpkin oil.

Game plan: We roast garlic a few times a week and keep it around to add a subtle layer of flavor to dishes. Put a whole head of garlic in a 400°F oven and roast until the cloves are soft when pressed. Pull off a clove as needed and pinch it between your fingers until the roasted clove comes out.

The vinaigrette develops a more complex flavor as it sits. It can be made up to 5 days ahead, refrigerated, and warmed to room temperature before using. Top romaine, iceberg, or butter lettuce with it.

What to buy: When purchasing nectarines, look for freestone varieties—their flesh separates easily from the pit.
