Add a fresh ingredient to transform your quick meal!

When working 40+ hour weeks, sometimes we can’t help but resort to quick/pre-prepped meals…

TIP: If you are having one of those weeks, one way of making easy meals taste better than pre-packaged “blah” is throwing in some fresh ingredients to give it some flare!

Made boxed mac-and-cheese, but ripped up some pastrami and mixed it in - it was delicious! Get creative, and you’ll find that those extra minutes spent will be well worth it.

Truth.

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.

Fall Root Vegetable Hash

I have never cooked radishes before, but I figured radishes would taste really well with other root vegetables in a vegetable hash. I cut up the red radishes, carrots, and turnip, then simmered them in a chicken broth for the veggies to become tender. While the chicken broth was reducing, I added some coriander and rosemary to give it a fall flavor. Towards the end, I added some orzo - make sure to stir once in a while and ensure you have enough broth for the orzo to become al dente. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I was surprised how easy and tasty the radishes were!
