Chickpea tikka masala with red kale
I’ve been growing greens in a countertop garden, and I decided to try red kale. Only one of them sprouted, but it did turn a beautiful purple color. I added it to this chickpea tikka masala recipe, which I made in the instant pot and topped with green onions. It lasted for a few delicious…

I tried the “dinner therapist”
The kitchn has a “dear dinner therapist” column by Kelli Foster that answers variations on the question, “what’s something quick but healthy that I can make for dinner?” I found it while also looking for weeknight dinner ideas, and decided to make the easy beef and broccoli noodles and the one-pan caprese baked chicken.
