My mom has made lamb chops for our family since the beginning. At the age of one, my one would power through 6 at one sitting because they are so good. In looking at ways to eat healthier and with fewer carbs, I wanted to find meals that were satisfying. In this dish, I simply broil lamb chops and add my favorite French green beans called haricot verts. By cooking them with a little garlic and lemon zest, they make the basic green bean crunchy and amazing. I served with rice and a side salad.

My mom used to make this for me when I was a kid. I love the sweetness of the chicken with the curry and honey. This is such a simple dish - only 5 ingredients. Throw it in the oven while you decompress after a long day.

We love paella in our house. I love it because it is a whole meal made in one pot. In this recipe I take the best parts of Spanish paella and give them an Italian twist using arborio rice and Italian sausage. This quick and easy recipe is made in no time and if you don’t eat shrimp, chicken is a fantastic substitute.

This recipe is finger licking good. With no carbs, it packs a punch with standout flavors in a neat package. I used the vegetables I had on hand for the lettuce cups, but you can use what you happen to have. For the steak, I used the the hanger cut which is juicy and intensely flavorful, but a flank steak would work just as well. If you wanted it to be vegetarian, you could also substitute baked tofu.

This will be the last in my series of fun lunch box ideas for kids for a while. In this week's lunch box I made spinach tortellini. The best part of making tortellini is that there is a seemingly endless array of healthy stuffed tortellini you can buy and there are endless healthy sauces you can make. In this recipe, I use my traditional tomato sauce, but I recommend checking out my site for my broccoli rabe pesto, kale pesto, and other sauces which would be great for lunch.
In this week's lunchbox is the following:
1 cup tortellini with tomato sauce, grated parmesan cheese and parsley

My son is fanatical about rice and beans. It is so nice to have a warm lunch so with that I thought it would be fun for him to have a Mexican style lunch. In this protein packed lunchbox, I add warm rice and beans to a thermos along with some tortillas and salsa. And don’t forget some treats to make it extra exciting. When I picked him up from school, he couldn’t stop talking about how much fun it was to have warm rice and beans and how he wants it in his next lunchbox.
In this week's lunchbox is the following:
1 cup mixed rice and beans with shredded cheddar on top

Most kids love chicken nuggets. I am not preferential to store bought nuggets for a multitude of reasons but I think they are great when homemade. Here is a quick and easy recipe for chicken nuggets that your kids will love. My son couldn’t stop telling everyone at school how his mom made him chicken nuggets. He was so proud and I am sure yours will be too!
Quick tip: Make 2 dozen and keep them refrigerated to use them as you need to. These keep for 4–5 days.
