Read More5 Ingredient Tortellini & Vodka Sauce
It doesn’t get much more simple for dinner than this 5 Ingredient Tortellini & Vodka Sauce. That’s right, it’s just 5 ingredients and a few minutes of cooking until this meal in a bowl is ready to go for the family. You can easily swap some of the ingredients out to make this dinner into your own thing. Even changing the sauce would make the dish completely different from what I have here.
I went with a fully cooked chicken sausage that had Italian herbs and seasoning in it, but really you could go any which way with it as you wanted. Another good one would be a a sausage with feta cheese for a Greek twist or something with a spicy kick and a nod to something more Cajun…

If you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner that has a kick of spice in it, look no further. This Thai Curry Coconut Soup is gluten free, meatless, vegetarian, and even vegan if you use a vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. One of the best parts is though that it’s all made in one pot and in less than 30 minutes too. It’s rich and full of flavor while also being completely guilt-free.
I found this soup to be perfectly filling without making me feel overly stuffed and it’s light enough and yet hearty enough to be enjoyed at any time of year, spring, summer, winter or fall. You can change up the veggies in it too. I went with peas because I had some that I needed to use up, but edamame, zucchini, anything really would work here…
Read MoreDill Pickle Pasta Salad
So… just hear me out. Pickle flavored stuff has kind of become the trendy thing these days and let me just say, I don’t mind it at all. I love me a good pickle. Dill pickle that is. None of that sweet bread and butter nonsense. This Dill Pickle Pasta Salad is pretty amazing. It’s light, tangy, and super easy to make too.
I know it might sound a little weird at first, but I promise it’s one of the best pasta salads I’ve ever had. And I’m southern so I’ve had a lot of different kinds of pasta salad. I lightened this pasta salad up and made it a bit better-for-you but first subbing in a whole wheat pasta. I also kicked the sour cream out and used a plain fat-free greek yogurt instead. And obviously a light mayonnaise was the way to go…
