I love fresh salads, but I love salads that include fresh fruit even more. Crisp pears give this salad a fresh taste and crunchy texture. You can whip this salad up in a flash for a simple side dish, or even pair it with some soup and you have an entire meal. Homemade red wine vinaigrette tops this delicious salad off. Yum! |

We all get sick of eating beef and chicken sometimes, but it can be hard to think of alternatives. Pork chops are actually one of my favorite new proteins to cook with. Dubbed "the other white meat", pork chops are great because they are as versatile as chicken, yet healthier than beef. This recipe is so simple, but really has some kick with spicy cumin and a mango salsa that will knock your socks off. |

Fresh tuna steak is one of my favorite types of seafood. There are so many ways you can season and cook tuna steaks, but this quick recipe will surely become a staple in your household once you try it. Sweet and tangy honey mustard marinades the fish and gives it such wonderful flavor. Pair it with rice or potatoes, and some fresh vegetables, and you have a fresh, healthy meal in minutes! |

I love to cook fish because it is so versatile and usually simple to make. This is one of my Mom’s creations that helped instill my love of seafood at a young age. Creamy, lemony, herb butter coats the Tilapia and gives it great flavor. You could substitute any fish you like: salmon, halibut, etc. Serve it with some fresh steamed vegetables and you have a quick, healthy, meal! |

I adapted this recipe from one that I saw on a cooking show. They were grilling the chicken, but I didn't have a grill, so I figured sautéing the chicken would work just as well. It is relatively easy to make and pairs well with potatoes, pasta, or rice, and any vegetable. This recipe is actually pretty healthy as well. The rosemary and lemon give it a refreshing taste that is sure to please. |

French fries are a common side dish to go with many American meals, but did you ever try sweet potato fries instead? Well if you haven’t, you are missing out! This simple recipe is easy to prepare and jazzes up the regular burger and fries combo. Plus, these are also healthier than regular fries because sweet potatoes contain vitamins A and C, which are both antioxidants. So the next time you are looking for a delicious addition to your quick meal, throw these babies in the oven and let them work their magic. |

These simple wraps are a perfect change of pace from the normal sandwich. Creamy Thousand Island dressing and Gruyere cheese give it the Reuben flavor but since it is made with turkey, it is much healthier. Try it with some baked potato chips or a side salad, and you have a quick meal that is great tasting and great for you! |

These potatoes go great with almost any meat you would think to pair them with. They are extremely simple to prepare and the longest part is the cooking time. Set them in the oven and basically forget about them for about 20-25 minutes. This allows you plenty of time to prepare the rest of your meal and give those items more attention. Potatoes will come out crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Yummy! |

Sweet potatoes are not just for Thanksgiving anymore! Try these simple roasted sweet potatoes with any main course and you will be wishing the holidays would come a little sooner. These are sweet, like the gooey marshmallow covered kind, but not as bad for you since we use fresh honey to sweeten instead. Toss them up, throw them in the oven, and forget about them for an hour. Enjoy! |

Popeye taught us to eat our spinach at a young age, but if you were like me, you didn't start appreciating spinach until you were older. As a child I hated it and refused to eat it; now I love it. Spinach is one of my favorite side dishes because it is easy, goes with anything, and is also good for you. Oh yeah, Popeye had a good point when he said "Eat yer spinach". Spinach is loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, and iron among other things. So the next time you need a simple dish to accompany your main course, try this quick recipe. Your mouth and your body will thank you. |

Stir fry is easy to make when you are short on time and tight on money. Pick your favorite veggies and whip this meal up in a flash. This is a vegetarian version, but you could also add any protein that you like as well. Serve with some brown or white rice and you have a filling dish that is low on calories too! |
