Monday: Turkey Burgers with Spinach, Feta & TzatzikiAlthough Memorial Day is not traditionally celebrated in Mexico, now that we live in Austin, my husband and I decided to celebrate it this year and host a small gathering with friends. So, we’ll fire up the grill and make these juicy turkey burgers. Using tzatziki rather than standard burger toppings, like ketchup, makes them feel a bit fancier than a classic burger, plus it takes the flavor to a whole new level. For an anti-inflammatory boost, I’ll make this deliciousKale Salad with Balsamic & Parmesanto serve as a side.Get the Recipe

Tuesday: Baked Spinach & Feta Spaghetti SquashPhotographer: Stacy K. Allen, Props: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Julian HensarlingSpaghetti squash isn’t common in Mexico. I first tried it here in the U.S., and it has become one of my favorite vegetables. This veggie contains vitamin C and beta carotene—two compounds with anti-inflammatory benefits. Baking blocks of feta with fresh spinach and garlic inside the squash makes a delectable and creamy vegetarian dish. Topping it with a drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a bold, slightly sweet touch.Get the Recipe

Wednesday: Creamy Tomato Salmon SkilletPhotographer: Carson Downing, Food Stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop Stylist: Gabriel GrecoThis creamy recipe feels like a hug, making it a perfect option for hump day. Salmon is one of the top sources ofomega-3 fatty acids, which are known to help quell inflammation and positively impact your health. Tomatoes are rich in a powerful antioxidant called lycopene, and pairing them with healthy fats, such as those in the salmon, helps increase the absorption of this compound. To complete the meal, I’ll serve this dish over quinoa.Get the Recipe

Thursday: BBQ Chicken Tacos with Red Cabbage SlawOne thing I love about this recipe is how easy and quick it is. Using cooked chicken breast and prepared barbecue sauce saves you a lot of time. I also like buying pre-shredded red cabbage to speed up the process even more.

I’ll have some mixed berries as a fresh dessert afterward for additionalanti-inflammatory benefits.Get the Recipe
