Cooking for a family of three can be tricky, especially when you’re short on time. But with the right recipes, you can create healthy, delicious meals in no time!
One of the easiest meals for three is a classic stir-fry. Start by cooking some rice (1 cup) in a pot, according to package instructions. In a large skillet, heat some oil over high heat and add in some diced chicken (1 lb) and sliced vegetables (such as bell peppers and onions). Cook for a few minutes until the chicken is no longer pink, then add in some minced ginger and garlic (1 teaspoon each). Add in a sauce made from soy sauce (⅓ cup), honey (2 tablespoons), and water (¼ cup). Cook until the vegetables are tender, then serve over the cooked rice.
If you’re in the mood for something a little heartier, try this easy pasta dish. Start by cooking some pasta (8 oz) according to package instructions. In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat and add in some sliced sausage (12 oz) and diced onion (1 cup). Cook until the sausage is browned, then add in some minced garlic (2 cloves) and canned tomatoes (1 can). Cook for a few minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Add in the cooked pasta, along with some chopped fresh parsley (¼ cup) and grated Parmesan cheese (½ cup).
For a healthy and light meal, try this colorful quinoa bowl. Start by cooking some quinoa (1 cup) in a pot, according to package instructions. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and add in some diced sweet potato (1 cup) and broccoli florets (2 cups). Cook until the vegetables are tender, then add in some canned chickpeas (1 can) and some minced garlic (1 clove). Cook for a few minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the vegetable mixture over the cooked quinoa, and top with some diced avocado (1), chopped cilantro (¼ cup), and a squeeze of lime juice.
