4 Easy & Healthy Weeknight Dinners Featuring Spice Tribe
How To Actually Cook Healthy Weeknight Dinners At Home
Even though I love nutrition and cooking, I also frequently experience the feeling of coming home after a long day and wanting nothing to do with cooking. I’m tired and just want to sit on the couch the rest of the night?! On the other hand though, I know well enough at this point that if I order food, or have an unbalanced meal, I am just going to feel more tired and lethargic. Cooking a nutrient-dense meal really does make me feel 10000x better after a long day.
So how do we get from the couch to the kitchen? My approach is having a handful of dinners you’ve mastered cooking in the kitchen. These dinners are easy and healthy. What exactly does easy mean though? My version is a meal that takes little to no effort and is ready in 20-30 minutes (ideally less!). I also want some flavor in there, but I feel the ‘flavor’ favors (dips, dressings, etc.) always seem to take the longest making my easy dinner well… not so easy.
Spice Tribe Seasoning Blends
That’s when Spice Tribe saves the day! Spice Tribe is a business that sells spices and seasonings. They source the finest spices from all over the world, and offer a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Their spices are perfect for cooking at home, and they make a great gift for any foodie. As a mindful eating promoter, one of my favorite things about Spice Tribe, is their belief that food should be savored and should be an experience that grounds you in the moment. Spice Tribe says, “The practice of mindful cooking is one of slowing down so you can be present, not just while you’re eating, but while you’re creating what you eat.”
This is a very important reminder that even “quick + easy” dinners can serve as a time to disconnect from your busy, hectic day…and instead connect with the food that is front of you. I don’t always nail this mindful cooking practice, but when I do, I feel much more relaxed and at ease.
To continue practicing mindful cooking and making flavorful dishes, Spice Tribe gifted me with 4 spices. I chose their Porcini Paradiso Italian Blend, Ancient Halaby Middle Eastern Chile Blend, Long-Tail Sunset Thai Blend, and Masa Mole Mexican Blend. With these 4 spices, I was able to make 4 easy & healthy weeknight dinners that did not fail to pack in the perfect amount of flavor.
