Quick, Easy and Healthy Recipes

As a mother of two, finding the time to cook a homemade meal sometimes feels like the most impossible task in the world. Whenever I am tempted by frozen dinners or take-out meals, I try to go through a mental list of my favorite quick and easy recipes instead. Quick and easy recipes, in my definition, use readily available ingredients lying around the pantry (nothing too exotic), require little effort, and, most importantly, taste amazing. If the recipe surpasses those hurdles--and manages to be somewhat healthy, then I definitely know that it's a keeper. We are blessed with several Intent Voice bloggers who know a thing or two about cooking. Here are some of my favorite quick and easy recipes posted in the past on Intent.com. They also happen to be very good for you as well: • Michele Schofforo Cooks' Roasted Carrot Soup. A great way to take advantage of all the extra carrots in your vegetable drawer. • Mark Reinfeld's Quick and Easy Roast Squash drizzled with maple syrup. Yum! • Theresa Long's Curried Chickpeas taste wonderful over basmati rice or quinoa Readers, what are your favorite quick, easy and healthy recipes?
