What are some new, quick, and healthy dinner recipes?

Q. I love trying new recipes, but I'm all out of ideas :(


Answer
Lately I've been into shrimp salad sandwiches. It's easy, just buy a bag of frozen, cooked shrimp. Take out a handfull for each person, let them sit in a bowl of warm water until there are defrosted (5 min) then cut them up and mix with lowfat mayo. On a roll with lettuce- amazing!

A whole roast chicken is always great. It's not quick but all you have to do is pull the guts out, sprinkle with garlic powder, and roast at 425 for an hour an hour and a half. My mom does 350 for 2 hours but I'm impatient.

Shake & Bake pork chops only take 20 minutes and while they are cooking, put in a seperate cookie sheet with cut up veggies tossed in olive oil & garlic seasonings. They are so good, I use zucchini & carrots!

Pasta- instead of the standard tomato sauce, mix with olive oil, minced garlic, parm cheese, and some veggies. I always add black olives!

Steak tips only take 5 minutes if you buy them small enough. I cook them in a frying pan with butter but you can use cooking spray to be healthier.

Some easy, healthy dinner recipes?
