15 Minute Healthy Dinners: You Don't Need Take Out Any Longer!

By Lonnie Knop


When it comes to making a healthy dinner, this is something that many individuals may struggle with. By the end of the day you may be tired, and the last thing on your mind is spending an hour or more preparing and cooking in order to make a healthy menu that your family will enjoy. Your first instinct may be to head to the nearest drive through or reach for the phone to order take out, but this is not typically a good choice to make.

The internet is full of 15 minute meal ideas that are fast and easy and eliminate the need for fast food while providing a delicious and healthy option. Many of these recipes used boneless skinless chicken breast. When this meat is cut into bite sized pieces or pounded thin, it can be fully cooked within 10 minutes. This can be the base for a dish that your family will rave about, and that you will be grateful for.

Another option you have is boneless pork chops (great for its high protein content) which can be cooked in a similarly simple manner. In their preparation, you should cut them into thin slices and then soak them in marinade. Throw in a little bit of olive oil and cook them for less than ten minutes and they should be done. You could add some rice or perhaps even a salad that can be prepared within a couple of short minutes and you'll have a nice and healthy meal ready for dinner.

Marinated steak is yet another choice that can be prepared within 15 minutes. You can start the marinade that morning before work or even the night before. Next, prepare some salad with a combination of baby lettuce, dried cherries, and walnuts for an excellent mixture of flavor and crunchiness. Finally, slice the cooked steak and place it on top of your salad and add a sprinkle of cheese (parmesan or bleu will be ideal).

With these recipes, you can easily get a healthy yet delicious dinner prepared within a very short amount of time. Sure, you can order take out, but it might take even longer for your food to arrive and you will be certain to miss out on the nutritional benefits that a home-cooked meal can give you. All it takes is 15 minutes of your time.
