Especially when it includes broccoli! If you’re a huge broccoli fan, you may want to check out this roasted broccoli salad too!

It’s always a plus if that veggie side dish can be made hours ahead!

Plus, a chilled side always compliments a warm, comfort food meal!

Yay for veggie-packed, easy salads!

Our family is in one of the busiest seasons of our lives…and that’s perfectly ok.

But with that busy season, we’ve had to be more careful about how much time we spend in the kitchen and on social media.

Those two areas can drain hours from our day!

Our family now saves more complicated dinners for the weekend and simpler, but super-yummy meals during the week.

Genius, right? :)

That’s where Michael Angelos Meals comes in.
