We’ve been mixing in a few new dishes into our regular rotation lately…. and we’ve been loving the variation! I’ve been getting a few questions as to what I shop for on a regular basis and tips for eating healthy when you’re a busy body. You can find my shopping list and meal prep here… I hope it helps! I really believe that when we fuel our bodies with clean, and healthy foods, our entire body benefits… everything from how you feel to how you think… and your confidence. So, hopefully these meals below can give a little inspiration to your weeknight dishes!

When liquid was absorbed, and rice was tender, I sprinkled with some dill.
