4 Meal Recipes to Try With Little to No Mess!

 

 

When preparing meals, the thought of cleaning up after can sometimes ruin the fun in creating them. However, there are plenty of simply prepared meals that involve a minimal clean up. As you read this article, you'll learn about 4 meal recipes to try with little to no mess.  

Chili

One of the easiest dishes to create is chili. To begin, simply brown your ground beef or turkey in a pan over medium heat. While the meat is browning, choose a few veggies to chop up. Great chili additions include onion, bell pepper, carrots, celery, and garlic cloves. Simply pouring in a few cans of beans also adds a nice texture and gives chili that distinctive taste. When the meat is brown, simply toss everything in your crock pot for a few hours and enjoy the small amount of dishes it takes to prepare and clean. 

Salmon

One of the easiest and most nutritious dishes you can choose is salmon. Canned salmon is convenient and is great for a quick meal with no real mess. Begin by placing wild-caught Alaskan salmon, which offers the most nutritional benefits, in a small bowl. Next, add a dollop of olive oil mayonnaise, some parsley or cilantro, salt and pepper, and a squirt of fresh lemon. Whisk all the ingredients with a fork to cook with the fish. It won't take many dishes and you'll instantly enjoy a delicious meal without any mess.  

Smoothie

An easy to clean up recipe worth trying is a smoothie. Smoothies are delicious, nutritious, and easily customized. Begin with an almond milk or coconut milk base, add a handful of spinach or kale, berries, a dollop of peanut or almond butter, and a scoop of whey protein powder. Toss everything in a blender and blend it up until it's smooth. The best blender will create this smoothie easily within two or three minutes. 

Chicken

Another simple recipe with minimal clean up is oven-baked chicken. To create this dish, begin by purchasing your favorite brand of chicken breasts. Next, rinse the chicken, pat it dry, and create your marinade. Delicious marinade options include olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, salt and pepper, and even store bought flavors. Once you choose your favorite spices and flavors for your marinade, place the chicken in the marinade and allow it to sit in the fridge for as long as possible. Once you've allowed the chicken to marinate, place the chicken in the oven for about 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
