Less is More

We've all been there. Things get busy, someone forgets to do the grocery shopping, and suddenly, at the end of a long day, you're standing in front of your fridge with nothing to cook. Rather than order takeout for the fifth time this week, take a look at these easy, breezy recipes, all of which call for eight ingredients or less!

Monday

EASYLOW-FAT

Beef & Onion Soy Sauce Noodles

Pups with Chopsticks

Simple beef and onion soy sauce noodles that can be made in 10 minutes. Super flavorful with wonderful textures!

Tuesday

EASYLOW-FAT

Broiled Arctic Char with Citrus Sauce

Alexandra's Kitchen

In 5 minutes, these arctic char fillets are cooked through, emerging with caramelized edges and skin glistening, ready to receive a citrus bath. Lots of crusty bread is a must, and a simple green salad is nice too.

Wednesday

EASYLOW-FAT

Pineapple Chicken

Buy This Cook That

Using only 5 ingredients, this fast and delicious recipe for pineapple chicken will soon become a weeknight family favorite. Tangy sweet pineapple with a blend of sauce, brown sugar, and soy makes a perfectly tender and moist baked chicken entree.

-Save leftover rice for tomorrow.

Thursday

EASYLOW-FAT

Cumin Beef Fried Rice

Pups with Chopsticks

Use the leftover rice from last night for this quick and easy beef fried rice with egg fried rice and cumin ground beef. Great on its own or with a side of hummus!

Friday

EASYLOW-FAT

BBQ Sweet Potato and Veggie Pita Pizza

Lemons and Basil

This individual sized pita bread allows each pizza to be customizable according to preferences, making it an easy solution for those who want separate toppings. Even better, with the pita bread fully baked, this pizza comes together quickly, making dinner in 30 minutes a real thing!

Weekend Dessert

EASYLOW-FAT
