Pan-fried scallops are a quick and delicious seafood option that cooks in under 15 minutes, making them perfect for busy weeknights or when you want a tasty, nutritious meal without spending hours in the kitchen. These tender, juicy scallops develop a beautiful golden crust when seared properly, locking in their natural sweetness and creating a mouthwatering texture that’s both crispy on the outside and soft inside.

Besides their delicious flavor, scallops are also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. Including omega-3-rich seafood like scallops in your diet supports overall well-being while providing a lean source of protein. Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the dish and complements the scallops’ natural sweetness beautifully.

Serving pan-fried scallops with fresh herbs like dill adds a bright, slightly tangy flavor that complements the natural sweetness of the scallops, enhancing the overall freshness and making each bite even more vibrant and satisfying.

Za’atar Charred Broccoli is a delicious and healthy dish that combines the bold flavors of Middle Eastern spices with the natural goodness of roasted broccoli. This simple yet flavorful recipe uses za’atar seasoning, a blend of thyme, sesame seeds, sumac, and other spices, to elevate the taste of the broccoli while providing numerous health benefits.

Broccoli is known for its high nutritional value, being rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It’s packed with antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, support detoxification, and promote gut health. Za’atar seasoning, with its mix of antioxidants from thyme and sumac, also brings additional anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. The sesame seeds in the za’atar provide healthy fats that support brain function and skin health.

To make this Za’atar Charred Broccoli, simply toss fresh broccoli florets with olive oil and the za’atar seasoning. Roast them in the oven until charred to perfection, and enjoy the crispy, savory flavors. The charring process not only enhances the taste but also helps to release the beneficial compounds in the broccoli, making it even more nutritious.

This recipe is perfect as a side dish for a variety of meals or even as a light snack. It’s gluten-free, plant-based, and suitable for those following an anti-inflammatory diet. The bold flavors of the za’atar seasoning complement the earthy taste of broccoli, making this dish both healthy and satisfying.

With its nutrient-rich ingredients and simple preparation, Za’atar Charred Broccoli is a must-try recipe for anyone looking to add more plant-based, anti-inflammatory meals to their diet.

Soy Eggs are a flavorful, protein-packed snack or topping, perfect for adding depth to salads, grain bowls, or noodle dishes. This version uses tamari, a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce, making it suitable for gluten-sensitive or celiac-friendly diets while still delivering rich umami flavor.

To make these Soy Eggs, simply soft- or medium-boil your eggs, peel them, and marinate them in a mixture of tamari, water, a touch of maple syrup or honey, garlic, and optional spices like star anise or chili flakes. Let the eggs marinate for 2 to 6 hours—or even overnight—for deeper flavor and color. The longer they soak, the more savory and satisfying they become.

Using free-range eggs ensures you’re starting with a nutritionally superior base. Free-range eggs are higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients compared to conventional eggs. Eggs are also a great source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and key nutrients like vitamin B12, choline, and selenium. These nutrients support brain health, hormone production, energy levels, and cellular repair.

These tamari-marinated soy eggs aren’t just a delicious snack—they’re an anti-inflammatory, gut-friendly addition to your wellness-focused meals. The combination of protein and healthy fats in eggs helps keep you feeling full and satisfied, while tamari contributes beneficial fermentation compounds that support digestion.

Enjoy Soy Eggs as a protein-rich side, a savory breakfast option, or a topping for ramen or grain bowls. Easy to prep in advance, they store well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them a fantastic go-to for quick, nutritious meals throughout the week.
