Healthy, clean meals do not have to be boring! Being the health nut that I am, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and making up my own concoctions as I go. I love opening up the refrigerator finding miscellaneous ingredients to whip up a new delicious dish that works with all proteins (meat, chicken, fish). Tonight's Dinner consisted of Baked Chicken with Quinoa Veggie Salad. This dish can be served cold making it great leftovers for the kids school day lunch or brown bag lunch at the office. :-)
