Sweet potato, red bell pepper, and baby kale make this quick curry hearty and colorful. These vegetables make the meat almost secondary; just 12 ounces will go far here. If you can’t find baby kale, you can use spinach or lacinato kale cut into 1-inch pieces. Use the rest of the can of coconut milk from the satay to enrich the sauce in the curry.

Fresh asparagus and peas lend a bright spring flavor to the classic bacon, egg yolk, and Parmesan carbonara sauce. To get just the right amount of drippings for the base of the sauce, go for center-cut bacon and cook it slowly over low heat. After cooking the asparagus, remove the skillet from the heat for a minute to cool down before combing the pasta with the egg-yolk sauce; back on the heat, stir the pasta gently but constantly so you don& 39;t end up with scrambled eggs.

This vibrant magenta smoothie bowl is as delicious as it is beautiful. Dragon fruit doesn& 39;t have much flavor (but loads of color), which lets the other ingredients, like delicately sweet almond milk, tangy kombucha, and tart pineapple shine. You can& 39;t go wrong with tropical fruit toppers, but pineapple is quite striking when paired with pepitas and bee pollen.
