Quick & Healthy Weeknight Dinners in a Bowl

When we say “dinner in a bowl,” we don’t mean cold cereal. Despite what you may call “dinner” in the privacy of your own kitchen or living room when no one else is watching, we prefer something more healthful and more satisfying. Granted, these recipes will take a little more effort than opening a box and a little more skill than sniffing the milk to make sure it’s still OK—but not much more. They’re worth setting the table for. In just 25 minutes, you can be serving everyone in the house Inside-Out Lasagna. (Sounds cool, right?) Quick Pork & Chile Stew goes from one pot into four bowls, steaming hot and full of south-of-the-border flavor.

It isn’t often we pull out the heavy cream around here, but when we do it’s for a very good cause: in this case, Cod with Tomato Cream Sauce (even so, it’s still just 1⁄4 cup). Perhaps you order out from Asian noodle houses more than you’d care to admit; master our recipe for spicy Brothy Chinese Noodles in a quick half hour and you’ll be making them regularly at home instead.

Take the time to try these recipes and dinner will be ready before you can say “snap, crackle, pop!”
