Maria Rodriguez, breakfast and lunch curator – fast breakfasts, bowls and wraps.

Profile:

Maria Rodriguez curates recipes for the first half of the day: breakfasts like cinnamon sugar baked oatmeal with pecans, chia pudding, Mexican scrambled eggs and Greek yogurt pancakes, and lunches built around bowls, wraps, subs and salads, from a vegan buddha bowl with tahini sauce to a classic Cobb salad.

A lot of her cooking leans on protein and fresh vegetables. Greek yogurt and cottage cheese show up often, chicken and ground beef anchor the meal-prep bowls, and hummus, tahini and sprouted-grain bread add variety. Her recipes also include a handful of dinners, such as quesadillas and nuggets, plus a couple of bakes, including an Ezekiel bread with honey.

What ties it together is practicality: short ingredient lists, simple assembly, and dishes that hold up in the fridge for a packed lunch or a grab-and-go morning. Browse her latest recipes below to find a breakfast or lunch that fits your week.
