Veggie-Focused T-Rex Recipes

Welcome to my T-Rex page! These protein packed breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, appetizers and more are all made to also highlight vegetables and whole foods so we can feel good about what’s on our plate.

There’s something super satisfying about planning an entire dish around a fresh from the garden bell pepper or an ultra-ripe bunch Summer tomatoes. Lately my family has been increasing our protein intake so I’ve been blogging my veggie forward recipes that also feature chicken, turkey, seafood, and more!
