Easy Dinner Recipes



This was a really easy dinner to throw together! I even made mine earlier in the day, stuck it in the fridge and when we got home later that evening it was ready to go in the oven for a quick 30 minutes.

This is a great healthy dinner; meatballs without all the carbs to go with them. We ate ours with a Greek Salad on the side. I improvised a bit with this recipe for the meatballs using what I had on hand and they came out great. Don't forget to make some taziki for on top!

This is a really easy dinner to throw together quickly. I made mine with whole wheat bow-tie pasta and used freeze dried basil instead of fresh.

I love salads for dinner, especially in the summer because it means I don't have to heat up my kitchen. For the chicken in the salad I bought a rotisserie chicken and in place of sour cream in the salad dressing I used Greek Yogurt.

I love finding new recipes on Pinterest, however I pin way more then I am able to keep up with making! These are a few recipes that I have actually made, tried, and loved! Hope you enjoy them as well! You can follow my Recipe Board HERE.

Sauteed Spinach and Tilapia with Chive Oil

We eat this dinner a lot, at least once a week. I love it because it is easy, healthy, and most important... it tastes really good! I buy tilapia fillets, baby spinach, and avocado at Costco; so we always seem to have all the ingredients on hand and it also saves money to buy them in bulk.You can put this dinner together in 20 minutes, or maybe less if you don't have 2 kiddos distracting you. ;) Super easy and super good!

Ingredients:
  • 2 tilapia fillets
  • 4 to 5 cups of raw baby spinach
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons for sauteing
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Now in a small bowl stir together 1/4 cup of olive oil, chives, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat a large saute pan to medium to medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot add the tilapia fillets. Cook about 3 minutes then flip the tilapia to the other side. After about 1 minute add the raw spinach to the pan and toss until it becomes wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the tilapia on top of the cooked spinach. Add the sliced avocado on top of the fish, and drizzle with the chive oil.
