Sheet-Pan Caprese Pizza

This light and flavorful caprese pizza is ready when the tomatoes are just heated through and the mozzarella cheese is slightly melted. If you want a little more on this pizza, it'd be delicious with a few slices of prosciutto. Chef tip: let your dough come up to room temperature before you stretch it--it'll make it much easier to work with.

Meal Prep Tips

A few simple make-ahead steps will keep these Mediterranean-inspired dinners fast and easy all week long.

• Make the Frozen Yogurt Bark first. It needs time to freeze, and once made, it's ready whenever you want a cool, lightly sweet treat.
• Prep vegetables for bowls and salads. Slice cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and any extra raw vegetables you want to use for Monday's shawarma bowls, Wednesday's Cobb salad, and Friday's pizza night side salad.
• Cook or prep chicken ahead. If you're making the Chicken Shawarma Bowls from scratch, marinate or cook the chicken in advance. You can also cook extra chicken to use on Wednesday's Cobb Salad.
• Hard-boil eggs for the Cobb Salad. Make them earlier in the week and refrigerate until ready to assemble dinner.
• Make one simple sauce or dressing. A lemony vinaigrette, tzatziki, or yogurt sauce can be used with shawarma bowls and salads, and even as a quick veggie dip.
• Keep quick sides ready. Couscous, rice, pita, greens, and fresh fruit make these 25-minute dinners even easier to bring to the table.
