One of the most popular questions my clients ask me is what are quick easy meals I can put together on a busy weeknight? I love turning to pantry staples as these are affordable, accessible, and healthier options than running to the drive-thru.
Beans are great to have for quick meals or add in’s to dishes that supply you with fiber and protein. Potatoes used to get a bad rap because they are ‘carbs’, but potatoes are nutritious and you can even go with sweet, purple, Japanese, or Russett. Whatever you like! Hummus is great to have on hand along with cut-up veggies for an easy taco meal. So many ways!
