The Go-To Ground Turkey Skillet
Recipes like this can be a game-changer. It's easy to spice according to your taste, and it provides a great opportunity to try different vegetables and flavors.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Cooking up sweet potatoes in nothing but their skin like you're a Boy Scout on a camping trip is fine. But mashing them allows you to customize the flavor and texture a bit more, which is crucial for sticking to a nutrition plan!
5
Steel-Cut Oats
Kind of like roasted chicken, oatmeal is something a lot of people don't enjoy because they've never learned how to prepare it properly. In my experience, gently toasting the oats in olive oil prior to making the oatmeal makes a huge difference. What you put on top, well, that's up to you!
