    Meat and Three Recipes

    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!
