There’s just something about eating food from a stick, isn’t there? Plenty of chain restaurants such as Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill, and Red Lobster have adopted kebabs on their menus, often replacing heavy carbs and fatty sauces with lean protein and vegetables. These red curry pork kebabs have plenty of both, which are coated in a Thai coconut milk curry sauce that you’ll find yourself dipping everything in. Adding in some pineapple chunks will elevate the flavors in the pork, too.

 

12. BBQ Pork Shepherd’s Pie With Sweet Potato Topping

Now, this is a shepherd’s pie unlike any other you’ve had before! This healthy recipe uses a barbecue sauce, along with unsweetened plain almond milk, which cuts down on extra calories, but still gives the dish a tangy, creamy, texture. We also swap out regular potatoes—which are usually used in a traditional shepherd’s pie—and use sweet potatoes instead. Plus, the extra kale sneaks in even more nutrients into the meal.
