3 Healthy Fish Dinners from Family Circle

Familiy Circle Healthy Family Dinners © 2011 by Family Circle

When you're pressed for time to whip up a weeknight meal, nutrition considerations frequently fall by the wayside. That's not the case with the recipes in Family Circle Healthy Family Dinners (Wiley, 2011), a comprehensive volume of more than 200 suppers, every one of which clocks in under 500 calories per serving. Using ingredients anyone can find in the local supermarket, this full-color cookbook covers all the bases, from pasta and poultry to salads and slow cooker meals, with a helpful little chapter on light desserts to round it all out.

We were especially impressed by Healthy Family Dinners’ fish section, where a variety of underwater dwellers receive easy, flavorful preparations. Family Circle was kind enough to share three of their kid-friendliest fish dishes with Grandparents.com. Try them with your own grandchildren, and don’t be surprised if they demand to see another serving of seafood on their plates.
