In my family we don’t have a structured meal plan but we definitely tend to fall back on our simple favorites for busy nights. I love it when we find a new quick and easy meal that can be added to our weeknight meal rotation. This spicy peanut sauce makes the cut!

Gyro is a sandwich consisting of meat roasted on a vertical spit which is then shaved off in thin slices and wrapped in pita bread, topped with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. My gyro-inspired wraps are technically not gyros because the meat is not cooked in the traditional way. However, in my opinion, they taste pretty darn close to an actual gyro. And they are healthier to boot!

Dress up your everyday quesadillas (or sandwiches) by cutting them into Easter egg shapes and letting your kids decorate them. My son has just as much fun decorating healthy food as he does cupcakes and sugar cookies. And it’s just one more way to make healthier fare fun and festive.
