I'm constantly trying to find quick, easy meals that are still healthy for both Rylee and myself to eat. I saw on the Food Network's website a section all about helthy, quick meals. BINGO! I headed over right away and checked out a lot of their recipes. Here's one that looks perfect for lunches at home. Perfect size for Rylee it's easy to switch 'em up for a variety of tastes. Here's two different versions, but the possibilities are endless!
