What to cook for dinner is simple and tasty. A delicious dinner made from simple ingredients. Delicious dinner inexpensively

Evening. You relax after a working day on your favorite sofa with a TV remote control and a cup of aromatic tea.

Ding-ding! Guests have arrived! With cake and good mood. Holiday? Of course it's a holiday! After all, only the closest friends come this way. Those for whom the most important thing is communication with you, and not a perfect feast according to all the rules, but some quick meal will still be needed.

Each housewife has a different understanding "quick recipe". Some barely have time to unwrap a dried piece of cheese, while some sorceresses manage to cook a hodgepodge while the guests wash their hands.

The call to use what is in your refrigerator can also be interpreted in different ways. Why do I need a quick salad recipe that contains quinoa (a grain), rice vinegar, sesame oil and chilled king prawns? If the latter appear in my refrigerator, they certainly won’t wait for random guests.

I did in some way "reminder sheet" those snacks that you can prepare in a few minutes while listening to your friends' latest news. There is no point in describing these quick recipes in detail - they are too simple and familiar to any adult.

Guests on the doorstep: recipes for quick dishes

At the end of the article I will do a list of products with a long shelf life that simply must be in the refrigerator when an unexpected guest crosses the threshold of your home.

So. Here's my "reminder"
(click on the links, many quick recipes will open :-)):

1. You can eat anything with melted cheese. When guests are on the doorstep, recipes for quick dishes are difficult to remember, so hot sandwiches are a real salvation for such an occasion. The only constant ingredient is cheese, so you should always have some hard variety in an impenetrable shell (such as Olterman) with a shelf life of up to 8 months. On bread of any freshness, place pieces of boiled chicken or meat, slices of sausage or sausage, slices of tomato or just ketchup, thin onion rings or pickles. You can add parsley and dill for beauty. Top with cheese and put in the microwave for a minute and a half.

Cheese can be eaten in its original form.

2. "Dinner in Italian" Perhaps this is the leader among quick recipes and the rest of humanity. A pack of quality spaghetti and a factory-made twist with vegetable sauce. Do not overcook the pasta and do not overheat the gravy. Sprinkle with fresh herbs. All! Beautiful plates, tablecloths, candles and napkins. Red wine in glasses. Oh…

3. “Russian vodka, black bread herring.” Also an option. Herring comes in iron cans. Let it lie in the bins for such a case. You can also put lightly salted trout in fresh oil. Or red caviar. During a leisurely conversation, young potatoes will quickly cook. And if you have a piece of lightly salted salmon hidden in the refrigerator...

4. "In the morning - scrambled eggs, in the afternoon - scrambled eggs, at night - an omelet". This is where your fantasy plays out. You can simply put a few eggs on half boiled eggs, or mix the yolks with cod liver. Omelette with herbs, tomatoes and onions, cheese, ham, green beans (or other deep-frozen vegetables), etc. Just fried eggs, after all. The main thing is beautiful, fast and satisfying. Another option - let the omelette become "envelope" for the cheese, ham and vegetables you have. Here is a photo.

5. Delicious treats made from frozen puff pastry. This quick recipe takes some skill. Rehearse it once so you don’t experiment in front of guests. Fillings can be salty or sweet. The dough defrosts very quickly. For example, make small triangles with cheese. 20-25 minutes in the oven and you will have a wonderful one.

6. Shrimp are like candy. Having a pack of frozen shrimp in the freezer never hurts. If you don’t want to mess around, just cook it in well-salted water with spices. And if, after a short cooking, you fry them in tomato-garlic sauce... Guests are always delighted with such a quick recipe.

If your guest is going to come alone, and even in a romantic mood... Here’s a very quick and simple one (this vegetable is now in any vegetable stall, no more exotic than radish).

7. Quick salads. You will find a huge number of recipes on the Internet, it is difficult to recommend anything specific. It’s better to decide what exactly you will prepare in an emergency. Let the cupboard have canned fish, crabs or cod liver, champignons in their own juice, green peas, sweet corn, etc. In the refrigerator there are crab sticks, ham, feta cheese, mayonnaise, and some vegetables.

Just in case, here's a cheat sheet: .

8. Hearty hot dessert. This is my weakness... Cherry dumplings with sour cream for tea... If you have the patience to make it in advance and freeze it, you are a hero of our time. You can also find a decent option in the store. After all, there's nothing inside these dumplings but cherries and sugar.

9. Lavash with filling. Personally, I like the hot version. I wrap cheese, diced tomatoes and greens in sheets of Armenian lavash. Fry in a dry frying pan on both sides. Some people grease it with butter, others like crispy pita bread with hot filling. .

10. For the most helpless. It also happens - guests are on the doorstep, recipes for quick dishes cause panic or a sudden attack of laziness. Hang on the refrigerator the phone numbers of trusted suppliers of pizza, sushi and Ossetian pies. It’s not always fast and tasty, but guests won’t go hungry.

Now the promised list of products for preparing quick recipes.

Grab some of the above in the store, and the “guest on the doorstep” situation will no longer frighten you.

Juices, sparkling mineral water, good white and red wine, liqueurs.
Canned vegetables (corn, peas, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives).
Ketchup, mayonnaise, ready-made spaghetti seasonings.
Frozen shrimp, crab sticks, deep-frozen vegetable mixtures, dumplings, puff pastry.
A jar of caviar (even pollock), canned fish.
Bryndza in cardboard or plastic packaging, a small whole head of cheese.
Ice cream in a large package.

