Egg Roll in a Bowl

This is seriously so easy! And both my kids inhaled it! I made it with ground turkey and added some "sausage seasoning" to it so it would taste like sausage. I also used more soy sauce than they called for since my meat wasn't as salty as sausage. Also added a tablespoon of honey for a hint of sweetness. So yummy!!

Served with jasmine rice.

Cold-Fighting Couscous Chicken Soup

Soups are one of my go-to dinners! Love just throwing everything in a pot and letting it do it's thing. This was so good that I made it twice. The kids loved it too! I had never thought to put couscous in a soup before. The pearl couscous is larger than the typical kind. Perfect for soups. You could substitute rice too!

My changes: 
Didn't have leeks or lemongrass so I didn't add them. But I'm sure they would be great in this!

Spinach Zucchini Lasagna

Made this the other night along with a regular lasagna for company. Those of us who are trying to lose weight opted for this one. Really yummy! You can easily assemble it ahead of time, pop it in the fridge and then just bake it right before dinnertime. Great healthy option! :)

Thai Cashew Chopped Salad

This was so good! Love recipes like this that make a lot. Then I will have lunch ready for myself for the next 2-3 days.
The dressing is to die for! Great vegetarian option when you're trying to cut back on calories and meat intake.

Rosemary Chicken/Potatoes/Green Bean Sheet Pan Dinner

Does it get any easier than sheet pan dinners? I don't think so! Love these kind of meals! Less clean up is always a bonus!

This is super simple and delicious! Anytime veggies are roasted they are going to taste better (in my opinion!) Change it up to what you enjoy most.
