Constantly having a “standby” supply of food in the refrigerator, any housewife will answer the question without hesitation: what to cook inexpensively. When eating inexpensively, you need to maintain the well-known balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates and not forget about living vitamins, getting them from fresh fruits and vegetables.

You can always save money by completely abandoning semi-finished products. In addition, this refusal will decisively improve the quality of nutrition, because all ready-made and semi-finished products contain incredible amounts of salt and preservatives.

It is known that almost any dish can be prepared inexpensively. It is worth paying attention to traditional dishes made from cereals, mushrooms, and vegetables - their simplicity (not only in preparation, but also in composition) will help you improve digestion disrupted by poor nutrition, improve your body’s health and help those who have been struggling for a long time and often unsuccessfully with excess weight.

And a delicious dinner? Are the recipes you have in stock too long-lasting or boring? We will help!

After a hard day at work, you really want to come home, eat something tasty, homemade and as hot as possible, and not hastily cook pasta and sausages. In conditions of constant workload of city residents, the most viable option, unfortunately, is the second option. Of course, it is periodically enlivened by food delivery, but this is still not an equivalent replacement. What should those who want to preserve their hearth and save energy do? Below we will tell you how to prepare a delicious dinner quickly and easily.

Educational program

The main waste of time in the process of preparing dinner after a hard day at work is the lack of a plan. Impromptu is always wonderful, but often not everyone is capable of performing it well. Therefore, in order to “spread straws” for yourself, you need to prepare in advance. We are talking about the usual planning of the diet for a week in advance. No, no one forces you to spend your hard-earned Sunday preparing food that will spoil by the middle of next week - so you will still return to pasta and dumplings. We will help you create an easy, tasty and quick dinner every night without much effort on your part. All you have to do is sit down and make a list of the ingredients you need to prepare the meals your family enjoys. At the same time, in order to provide a delicious dinner quickly and easily, these dishes should be prepared for a maximum of half an hour and require minimal participation from you.

So, the procedure is as follows: we make a list of foods and a list of ingredients necessary for its implementation, and go shopping for products that will survive a week of storage without problems. Anything perishable can be grabbed on the way home from work. The general preparatory work is now complete.

Lifesavers

To extend the life of your products, you can use the following techniques:

• Marinades. Wonderful looking workpieces. Meat, poultry, and fish will spend at least a couple of days in it (in the refrigerator!), without losing any of their taste or quality.
• Freezing. A wonderful thing. You can make the same stuffed cabbage rolls or pancakes; all you have to do is pour the sauce over them and bring them to readiness, or simply fry them. Also, if the family loves freshly baked sweets for evening tea, then in a free moment you can make shortcrust pastry and freeze them. So you can make cookies for dinner quickly, easily and tasty - just take out the supplies and bake without defrosting.

Now let's look at the food options.

Fish

This is an excellent option for a quick dinner, as this product is prepared very quickly. The recipe we offer is different in that you can provide yourself with a luxury dinner without much effort - just marinate the fish in advance. Practice has proven that storing it in this form only makes it tastier. We will need:

Finely chop the onion. Mix all ingredients except the main one. Cut the fish into portions. Coat it with the resulting mixture on all sides, place it in a container and fill it with the rest of the marinade. Don't be afraid of the honey in the composition - it will provide you with an unforgettable delicious dinner quickly and easily.

Cover the container with a tight lid and refrigerate at least overnight. If necessary, take out the required number of pieces and bake on foil for a third of an hour at a temperature of 200 o C.

Chicken

Wonderful product! Especially the fillet. It is low-fat, satisfying, and does not leave a heaviness in the stomach. You can cook in several ways:

You should not compare these methods in terms of energy consumption - these are all quick recipes for dinner, and their preparation period is about 15 minutes.

In the first case, you just need to beat the fillet, rub it with your favorite spices and fry it in a hot frying pan - with oil if you want a crispy crust, or without it if you want a thin waist. It’s better to salt it right away in the pan, so the meat will remain juicy.

In the second, you need to take cream with a fat content of at least 20%, add a mixture of your favorite spices to it, maybe mustard beans. Pour the resulting sauce over the chicken fillet, cut into portions, and remove as needed, simply fry in a frying pan. For 500 grams of meat you need 300 ml of cream. Thanks to this recipe you will get the most tender, light, tasty and quick dinner, just add to the meat

In the third case, we are not talking about the mayonnaise in bags that can now be found in every supermarket, but about its homemade variation, which is simply an egg-oil emulsion. Chicken fillet is dry on its own, but the oil makes it juicier. For mayonnaise you will need:

• eggs - 2 pcs.;
• vegetable oil - 200 ml;
• citrus juice - 1 tbsp. spoon;
• favorite spices - to taste.

Beat the eggs, slowly adding oil to them. The mass will immediately thicken. Add juice and spices, stir. Pour this mixture over 500 grams of fillet, cut into portions, and remove as needed.

Paste

Yes, yes, the ill-fated pasta is still vying for your light dinner. Easy dinner recipes would be incomplete without them, you’ll agree. But we come from a canteen with the motto “But it’s satisfying!” Let's move on to Italian cuisine, which is impossible without pasta. The simplest, but no less tasty variation is “Carbonara”:

Cook pasta according to instructions.

At the same time, melt the butter over medium heat. Finely chop the onion, garlic and bacon, fry until intense and appetizing. Avoid burning! Otherwise, an easy, tasty and quick dinner will not work out, and the mood along with the food will be ruined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, yolks, Parmesan, salt and pepper until smooth. Pour the mixture into the onions and bacon, stir quickly and turn off immediately.

Add the resulting sauce to the prepared pasta, stir and serve immediately.

If desired, bacon can be replaced with ham, vegetables, and mushrooms. Of course, it won’t be Carbonara, but the main thing is that it’s delicious.

Soups

Today you can find countless varieties of soups, but they are based on canned fish, which is not very healthy. We offer you a wonderful, healthy and tasty soup:

Add salt and cook until the vegetables are soft. You can serve by sprinkling each serving with finely chopped herbs.

Side dishes

In the case of side dishes, the ideal option, in addition to the usual potatoes and boring pasta, is what came to us from the east.
