I should have just called this section “Comfort Foods” because almost everything seems to fit. Recipes like my homemade beef stew and meat loaf and pepperoni pizza are like a warm blanket on a cold night. There’s no question I like to cook but I still like to make things the simplest way possible and with the least amount of work. I figure if I can simplify something like my marinated pork loin recipe or my Bolognese sauce, then I’ll have more time to make dessert!

Many people seem to be short on time these days so I am always looking for simple recipes that will let you make 30-minute meals for your family. Try my orange-sesame chicken. It’s basically a stir-fry and everyone who tries it loves it. Healthy meals like my thighs & fries are really easy too and the best part is it all cooks on foil so there’s no cleanup!

So try my easy healthy dinners and make sure you eat your vegetables. And no, carrot cake does not count as a vegetable! (but my carrot cake is really good!) – Jenny Jones
