    Meat and Vegetables

    Being from the South means I have an unnatural love for the traditional 'meat and three' restaurant - a sacred place where you get to choose your meat dish along with three sides of veggies.

    But, I've flipped that concept on it's head - I like to start with the veggies and add meat to round it out. This keeps the meals light and healthy, not to mention making both my vegetarian and meat-eaters happy.

    Take a look at some of my favorite meat and three recipes below.. hope you enjoy!

    Vegetarian Recipe Ideas

    Even though our family eats gluten free, everything else about our diets are pretty different. My husband has been a vegetarian for almost 30 years, so we usually start our meals with a veggie base and then add meat when necessary. Some of our favorite family recipes are vegetarian! So I wanted to be sure to share those with you too.

    Chicken Recipe Ideas

    Chicken is one of the most versatile proteins in my kitchen. It's so easy to add to almost any veggie dish to give it that little something extra. Take a look at some of my favorites below. Many of these recipes make delicious vegetarian options as well by subbing in tofu or a hearty vegetable - just offer the chicken on the side! Hope you find some fantastic new chicken dinner ideas.
