What are some healthy but filling recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

I am new to this ';healthy'; lifestyle. I try to eat things that will make me full, but fruits do not make me full. I need ideas and/or recipies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that equal to about 1,350 calories all together. What are some healthy but filling recipes or ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?What are some healthy but filling recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
Good for you!!!!!!!! Beginning a new way of healthy eating is NOT easy, I do know this, but the experts have been saying for years that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Fruit is great and most important, but so is fiber, protein and dairy. Remember, by the time your day ends, no matter what you've eatten for your morning fuel,(within reason) it will most likely be burned off by the end of the day. I have come to love this website called Myrecipes.com, because most of the healthy, lighter cooking giants have recipes here. I've listed some of the more popular breakfast recipes here, but I would hope you could browse through some of their other recipes as well, to build your daily menu with your caloric needs. I also, do love the fact that they give you a recipe with all of the calories, fat, saturated fats, cholesterol and such requirements, so you can balance your diet based on your specific needs. Happy Healthy Eating to you and good luck!

    Does anyone have some good healthy recipes?

    Such as smoothies,and just things for someone on a diet :) links or explaining as long as it is the right thing thanks xxDoes anyone have some good healthy recipes?
    The key to losing weight is restricting calories enough so you burn more than you consume, and eating enough that you don't feel hungry or unsatisfied. The best way to do this is to make sure your diet includes plenty of lean protein. Protein helps you feel fuller, longer, so you eat less overall.





    Try eggs for breakfast. Scramble up one whole egg with one or two egg whites. Use non-stick cooking spray rather than butter. You can make it an omelette by adding veggies like spinach, mushrooms or peppers. A piece of fruit and a low fat yogurt make a complete meal, and all for about 250 calories.





    Lunch try bringing your own salads to work or school. Load them up with grilled chicken, reduced sodium ham, or shrimp. Always make sure you use a ';light'; dressing.





    For dinner, your plate should be broken into 4 spaces. 50% of the plate should be vegetables, 25% starch, and 25% lean protein. I'll give you a couple of good dinner recipes that are yummy and low cal. The first would taste great with some brown rice and green beans.





    ***Apricot Glazed Pork Medallions***





    1 pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds


    Salt


    Ground black pepper


    2 teaspoons sesame oil


    1 1/4 cups apricot preserves


    1/4 cup tamari sauce


    1 tablespoon chopped pickled ginger (or use fresh minced)





    Directions


    Season both sides of pork with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear 2 minutes per side. Add apricot preserves, tamari sauce and ginger and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce reduces.





    ***Buffalo Chicken Salad***





    2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves


    2 tablespoons cayenne pepper hot sauce (or other hot sauce), plus more to taste


    2 teaspoons olive oil


    2 hearts Romaine, cut into 1-inch strips (about 8 cups)


    4 celery stalks, thinly sliced


    2 carrots, coarsely grated


    2 scallions, green part only, sliced


    1/2 cup Blue Cheese Dressing, recipe follows


    Directions


    Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound with a mallet or hammer so the chicken is an even thickness of about 3/4-inch, then cut the chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. In a large bowl, combine the hot sauce and the oil, add chicken and toss until the chicken is well coated. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and broil until it is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning once.





    In a large bowl combine the Romaine, celery, shredded carrots and scallions. Toss with the dressing. Divide the greens between 4 plates, top with the chicken. Serve with extra hot sauce.





