Monday or Tuesday nights are often my "sheet pan" nights since they make meal prep simple while that beginning-of-the-week stress tends to be high. This particular sheet pan dinner is a favorite of mine, and my kids love it too! I use my CW's All-Purpose Marinade and Dressing (see recipe below) to marinate the meat, so you avoid all the added salt and mystery ingredients from a store-bought marinade - plus it's healthier and more flavorful!
Read MoreI like to serve Mom’s Healthy Pan-Fried Chicken over some greens tossed with a light lemon dressing or vinaigrette to balance the chicken’s rich buttery crust. Served over greens, you’ve got a full meal, but it’s just as easy to serve without greens and with side dishes for kids.
Read MoreI know the research: foods cooked at home are lower in calories, saturated fat, sodium and sugar. So I’ve been working to find some quick dinner recipes with minimal cooking, and these Asian Chicken Lettuce Cups are one that’s been a perfect solution.
Read MoreI honestly don't know where to begin with this salad because it is just SO good. I love the combination of greens, fruit, cheese, nuts and veggies in my salads. Now use my favorite local peaches, arugula, red onion, tomato, walnuts and goat cheese and you've got a pretty top notch salad. Top it with grilled chicken marinaded in my homemade all-purpose marinade and you really can't go wrong!

Recently, I ordered some fish tacos at a local restaurant that I couldn't wait to come home and try to recreate - with a healthy spin of course!
Read MoreYou know THE recipe that you just automatically associate with family dinners? The one you always request when you go home to see mom and dad? Well, this is mine! My brothers and I have referred to it for years as “Dad’s Pork Tenderloin” and now my kids refer to it as “Papa’s Pork Tenderloin”. And, it’s what we eat almost anytime we’re all together. I hope y’all enjoy my family’s Favorite Pork Tenderloin.
Read MoreThis dish balances perfectly both tangy and sweet, while also providing just enough kick, thanks to the cayenne pepper. You'll love the surprise hint of lime instead of the expected lemon. The pan-sear gives this salmon a crisp and savory finishing touch.
Read MoreI think it is safe to say that we are always on the hunt for healthy, kid-friendly dinners that can be prepared quickly and not break the bank. Minimal ingredients are always a bonus too - am I right? Well, in order to help us out (myself included!), I have asked some of my friends and fellow food bloggers to share their favorite and/or most popular "Clean" Kid-Friendly Dinners.
Read MoreAsian Chicken & Broccoli Salad is one of my favorite lunches to make in advance for a busy week because the flavors actually get better as it sits -- not to mention that it can be made in just a few minutes thanks to a bag of broccoli slaw and a rotisserie chicken!
