Chef Ana's Perspective

Chef's Notes

For this week's meals, I would start with the Honey Garlic Butter Salmon Skewers and save some Baked Italian Chicken Breast Milanese with Arugula, Parmesan and Cherry Tomatoes for later. The salmon portions are already divided on skewers, while the chicken's arugula and Parmesan are pictured separately from the breaded cutlets. Refrigerate both promptly and eat within 3–4 days, freezing any portions intended for later in the week.

Read the full notes

I would reheat the Crispy Baked Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce on the Side and Garlic & Herbs Baked Potato Wedges uncovered so their browned surfaces can crisp again. For refrigerated portions, start checking after 12–15 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven and continue until the centers are hot. Keep the remoulade cold and add it after heating rather than spooning it over the crumb coating first.

The cheese omission belongs specifically to the Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Eggs & Vegetables (Without Cheese). I would keep that distinction clear beside the Baked Italian Chicken Breast Milanese with Arugula, Parmesan and Cherry Tomatoes, where Parmesan is part of the dish. Without cheese does not establish that the sweet potatoes are dairy-free, and their egg filling still matters when choosing portions.
