They say that one of them may be the loneliest number, but the two numbers can also be misleading, at least when it comes to making dinner.
Whether you want to like them, share it with a partner, or catch up with your friends, dining at deux can mean a lot of leftovers and a boredom of food. To save the day, these recipes are perfectly divided into two meals. Read more: What Dose a Healthy Snack Look Like?
Healthy dinner for two with veal
1. Fried beef with pineapple
French fries are a staple, but it's easy to fall into a rut with them. Mix things up with this recipe, which calls for beef tenderloin marinades in a sweet and tangy soy sauce.
Let that cheer you up while you're at work, then go home and cook the meat with some veggies. Top brown rice for a simple but delicious dinner.
2. Waves and grass
Sure, you can head to an expensive restaurant for a seafood and steak combo, but you can make a great one at home, too.
This recipe combines silky scallops with juicy fish fillet, although you can definitely check the sales flyer and choose fewer cuts if it's not a special occasion.
For such a luxurious dinner, you will be amazed at how quickly it comes together. It is perfect for a date night or just to celebrate life.
3. Shepherd Pie Guinness
Mashed potatoes, ground beef, and veggies cooked with a Guinness beer? This is comfort food at its finest, and all in one elegant cake.
Fortunately, with this dish, comfort food doesn't have to be a calorie bomb. Use lean ground beef and drink cheese to cut calories. Feel free to strain out some extra veggies, if you'd like.
4. Homemade Salisbury Steak
If Salisbury steak makes you think of poor elementary school lunches, now is the time to do it. Bonus: they are baked in the oven on the same plate as the potatoes, so you can have a full dinner ready in just half an hour.
Replace red potatoes with sweet potatoes to boost vitamin A, and toss in sliced carrots for more fiber.
Ideas for a healthy dinner for two with chicken

7. Easy 20 minute chicken and broccoli
This very simple dinner comes together in just minutes with eight ingredients that you probably already have in stock. Whether you use fresh or frozen broccoli, you'll get a dose of vitamin C and fiber.
If you have a vegan to serve (or yourself), this will also taste great with tofu instead of chicken, as the tofu will soak up all the unpleasant flavors.
8. Chicken, hot dog, giant shrimp
Get Mardi Gras (and the Forrest Gump print) with the menacing triple gumbo set, no grain needed. The key to this dish is the pre-toasted flour, which gives it a subtle bronze color.
This is a great soup you can make on the weekends as it will cook on the stove for hours, but it only needs your attention for a few minutes at a time.
It's also a great way to introduce okra, a southern staple, into your dinner repertoire. Serve with brown rice instead of white for the benefits of whole grains.
9. Paleo pot cake

Soak in, and tender chicken chunks and tender carrot, celery, and onion chunks will greet you.
10. Chicken balti and spinach
You need a lot of this recipe, but you don't need a lot of time, it's ready in less than 30 minutes.

Healthy dinner recipes for two with turkey
11. Tuscan turkey dinner with roasted red potatoes
You don't have to wait for Thanksgiving to enjoy your turkey, although if you're on a relaxing vacation with us, this would be a great recipe to use. Instead of dealing with a full-blown bird, you'll be making a turkey in a slow cooker.
