Poached Eggs over Bulgur and Broccoli Rabe

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture, but this meal is still worth remembering! This marked only my second foray into the use of bulgur, but it definitely won't be my last. This whole grain is not only delicious, and even somewhat "meaty" in a way, for those omnivores reluctantly having a vegetarian dinner, but also packs in fiber, protein, and iron along with several other key nutrients. You can enjoy it guilt-free, though of course, as with all carbs, moderation is still key.

Here, the bulgur bulks up a delicious stew-like meal that is topped with broccoli rabe, onions, and poached eggs. This dinner in one will leave you feeling satisfied and content without being overly stuffed nor guilt-ridden at your binge. Always a fan of breakfast for dinner, this savory meal even had my husband raving... a husband who is generally not a fan of mixing his meals and used to see eggs at dinner as anathema. No longer - he's already asking for this meal again! Let me know what you guys think in the comments.

Coconut Curry Salmon and Apple-Cheddar Kale Salad

Very few dinners in life are more satisfying than those involving curry sauce - and this one hits a home run. The rich coconut curry sauce pairs perfectly with thick salmon. You'll be licking the plate clean when no one's looking.

The richness of the curry is perfectly contrasted by a fresh kale salad. The coconut milk will warm you up while the crisp apples and kale leaves will lighten the meal overall and leave you craving more. Make this dinner to impress without sacrificing any health at all!
