How to Cook Healthy and Delicious Meals at Home: A Simple Dinner Recipe.
Cooking healthy dishes at home can be easy if you know the right recipes. This blog post will teach you how to cook a simple dinner that is nutritious, delicious, and perfect for your family.
The first step is to prep all of your ingredients. It's best to use fresh vegetables and fruits rather than canned or frozen ones. Cut them up into small pieces so they're easier to eat and digest. Next, take out the meat you'll need for the recipe. Make sure to cut it up evenly before cooking it because this will make it easier for everyone to share out their portions. Once you've finished preparing these ingredients, you are ready to cook! See below for the full recipe.
Preparing the Ingredients
Before you cook, make sure to prepare the vegetables and meat.
Vegetables:
- Take out all of your ingredients and cut them up into smaller pieces. It's best to use fresh vegetables and fruits rather than canned or frozen ones.
- Cut up carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers...whatever kind you have in your fridge.
- You can also add any seasoning if needed for flavor!
Meat:
- When cutting the meat into smaller pieces before cooking it will help it to cook more evenly and will also make it easier for everyone to share their portions.
Cooking the Meat
For this recipe, you will need to cook the ground beef.
Start by heating some olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef once the oil is hot and stir it with a spatula until it browns. Put the meat into a separate bowl and set aside.
Next, you'll need to start cooking your vegetables. Add more olive oil to the pan and then sautee them for about 10 minutes or until they become soft and fragrant. You can add salt and pepper to taste if you like.
Cooking Vegetables
You may think that you need to cook vegetables for a long time in order to make them taste good, but this is not the case. Vegetables should be cooked for only 5-7 minutes and they will be delicious. You can also make them healthier by choosing more nutritious veggies like broccoli and spinach, rather than potatoes and corn.
Finishing up the Dish
If you're looking for a healthy dinner to make for the family, this recipe is perfect. The ingredients are affordable and easy to find at your local grocery store. And it's one of the tastiest dishes you could ever have! Check out the full recipe below!
Add in Your Sauce
The next step is to add in your sauce. You can either use a store-bought sauce or make one from scratch. If you're going to use a store-bought sauce, read the labels carefully to make sure there are no added sugars. If you want to make your own sauce from scratch, you'll need to add in flour and oil into a pot and then add in some tomatoes and spices. After that, add in stock and let it cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
Add in Your Fruits or Vegetables
The next step is to add in your vegetables or fruit. You can also cut up fruits or vegetables that you've already cooked, like baked sweet potatoes.
For the recipe below, we'll be adding in three cups of roasted butternut squash. This will give you enough nutrients and fiber to keep your stomach happy! Add this to your skillet with the ground turkey and cook together. You can also add in two cups of chopped spinach if you want more vegetables.
When it's time to eat, just spoon some of the meat mixture onto a plate and top it with some of the roasted butternut squash or spinach. It doesn't get any easier than this!
Finish with a Garnish.
A healthy meal doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be delicious, simple, and nutritious. Follow these steps to make your family a wholesome dinner.
