Recipes Are Perfect
So many good ideas! Can’t wait to try a few this week.
Thank you for these delish dishes. You just made each day a pleasure!
The pictures make the recipes look delisions, but I would rather see a grid of the pics where I can just click on the one I like and not have to spend 10 minutes scrolling through TOO many pictures!
Love his list so much!!!!
Thank you! Thank you! I found your blog last week and I used it to make my family’s lunches and it was so good! I can’t wait to try these recipes too! They are all healthy, delicious and different! AND easy enough that a person like me who can’t cook can make them!
You are so welcome, Kristie!
I wish you had incorporated more vegetarian meals to help those who want to eat more plant based yet need some guidance.
Here are all the vegetarian/meatless recipes on my site – there are tons to choose from! 🙂

Love! Love! Love Damn Delicious!
Chicken burrito bowls were awesome and so beautiful to look at!
I used 2% greek yogurt and my chipotle dressing was a bit thick, but still oh so tasty! Thank you for another incredible recipe!
Thanks Kelley! So happy to hear you liked this one!
I love these, thank you, Taco bowls and Thai Chicken Buddha bowls especially!
This is Awesome! My favorite one is “Copycat Starbucks Chicken and Hummus Bistro Box”. The best thing I like about this meal plan is that its so easy to prepare. I made one of your meals and I can swear it took me no more than 15 mins to get everything ready and I was out the door to work.

Thank you Amy! We are so happy you enjoy it so much! That’s awesome 🙂
OK. So on Friday I was thinking I’d like to take 2 weeks to clean up my eating, slim down my meals & re-energize my meal planning. My eating has all gotten very haphazard since winter & I really need a re-boot. Reading over these recipes — especially the Buddha Bowls — I had the thought: this is it! Chungah has nailed it again. I’m printing these 11 recipes out, making up a master list of
ingredients, putting together 2 shopping lists (one for this week, one for next week), and will make these my main meal-of-the-day for the next 2 weeks (I’ll have some duplicates). In some cases I’ll make a full batch of meat & freeze what I don’t use that day for later. My mouth is watering already! Thanks, Chungah!
Susanne if you make a master shopping list will you please post here?
