A round-up of some of the best, easiest healthy recipes for two.
Happy 2018! How were your New Year’s celebrations? Have you sat down and made your resolutions yet? If one of them was to eat a little healthier, stick around a while because today’s post is for you.
I went back into the Baking Mischief archives and pulled together all the dinner recipes for two that might be considered “healthy,” be it low-calorie, lightened up versions of fattening favorites, or recipes that max out on the protein and vegetables. Everyone’s version of healthy is different, so I can’t say all of these recipes will be your healthy, but there should be something delicious here for everyone.
Healthy Recipes for Two
This cheesy Salsa Chicken for Two is the easiest homemade chicken dinner ever. No cutting or measuring needed and made all in one pan!
Quick and Easy Broiled Steak With Mustard Sauce is my go-to dinner for busy weeknights when I’m craving red meat! It’s fast, healthy, and delicious.

So this round up is made for me (and hubby). Sometimes it’s hard cooking for two with all the leftovers, which isn’t always a bad thing…it’s just sometimes you wanna eat a meal and that’s it, ya know? All these looks fabulous, Tracy! I particularly love those beef fajitas!
Tracy says
Exactly! Thanks, Dawn!
