Keeping it Simple

Cooking a good dinner can be tough after a long day at work for anyone, let alone for a mom of three.  I usually resort to something quick like leftovers.  But what do you do if you at the last of it yesterday and it's 5:30? Sometimes I like to have breakfast for dinner: omelets, bacon and/or sausages. In the past I've been tempted to warm up chicken nuggets, have a bowl of cereal, eat some chips and chicken or make a quick peanut butter or grilled cheese sandwich.

However, tonight, I knew I had to at least try to get a healthful meal together. 

Pork Chop and Butternut Squash Stew

Here is a modified version of Sarah Fragoso's recipe from Everyday Paleo.  I didn't have all the ingredients, so here's what I did. (And don't mind the old school slow cooker! It was my mom's but never got used until I became a grown up and started cooking for myself!)

Salmon for Lunch

1 salmon filet (pan fry in 1 Tbsp butter, w/mix seasoning, pepper)
2 cups of baby spinach
7 cherry tomatoes
