Skinny Lemon Chicken Skillet
This will be your go-to recipe anytime that takeout menu is beckoning. The sauce (made of lemon juice, lemon zest, vegetable broth, cornstarch, honey and Braggs’ Liquid Aminos) adds such a zesty flavor to the chicken that you’ll swear it’s straight from a wok (minus the MSG or high sodium). Steam some bok choy or edamame on the side to round out the dish.

Quinoa Enchilada Casserole
This meal can turn any humdrum weeknight into a family fiesta. And feel free to help yourself to seconds since it substitutes super-grain quinoa for tortillas. Once you’ve combined all the ingredients, let bake for 15 minutes and serve with a side of salsa. Easy-peasy.

Quick-Fix Fancy Shrimp Ramen
While this isn’t quite as “instant” as the ramen you were accustomed to in college, it’s far more nutritious and quite simple to make, too. Just bring garlic, vinegar, ginger and soy sauce to a boil and add the ramen. While the ramen is cooking, prepare the garnishes (green onions, limes, corn, bean sprouts, carrots and cucumber) and cook the frozen shrimp. Combine all ingredients and dinner is served.

Soup Bowl Lasagna
Craving good old-fashioned lasagna but don’t have two hours to make it? Try this “soup bowl” version instead. Simply boil the noodles until tender and blanch the spinach. Heat the ricotta in a separate saucepan, stirring in the mozzarella, while warming the sauce in another pan. Finally, assemble into soup bowls: Ladle sauce into each bowl, top with noodles, cheese and spinach, and repeat until each gooey, saucy stack is complete.

Simple Spicy Shrimp Rolls
It can be your little secret that this recipe is so insanely easy. Just spice the shrimp with some Cajun seasoning and dried oregano, sear them in a little oil, and make the sauce (a combo of mayo, Tabasco, Cajun hot sauce and lemon juice). Fill the hoagie rolls with the seared shrimp; top with lettuce, tomato, onion and sauce, and your goal of having dinner on the table in 15 minutes is accomplished.
