​Before I start, I want to thank all of you who have nominated me for blogger awards. I did get your messages but with a lot of awards I've gotten, I couldn't simply write/answer all the questions. However, I did enjoy reading about each and one of you and I really appreciate that you loved my blog! Thank you so much! 
When I asked you what you wanted to read more on my blog, a lot of you said healthy homemade recipes! So today, I am sharing my 5 quick and healthy homemade recipes you can cook for dinner (or lunch). These are very easy to make and learn since you only need few ingredients. Try these recipes at home and let me know what you think! Also, I think you might like my simple & healthy breakfast post! So without further ado, let's get right into these 5 healthy & quick homemade dinner recipes.

1. Broccoli Stir Fry Rice
  • Ingredients: Olive Oil, Soy Sauce, Broccoli, Onions, and Rice
  • I use extra virgin olive oil. 
  • You can add sriracha if you want to spice up! 
Steps:
1> Put olive oil on the pan and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
2> Put cut broccoli and onions.
3> Add the soy sauce and rice.
4> Stir fry them all together for 5-7 minutes.
5> Put all of them inside a bowl and eat!

2. Chicken Dish 
  • Ingredients: tomato, broccoli, olive oil, chicken breast, salt, pepper, cilantro leaves, and parsley 
  • For seasoning, I normally buy the brand McCormick as they have a lot of spices available at an affordable price. 

​Steps:
1> Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
(You can really season whichever you want with. For me, I added cilantro leaves and parsley as well.)
2> Put olive oil and the seasoned chicken on the pan.
3> Cook the seasoned chicken for 20-30 mins on medium high heat
(both sides)
4> On the other pan, put olive oil and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
5> Cut broccoli and tomatoes (or any other veggies you want) 
6> Put cut veggies in the pan & stir fry it just enough for them to be not raw.
7> When they are both done, put them on a plate and eat!

​3. Sausage & Egg Dish 
  • Ingredients: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sausage, Egg, and Brown Rice

​Steps:
1> Put the olive oil on the pan and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
2> Cut the sausage into pieces and put it in the pan.
3> Let it cook for 8-10 minutes.
4> Crack eggs into the pan and add rice.
5> Mix them up and cook for another 3-5 minutes. 
6> Place all of them in a bowl, and it's time to eat!

Sorry the visual isn't the best, I was so hungry when I made this. But it tastes so good! You can also add veggies if you'd like.

​

​4. Pasta Dish
  • Ingredients: penne pasta (or any type of pasta you like), pasta sauce, broccoli, tomatoes, chicken, olive oil, ground beef, and salt
  • I normally use the brand Barilla for pastas.
  • For pasta sauce, I use the brand Prego. My favorites are fresh mushrooms and tomato basil garlic. Recommend them as they are super delicious! 

​Steps for pasta:
1> Boil the pasta for 15-20 minutes.
2> While the pasta is cooking, on the other pan, cook the ground beef for 15-20 minutes. (make sure it's all the way cooked, you don't want to get sick) 
3> Prepare the pasta sauce. You can put mushrooms or onions or any veggies you'd like. For this dish below, we just put salt a bit since the sauce is rich in flavor already. 
4> Put the cooked pasta into the sauce and mix them together.
5> Add the ground beef onto the pasta. 
6> Cook all of them together for another 3-5 minutes. 
7> It's ready to be served! 

Steps for sides:
Follow the Chicken Dish above. (You just need cut chicken into pieces)

5. Kimbap Dish
This Korean traditional dish is perfect for vegetarians or if you want a healthy meal. I talked about this dish in my previous New Haven Travel Post - my mom made this for us! 
  • Ingredients: yellow radish, spinach, avocado, cheese, kimchi, rice, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and seaweed paper
  • You will need the sushi roller to make this. 
  • You also need to buy the seaweed paper for the use of kimbap.
  • Not this kind: the small roasted seaweed where it's ready-to-eat with rice. 
  • You can also add any additional ingredients you want. Think of it as Korean sushi but without raw fish.
Steps:
1> In a bowl, put rice and sesame oil to make the rice a bit more seasoned. 
2> Cut the yellow radish, spinach, avocado, cheese, and kimchi into a bite size.
3> Put the sushi roller below the seaweed paper.
4> Spread your seasoned rice on 2/3 of the seaweed paper. 
4> In the center of the rice, put the bite-sized ingredients.
5> Roll them along with the sushi roller to make all the ingredients in place. 
6> Once you are done rolling them, add some rice at the end of the seaweed paper so it sticks onto each other. (if not, while you cut them, the ingredients might fall out)
7> Cut them into bite-sized like the photo below.
8> Put all of them on a plate, top with sesame seeds.
9> You are ready to eat! Yum!!
