Easy Healthy Dinners
Preparing meals at home are more favorable to people as they have total control of the amount of fats and calories that go in each and every dish. This makes the entire restaurant dining experience different.
In restaurants, a little wrist action with the butter, extra cheese, and oil can push excess calories without you knowing it. Whereas in cooking your own meals, pushing fats and calories over the edge could be eliminated to make way for easy healthy dinners.
Ever heard of lemongrass ginger whitefish and sizzling fajitas meal? This is one of those easy healthy dinners that could help you save loads of calories without dieting. This low-fat belly shaper is easy to cook and prepare without sacrificing a real great flavor.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon lemongrass, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ginger and garlic, diced and minced
½ jalapeño pepper
16 oz whitefish fillet
Directions:
1. In a food processor, reduce to pulp lemongrass, a teaspoon of garlic, jalapeño pepper, and lemon juice. Keep in mind; lemongrass has tough, fibrous leaves so you have to peel them off and use only the lower stalks containing the most flavors.
2. After mixing the primary ingredients together in a food processor, rub and marinate whitefish fillet for 5-6 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat a pan on high. Place the marinated whitefish fillet on pan and let it sear for 2-3 minutes. Flip the fillet fish and reduce to medium heat. Cook for another 2 minutes and serve hot.
Another easy healthy dish that you can reinvent is the sizzling fajitas. This is a kind of Mexican cuisine filled with full-fat dairy. But, you can always make your own healthy fajitas without worrying of the mucho flab. Here are the ingredients and ways to prepare it:
