One common problem that every busy person has is trying to cook dinner quickly. When you are busy it is often easier just to drive through a fast food place or ordering a pizza on the internet. What many people do not know is that there are many great meals that can be cooked at home quickly and cost little money. These meals are often much healthier than eating out and will save you quite a bit of money each month.
One of the best meals to cook quickly at home is spaghetti. Spaghetti is fairly healthy and cost a few dollars for enough noodles for a few meals. Cooking spaghetti is as easy as boiling water in a pot then adding in the noodles. The noodles will cook themselves and once they are done all that you need to do is drain the water and add in butter. If you are looking to be healthy do not add any butter but remember it makes it taste much better. You can also add different types of cheeses or meat sauces for more flavors. Another popular option is hamburger meat. Brown some burger meat on the skillet then add it into your noodles once they are done. This is a good source of protein and makes a well balanced meal.
Another popular meal that can be made quickly is a smoothie. Smoothies are quick to make and can be made out of many ingredients. If you are in need of a meal in less than 10 minutes you should really consider a smoothie. All that it takes is a banana, some ice, milk, and peanut butter and you have a delicious well rounded meal in a cup. For even easier cooking try blending the smoothie with an immersion blender. An immersion blender will allow you to throw all of your ingredients into a metal mixing cup and start blending. These blenders and mixing cups are much easier to clean than traditional blenders and considerably decrease cooking time.
Finally, if you are looking for a meal on the go do not count out a simple meal like fruit and vegetables. A fruit plate is easy to make and very healthy. Try different fruits and vegetables out and find your favorites. Many go well with different types of crackers and meats for a bigger meal. Fruit salads are a great way to stay healthy and get dinner quickly while you are on the go.
There are many healthy meals that are easy to make. If you are a busy professional trying to eat healthy is a hectic world then consider trying these meals for dinner next week. I think you will be surprised at just how delicious and healthy these meals can be.
