What are some quick, easy, and delicious dinner recipes I can make?

Question

My mom (hey, I'm a pre-teen!) is always complaining that theres nothing new to cook for dinner, or at least something we dont eat very often. Normally, we have Chicken Tom Yum, meat loaf, spaghetti/ lasagna, or Mac and Cheese. Some ideas or recipes will be helpful, thanks!

Answer 1

One of the easiest and yummiest things I make is cotoletta milanese. That's just a fancy way of saying "breaded cutlet" and you can do it with pork chops, veal, or chicken breasts.

Start with a boneless, skinless piece of meat, and take off any excess fat that you can. Then with a meat pounder, pound it out flat (maybe about 1/2" thick). Dip it in egg, then cover it in breadcrumbs, and fry it in a little olive oil over medium heat (heat the pan first, then add the olive oil, and when the olive oil is hot put the cutlet in). It doesn't take long--maybe 5 minutes each side? I judge by the color of the bread crumbs on the outside, or you can cut one open to make sure it's cooked in the center. Take it out of the pan and let it sit on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

I usually serve this whatever frozen vegetable is in my freezer, and salad. It's so easy to make, and every time I make it my fiance tells me how good it is. Now if he'd only say that about the rest of my cooking...

buon appetito!

Answer 2

Make a frittata! In large ovenproof (nonstick also) skillet, cook veggies such as diced onion, a little garlic, and then add crumbled cooked bacon, ham (whatever!). Beat 6-8 eggs with S&P, herbs such as parsley, and some parmesan cheese. Pour into skillet over veggies/meat. Cook on medium until bottom is lightly browned (do not mix--this will be like an egg 'pancake'). Place under broiler until the top is cooked and lightly brown. Slide out of skillet onto cutting board or large plate and cut into wedges using a pizza cutter or knife. Serve with green vegetable or salad. Leftover wedges make a tasty sandwich.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
