Ready to get cooking? Here are 10 last-minute dinner ideas for you.<\/p>\n<p>The meals on this list have to meet two criteria.\u00a0First, they\u2019ve gotta be fast. REALLY fast. Second, they have to be meals with ingredients I keep in my pantry and freezer.\u00a0I always have frozen veggies. I always have pasta, I always have potatoes, and tortillas, etc.<\/p>\n<p>So, here they are, straight from my notecards: our favorite 10 Minute Dinners!<\/p>\n<h2>#1 Whole Wheat\u00a0Pasta &amp; Veggies<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"745\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"spaghetti with vegetables and cheese on a white plate\" class=\"wp-image-10538\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p>This is our #1 favorite last-minute meal.\u00a0We generally make this dish 90% of the time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 package whole wheat noodles (I love whole wheat angel hair- only 5 minutes to boil it!)<\/li>\n<li>1 bag of frozen veggies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cook pasta according to package directions.\u00a0 Include the veggies\u00a0while you cook the pasta in the pasta water for the entire cooking time.\u00a0 Drain pasta and veggies.\u00a0 Then add:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tablespoon butter<\/li>\n<li>1\/4-1\/2 cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese (fresh is best, but we use whatever we have)<\/li>\n<li>Optional: If we have any leftover meat from previous dinners, I\u2019ll heat up the meat (usually chicken) and then throw this in after the noodles are drained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are so many things I like about this meal, but mostly, that my kids NEVER complain when we eat it. In fact, most nights they will ask for this meal.\u00a0 They usually ask for it by saying, \u201cCan we have angel hairs tonight?\u201d But this is the meal they are referring to.\u00a0 Any noodles with broccoli and parmesan cheese, they will eat!<\/p>\n<h2>#2 Tacos<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"745\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1626709829_74_Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"crunchy chicken tacos on a square plate served with strawberries\" class=\"wp-image-15840\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p>Tacos <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Any meat (ground beef, chicken, fish)<\/li>\n<li>Any bean (black beans, pinto beans, refried beans, black eyed peas)<\/li>\n<li>Any veggies (tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, peppers, salsa, etc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>#3 Burritos<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1626709829_485_Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"tortilla topped with cheese, beans, and ground turkey on a blue plate\" class=\"wp-image-17892\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p>Similar to tacos, but you definitely want a tortilla here. We generally use this recipe for burritos, but it can be super flexible. We\u2019ll add:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beans,<\/li>\n<li>Veggies,<\/li>\n<li>Meat (optional)<\/li>\n<li>and sometimes rice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If we want to spend a few extra minutes, I\u2019ll wrap up the tortillas with the filling myself, and do quick pan-fry of the tortilla to seal the edge, and make the outside a bit crispy!<\/p>\n<h2>#4 Anything Breakfast<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1626709829_147_Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"pancakes topped with butter, blueberries, and syrup on a white plate with a blue napkin\" class=\"wp-image-19947\"  \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>I have yet to meet a kid complain about breakfast for dinner! \u00a0 Whether your kids like waffles, pancakes, or egg dishes, 90% of our breakfasts take less than 10 minutes to make! \u00a0The only thing you need on hand to make this happen is baking supplies (like flour, milk, salt, etc.) and eggs!<\/p>\n<h2>#5 Sloppy Joes<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"745\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1626709829_596_Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"sloppy joes on a whole wheat bun served with carrot and celery sticks\" class=\"wp-image-16686\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p>We stock up on ground beef and ground turkey, so we always have the ingredients to make these\u00a0sloppy joes.

(you can jar your own or freeze your own to control the ingredients, or check labels to choose one low in sugar and sodium. \u00a0Trader Joe\u2019s has a pasta\u00a0sauce that we keep on hand for emergencies like 10 minute meals!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>#7 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"745\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1626709829_828_Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"grilled cheese on a white square plate served with oranges, tomatoes and carrots\" class=\"wp-image-81747\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p>These CAN be healthy! \u00a0We do grilled cheese with whole wheat bread, and we add spinach leaves. To make it even extra healthy and filling, we also add tomato soup for dipping (only if we have some in the freezer. \u00a0Any time I make tomato soup, we double it and store half in the freezer for busy nights!)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"745\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1626709829_504_Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"grilled quesadillas topped with salsa and served with peaches on a yellow plate\" class=\"wp-image-16460\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p>We make quesadillas simply with veggies, beans, tortillas, and cheese! \u00a0All items we have on hand. \u00a0Check out our recipe for this one here.<\/p>\n<h2>#9 Egg Frittatas with greens<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"745\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1626709830_45_Top-10-Ideas-for-10-Minute-Dinners.jpg\" alt=\"asparagus and cheese frittata cut into wedges on a white plate\" class=\"wp-image-8010\"  \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>This breakfast for dinner is very filling and very fast! \u00a0Cooking for the whole family in one skillet is also fast clean up!
