Sheet Pan Meals

Sheet pan meals are super easy and fast meals that can be mixed up in countless different ways. All you need is 1/4 cup marinade, 1 lb protein, and 2 cups vegetables. Mix and match! Any marinade, protein, or vegetables are fair game.

Add all of your ingredients to a parchment-lined sheet pan and backe at 400 degrees for roughly 20 minutes.

Pasta Dishes

Pasta dishes are another easy way to toss dinner together without a clear cut recipe. Mix it up and get creative! Use different pastas that are higher in fiber and protein for a more filling dish or try bean/lentil pasta, whole wheat pasta, or a pasta alternative such as spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles (“zoodles”) for a lower calorie option. Add different veggies and protein to your liking!

Salads

There is no RIGHT recipe for salad and that’s part of what makes them such a great meal for the whole family. Try strawberry spinach salad, Cobb salad, chicken salad, bean salad, chopped salads…just grab yourself some dark greens and top it with protein, veggies, and other toppings of your choice!
