Lightly sweetened with medjool dates, these crunchy almond butter energy bites are just what you need to get through a mid-afternoon mental block. Pop one into your mouth for every task you get through! There's something about a panini cooked with a waffle press that makes it taste just a little better than a normal panini. Not to mention — pressing your sandwich is just a really easy way to give your lunch a crispy texture. A fresh poke bowl gets my appetite going even on days I could happily work through lunch. Whether it's the fatty fish or the vinegar-seasoned rice, it's a combination that I didn't think I could replicate at home until I found this recipe.  Autumn is almost here, and there's no better way to honor those hunger pangs than with a sweet potato hand pie that's crispy, buttery, and sweet. And if you have 5 oz of pie crust at the ready, you can rest assured these pies will be ready within the hour.  This pasta recipe is proof that you don't even need sauce to make a tasty, satisfying plate of penne, as long as you fill your plate with flavorful veggies and lots of garlic. In this case, a wholesome mix of zucchini, carrots, kale, squash, and chicken teams up to create sweet, nutty, and savory flavor.  If you've always wondered how to cook yuca, then this is the perfect gateway recipe to get you hooked. These fritters are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and 100% fried delicious goodness. Cook-out season might be over, but that doesn't mean you can't whip up one of these salmon burgers for a luxurious Friday lunch. The patty comes together in a food processor with skinless salmon, red onion, and seasoning. Pan-fry it until brown then smother with a simple yogurt dill sauce. Yum!   Sometimes, the best thing for an afternoon slump is a snack that can be ready before your sofa can tempt you into a long nap. And believe it or not, everything from mozzarella sticks to banana chocolate french toast can be whipped up in just five minutes.  Sure, you might already own a souper cube and a kitchen oil solidifier — but do you also benefit from a hyper chiller that cools down your hot beverage in a matter of 60 seconds or a pancake batter mixer that makes Sunday morning pancakes an easy, breezy task?
