Taking the chore out of cooking

Do you ever get home from a long day of working look in the fridge and just want to turn to the take out menu?  Trust me, we have all been there!  I still have times when it is just not in me to cook a big meal.  The beautiful thing is that cooking dinner does not have to be a big meal.  Some of the best dishes I have created have been the ones that took all the weekly leftovers and made a casserole or stir fry that was out of this world.  The other day Dr. Liz sent me a photo of a simple one skillet dish she threw together that looked so delicious!  (See photo below.)  When I have one of these moments, I have no choice but turn on loud salsa music (or whatever my kids will tolerate), and turn into the dancing chef!  My kids get a kick out of my dancing even joining in on occasion, and the music fuels me along to keep calm and carry on into a healthy dinner for our family.  What motivates you to cook?  Tell us below!

Pinto beans and kale added to squash, porta bella mushrooms and lightly marinated in Annie's Ginger Marinade with coriander and tumeric add a gentle spiciness to this simple dish!
