Welcome to our 5-day challenge to help anyone wanting to create fresh and flavorful meals quickly and easily! ’m a Personal Chef & busy mom who understands the challenges that on-the-go parents & professionals face when it comes to preparing healthy meals. I know that it can be overwhelming to come up with fresh, flavorful meal ideas that you will love, especially when you’re time-crunched. That’s why I’ve designed this challenge to be simple and straightforward, so you can get delicious & nutritious meals on the table quickly and easily.

Today, we’re starting off by building a foundation of simple, nutritious meals that you can turn to time and time again.
The key to sustained success is developing a repertoire – identifying several recipes you can rinse and repeat for reliable, healthy meals you will love. Here are three flavorful and nourishing meal options with corresponding videos to guide you through each one. Each of these meals can easily be customized to your preferences for protein, vegetable, & seasoning.
