15-Minute Recipes That Are Good for Your Skin

Whenever we thumb through recipes in a cookbook or magazine, we tend to run through the same mental routine, which looks something like this:

Will chowing down on this little number provide immense joy? Likely.
Is it worth the breakout that'll most definitely result from indulging? Hmmm.
Will it take all night to prepare, only to be consumed in less than six minutes of our favorite television programming? Quick, go get the stack of takeout menus and call "Hurry Curry."

See how to whip up three easy healthy skin recipes now.

Unfortunately, since we aren't preparing that seemingly healthy veggie stir-fry dish or any other "convenient" meal, we have no idea what's going into our bodies. That means we're most likely consuming loads of salt, sugars, and fats without even knowing. These ingredients, among others, cause all sorts of problems -- from wrinkles and bloating to cellulite and zits.

Truthfully, you'll be hard-pressed to find foods that are good for the skin and the waistline that come with a fortune cookie. But there is good news: We've been on the hunt for the most delicious recipes (seriously, they are "wow"-worthy) that are super easy to make, take little to no time to prepare, and are good for your skin and health. We found these gems in Anna Getty's "Easy Green Organic," and vetted them with Andrea N. Giancoli, MPH, RD, and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. This way you no longer have any excuses not to eat delicious, fast, and healthy food for your skin.

Everything looks super delicious! Especially the halibut! I love fish, so this would be a great recipe.

I really like the Cumin Deviled Eggs recipe and the Dark Chocolate covered items sound terrific! I'm not entirely sure about the chocolate covered olives though! I really don't like fish so I do rely on a high grade omega 3 supplement with as much DHA as EPA.
