Healthy, Quick Dinner #1

Stuck in a rut at dinner time? Looking for some variety to your mealtime routine?  We tend to eat the same couple of things for dinner-pizza, baked salmon, or chicken with rice & veggies.  We have tons of cookbooks, but I wanted something that I knew wasn’t going to take a lot of prep time.

So, here is the first of three, super easy to prep and quick-cooking meals to fuel your next dinner.
