Who struggles with coming up with dinner ideas?  Oh my gosh, I am one of those people that hates coming up with dinner.  I have found my favorite healthy dinners, that are quick and easy plus my family loves it.  I am a working mom and the last thing I want to do is cook dinner, but I really do enjoy cooking healthy dinners that my family will enjoy and I know exactly what is going into them.

Over the past 2 years I have been experimenting with eating clean, whole foods and truly enjoy to cook now.  I am all about healthy dinners, that are quick and easy.  I am excited to share a few of my families favorite healthy dinner ideas and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Lemon Pepper Tilapia, wild rice, and green beans: I buy my tilapia loins at Costco usually 1-2 bags to keep in the freezer, it is one of the quickest healthy dinners I can make and everyone enjoys it.

Season tilapia with lemon pepper and drizzle some olive oil and fresh lemon juice on it, I will broil it for 15-20 minutes on high until it is crispier on the outside. I buy plain wild rice at a local grocery store, and usually add my own seasonings to it.  The green beans are usually fresh from our garden or bottled from our garden, they are so good, I can’t live without them.

What you will need:

• Tilapia Loins
• Fresh or canned green beans
• Wild Long Grain Rice
• Lemon Pepper
• Fresh Lemons

My second choice that is quick easy and a healthy dinner is chicken or steak fajitas.  Fresh grilled peppers and onions are one of my favorite things to eat.  I love fajitas, they are simple, and healthy.  I love using the uncooked tortilla land tortillas, they are have way less ingredients than some of the other brands, that makes them better for you. I make my own seasoning which consists of chile powder, coriander, ground cumin, onion and garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and sea salt.  I slice my chicken or steak into 1 inch slices, toss in olive oil, seasoning and cook on high in a frying pan. The veggies cook quick, I slice the peppers and onions and add them in a pan cook on high in tad of olive oil.  Our favorites sides to go with the is some lettuce or spinach, fresh avocado and some hot sauce I can’t for get that. My family loves them, and its healthy. The best is when all of the veggies come from my garden.

What you will need:

• 3-4 Chicken Breast depending on the size of your family
• Uncooked Tortilla Land tortillas or any type is fine
• Red or green bell peppers or both
• Purple or yellow onion
• Fajita seasoning
• Avocado
• Lettuce or spinach
• Hot sauce or salsa

My third and final choice is Chicken Stir Fry, I can’t say it is one of my favorites because I have too many favorite healthy dinners but it is at the top of the list. I don’t ever do anything fancy, and you can use any type of vegetable for you stir fry that you would like. I love to use asparagus, carrots, onion, red bell pepper, I will usually just season my chicken with some organic no-salt seasoning, and I’ll slice it into 1 inch chunks and cook on high add the veggies before the chicken is done so they both get a yummy flavor. While doing that prepare the brown rice, it can take up to an hour to cook. You can add some low-sodium soy sauce or make a yummy dressing to go on top.

What you will need:

• Chicken Breast 3-4
• Fresh vegetables ( broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, carrots, onions, peas, sweet bell peppers)
• Brown Rice
• Olive oil
• Salt and Pepper
• Low-sodium soy sauce

These are my top 3 healthy dinners, they are quick, easy, and my family loves them so that makes it easy for this busy mom.  I don’t do anything fancy just quick and simple.  I hope you try them out and I would love some feedback when you do.
