7 Quick & Healthy Dinner Ideas
Sometimes it is hard to know exactly what or how to make healthy choices for your family. You get on Pinterest or start looking at recipes and you get overwhelmed, so you just throw some chicken nuggets on a pan and some carrots on the side and call it good. (That was totally me a few years ago so no judgment here!)
Over time I have discovered how to make easy, and healthier versions of my favorite foods at home. These recipes have become my go-to dinners, and I promise you will love them! Â They have the picky-eater stamp of approval from my husband, Nate and the toddler approval stamp from Layla! Most of these recipes are fairly inexpensive as well, which is always nice for the ole bank account. Try all of them for a whole week of easy, healthy eats!

What is your favorite healthy and quick dinner? Do you tweak recipes to make them healthier?Â
My favorite healthy and quick dinner is probably a stir fry. Can’t go wrong with protein and veggies .
We don’t make that often at all! I should though!! What kind of sauce do you use in it?
Like Nicole, my favorite easy to make healthy dinner is stir fry. Its especially great for when I have leftover meat to use up.
I am missing out on this! I need to find a recipe my husband actually likes–that’s the trick! 🙂
sTir fry is my go to quick and healthy dinner bc I can throw anything in there. After that probably omelets.
Both great ideas!
Pancakes make a quick and easy supper. Your Hearty Oatmeal Pancakes would be good to make. If you want to kick up the protein maybe do some turkey sausage patties to serve with them. Top t hem with fruit instead of syrup. I don’t really get too excited about pancakes for breakfast, but I really enjoy them for supper. Especially in the winter. Omelets or scrambled eggs are a great idea too, especially with veggies in them.
Mmmm! I love pancakes for dinner. Always and forever. Especially with berries and yogurt. 🙂
Usually I just make my dinners from scratch so they end up being healthy by default, since I usually only have healthy ingredients on hand. But, sometimes, if I’m craving a childhood favourite that’s less than healthy, I’ll have to find creative ways to make my dinner a little healthier.
Then there are the times that I have homemade granola for dinner (like tonight) because I just couldn’t be bothered lol. It’s all about balance right?
Haha! I love that! Cereal for dinner is completely approved. 🙂
Quick dinners here usually involve something on the grill…I live with 3 men, so we eat a lot of meat. But I try to keep it healthy.
The grill is a lifesaver! I have a couple grilling recipes in the e-cookbook!
My favorite dinner is usually a salad with a lean protein, can never go wrong with that!
Ny favorites tend to vary. I find a favorite. Eat it often. Get tired of it. New favorite 🙂 Right now it’s salads with salmon or grilled chicken.
Yummy! Great list of ideas. thanks for sharing! 🙂
Great round up, my go to easy, healthy meal is chili.
confession, i think i of dinners like day of or hours before. love having ideas on hand, so thanks for the resource!
My pleasure! This last few weeks have been rough for our dinner plans, but yesterday I sat down and planned some good options instead of just winging it like I had been doing. Such a good feeling!
If there’s one thing I always need, it’s more dinner ideas, for sure! And healthy ones are a huge plus! Thanks so much for taking the time to link up with us over at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again on Friday!
