Its mostly made ahead, so it takes just 10 minutes to finish during the dinnertime rush.
Dinner is always a frantic time in my house.
That is why I gravitate towardhealthy make-ahead dinner recipes.

I love putting together a homey casserole, a simple veggie-loaded pasta or a hearty stew.
One of my go-to meals for our family is thisRoasted Root Veggies & Greens over Spiced Lentils.
The result is wonderfully flavorful and tender roasted veggies I can use throughout the week.
Then come the beluga lentils, my absolute favorite key in of lentil.
But as a professional cook and recipe developer, my affinity for beluga lentils is all about their texture.
The best part of beluga lentils is that they hold their shape when cooked.
They are firm and plump with a mild earthy flavor.
I love beluga lentils cold over a crisp green salad or spooned onto a hearty grain bowl.
The kids like their food separated, so I keep the components separate for them.
Dinner is served, and it’s a healthy, high-protein and high-fiber meal my whole family will enjoy.
