Nutrient-Rich Recipes

Hey everyone, I must admit, meal prep is not my strong suit—I give major props to those who nail it. Attempting to do it on a consistent day each week is a struggle; after tackling laundry and cleaning, I’m usually running on empty! Share any meal prep tips you swear by in the comments please!

As a busy mom, finding easy, nutritious meals that align with my mission to reduce inflammation and sneak in veggies is a top priority. Of course, we’re all about balance too. Fridays are our go-to for ordering pizza, sushi, or Thai food—because who doesn’t love a treat at the end of the week?

I’ve rounded up three of my favorite dishes that tick all the boxes: kid-friendly, & nutritious.
To make my life easier sometimes I’ll have the husband grill up a bunch of chicken & veggies to use for various meals throughout the week.

Chicken gyro pitas with homemade tzatziki sauce

This recipe has become a family favorite, especially the irresistible sauce—I could practically drink it! Just ask my brother-in-law, Brian; he insists my husband cooks it for every family get-together. It’s that good. The versatility is incredible; skip the chicken and pita for a nutritious veggie-packed power bowl. Opt for a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken if time is tight.

What I adore most is the endless variations. Feel free to throw in your favorite veggies—I personally load up on cilantro. Did you know cilantro, also known as coriander leaves, is a nutritional powerhouse? Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it not only adds flavor but may also lower inflammation, promote heart health, and aid digestion. A tasty and health-conscious choice!

Savor the Flavor: Wholesome and Hearty Chili Delight

During hectic evenings, I enjoy having a crockpot-prepared dinner. Especially with Winter coming & the cold weather it hits the spot. This chili recipe is satisfying and packed with vegetables. Avocado and ample cilantro make the perfect toppings for mine.

Lemon Olive Oil Dressing

I recently realized how simple and tastier homemade salad dressings can be. Not only are they healthier, packed with nutrients, but this lemon olive oil dressing has become a favorite. A recent study even suggests that the combination of garlic and lemon juice may contribute to lowering cholesterol levels and improving blood pressure in those with elevated lipids.

You can transform salads into a variety of meals by incorporating ingredients like cilantro, avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, onions, and quinoa. The possibilities are endless!
