This week’s lineup focuses onheart-healthydinners, which means they are all low in sodium and saturated fat. This is important for those who are managing conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as for anyone who’s just trying to support their heart health in the long run. Plus, since these meals are made in one pan, they’re simple to make and easy to clean up after, so you can get back to watchingthe Olympics.Your Weekly PlanSunday:One-Pot White Bean, Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo with Lemon & FetaMonday:Skillet Lemon Chicken & Potatoes with KaleTuesday:One-Pot Garlicky Shrimp & SpinachWednesday:Spicy Chicken and Snow Pea SkilletThursday:Chipotle-Orange Broccoli & TofuFriday:Lemon-Garlic Steak with Green BeansGet the Shopping List01of 06Sunday: One-Pot White Bean, Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo with Lemon & FetaPhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Julia BaylessThis dish is not only healthy and delicious, but it’s also vibrant and eye-catching, so everyone at the table will be excited to dig in. Toasting the orzo deepens its flavor, while the sun-dried tomatoes add a little intensity of their own.

I’ll serve this meal with some whole-grain bread.Get the Recipe03of 06Tuesday: One-Pot Garlicky Shrimp & SpinachPhotographer: Antonis Achilleos, Prop Stylist:Christine Keely, Food Stylist:Chelsea ZimmerAny dinner with shrimp feels like a special-occasion meal to me because I don’t have it very often even though it’s such an easy protein to cook.Shrimpand spinach are both quick-cooking, so you can have this “fancy” dinner on the table in just 25 minutes. Serve it with whole-wheat baguette to sop up the garlicky sauce.Get the Recipe04of 06Wednesday: Spicy Chicken and Snow Pea SkilletTonight, let’s add a little spice—in the form ofharissa paste, a garlicky North African condiment made with dried chiles. It contributes complex flavor to this simple combination of chicken, snow peas, chickpeas and cherry tomatoes. A scoop ofstrained (Greek-style) yogurton each serving adds both protein and a creamy, cooling element. Serve it with toasted French bread for a crunchy element.Get the Recipe05of 06Thursday: Chipotle-Orange Broccoli & TofuThursday is when my energy for cooking dinner every night starts to wane, so some stir-friedbroccoliand tofu is a good choice. Orange juice and chipotle peppers form the base of a sweet, smoky sauce for the main components. Serve it all with someprecooked brown rice, which you can find in the freezer section at most supermarkets or in shelf-stable packages in the rice aisle, so there’s one less thing to make.Get the Recipe06of 06Friday: Lemon-Garlic Steak with Green BeansJason DonnellyAdmittedly, my favorite steak is a rib-eye, but when I’m looking for something leaner, I’ll turn tostrip steak, which has less saturated fat. After cooking the steak, you’ll cook the green beans in the same pan, so they can pick up a little richness from the steak drippings.
