Balsamic Roasted Asparagus is a super easy side dish that you can enjoy with any meal. Roasting enhances the natural sweetness of the asparagus, and the balsamic vinegar provides a nice tang.

Two favorite comfort foods – mac & cheese and chili – come together in my incredibly easy, 30-minute, nutritious one pot meal! Instead of white pasta and cheese being the base of this recipe, lean ground turkey, beans, tomato sauce, salsa, and veggies are the star, which makes this Chili Mac great for sneaking extra veggies and lean protein into your diet.
Quick-cooking ground beef is the perfect ingredient for an easy, fast meal. These quesadillas are filled with beef, cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. The assembly is no-fuss: Just fold in half, and bake in the oven until crispy. Serve these with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or low-fat sour cream.
This recipe makes about 2 tablespoons of Taco Seasoning, which is perfect for replacing one 1.25-oz. packet of store-bought seasoning. I use this recipe to season 1 lb. of meat.
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1½ teaspoons chili powder ½ teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon dried oregano ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon cornstarch ½ cup water Directions: In a small bowl, mix all of the spices and the cornstarch together. Add the taco seasoning, along with ½ cup of water to 1 lb. of cooked ground meat; bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turkey burgers topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese are a light and healthy quick lunch or weeknight meal. Serve these over a whole wheat roll, or you can go bunless like I did and serve them on top of a bed of lettuce.
This casserole is something that both adults and children will love! Cheese-filled tortellini and chicken are baked with spinach, marinara sauce, and a mixture of part-skim ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. I also love making this dish for potluck dinners and casual gatherings with friends because it's a one-pan make-ahead meal = effortless entertaining.
