The great thing about stuffed peppers is that you don’t have to cut up the peppers, which saves plenty of time in itself.

Sure, takeout is a nice treat, especially when you really don’t feel like cooking, but it’s not very healthy for you, and it’s certainly not paleo-friendly.

Believe it or not, one serving of P.F. Chang’s almond cashew chicken is 640 calories, rice not included. Comparing that to this homemade version is a more respectable 410 calories and requires little work (or money).

And it’s really tasty. You can’t beat that.

If you’re like me, you probably didn’t know how to pronounce pho until now (it’s “fuh”). Heck, you probably don’t even know what it was, so now that I know, I’ll enlighten you.

Pho is a gut healing soup that’s kind of like chicken noodle soup but with an Asian flare. It’s definitely worth a try if you need a healthy, nourishing meal that’s pretty simple to make!
