Sharing some recent dinners 🫶

2024/12/22 Edited to

... Read moreWhen it comes to planning dinner, variety and ease are key for any busy home cook. Whether you're looking for hearty meals or light options, the options are endless. For those in search of healthy yet satisfying meals, consider incorporating lean proteins and fresh vegetables into your recipes. For instance, salads can be a fantastic way to include a balance of nutrients; try a chicken cutlet paired with roasted sweet potatoes, spinach, and a maple balsamic dressing for a delightful spin on a classic. You could also make a healthy twist on tacos by using BBQ chicken pulled tacos with a slaw mix. For a quick meal, Buffalo chicken wraps are a favorite, offering a spicy kick that can elevate any dinner. Additionally, consider a big mac smash taco for a fun take on a beloved fast-food classic, perfect for families wanting a treat. Lastly, if you're seeking healthy alternatives, a dairy-free crispy chicken Caesar salad combines flavors flawlessly while keeping it light. Each recipe not only caters to different tastes but also ensures that your dinner table is filled with excitement and joy. Happy cooking!

Dinners I ate last week to maintain
Here are some examples of dinners I ate in a week to show that you CAN indulge in the foods you love, just everything in moderation. My goal when creating dinner (and I’m not perfect) is to aim for high protein. I’m a pescatarian so my protein mostly comes from eggs, salmon, shrimp etc.
