Now is the time to slow down and enjoy the glorious springtime sunshine. You may find this hard to do with spring sports and the last crazy push before school’s out for summer. It is with pleasure I share with you a few quick ideas of how to keep dinners light and healthy. It’s what I do in my own home.
In addition, spring and summer would not be the same without sun tea. Fruit infused sun tea is especially delicious, and don’t worry I found this recipe works great even if it’s not scorching hot out, all you need is some good ol’ fashioned bright sunshine.
Keep healthy, happy, and glowing!

Creating quick and healthy meals can be easy. It simply requires that you have a few nutritious ingredients on hand ready to go in the fridge. Mix and match, serve over greens, and add your favorite healthy condiments as toppings.
Great foods to keep on hand in the fridge:
Cooked rice
Roasted sweet potato chunks (with skins!)
Lentils
Beans
Sautéed veggies, such as peppers, onions, and mushrooms
Raw nuts and seeds (they add flavor, nutrition, and great crunch)
Greens (such as spinach, kale, and romaine)
Fresh Salsa
Lemon
Avocado (in the pantry, not the fridge)
With just those few ingredients listed you can mix and match to make many different meals and snacks.
There are so many meals you can throw together in minutes by having a few basic ingredients, prepared and ready to go for the week ahead. Pick a night with less going on and cook some rice, lentils, and beans, roast a couple of sweet potatoes, sauté a few veggies and you’ll be good to go the whole week through.
Hopefully that gives you a few good ideas that won’t break the bank and will nourish your body and soul from the inside out. With a little creativity, there are no limits to what you can come up with.
With so much love,
