What’s Inspiring Me This Week

It’s been an exciting week for me—with lots of changes. After two years of living in Seattle, my husband and I moved to Austin, Texas. As happens with moves, there are a lot of things that need to be done, such as forwarding our mail, canceling previous services and setting up new ones and getting to know our neighborhood. And while we enjoy eating out, there’s nothing like a home-cooked meal. Home cooking not only saves us money, but helps us feel our best throughout the week. To make sure we have the energy and time to get things done, I’m turning to high-protein dinners I can whip up in 30 minutes or less.

You’ve probably heard that protein is good for you, especially when it comes to building muscle. But protein does more than that. Protein helps strengthen our bones, supports our immune system and healthy aging and repairs our body’s tissues. Even more so, protein helps slow down our digestion to keep us satisfied for longer. This week’s quick and delicious dinners provide at least 15 grams of protein per serving, fitting ourhigh-protein nutrition parameters.
