There's no reason that a healthy homemade meal can't also be quick and easy. Here are 17 recipes for meals that might normally have you slaving away over a hot stove, but can actually be made in minutes with the help of your good ol' microwave.

1. Spinach ricotta lasagna

2. Quick quiche

Quiche In A Mug Ingredients: 1 large egg 1 1/2 tablespoons whole milk (substitutes: half and half or heavy cream) 1 teaspoon melted unsalted butter Pinch of salt Pinch of freshly ground black pepper 4 small grape tomatoes, halved 1/8 cup torn pieces of fresh bread 1 tablespoon grated cheese (e.g., cheddar cheese, mozzarella, etc.) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, plus more for garnish (e.g., green onions, Italian parsley, chives, etc.) Directions: In a microwavable mug, add egg, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper and whisk until thoroughly mixed and egg whites are completely broken up. Add halved grape tomatoes, torn bread, grated cheese, and chopped herbs on top of egg mixture, making sure ingredients are evenly dispersed and have not settled to bottom of mug. Ingredients will stay settled within the quiche mixture better if you do not whisk ingredients into egg mixture. Place mug in microwave, and cook on high for 1 minute, just until egg is completely cooked and quiche is slightly puffed. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

3. Enchiladas

I was so excited for this dinner tonight ? Spicy andouille chicken enchiladas with kale, garlic, and cilantro avocado sauce. You guysss. This sauce. So so AMAZING. You gotta try ? All the credit goes to @rachaelsgoodeats! ? For the enchiladas, I sautéed kale and garlic in avocado oil, then added @bilinskisausage spicy andouille chicken sausage + @fronteragrill green enchilada sauce and cooked for 3 mins. Next, I stuffed the mixture into @julianbakery wraps (great tortilla substitute), and drizzled them with more green enchilada sauce and @traderjoeslist light Mexican cheese. Baked for 15 mins at 350* then sprinkled with fresh cilantro and green onions?? aaaaand a big blob of sauce (I added a bit of Greek yogurt to mine to make it extra creamy) ?TGI(a)F, friends! ❤️?

13. Deep dish pizza

PIZZA IN A MUG? INGREDIENTS: 4 tablespoons all purpose flour ⅛ teaspoon baking powder 1/16 teaspoon baking soda ⅛ teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon marinara sauce 1 generous tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese 5 mini pepperoni ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil or oregano will work) INSTRUCTIONS: Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a microwavable mug Add in the milk and oil with whisk together. There might be some lump but that is ok Spoon on the marinara sauce and spread it around the surface of the batter Sprinkle on the cheese, pepperoni and dried herbs Microwave for 1 minute 10-20 seconds, or until it rises up and the topping are bubbling (timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary) Enjoy straight away! NOTES: Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug. The mugs I use are small, roughly 6oz (¾ /1 cup) Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn't over flow or over cook.
