4 Quick and Healthy Dinner Ideas

Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese

Here is a simple meal that you can make in record time. It is a great meal you can make on nights when it is a little chilly outside, and also when your family wants some comfort food. While you can buy jarred tomato soup to make it even easier to prepare, making your tomato soup doesn’t take too long. It is something you can make in your slow cooker while at work or running errands during the day, then it’s ready to go by dinner time. You can either combine the healthy tomato soup with regular grilled cheese or make grilled cheese croutons to add to your soup.

Our favorite grilled cheese? Take a marbled rye bread, add one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of cheddar. Top with sauteed onions and some crispy bacon before you fold them together and grill. O. M. G. it is amazing!

Rotisserie Chicken

This meal has a lot of room for customizing it based on your family’s needs and preferences. The basis of the meal is picking up a rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket. This is one of the best things you can use for healthy and quick meals. You don’t have to spend time roasting a chicken yourself, but you are also not driving through KFC for an unhealthy chicken dinner.

Pick up a rotisserie chicken and combine it with any nutritious side dishes you like, whether you have it with a salad, mashed potatoes, or perhaps some coleslaw. You can also tear up the chicken into pieces for soup or salad. On chicken can actually make a few different meals, that is why we created this article: Recipes for Shredded Rotisserie Chicken.

Salmon and Veggies

While salmon might seem like something that takes a long time, it is quick and easy to make in a pan. All you need to do is add a little olive oil to the pan, season your salmon, place it on the pan for a few minutes, and then flip it over for another few minutes. You can combine your pan-seared salmon with some veggies cooked in whichever way you like and healthy dinner ideas are done! You can add the veggies to the pan or roast them while the salmon is cooking. We also like grilling salmon – this is our favorite recipe: Dr Pepper Glazed Salmon on A Cedar Plank. The best salmon prices we have found? At Aldi!

Salads

If salad sounds boring for a meal, you haven’t considered the many different ways to make a salad! Salad is the perfect meal since it is easy to prepare and can be as healthy as possible. You can customize each salad with your family in mind, thinking about what your spouse and kids would enjoy the most. There are typical chef’s salads, Greek salads, and Caesar salads, as well as salads that you make yourself merely by adding in all your favorite veggies. If it is the summer season, make a salad with strawberries and pecans with poppy seed dressing, or combine greens with cooked pasta for a pasta salad.

Here are a few salad recipes we like as healthy dinner ideas:
