Ten Minute Dinner For Foodie Friday

Today for Foodie Friday I am bringing you a super simple meal. Sometimes you need to get dinner on the table in ten minutes or less. This is typically when we reach for take out or fast food. This can be expensive and can unravel all your good intentions of having a healthy wholesome meal on the dinner table. If you are wanting a ten minute dinner that is still healthy and doesn’t break the bank, I have got you covered.

Ten Minute Dinner: Utilize Convenience foods.

Although you can prepare this meal in a super fast fashion, you can make it even faster if you utilize some prepackaged ingredients they include.

Rotisserie chicken or precooked chicken breast Costco has a great option

Hard boiled eggs private selection brand from Kroger is great

Bagged lettuce choose organic whenever possible. You can also use spinach or spring mix

Chopped onions I choose red.

shredded cheese I choose organic whenever possible

Bacon bits choose the option with the fewest ingredients

sunflower seeds stick with options cooked in their own oil and not soybean or corn if possible

Ranch dressing choose an option with canola oil over soybean if available.

If you utilize these resources all you have to do is combine, add some dressing and dinner is complete. It is easy as that. Don’t let your busy night keep you from getting a delicious meal on the table in record time. Dinner doesn’t always have to be difficult or fancy. The most important part is taking the time to sit around the table and share a meal.
