Salads

Autumn Salad with Maple Dressing: So easy and SOOOO delicious!! Add a rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken for added protein.

Harvest Cobb Salad: I love this one because you can get your ingredients prepped ahead of time for a quick and healthy dinner.

Vegetarian

Warm Curry Roasted Vegetable Salad: The curry is so light and perfectly compliments the veggies in this dish. If you’re not a huge fan of curry, don’t fear, this is one I think everyone loves!

Low Carb Mushroom & Spinach Cauliflower Rice: This one reminds me so much of a healthy risotto. The mushrooms, garlic and onions give the dish a hearty flavor. I top mine with parmesan cheese for more of that risotto flavor!

Grossy’s Vodka Sawce: Now this is by no meals a “healthy” dish, BUT, it comes together quickly and is the BEST vodka sauce you will ever eat!!

Breakfast for Dinner

Cacio e Pepe Frittata with Lemony Yogurt and Arugula Salad: This comes together so quickly and has so much flavor.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes with Pecans: Double the recipe and turn these into a sheet pan meal! Follow the cooking instructions here for sheet pan alternative.

Sheet Pan/One Pan

Lime Loaded Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas: It’s all in the marinade and that lime crema!! I know it’s a long list of ingredients, but it’s mainly spices. You have to try this one!

Big Mac Casserole: All the yummy goodness without the bun!

Chicken Romano Meatballs: These are lemony and delicious! I serve these on top of cauliflower rice.

Pepper Steak: A one-pan wonder! So much flavor and just a few simple ingredients! 

One-Pot Cheesy Taco Pasta: A fun taco tuesday alternative! 

Soups 

I swear by Gina’s recipes on skinnytaste. Soups are on category you cannot go wrong with trying ALL of her recipes! These are pretty self explanatory. They are hearty, healthy and delicious. 

Sausage and Potato Soup

Lasagna Soup

Turkey Cheeseburger Soup

Cozy, Comfort Food

Sloppy Joe Sheet Pan Totchos: Just like the sloppy joe’s you grew up with, but more fun to eat, nacho style!

Coconut Curry Chicken Crock Pot: This one is full-on curry, and it is delicious. I serve this over Jasmine rice and Naan on the side. For a lighter naan, I use this greek yogurt pizza dough recipe, cut into 4 equal parts, flatten and cook on the stove in a cast-iron skillet for that bubbly naan bread effect. 

Sweet Potato And Ground Beef Bowl: The flavors work so well together in this bowl, don't skimp on the sauce, it adds a fresh taste and ties it all together.

Swedish Meatballs: Do yourself a favor and double the sauce! Serve over egg noodles or cauliflower rice.

Slow Cooker Paleo Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili: This chili is so yummy. Not spicy, just perfectly balanced.

I hope you enjoy these yummy recipes!

All the best,

Lisa
