Easy And Healthy Recipes For The Whole Family

By Linda Moore


Not everyone has the time to cook a big dinner when they get back from work. Most people will put something quick together, but you can't be sure that this is healthy. When you are cooking for your family, you have to make sure that you are providing something that is going to provide them with all the right nutrients. This is why you need to look out for easy and healthy recipes.

If you do a little research, you will find that there are recipes which are both easy and healthy to make. Things like stir fries, one pot meals and pasta don't take a lot of time to make. Vegetables can be bought already prepared, so there is little for you to do. You can also invest in a slow cooker. In this way your meal will be ready when you get back from work.

Instead of using white sauce or cream, you can try using Greek yogurt. This can work very well when you mix it with a lot of other spices. It is a lot easier to make and it means you don't have to stand over the stove stirring the lumps out of your sauce. This will basically take a few minutes to get together, along with a nice salad.

Pastas can come in the form of linguine or spaghetti which are cooked in a tomato sauce. You can also use Greek yogurt which is low in calories. You can make a bolognaise and serve this with a salad which is more creative and easy to make. There are other pastas to make which come with vegetables, such as butternut squash and spinach as well as avocado.

There are many different types of stir fries to make, so you can be creative and experiment with various recipes. You don't always have to use chicken or beef with a couple of vegetables. You can add in a couple of chickpeas. You can add in nuts. A touch of organic peanut butter will make a lovely sauce.

Minestrone can also be easy to make because the soup doesn't have to cook away for hours and hours. The spaghetti will help thicken up the dish. The tomato that you use will also add bulk. You can use a variety of vegetables which are already prepared and this leaves you with less to do. Minestrone is always tasty.

Stir fries can be served with chicken, pork, beef or fish. You can add in all sorts of vegetables which are already prepared. You can experiment with a lot of different vegetables which may be more exotic. Not many people use something like bok choi, for example. Adding texture like walnuts and cashews can also make a big difference to the meal.

It is also easy to serve a stir fry with noodles. For this, all you need is a little boiling water. It is not like making pasta where you have to test it. It only takes two minutes, and you simply have to mix this in with the rest of your ingredients. It can be a good idea to make a big batch of sauce so you have some left over for the next time you make a meal like this.
