More Quick and Easy 30-Minute Recipes (Non-Pasta)
It filled my heart to hear that some of you already tried some of the pasta recipes from last week’s newsletter, Quick and Easy 30-Minute Pasta Recipes, and enjoyed them. 💛
My friend Margarita requested quick and easy recipes, so I thought I would share another list of ValeCook’s approved recipes. But—this time, they are not just quick and easy pasta recipes but non-pasta recipes that take 30 minutes or less to make for lunch or dinner. 🍽️⏱️

And add to this list the two salmon recipes I tried below. They are so tasty 😋🐟.

This Week’s Recipe Test Summary
Impress Someone🌟
Sophie’s Green Juice Ice Pops from Bonberi 🍏❄️
As you might remember, I am a big “paletas” girl. This one is perfect if you are craving a healthier sweet treat. I’ve eaten them all.
I bought some fresh Costco salmon and made two salmon recipes. This one is so easy but feels elegant. It is a great main protein dish when you have friends or family over for dinner.
Would Make Again 👍
Another easy, quick recipe that is really good.
Would Not Make Again 👎
These recipes didn’t live up to expectations or weren’t to my taste.

Gnocchi with Broccoli and Lemony Ricotta from Hot Sheet: Sweet and Savory Sheet Pan Recipes for Every Day and Celebrations🥦🍋
I have seen Chef Bae | Brooke Baevsky all over TikTok, but this one was a no-go.
I prefer this orange chicken recipe, which I always made in college.
