Salmon Recipe with Parmesan Roasted Carrots
EatWell101 + Your Home Based Mom (ps I love her blog name!)
I told you we eat this a lot. I was not kidding. We had the salmon glaze ready to go left over from last week. This time we added a newbie side with Parmesan Roasted Carrots and it’s a winner. This dinner seems fancy. Ready in 25 minutes, healthy, and delicious. On Monday’s we have dance, so Jeff gets home before me and the girls. He can pop this in the oven, and it’s ready by the time we get home.

Italian White Beans + Escarole Soup from Ina Garten
Ina Garten
Another classic. So cheap and easy. Ina… Sweet, sweet, Ina recommends using home made chicken stock. We obviously passed on that suggestion. We also switch out Escarole with Kale because it’s more accessible. Like Ramen, any dark leafy green would probably work.
Here is the recipe:
See we use it all the time!

Wednesday… Let’s be real, not all nights end up with home made dinners.
The girls were sick and momma went through the Jason’s Deli drive thru. Their seasonal Black Currant Ice Tea is awesome though.
Thursday too…
We had scrambled eggs for dinner. Ladies… You know what kind of day it’s been if you have scrambled eggs at 8pm.

White Chicken Chili
The Real Food Dietitians
We make this over and over. It’s incredibly full of flavor. Jeff adds the jalapenos to his at the end because it has plenty of spice for me and the girls. We aren’t sure why they call it a chilli, it’s more of a soup.
We went to the zoo that day, and it was the perfect set it in the crockpot, come home to deliciousness dinner meal.

Butternut Squash Vegan Mac n Cheese
Clean Eats by Tay
Where are my vegan loves? I love making vegan recipes for dinner, BUT I have to get really honest with you… I will not be making this again. If you watch my Instastories you know this was a little more labor intensive than I like. Plus washing a pot, and a colander, and a blender, and a baking dish, AND a pan?! I can’t. We didn’t do the tomatoes. Maybe that was the issue. Regardless, it was meh. I love butternut squash so much, but this didn’t nail it for me.
All that to say, please send me your delicious vegan meal ideas to share. I would love us all loving more vegan options.
