Whether your idea of the perfect summer is finding adventure outdoors, gathering with family and friends, or lounging solo with a cold beverage and a book, spending hours in the kitchen is probably not high on your agenda.

The good news is you don’t have to sacrifice healthy eating in order to simplify your meal prep. We’ve rounded up a selection of easy-to-make recipes from our Health Hub that let you enjoy a delicious, home-cooked dinner and get back to savoring the rest of your summer.

The cooked components can be made in advance, which lets you keep your oven off and simply assemble the ingredients at mealtime.
