Hi,
I am trying to begin eating healthier. My husband and I don't eat awful but I would like to substitute 2-3 meals a week with a healthy meal. I am trying to start but have a hard time knowing where to start. I have one style of cooking and find it difficult to know how to change easily. I'm not into organic crazy swaps but just wanting some very simple and delicious penny pinching recipes that I can add to my collection. Please tell me your favorites.
Thanks

If you have a crockpot this is great served over brown rice. Or add beans and make it a chicken chili

Ground chicken. One pound makes about 5 burgers. You can add any seasoning to it or veggies (I like mushrooms and onions saute). They heat up well and you don't need a bun!0
