First - if you’re new here - welcome! I’m a certified functional nutritionist (in training!) who helps women feel empowered in their health journey, learn how to confidently eat well, find healing and support during chronic illness, and gain kitchen confidence through simple, delicious recipes for you and your family!

Did you know that families need to eat dinner 100% of the nights?! (Why do the people need dinner every single night?!) Even as someone who loves cooking through and through, there are some nights I want quick, easy, and of course, nourishing!

Here’s a round-up of some of my favorite go to meals and combinations for easy weeknight dinners!

Easy, Health Dinner Recipes I Swear By!

Taco bowls

This is SUCH a fun way to get a pretty, colorful, and simple meal that requires minimal prep, but that everyone in the family can customize a bit!

I choose a base of rice or diced sweet potatoes, add cooked ground beef or chicken with taco seasonings, then top each plate or bowl with things like shredded cheese, salsa, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, etc.

It seriously couldn’t be easier!
Greek bowls

This is a similar idea as above in that you can highly customize each bowl and have nearly endless amounts of the same base meal on repeat!

(See my Greek Meatball Recipe here!)

I often use a diced white potato or jasmine rice base, then add lots of veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled red onions, pickled banana peppers, and choose between a protein like my Greek meatballs or chicken, then add more fun toppings like feta cheese, Tzatziki sauce (my favorite recipe is in my Fixin’s ebook!) or hummus!
Stir fry

This is another simple dinner that comes together super easily, with the ability to pack in a lot of veggies and good nutrients!

(See my Instagram reel for this, here!)

I start by sauteing all my veggies in coconut oil (things like onions, garlic, shredded carrots, bell peppers, bok choy, mushrooms, etc) and add ground pork, diced chicken, or thin sliced beef, and warming seasonings like ginger and turmeric, sea salt, and coconut aminos. I cook my GF organic ramen noodle cakes separately then stir it all together and top with more coconut aminos and diced green onions!
Nourishing Enchiladas

Now, I could point you to just any enchilada recipe my friend, but I’m going to love you well and point you to my very own recipe inside my Batch E-Cookbook. Why? The book is probably worth it even if just for the enchilada sauce 😂 (although I promise it’s worth EVERY other recipe, too!)
Enchiladas are the easiest meal to throw together and you can pre-prep your chicken or ground beef if you need - I use organic tortillas (for GF I like corn masa or Siete brand), chicken, shredded cheddar, and my homemade enchilada sauce with nourishing bone broth. It doesn’t get easier!!

(Including this old Instagram poll for proof 😂)

5. Burger bowls

The name of the game with this list? Quick, customizable, nourishing. Check, check, check.

I cook either pre-made grass fed patties or make my own patties (my Tots e-book has my burger patty recipe!) and pair it with diced sweet or white potatoes or homemade fries (the fries in Tots…oh my 🤩), plus lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard - you know the drill!

6. Honey Garlic Chicken Noodles

I teased you a bit with that opening photo, didn’t I? This 20 minute meal is a hit with picky kiddos and husbands alike! Similar to a stir fry but with the sweet and savory magical marriage of garlic and honey.

You can find this recipe in my Tots e-cookbook!
