Healthy Vegetable Skillet Dinner gives you a quick, one pan meal for busy nights or meatless meals. Cabbage, squash, onions and spinach sautéed in a light garlic basil sauce.

School is in back in session. I work at a college, so that means my summer vacation is over too! A new semester brings new faces and new appetites to the campus. I’m excited to get back into swing of things. New menu ideas with seasonally based foods like cabbage, winter squash and apples start filling the charts.
We’re always on the lookout for more vegetarian meal plans. Typically we have about a 20 percent vegetarian population on campus. On top of that, many students choose a vegetable based meal at least once per week.
I’m the same way at home. I try to make at least one meatless meal per week. Often these meals wind up being skillet dinners.
This week Sunday Supper is focusing on easy, skillet meals for busy back to school schedules. Healthy Vegetable Skillet Dinner let me play around with creating a meatless dinner that’s ready in under 30 minutes.
You can add cooked pasta or rice if you like. We like it straight up with just veggies!
