Recipe of the Month: Simple and Quick!
This month, we’re sharing a few suggestions from Stephanie Ewals with Out of the Woods Nutrition. She has some great ideas for families who need a quick – and healthy – option for meals this month.
- Grilled Steak with Roasted Vegetables
- Serve grilled steak with a side of roasted red bell peppers, broccoli, and potatoes. This meal is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free
- Lemon Herb Chicken
- Prepare baked chicken breasts seasoned with lemon and herbs, accompanied by steamed green beans and sweet peas. This dish is versatile and can be easily portioned
- Baked Salmon with Cucumber Salad
- Offer baked salmon fillets with a refreshing cucumber and tomato salad on the side. This meal is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and provides a good balance of flavors
- Gluten Free Pasta Primavera
- Cook gluten-free pasta and toss it with sautéed vegetables like broccoli, red bell peppers, and onions. Use olive oil instead of dairy-based sauce to keep it lactose-free
