Anchor Recipes

Welcome to your Every Night Anchor Recipes: an ad-free collection of my favorite recipes to make “every night.” After writing a database of 3,000 recipes over on my website A Couple Cooks, these are the ones I turn to most frequently: and that I hear the most about from my readers.

They’re all Mediterranean diet-inspired, meaning chicken, seafood, and plant-based options that feature lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, minimal dairy, and olive oil. Each recipe lists whether it fits a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free diet.

If you like tracking macros or want more information about a recipe, you’ll find a link at the bottom to the article on ACoupleCooks.com.
