Many nights I make beautiful, well thought out dinners. Other nights I dig through the fridge and make it look pretty. Kid-Approved! ✅

Pro Tip: Do one thing on a Monday that helps you eat healthier all week long!

I cooked a batch of quinoa between work calls today. I’ll add a scoop to salads, side dishes, quinoa (instead of rice) bowls, etc.

My dinner at the baseball field tonight consisted of 1/2 c quinoa, 1/2 c black beans, 1/2 c salsa, avocado, lettuce, olives, sunflower seeds. Random mix at the end there but gosh was it so good. I also added about a tablespoon of prepared good seasons salad dressing to bring it all together.

Hate to say I told you so, but…. I told you so 😉

Have you tried Palmini noodles? WOW! I made this ground chicken stir fry with them tonight and am impressed! Great way to increase your veggie intake 🎉
It also took about 15 minutes to make 🎉🎉
AND the original recipe is written for two servings, for those of you on the hunt for recipes for 1-2 🎉🎉🎉

Salsa chicken bowls for dinner tonight!
Season three chicken breast liberally with salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder and garlic powder on both sides. Place in a slow cooker. Add one jar of thick and chunky salsa and cook on LOW for 2 hours. Shred the chicken with two forks and put back in crockpot.

Tonight I served with air fried sweet potatoes (season liberally with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder and garlic powder; air fry on 400 degrees for 20-25 mins), black beans and homemade guacamole. 🥑

Note: this salsa chicken makes a TON of shredded chicken. I’ll use leftovers to make a Tex-Mex casserole this weekend!
