This is the kind of dinner I love having in my back pocket for busy weeks: one pan, plenty of protein, lots of colorful vegetables, and very little fuss.

Sometimes you want a drink that feels a little special without being complicated—or loaded with added sugar. This Apple Cider Fizz is one of those wonderfully simple recipes.

Some recipes earn a permanent place in the family rotation, and this is one of those recipes. My handwritten note on the original says it all: “Family liked.” That’s always worth remembering!
