Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is a comfort food classic, but it’s not always the healthiest meal. This better-for-you version is easy and satisfying.
If you want a protein-heavy dish that will make sure you leave satisfied, look no further than chili. Our take on the classic dish adds quinoa to give it a unique texture.
When you think of creamy dishes, you probably immediately think of dishes filled with calories. Not so with this salad, which uses Greek yogurt as a flavorful thickener. This is guaranteed to be unlike any other taco salad you’ve ever had.
Sesame chicken is a go-to when it comes to adding some real flavor to a regular chicken recipe. Level that up even more by throwing this bad boy in the slow-cooker for even more enjoyment.
