Tips In Creating Healthy 30 Minute Meals

By Bernadette Martin


When you have guests arriving in less than an hour, you might get panicky thinking about what to serve them. You need a meal that will not lose in taste to other people's cooking. Moreover, you do not want to make just any sort of dish. You need one which can also be helpful in enhancing your guests' health.

When you need to prepare a dish quickly, then you have to bring out your knowledge for the kitchen. There should be some recipes in you head you can use to make healthy 30 minute meals. You can even concoct them on your own. Here are best examples of what dish you can create in an hour for your arriving guests.

You can have burgers served to the guests. The burger is not just any kind of burger. It is a veggie bean burger. This means that the dish you will serve to the guests is fit for vegetarians. The burger can be garnished with shredded carrots at the side, squeezing a bit of lemon on it. The dish becomes more savory that way.

You can make stir fry dishes as well. It should not be that time-consuming for you to make the stir fry dishes so go ahead with a recipe for this. A good recommendation would be chicken stir fry. This Asian recipe will cook faster if you use instant brown rice. The brown rice is also relatively healthier than the white rice.

You may also have a salad recipe that can help you with the said short-notice-visit. There should be a lot of salad recipe you may fix in less than half an hour. For the salad recipe, you may take inspiration from the California rolls. Instead of fixing a sushi dish, you can inspire yourself with that to make a salad recipe.

Chicken wraps can also be a good dish you can serve to your guests. If not a wrap, then pita pockets should do. In making the chicken you will use as a filling for the chicken wraps or pita pockets, it would be great if you can season them with chili powder. You can add ground cumin and bell peppers to it too.

If your guests love chicken Parmesan, then you might want to cook up a lightened version of it. There is definitely a recipe close to that which you can make in less than an hour. You can use herb-grilled chicken cutlets as the main ingredient. Put tomato halves topped with mozzarella on the side and garnish it with lemon-kissed basil.

If you have corn, then you have the perfect ingredient for a salsa. The corn can be turned into a vibrant-flavored salsa which you can put at the side when you want to serve steak. For the steak, pick the quick-cooking one. You can then spice it up with chipotle.

For situations when you only have salmon, you should be able to make a salmon-based dish. For that, you just need to prepare lemon, lime, and basil-infused olive oil. The said ingredients are the ones which can make the salmon dish tastier. You will surely be proud of serving this recipe to guests.
