This week marks the shortest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere. So I thought we could brighten things up a little bit and focus on limes in our dinner recipes!
And they’re more than just a mood booster. Research shows that limes are rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports immune health and helps your body absorb iron from food. Their natural plant compounds, like flavonoids, have also been studied for potential anti-inflammatory and heart-protective effects.

This Week’s Lineup!
If you have an hour or two on the weekend to take some time to prep parts of your meals, then you can get dinner on the table so much faster during the week! Here are some meal prep ideas:
1. Chop your veggies
Chop your veggies and then place each meal’s worth of veggies in a ziploc bag.
Easy One Pan Pad Thai: Slice the onions and shred the carrot.
Creamy Kale and Italian Sausage Soup: Chop the onion, celery, and kale. Shred the carrot.
Thai Peanut Chicken: Dice the onions and grate the carrots. (If you have time, prep all 4 freezer meals in advance, and then just slip them into the slow cooker or Instant Pot the day you plan to eat this meal.)
3. Prepare your protein
Slice the chicken or pork (if not using shrimp) and press and dice the tofu. Slice the Italian sausage. Cook the black beans (unless you are using beans from a can). Place the meat and the tofu in sealable containers in the fridge.
Happy meal prepping!
