Eat what makes you happy!
Spring is my favorite season (sorry, summer).
The warm weather allows us to shed the heavy sweaters and enjoy the beauty budding all around us.
Spring is also a good time to take a second look at our family meals.
My goal is to feed my family a healthy dinner, but what does that mean?
I want to serve healthy, delicious dinners to ensure dinnertime is everyones favorite part of the day.
Roast chicken is one of my favorite spring meals. Lemon and thyme give the chicken a pop of flavor. I’m a believer inmeat thermometers—pull the chicken out of the oven once it hits 165°F in the thickest part of the breast. Serve withPotato Dinner Rolls.

Mexican lasagna is endlessly versatile.

Use your favorite ground meat and beans, and tailor the spice to your preference.
Also, the casserole can be made the day before and baked the next day.

Soup is a great way to eat multiple food groups at once.

Lemongrass and ginger flavor this Cambodian soup while coconut milk elevates it to creamy perfection.
Any leftovers will be wonderful for lunch the next day.

These sausages are simmered in tomato sauce along with sauteed bell peppers and onions.
The sausages can be served over pasta or polenta if hoagies arent your thing.
