Holiday season when you're short on energy and time is the perfect opportunity to whip up one of these healthy 5 ingredient dinners.
As we head into the holidays the more Mr. Mike and I can have easy, healthy dinners on hand, the less opportunity we have to snack on junk food or hit our favorite Mexican restaurant when holiday obligations take over our schedules.
Eggs are a terrific source of protein and because they take minutes to cook, they work well for five ingredient dinners - not to mention breakfasts, brunches, and lunches.
Poached Eggs on Sweet Potato Nests 
Mexican Baked Eggs in Red Pepper Rings Seafood is another quick cooking protein with shrimp topping the list of favorites in our house. I buy bags of flash frozen shrimp at Costco, so there's always a protein-packed meal minutes away.
Sweet Chili Shrimp with haricots verts (French green beans) 
Shrimp Salad with Zoodles Since we're always being told by the latest nutrition information that we need to eat seafoods with lots of healthy fats, salmon is a must-add to this 5 ingredient dinner roundup.
Salmon with Capers and Feta Cheese Mr. Mike likes his beef and mushrooms, so a few steaks in the freezer gets this meal on the table quickly.