    Blue Cheese Dressing:


    2 tablespoons mayonnaise


    1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk


    1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt


    1 tablespoon white vinegar


    1/2 teaspoon sugar


    1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese


    Salt and freshly ground pepper





    Fold a full sheet of paper towel into quarters and put it into a small bowl. Spoon the yogurt onto the paper towel and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to drain and thicken. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and thickened yogurt into the mayonnaise until smooth. Add the vinegar and sugar and continue to whisk until all the ingredients are well combined. Stir in the blue cheese and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

    This is an easy Banana Smoothie Recipe Enjoy


    Ingredients:


    1 banana


    1 cup of whole milk


    1 cup yogurt(preferabbly strawberry banana yogurt)


    4 large strawberries








    Blend the banana and strawberries with the milk and yogurt until a smooth cremy texture is formed. For those who would like to add a shot of protein, ginko biloba, or other item, this smoothie is perfect
    celery: wash and cut... blueberrys... wash... you burn more calories to digest them than you ingest. Have a grilled chicken breast on a salad with salsa as a salad dressing instead of high fat and calorie salad dressing. Eat lots of veggies and low fat protein. Seafood, fish, chicken... Avoid carbs... If you want to eat out get salads with dressing on the side and to reduce fat even more skip the cheese.
    I found this!

    Try this.





    Ingredients





    Chicken breasts


    streaky bacon


    feta cheese


    coriander leaves


    paprika


    olive oil





    Method





    Open the chicken breasts as wide as you can and stuff the opening with cubes of feta cheese, torn coriander leaves, sprinkling the mixture with paprika. Close the breast and wrap in streaky bacon, lattice style, securing if necessary with a cocktail stick. Fry quickly in the olive oil for five minutes turning so that both sides are fried. Place in a pre heated oven at 180 deg C and bake for 20 - 30 minutes. Serve with steamed green vegetables (peas, green beans, string beans) and small new potatoes. Delicious, low in calories very, very tasty.

    The key to losing weight is restricting calories enough so you burn more than you consume, and eating enough that you don't feel hungry or unsatisfied. The best way to do this is to make sure your diet includes plenty of lean protein. Protein helps you feel fuller, longer, so you eat less overall.





    Try eggs for breakfast. Scramble up one whole egg with one or two egg whites. Use non-stick cooking spray rather than butter. You can make it an omelette by adding veggies like spinach, mushrooms or peppers. A piece of fruit and a low fat yogurt make a complete meal, and all for about 250 calories.





    Lunch try bringing your own salads to work or school. Load them up with grilled chicken, reduced sodium ham, or shrimp. Always make sure you use a ';light'; dressing.





    For dinner, your plate should be broken into 4 spaces. 50% of the plate should be vegetables, 25% starch, and 25% lean protein. I'll give you a couple of good dinner recipes that are yummy and low cal. The first would taste great with some brown rice and green beans.





    ***Apricot Glazed Pork Medallions***





    1 pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds


    Salt


    Ground black pepper


    2 teaspoons sesame oil


    1 1/4 cups apricot preserves


    1/4 cup tamari sauce


    1 tablespoon chopped pickled ginger (or use fresh minced)





    Directions


    Season both sides of pork with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear 2 minutes per side. Add apricot preserves, tamari sauce and ginger and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce reduces.





    ***Buffalo Chicken Salad***





    2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves


    2 tablespoons cayenne pepper hot sauce (or other hot sauce), plus more to taste


    2 teaspoons olive oil


    2 hearts Romaine, cut into 1-inch strips (about 8 cups)


    4 celery stalks, thinly sliced


    2 carrots, coarsely grated


    2 scallions, green part only, sliced


    1/2 cup Blue Cheese Dressing, recipe follows


    Directions


    Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound with a mallet or hammer so the chicken is an even thickness of about 3/4-inch, then cut the chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. In a large bowl, combine the hot sauce and the oil, add chicken and toss until the chicken is well coated. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and broil until it is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning once.





    In a large bowl combine the Romaine, celery, shredded carrots and scallions. Toss with the dressing. Divide the greens between 4 plates, top with the chicken. Serve with extra hot sauce.





