September 14, 2020 by Alisha Stacy

 

I don’t know about you, but ever since the quarantine started I feel like I have used up all of the recipes I had in my arsenal. When it’s time to make a grocery list, I just draw a blank and have no idea what to even make.

And since I don’t want to eat the same four meals every single week, I’m always looking for new ones to try. My only two requirements when looking at new recipes are is it easy to make and is it on the healthier side (since quarantine has included a lot of indulging).

If you feel like you are in the same boat as well then you are in luck, because we are sharing four easy and healthy dinner ideas that are so yummy! So make a list, head to the grocery store, and enjoy having this week’s meals planned for you!
