Quick meals for dinner

• Lentil soup (add extra veggies and crushed tomatoes, finish with lemon juice and crumbled feta)

• Fried rice (we make this with plain rice or riced cauliflower)

• Crock pot chicken tacos (make extra to serve over lettuce for quick lunch)

• Sweet potato kale hash (we make a big pan for the family)

• Crock pot picadillo

• 16-minute meal: shrimp scampi

• Stir-fried Udon

• Quick and easy roasted red pepper pasta

• Slow cooker chicken tortilla soup

• Crock pot red lentil curry

• Crock pot pulled pork (sometimes we substitute beer and/or apple cider vinegar for the ginger ale)

• Sheet pan potatoes and chicken sausage (we like Trader Joe's and Aidell's sausage)

• Taco bar (we use tofu or a mix of cooked lentils/toasted walnuts often in place of meat)

• DIY salad bar (big bowl of greens plus veggie choices + protein choices + topping/dressing choices)

{Breakfast for dinner}

• French toast (double dip in batter for extra protein) + bacon + fruit

• Fancy oatmeal bar (my kids love this!): make a pot of steel cut oats and put out a variety of toppings: maple butter, nuts, coconut shreds, cream, chopped fruit, jam, whatever they like!

• scrambled eggs with kale + bacon + fruit smoothies

Breakfast

• Overnight oatmeal jars

• Avocado egg toast - simple and filling!

• "apple pie" (vanilla Greek yogurt, your favorite granola, chunky apple sauce, and maybe a little maple syrup or honey to taste)
