30 Minutes or Less...except on the weekend

*I attached a link with a recipe similar to what I use for each meal...however I have NOT tested all of these.  My shopping list matches my recipes so you may want to double check that you have what you need before heading to the store.  If you have been following my blog you may have several of these ingredients already.  Remember to make these recipes on the healthier side use lean meat and buy the low fat/low sodium options of the ingredients.  Happy Eating!
