It’s no secret that we all need a little help when it comes to cooking dinner. Your weekly go-to meals can get boring, and they can get boring fast. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to spruce up your nightly dinner using simple ingredients you’re bound to already have stocked in your fridge and pantry.
There are many different ways to switch up basic ingredients to make some of the most flavorful meals. Without further ado, let’s dive into our top four recommended pantry recipes you should try this week to keep your healthy diet right on track.
Our first favorite recipe comes from Lavender & Lovage with their Spinach, Lentil, and Sweet Potato Curry recipe. This dish is jam-packed with flavor and has tons of nutritional benefits. This curry makes a great lunch or dinner option because it’ll keep you feeling full long after you finish your meal even though it’s under 250 calories. The best part is it’s also easy to freeze so it can be a perfect choice when you need a quick fix in a pinch.
Another one of our go-to flavorful recipes is this Chicken Lo Mein recipe from Slender Kitchen. It’s only 366 calories per serving with 57 grams of carbs, 11 grams of fat, and 28 grams of protein. How amazing is that?! This lo mein will be sure to satisfy just about everyone’s taste buds in your family.
Now, we’ve also got the perfect recommendation for you if you’re in the mood for seafood. This Healthy Mediterrnean Tuna Salad recipe from Tori Avey is a great seafood option for you. This tuna salad can be quickly prepared in just 10 minutes, and makes a tasty meal for lunch. Tuna is great for weight loss and also has other benefits like making you feel energized.
While we all love a hearty complete meal, we all love a good snack every now and then too. Snacks don’t necessarily need to be seen as being indulgent or as temptations that stray you away from your diet. Snacks can in fact be healthy! We recommend following this variety of Baked Oatmeal recipes from Fit Foodie Finds. You can easily pack baked oatmeal with lots of fruit and even some yogurt for a whipped topping. So yummy!
