Pasta is a favorite amongst my kids, I mean I think that holds true for most of them!? Rather than always using a plain tomato sauce, I like to switch it up a bit and do a bolognese every now and then, which they love, and it adds protein to the dish. This recipe is so simple and delicious!

Here is what you need:

• 1 16oz. Can of tomato sauce

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 lb of ground beef

• 1 cup of red wine, dry

• 1 cup of chopped carrots, onion, and celery

• 1 tsp. Salt

• 1tsp. Oregano

Here is what you do:

Chop all the veggies, and sauté them in olive oil until translucent. Then add the beef and cook until brown. Add the salt, oregano, and one cup of red wine. Let that simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the tomato sauce (I use the Cento canned tomato sauce) and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Serve it over your favorite pasta (I use pasta for the kids, and zucchini noodles for my husband and I) with a little Parmesan. Enjoy!

Looking for a quick, easy, delicious dinner idea? I gotcha covered. This 3 ingredient crockpot meal is soooo good! I made it the other night, and it was a hit.

Here’s what you need:

• 4 boneless chicken breasts

• 1 8oz. Can of crushed pineapples

• 1 16oz. Bottle of barbecue sauce

Here’s what you do:

• Place chicken breasts in crockpot. Mix the barbecue sauce with drained pineapples in a bowl, and then pour it over the chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours. When it’s done shred the chicken in crockpot. I served it over cauliflower rice. Make sure to drain the pineapples, or else the sauce may end up watery.

Enjoy!

Didn’t have a marinade at home, so I put this recipe together on the fly, and it ended up being so yummy!

What you need:

• Package of chicken wings or drums (I used about 3lbs)

• Salt and Pepper

• Parmesan Cheese

• Garlic

• I used a grapefruit infused olive oil, but regular olive oil and lemon juice would work just as well.

What you do:

• Place chicken in a large bowl, and add the oil, salt and pepper (I don’t really measure it out, just use my best judgement), about 4 cloves of crushed garlic, and about 1/3 cup of cheese. Mix it all together.

• I then line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spray a little olive oil spray over it. Place the chicken on the sheet, and bake at 400 for 35-40 mins, flipping half way. I served it with a simple spinach salad dressed in a homemade vinaigrette dressing.

Enjoy!
