Updated on: March 12, 2024

Whatever your dinner roadblock is—long days at work, frantic errand-running, dropping the kids off at soccer—Virginia-based dietitian Carlene Thomas understands. Here, she shares three nutritious recipes that are achievable, even when life feels crazy busy.
Butternut BBQ Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Slaw
Skip the store-bought BBQ sauce and make this instead. You won’t miss the sugar—the butternut squash is naturally sweet. A tip: Try adding some sriracha to the BBQ for a kick.
Cast-Iron Veggie Cake with Sun-Dried Tomato Cashew Cream
This is a great way to get your veggies in for the day. Almost any combination of veggies will work, but this potato, kohlrabi, and carrot version is pretty delicious.
French Lentils and Soft Eggs with Dukkah and Arugula
This is one of those brilliant eggs-for-dinner dishes. The eggs add a heft and creaminess to the lentils, and the arugula balances it all out. The spelt flatbreads aren’t required, but they make a nice addition to the meal.
