Quick and delicious weeknight meals
We had this tasty vegetarian pasta dish last week. It was very quick and easy to prepare, quite delicious, and reminded me of springtime. The store didn’t have frozen lima beans so I substituted frozen edamame (baby soybeans). Edamame are packed with protein and quite …
Here is a super easy and healthy Asian-inspired dinner. Chicken is sauteed in soy sauce and light brown sugar and then tossed with toasted sesame seeds. The sesame chicken is piled on top of soba noodles and greens that have been drizzled with a simple …
