Pan-Fried Kielbasa, Macaroni & Cheese & Marinated Cauliflower, Broccoli & Corn Salad

Orange-Marinated Cashew Chicken w/ Coconut over Steamed White Rice & Stir-Fried Broccoli, Baby Corn & Bamboo Shoots

Homemade Chicago-Style Deep Dish Cheese Pizza & Mixed Greens Salad

Lamb Meatballs, Couscous w/ Toasted Walnuts & Spinach Sauted in Olive Oil w/ Garlic

Scrambled Eggs, Seafood, Bacon & Cheese Wrapped in Flour Tortillas & Fresh Fruit
