I recently heard a four year old say “why is winter still here?” My thoughts exactly! I know I am ready for winter to phase out when I start getting tired of the winter soups and stews! A couple of the recipes in this week’s meal ideas have a “ready for spring” feel to them! When I tell you that one is a fantastic Orange and Olive Salad, I know you will be thinking “oranges and olives together, you have got to be kidding!” I encourage you to give it a try – it is really good! The other is the Thai Mango Apple Salad – it is light, refreshing, and delicious! Plus, for your busy weeknights, the quick and easy meal ideas this week are wonderful — try the Chorizo Sweet Potato Tostadas or the Spicy Orange Chicken or both! The leftover sweet potato mixture from the tostadas makes a great quick & easy breakfast when topped with an egg! You probably don’t think “healthy” when you think of Philly Cheesesteaks or onion rings, but we have included versions of these that are good for you…and taste great! Check out the Portobello Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich and Baked Onion Rings — see how easy it is to make crispy, delicious onion rings at home!
