Quick And Easy Peppery Spinach Quesadillas

This is one of the most delicious and easy healthy dinner recipes that you will find. Not only is it extra yummy, but you don't have to stand at the stove all day muttering under your breath. You're done in about 15 minutes!

Here's what you'll need to create this quick and easy meal –

• 1 medium package whole wheat soft tortillas
• 1 package of fresh baby spinach
• 1 8oz package low-fat mozzarella
• 1 can organic black beans
• 1 Tbsp black pepper
• 1 jar veggie salsa of your choice

First, you will heat the beans on medium low heat until they are hot. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and spray a cookie sheet or pizza pan with non-stick spray.

This really is one of the greatest healthy dinner recipes. There is practically no cooking involved! Plus your kids will actually eat the spinach when prepared this way! Chop your baby spinach finely.

Get 8 tortillas ready and spoon about 2-3 tbsp of the heated beans on one side of each tortilla. Sprinkle a dash of pepper on the beans, and add a tablespoon or two of the mozzarella cheese.

Place these in the oven, open, for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted. Take them out of the oven and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of spinach to each tortilla.

Fold the tortillas while the cheese is still hot, and cut each one into 4 quarters. You can dip these in the salsa, and they are yummy!

If you love a little spice in your food, sprinkle a dash of cayenne pepper on each quesadilla before you put it in the oven. There are so many healthy dinner recipes you can find, if you just use your imagination and creativity. Enjoy!

Tired of trying to find healthy dinner recipes that your
family will eat? Do your kids refer to the healthy food you cook them as 'seaweed?' Well, you should know that there are tons of great recipes that are healthy and delicious. Here's one that the whole family will love.

What you need

• 2 26 ounce jars of organic pasta sauce
• 1 8oz package of whole wheat lasagna noodles
• 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 large eggplant, chopped up
• 2 zucchini, sliced thinly
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms
• 3 Tbsp chopped oregano
• 1 12oz tub of low fat cottage cheese
• 1 8oz package of shredded low fat mozzarella cheese

You want to try and use organic foods as much as possible in your healthy dinner recipes. Organic foods are free of pesticides, hormones and harmful toxins. Here's how you make this delicious lasagna.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a large saucepan, drizzle your olive oil, and allow it to heat up. Then place your garlic in to saute a bit. After it's sizzling pretty well, you want to add your eggplant, zucchini, and mushrooms.

Bring a pot of water to a boil, and place your lasagna noodles in it. Allow it to boil until your noodles are almost done. This will take around 30 minutes.

Continue to saute your vegetables until they are almost completely done. Then, you will layer your lasagna noodles, veggie mixture, pasta sauce, and cheeses in a large baking dish.

When you have used all of the ingredients, finish off with the last layer of cheese and sprinkle on the oregano. Instead of using salt for your healthy dinner recipes, find a great seasoning that will add flavor without the consequences. Enjoy!
