Smoked Sausage with Spaghetti Squash
Microwaving the spaghetti squash ensures hands-off steaming while you cook the rest of tonight's dinner in a single skillet. If your microwave-safe dish can only hold one squash half at a time, steam it in two batches.
Zucchini Yogurt Multigrain Muffins
I tried finding a recipe for my picky toddler to eat her vegetables. Since I couldn't find one, I came up with this recipe for zucchini yogurt multigrain muffins. One cup of carrots and one cup of zucchini is a nice way to get yellow and green veggies into the diet! You can use any nuts, raisins, etc., in the recipe — whatever you have on hand and is toddler-approved.
Pesto Tortellini Salad
A wonderful pesto tortellini salad with crunchy veggies and basil pesto sauce. This recipe is so different from the classic Italian pasta salads. Works as a main dish or a very hearty side dish for lunch.
