Juicy chicken breasts marinated in lemon balsamic dressing topped with melty mozzarella cheese and fresh tomato bruschetta is sure to become one of your family favorites! It makes an easy weeknight meal that everyone will love!

Stuffed Cabbage
Stuffed Cabbage is an irresistibly delicious recipe everyone will adore! Packed full of juicy ground meats and homemade tomato sauce, its vibrant cabbage leaves provide the perfect container to encase this juicy and succulent filling.
Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a large baking dish before setting it aside.
Blanch the cabbage: Bring a pot of water to boil, place an entire head of cabbage (without its thick core) into it, and blanch for just one or two minutes, until its leaves begin to soften and become easier to remove from the head of cabbage.
Fill the shell: Combine ground meats, rice, bread crumbs, onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl before stirring in one cup of marinara sauce and mixing thoroughly.
For this cabbage dish, use a paring knife to carefully remove each leaf’s hard triangular ribs before laying them flat on a tabletop. Place a few spoonfuls of filling onto each leaf before rolling up like you would for burritos – seam side down in your prepared pan – with remaining sauce covering top. Bake until cooked through!
Air Fryer Steak Bites
Making a delicious low-carb steak dinner couldn’t be simpler with this air fryer recipe. Perfect for any keto diet plan!
Air Fryer meals are both fast and simple – ideal for busy families! Make a batch ahead of time, store in the freezer, then simply reheat when ready.
For this recipe, sirloin steak is recommended; however, other cuts of meat may work just as well if chosen carefully. Be sure to choose an excellent-quality cut that features thick cuts with generous marbling for optimal flavor!
While your steak is in the air fryer, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan on medium heat and add 2 cloves of minced garlic until fragrant. Use this garlic butter as a marinade for air fryer steak bites before topping with fresh parsley before serving.

Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower makes an excellent alternative to rice and can be used in many of the same recipes. Packed full of choline which may support brain health, cauliflower has less carbs than its rice counterpart and makes a delicious base for stir fries, bean and rice dishes or can even be transformed into tasty Asian-style cauliflower rice dishes!
Cauliflower rice can be easily made by using a food processor to chop florets into grain-sized bits. Once done, it can either be consumed immediately or stored away for later use in either your fridge or freezer – saving both time and effort when making other meals.
