January 15, 2019 By Taesha Butler Leave a Comment

Only have 30 minutes to make dinner? I feel ya! Grab one of these easy peasy veggie-loaded meals that you can make in 30 minutes (or less!) and get dinner on the table while keeping your health and sanity intact!

Pin for later!

When people ask me why I started The Natural Nurturer, my answer is always the same:

To show people they can do it.

And by “it”, I mean this whole healthy living thing. Even if you work crazy hours. Even if you have a busy household that has you moving in all directions all hours of the day. Even if you have never cooked a meal a day in your life….you can do it. I promise.

You just need a few really great EASY recipes in your back pocket for those extra hectic days and a sense of determination.

You see, I started The Natural Nurturer after a season of hard and change when I learned that, yes, I could do it despite all the curve balls life had thrown at me.

I was a new mom and my husband, Ken, has just deployed for an 8 month tour overseas. We had moved to San Diego less than a year before, so we were still building our community and support system. And with our families over 3000 miles away, I felt pretty alone with caring for our new daughter and our home. Oh, and I was working full-time as a teacher too.

I didn’t have a lot of time. Or a lot of money (preschool teacher + military salary is not the makings of a millionaire). But I did have a sense of determination to keep myself healthy and start Alice out on real nourishing food as she grew.

So, I did it. I found healthy hacks, great recipes and tips and tricks that I still use today. And when I got through my season of hard, I kept on going and decided I wanted to show other people that they too could lead a healthy, real food life in this busy modern world. And so I started The Natural Nurturer to share all I had learned and inspire people to see that they could do it too.

And while a “can do” attitude is vital in a healthy living journey, so are some really great and easy recipes that help you serve up the good stuff (like veggies!) in a delicious way. Here are some of my favorite quick and easy favorites that the whole family loves and I pull out on our extra busy nights!
