New Years has come and gone and we are a few weeks into 2019. I know a lot of you out there have made resolutions to eat a bit better this year, so I decided to compile a post with 16 dinner recipes that are healthy and taste good enough that you will actually keep making them.
Enjoy!

1. Garlic Butter Shrimp with Asparagus
Shrimp and asparagus on one pan with lemon, butter and garlic, which means dinner and almost no washing up. Ready in about the time it takes to set the table.
Recipe from Eatwell101.
2. Skinny Chicken Marsala
The mushroom and marsala sauce you know, lightened up so it still tastes like the restaurant version. Good over courgette ribbons if you are watching the carbs too.
Recipe from Grandbaby Cakes.
3. Chicken Burrito Bowl
Built for meal prep, so you make it once and eat well for several days. Keep the fresh toppings separate until you serve it.
Recipe from Damn Delicious.
4. Pan Shrimp with Cherry Tomatoes and Asparagus
Another sheet pan dinner, this time with tomatoes bursting into the sauce as they roast. Quick enough for a weeknight when nobody wants to cook.
Recipe from Primavera Kitchen.
5. Healthy Chicken Marsala
A second take on marsala for anyone who wants to compare. This one leans a little further towards lighter ingredients.
Recipe from Busy But Healthy.
6. Lettuce Tacos with Mango Salsa
Lettuce instead of tortillas, and the mango salsa does the heavy lifting on flavour. Fresh and quick, and it travels for lunch the next day.
Recipe from Paleo Gluten Free.
7. Lemon Chicken with Asparagus
Five ingredients, which is about as simple as a proper dinner gets. Keep it in your back pocket for the nights that get away from you.
Recipe from Pinch of Yum.
8. Taco Stuffed Peppers
All the taco filling you want, served in a pepper instead of a shell. They reheat well, so make extra.
Recipe from The Cozy Cook.
9. Spicy Southwest Stuffed Peppers
The spicier cousin of the one above, and worth making if your family likes a bit of heat. Good with a spoon of sour cream on top.
Recipe from Jar of Lemons.
10. 20 Minute Turkey Chili
Twenty minutes start to finish, which is faster than most takeaways arrive. Turkey keeps it lighter than a beef chili without losing much.
Recipe from Not Enough Cinnamon.
11. Italian Turkey Meatballs
Meatballs simmered in tomato sauce, made with turkey rather than beef and pork. Serve them over squash or greens to keep the meal light.
Recipe from Cookin Canuck.
12. Stove Top Sloppy Joes
Sloppy joes made from scratch on the hob instead of out of a tin, and it takes barely longer. The sauce is where all the difference is.
Recipe from The Real Food Dietitians.
13. Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls
Steak rolled around vegetables and glazed with balsamic, which looks far more impressive than the effort involved. A good one for company.
Recipe from Tablespoon.
14. Lean Turkey Sloppy Joes
The turkey version of the sloppy joes above, for anyone cutting back on red meat. Just as messy, which is the point.
Recipe from Ambitious Kitchen.
15. Healthy Turkey Meatballs
Simple turkey meatballs that freeze beautifully. Make a big batch on a Sunday and you have three dinners sorted.
Recipe from Lauren Greutman.
16. Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Buffalo chicken with fresh vegetables in a lettuce cup, so you get the flavour without the bread. Easy to put together after work.
Recipe from Joyful Healthy Eats.
