Healthy Dinner Recipes To Make This Week- Quick and Easy!
I hesitate to even call these “recipes”, because they are SO quick and easy to make. In no way do I consider myself a professional chef so I aim for things that are healthy, filling, and of course SUPER easy to make.
When planning healthy dinner recipes for the week, I try to find ingredients that cross over from one dinner to the next. It saves a bit of money and makes grocery shopping easier and faster. (The name of the game these days!)
