What's for Dinner Tonight?

What's for dinner tonight? The question we ask ourselves every day... I find myself googling that question or asking my clients during the day. I have decided I love to talk about what everyone has for dinner. I am going to blog about what I make for dinner, and I hope to hear from you about what you are having for dinner.
Thursday night is a busy night at our house and I am short on time. This is what we had last night, chicken sausages, baked beans, fresh kale salad with lemon juice dressing. A healthy meal can be quick. Thank you Trader Joe's.
I swung by Trader Joe's after seeing clients and before picking up the kids from school. I bought sweet italian chicken sausages, canned baked beans, and a bag of ready to go kale.
I preheated the oven to 375 degrees and placed the beans in a shallow dish to bake.(they get a yummy crust on them and taste homemade) Mean while I start to fry the sausages on the stove top, and assemble the salad. Toss the kale in a bowl, add thin slices of red onion , drizzle with good olive oil and the juice of two lemons, salt and pepper, Done. In less than thirty minutes dinner is ready!

Kale Chips

Homemade Kale Chips Try these @ home they are a fun finger food, that is a healthy snack for the entire family. INGREDIENTS 1 bunch of kale, washed and dried thoroughly olive oil, for drizzling sea salt, for sprinkling DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into chip size pieces. Lay on a baking sheet, make sure to not crowd, I used 2 rimmed baking sheets. Toss the kale with the olive oil and salt, I found this easier to use your hands to toss the kale to make sure each leaf was coated evenly. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. Serve as finger food. Let me know how your family likes this one!!

You could defiantly make this healthier by using brown rice and your own tomato sauce topping, for our family we make it just like Grammy does. Ingredients 1 lb. ground turkey 1 Cup instant rice 1 small head of cabbage, chopped 1 can instant cambells tomato soup 1 medium onion, chopped Directions Brown the turkey and chopped onions, adding salt and pepper to taste. Once the turkey and onions are done cooking remove from the heat and stir in the instant rice.
