The pasta bake calls for cottage cheese. The brand I wanted was out of stock and the brand they had I've never gotten it home, had it in the fridge a few days and before the expiration date it's still moldy. So I didn't have cottage cheese and got some silken tofu instead. It worked out great! I also was able to use fresh basil and oregano from the garden. Both my 4 and 2 year old ate it well. I think it will become a future family staple.
This feels like a dumb question but I only see baby golden Yukon potatoes at my store(Not a Trader Joe’s)-Do we know about how many cups two large Yukon gold potatoes yields or is there some other way to figure out the equivalent yield?
not a dumb question!! I'd just double the amount of small potatoes, so grab 4!
Two large Yukon gold potatoes are about 1 to 1.5 pounds in weight, so you could go off of that if possible, you'll want about 3 cups of diced potatoes for the sheet pan, but it's totally fine if you have a little more or less for the sheet pan, it's flexible!
Headed to get these item at my local Trader Joe’s on the West Coast. Can I make these meals dairy free? Half of the family is congested with a summer flu. Yay for back to school germ sharing *sarcasm*
Hi Ashley! Each recipe includes dairy-free swaps in the notes! For the dump and bake pasta, you can use dairy-free ricotta cheese in place of cottage cheese and dairy-free shredded cheese (or make this one and freeze it for when everyone's recovered!!).
I did your saucy kale,chicken, and chickpea recipe and it was amazing. A super easy one pan meal and a lot of leftovers. I did add some orzo to the meal!
Hi Shay! I recommend using a macro counter, like Samsung Food, it's free! You can pop in the links right from my website and it calculates the macros for you.
Thank you Jenn!! I’m getting my hair done this week so truly appreciate this !

I’m so glad I found you. How many do your recipes feed?
aw I'm so glad too!!! each one makes 4 servings!
What’s a replacement for cottage cheese if you can’t eat dairy?
Try dairy free ricotta! Kite Hill has a good option!
Thanks!
We used silken tofu and it worked great!

Does anyone have the macros for each recipe?
Hi Shay! I recommend using a macro counter, like Samsung Food, it's free! You can pop in the links right from my website and it calculates the macros for you.
Do you have a vegetarian membership plan?
Hi Haven! I do not have a separate membership for vegetarians as not all my recipes are vegetarian. Swaps are included for many recipes though!
