Dinner does not have to be elaborate or the biggest meal of the day. Dinner should be healthy, enjoyable and fun for the cook and those eating the meal. Dinner is also more enjoyable if it is not the same menu week by week or day after day. Of course, leftovers should be eaten to save resources and money, but in general, eating the same thing every day is unhealthy. Enjoy delicious dinners that will suit students, young adults and those who do not like to spend a lot of time and energy cooking.
Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese
Perfect for a cold, rainy day, tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich is excellent comfort food. Grilled cheese can be made healthier with low-fat cheese and vegetables. Since cheese is available in many varieties, it should suit anyone's taste. A typical grilled cheese is made with American cheese.
Tomato soup (or another soup) complements the grilled cheese and provides antioxidants. This meal is easy to make because tomato soup just needs to warm in a saucepan, and grilled cheese can be made quickly on a frying pan.
Fajitas
Fajitas can be made easily and the ingredients changed to suit everyone's taste. A simple fajita needs these ingredients: tortillas, meat (steak or chicken), peppers, onions, tomatoes, other vegetables, sour cream and cheese, if desired. The easiest way to cook this is to saute thinly sliced meat and then add the vegetables.
Thanksgiving Wraps
For those short on time, Thanksgiving wraps are perfect. The ingredients are turkey (deli sliced is perfect), stuffing (instantly cooked on the stove) and cranberry sauce (from a can). Combine the ingredients in the wrap.
Rice & Vegetable Bowl
Rice and vegetables make a quick and easy dinner. Rice can be cooked on the stove in less than 30 minutes and requires little attention. Rice such as Rice-A-Roni has directions that involve browning and sautéing the rice, but it comes out just as good by adding all the ingredients and water in a saucepan, letting it boiling and then simmering until the rice is cooked. Steamed vegetables in the microwave or frozen vegetables are easy and provide important nutrients.
Grilled Veggie Wraps
This works perfectly for camping or a summer backyard dinner. Cut vegetables into small pieces and put them in a tinfoil pouch that won't rip or spill on the grill. Add vinaigrette and shake the vegetables. Cook the vegetables on the barbecue. When they are finished, spoon them into a tortilla wrap (or a pita). Add lettuce and croutons.
