As much as I like a decided season of indulgence, even I can only take so much richness. That’s why I break up the series of festive meals with a week or two of lighter fares. A sweet and spicy shrimp and broccoli dinner in the beginning of the week is pretty hands off thanks to a large sheet pan and the oven. Pork chops on Wednesday make use of in-season pears in a tangy ginger sauce. Thursday’s hearty low carb “brinner” (breakfast for dinner) is an egg dish that is also gluten-free. Not only will this week’s meals give you a break from extravagant dinners, many of them will cut down on time spent in the kitchen preparing dinner. These recipes can be prepped in 15 minutes or less.
