A favorite of busy parents, quick healthy recipes for dinner are a lifesaver when everyone's hungry and there's not a lot of time to prepare dinner. We all want to feed our children the healthiest meals possible but sometimes are worried that we don't have enough time to fix a wholesome meal. The following quick healthy recipes can help you serve delicious and nutritious meals in less than 30 minutes that everyone in your family will enjoy eating.
If you're looking for quick healthy recipes for your family's dinner repertoire, check out Eating Well, a vast resource for nutritious meals. And, with a section of Quick and Healthy Dinner Recipes and Menus, you're sure to find some entrees your family will want to try. Are your kids fans of fish sticks? If so, fix them Beer-Battered Fish Tacos with Tomato and Avocado Salsa. Enjoy fried fish without the high calories and cholesterol with this quick healthy recipe that calls for frying battered pieces of tilapia fillet, wrapping them in warm corn tortillas, and topping with a salsa made with tomatoes, avocados, red onions, and jalapenos.
Another quick healthy recipe from Eating Well, Southwestern Beef and Bean Burger Wraps appeal to fans of burgers and Tex-Mex. Combine 93%-lean ground beef and refried beans with cilantro and jalapenos, shape into patties, and broil. As the burgers are broiling, mash an avocado with salsa. Then spread a layer of guacamole on a whole-wheat tortilla, sprinkle with shredded romaine lettuce and shredded pepper Jack cheese, top with a burger, and wrap. Voila - a quick healthy recipe the whole family will enjoy.
There's not a dish kids love more than macaroni and cheese, but how healthy is the orange-tinged boxed stuff? Kitchen Daily has a quick healthy recipe adaptation of the favorite, Radiatore and Cheese. Cook the radiatore, or corkscrew macaroni, and drain. Stir in shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chopped fresh tomatoes, green onions, oregano, and garlic. Then add a mixture of milk, flour, and salt, and stir over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thick and bubbly. You now have a quick healthy recipe your kids will happily devour.
Another quick healthy recipe for pasta, Epicurious' Multi-Grain Penne with Hazelnut Pesto, Green Beans, and Parmesan is so delicious that no one will even notice he is eating green vegetables. In your food processor, make a pesto from parsley, roasted hazelnuts, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. Boil some whole-grain penne, and add the green beans at the last two minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and beans, toss with the pesto, and top with Parmesan cheese.
Chicken dinners are a mainstay for most families, and this quick healthy recipe for Tandoori Curry Chicken from Kaboose will become a family favorite. Toast curry powder, add fat-free Greek yogurt, and then top salted and peppered thinly sliced chicken breast cutlets with the curry yogurt mixture and broil. Serve with the quick healthy recipes for Cinnamon Couscous and Spinach with Currants for a nutritious Indian-themed dinner.
