What’s for Dinner?

It can be overwhelming to search the internet for “healthy recipes” the results are endless. Here are a few of my recent favorite recipes. I love recipes that have all the things in one (protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and flavor)! Otherwise, my go-to is a big sheet pan of roast vegetables and potatoes and pair it with easy to cook meat like pork loin or chicken. Hope this helps get some ideas going 😊