The eternal dilemma - to have dinner or not to have dinner— divided all people into two warring camps. One of them proves the importance of a full evening meal. The latter are convinced that food consumed after 18:00 is harmful to the figure. Reconciling these two camps is quite simple: all you have to do is not eat 2-3 hours before bedtime, and the wolves will be full and the sheep will be safe.

In other words, it is better not to eat before bed. But, if your sleep begins at 1-2 am, the body will simply need nutritional elements, so enduring hunger is not an option for you. If you go to bed at 21-22, then it is really better to eat at six in the evening, and before going to bed limit yourself to a glass of kefir. But there are important points in preparing dinner that everyone needs to consider, no matter what time you sit down at the table in the evening. We will tell you about them below.

If you are planning to lose weight and are convinced that if you “give dinner to the enemy,” then all the extra calories and kilograms will disappear without a trace, you are mistaken. By refusing to eat in the evening, you go to bed with an empty stomach, and as a result, you cannot fall asleep, your mood deteriorates, and you still go to eat, and in the best case, this happens at 10 pm, and not at 3 am, for example. . Then you are tormented by a feeling of guilt, and the extra pounds not only do not decrease, but on the contrary, they increase.

Rule one

4 hours before bedtime. This is the ideal time for food to be fully absorbed and not stored as fat. If you eat right before bed, your stomach will not have time to digest what you have eaten, and the food will begin to ferment in it and poison the body. The calories will remain unspent and will be easily attached to the waist.

Rule two

Nutritional value. Sleeping at night is not only an opportunity to sleep and recharge, it is also a time when our body renews itself. At night, the skin and muscles are restored, nails and hair grow more actively. The purpose of dinner is to replenish amino acid reserves in the body.

The ideal products for this are those that contain light protein, as well as those that are combined with protein. Namely: seafood and fish, cottage cheese and white cheese (brynza, mozzarella, Adyghe), eggs, legumes (beans, lentils) and mushrooms.

The best partners for protein are vegetables. A good side dish for dinner would be green salad, bell peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers, broccoli and cauliflower, pumpkin, eggplant, zucchini and zucchini. The ratio of protein to vegetables should be 1:2 . The main thing is that the vegetables are not fried. They can be raw, steamed, grilled, baked; it is important that they retain their beneficial properties, which are neutralized when frying.

Fats for dinner should be vegetable or natural, from the food itself.

If you are wondering goal to lose weight, pay attention to the recipes for dietary cabbage dinner. Any kind is suitable - broccoli, cauliflower, white broccoli, Brussels sprouts, red broccoli. All its types contain tartronic acid, which prevents the formation of fat.

It is also useful to eat slowly, chewing food slowly. In this case, the hormone cholecystokinitis, which is responsible for the feeling of satiety, will begin to be produced in the small intestine and duodenum, and you will be limited to a much smaller amount of food.

Rule three

Fistful rule. In addition to what you should eat for dinner, it is important to consider how much you should eat. Ideal quantity - two palms, or a handful. Mentally estimate how much food will fit into your hands - this is the portion you need.

On average, in grams for a woman it’s 250 grams, 80 of which are protein and 170 vegetables; for a man - 350 g, 100 g protein and 250 g vegetables respectively. If there are no contraindications, dilute your evening diet with spices and herbs: cardamom, coriander, black pepper, ginger. These products will speed up the elimination of cholesterol and unnecessary fat, improve metabolic processes, blood circulation, support the digestive organs and, in addition, they are very tasty. Just be careful: just one gram more spices than needed can ruin your entire dish.

Of the required daily calorie supply, a low-calorie dinner should give you 20%, approximately 400 kilocalories, or 300 kilocalories if you plan to lose weight.

What should you exclude from your evening diet?

Your enemies during dinner: fruits, dried fruits, sandwiches, buns, all types of sweets, as well as flour products. In addition to these products, nutritionists also advise refraining from potatoes, carrots, beets, corn flakes, cereals, especially rice.

Also avoid fried foods.. When frying, food becomes heavy, which impedes the functioning of important digestive organs: the gallbladder, liver and pancreas. Especially red meat! There simply aren’t enough enzymes in the pancreas to completely absorb it. And of course, the tandem of meat and flour will be too much for the body. It’s best to leave your favorite dumplings, dumplings or meat pies for the next lunch.

What to do if you feel hungry before bed

If you endure unbearable conditions 4 hours before bedtime, fermented milk products will come to your aid: 1% kefir, low-fat yogurt without sugar, fermented baked milk. Such a light snack is allowed by nutritionists; it is advisable, however, not to eat it right before bed. You can “kill” your appetite with a portion of the drink. A glass of water, rose hip decoction, compote will suit you; these drinks are not high in calories, but they will calm your stomach.

If you really want sweets in the evening, you need to understand that this is due to irregular nutrition. If you skip a meal, or didn’t eat enough, the insulin level in your blood drops sharply and the body needs to replenish its reserves of strength, and it demands it in its most favorite form - chocolate, for example.

So as not to crave sweets in the evenings, you need to eat right throughout the day, and for lunch there are complex carbohydrates: cereals and vegetables. Chocolate can be replaced with mint tea with a spoon of honey.

It is important not to miss the moral aspect: your body wants to enjoy food, so think about how tasty it is and how it will help you relax and unwind.
