This Italian Seasoned Green Bean Low-Carb recipe is super easy. You can use bottled dressing which makes it much quicker to prepare. I prefer the Walden Farms Calorie-Free dressing, but if you are Paleo or Primal, you may choose to make your own. It pairs well with beef, chicken, fish, or lamb and reheats easily if you are bringing it to a gathering. If you don't have fresh green beans, simply thaw out a bag or two of frozen beans and use those.

And I like eggs just cooked just about any way you can think of: scrambled, deviled, fried, poached, hard-boiled ... any way but raw. Eggs are quick, they're easy, they're cheap, and they always seem like comfort food to me. Eggs for dinner are particularly good when you're crunched for time or for when the food budget for the week is shot.

But Mexican food really is high up on the list, believe me, just as long as it is spicy enough (for my son) and not too spicy (for my husband).
