4 Easy Dinners for School Nights
Jul 27, 2016
I'm not sure about you, but dinner can cause my cortisol levels can go through the roof when dinner time is ticking closer and I haven't planned or prepared. I start scouring through the refrigerator and thinking about takeout options. I might open and clsoe the refrigerator 10 times. Often I feel stuck in a rut. My brain doesn't work. Recipe scouring sounds like the last thing I want to do.
So. I have a few favorite Go-Tos and they save me every time. My whole family gobbles them down, they take minutes to make and they are both kid and waist-line friendly
Curious?
1. Chicken Sausage, Cabbage and Apple Sautee: Keep apple chicken sausage in your freezer. It takes less than an hour to thaw (yay!). When you're ready for dinner chop up the sausage while you sautee a head of cabbge and 2 sliced up apples in olive oil and coconut aminos. When the cabbage is cooked to your liking add the sausage to warm. Enjoy!!!
2. Burrito Bowls: I buy or cook a rotisserie chicken every week. Toward the end of the week after we've picked it quite a bit I will use the rest to make burrito bowls. I layer chopped lettuce or spring mix with salsa, guacamole, peppers and onions (cooked from frozen in a flash), a few canned organic refried beans (always in my pantry) and jalapenos and then plop the chicken on top. 5 Minutes and done.
3. Pork Amazingness- One of my go-to recipes to deliver to new moms and friends in need (thanks to Momsanity Sister Mary for this one). Toss a 2 pound pork loin (venison loin pictured) in a large ziploc bag the night before with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 T. Steak seasoning. The next morning line your crockpot with sliced onions and then pour in your pork mixture in. Turn that baby on low for 8 hours and shred. Enjoy the delicousness!!!
4. Everything Stir-fry- Toward the end of the week I often empty my "cripser" drawer. Join me. Slice up whatever veggies you have left (fennel, cabbage, zucchini, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower , spinach etc). Sautee in olive oil. Add some meat (already cooked leftovers are great as is shrimp) Add some low-sugar sauce (I love the gluten-free teriyaki from Whole Foods) and enjoy! I love to eat this over sauteed cauliflower rice that I buy pre-chopped and frozen from Trader Joe's.
