Wraps

For lunch, a turkey and hummus wrap is a simple and tasty option. Spread hummus on a wrap, add turkey, spinach, and any other veggies you like, and wrap it up. It’s portable, so you can take it to class or the library.

One-Pot Pasta

When it comes to dinner, one-pot pasta is a lifesaver. Cook pasta in a pot with broth, canned tomatoes, and veggies like broccoli or spinach. It’s quick, easy, and requires minimal clean-up.
