I love to make rich, gooey mac and cheese from scratch with a creamy béchamel, heaping handfuls of sharp cheddar, and some Parmesan tossed in for good measure. Or if I’m keeping it simple, I’ll make a quick sauce of heavy cream reduced until thick, with some herbs and cheese whisked in.

I also have a special love for the cheap, buck-a-box stuff, too, mainly because my kids can whip it up themselves whenever they need an after-school snack. With two double-digit-aged kids in my house, it’s safe to say my pantry always has a box at the ready.

Unsurprisingly I’m not alone. According to the New York Times, about 2 million boxes of mac and cheese are sold in the United States each day. Clearly, we love the stuff, which is why there seems to be an ever-growing number of variations, from spicy Buffalo cheddar to dairy-free.

And even among basic cheddar versions there’s a wide range of brands to choose from. Which one is the best? And what about those “deluxe” versions that use a thick cheese sauce rather than a packet of powder that cost three times the price — are they worth it?

Pasta makes an appearance on our meal plan at least once a week. My two young kids love it and are guaranteed to eat whatever it’s served with, and it’s also inexpensive!

I’d like to think that all pasta recipes are family-friendly, but it doesn’t hurt when a recipe checks the following boxes: It’s easy to cook and clean up, it includes enough vegetables to make sure everyone gets their daily intake, and it has plenty of flavor that both kids and adults will love.

Here are 10 family-friendly pasta recipes that always make my meal plan.

This recipe keeps it simple, without sacrificing flavor. Broiled salmon steaks are served over seared tomatoes and peppery arugula for a warm main course salad. The salad is dressed with invigorating Primal Kitchen Lemon-Turmeric Vinaigrette, adding bright citrus flavor and turmeric’s revitalizing health benefits.

There’s a reason this cut of salmon is a called “steak” and it’s not only the shape. Salmon steaks are thick and meaty and can be just as satisfying as a regular steak. The middle bone and surrounding skin keep the fish from drying out while cooking, ensuring that your salmon will be juicy and flavorful.

Time in the Kitchen: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 5 to 6 ounces arugula (several big handfuls) (170 g)
• 2 to 4 salmon steaks, depending on the size (plan on about 8 ounces/226 g per person)
• ½ cup Primal Kitchen Lemon Turmeric Vinaigrette & Marinade (120 ml)
• 2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil or extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)
• 16 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved (450 g)

Instructions

Scatter the arugula evenly on a large platter. Set aside.

Heat broiler to high. Place steaks on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Brush a thin layer of Primal Kitchen Lemon Turmeric Vinaigrette on the top of the salmon steaks (reserve the rest of the vinaigrette to dress the salad). Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, until the top of the salmon is nicely browned – keep an eye on it so the edges don’t burn. Flip the steaks over, and broil 3 to 5 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the steaks

While the salmon cooks, heat the oil in a skillet until hot and shimmering. Add cherry tomatoes. Be careful – oil will splatter. Cook the tomatoes, untouched, for 3 minutes, then stir once and cook another few minutes until the tomatoes are collapsed and blackened in places. Sprinkle a little sea salt on the tomatoes as they cook. Remove the tomatoes from the pan and scatter over the arugula.

Place the cooked salmon steaks on top of the arugula and tomatoes. Drizzle Primal Kitchen Lemon Turmeric Vinaigrette over the platter.

If you’re like the majority of Americans — 64 percent, according to the National Coffee Association — you rely on that first cup of coffee to get you going each morning. Well, devotees of Bulletproof coffee, the trendy drink that infamously introduced butter to brew, claim the stuff can give you even more, and longer-lasting, energy.

Let’s face it — most of us would gladly chug movie-theater-popcorn-flavored java by the gallon if it were true. So, is it?

All those bits of beauty advice your mom gave you growing up were true — wash your face, use moisturizer, get your beauty sleep — but sometimes it’s so easy to bypass a nightly routine instead of jumping in bed a few minutes early. Although, let’s be honest: you’re probably scanning your phone for part […]

The new podcast from Trader Joe’s, “Inside Trader Joe’s,” is surprisingly fascinating. I wasn’t expecting to get into a podcast about a grocery store (I normally prefer the riveting world of listening to people play Dungeons and Dragons online), but “Inside Trader Joe’s” keeps answering questions I didn’t know I had.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means when bells ring in the store, or why bananas are sold individually, you’re not alone.
