Chicken & Edamame with Orange-Ginger Dressing

July 8, 2012 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Good morrrrninnnngg!! Are the sounds of firecrackers popping still in your head? Or is that the throbbing of your head, resulting from an epic 4th of July weekend barbecue? Either way, I hope you all had a fabulous Saturday full of good food, good friends, and great drinks!! That is the most important part of a summer holiday, didn’t you know?
And, since your body is very likely unhappy with all of the food and libations you forced upon it, today is as good a day as any to give it a little break. The moment that I saw this dish on Lindsay’s blog, I knew was going to be delicious. But, on top of being delicious, it is free of any processed ingredients, and just a little bit was enough to fill me up. And when I say a little bit, I mean maybe one cup…that is a miracle! And what a good feeling, knowing that something so healthy, is also filling, and delicious!! I had it for lunch the next day, too, and it kept me full until dinner!
So, if you need to kick the hangover, or give your body some food TLC…get in the kitchen and make this today!!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
