But before you give in to becoming a regular at the Chinese takeout next door, there are healthy recipes you can make that will be quicker than checking your social media notifications.

Here are three of them:

Veggie fried rice You’d think that fried rice is only for those with spare time. If you have leftover brown rice, toss them in the pan with peas, eggs, and corn. Add a pinch of salt, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to taste. Stir-fry for about five minutes, and you get a healthy dinner in no time.

Oven-baked tostadas Take some tortillas and heat them until golden and crispy. Top them with refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, and avocado. This can actually be a fun recipe as you try and see what combinations you can create.