    Blue Cheese Dressing:


    2 tablespoons mayonnaise


    1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk


    1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt


    1 tablespoon white vinegar


    1/2 teaspoon sugar


    1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese


    Salt and freshly ground pepper





    Fold a full sheet of paper towel into quarters and put it into a small bowl. Spoon the yogurt onto the paper towel and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to drain and thicken. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and thickened yogurt into the mayonnaise until smooth. Add the vinegar and sugar and continue to whisk until all the ingredients are well combined. Stir in the blue cheese and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

    This is an easy Banana Smoothie Recipe Enjoy


    Ingredients:


    1 banana


    1 cup of whole milk


    1 cup yogurt(preferabbly strawberry banana yogurt)


    4 large strawberries








    Blend the banana and strawberries with the milk and yogurt until a smooth cremy texture is formed. For those who would like to add a shot of protein, ginko biloba, or other item, this smoothie is perfect
    celery: wash and cut... blueberrys... wash... you burn more calories to digest them than you ingest. Have a grilled chicken breast on a salad with salsa as a salad dressing instead of high fat and calorie salad dressing. Eat lots of veggies and low fat protein. Seafood, fish, chicken... Avoid carbs... If you want to eat out get salads with dressing on the side and to reduce fat even more skip the cheese.

    Porridge - rolled oats + water/milk + a sprinkle of sugar or sweetener


    Porridge is good because you specifically control how much fat and sugar it contains by using either water or milk or by adding cream, sugar, syrup etc. It's also full of low GI carbohydrates.


    Scrambled Eggs - beat two eggs with a little milk in a saucepan until cooked and fluffy, serve on wholegrain toast or with hot tomatoes (canned, crushed is good)


    Toast - Wholegrain toast can actually be a good start to the day with the right toppings - good toppings include feta cheese, hummus, thinly spread peanut butter
    When I want an easy, fast delicious breakfast, I just toast up a whole wheat english muffin and top it with peanut butter, some granola, and berries. This really fills you up so you won't be hungry until lunchtime. Peanut butter has healthy fats, and tastes delicious. Hope I helped :)

    Chicken Piccata


    (it only serves 4 so you might have to double it, I sugest serving it over pasta!)








    Ingredients


    2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, butterflied and then cut in half


    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


    All-purpose flour, for dredging


    6 tablespoons unsalted butter


    5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


    1/3 cup fresh lemon juice


    1/2 cup chicken stock


    1/4 cup brined capers, rinsed


    1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped


    Directions


    Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.





    In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add 2 pieces of chicken and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter and add another 2 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add the other 2 pieces of chicken and brown both sides in same manner. Remove pan from heat and add chicken to the plate.





    Into the pan add the lemon juice, stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning. Return all the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to sauce and whisk vigorously. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.





    OR





    Chicken Marsala


    (One of my favorites, serves 6)





    Ingredients


    1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, each breast cut crosswise into 3 pieces


    Salt and freshly ground black pepper


    2 tablespoons olive oil


    5 tablespoons butter, divided


    3/4 cup chopped onion


    1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced


    2 tablespoons minced garlic


    1 cup dry Marsala wine


    1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese


    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard


    2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves, plus whole sprigs, for garnish


    12 ounces dried fettuccine


    Directions


    Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook just until brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cool slightly.





    While the chicken cools, melt 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onion and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and saute until the mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporate, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir in the mascarpone and mustard. Cut the chicken breasts crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.





    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain. Toss the fettuccine with 3 tablespoons of butter and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Swirl the fettuccine onto serving plates. Spoon the chicken mixture over top. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve.What are some good healthy family recipes that can feed a family of five to six? ingredients and instructions?
    Farfalle


    with Fresh Tomatoes, Wine, Olives and Golden Raisins





    6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided


    1 cup julienned red onion


    1 tablespoon minced garlic





    2 cups peeled, seeded, and diced tomatoes


    3/4 cup sliced olives, such as kalamata


    1/2 cup golden raisins


    1/2 cup dry white wine


    2 tablespoons drained capers


    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste


    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


    3/4 pound farfalle or other dry pasta


    1/4 cup freshly chopped basil leaves


    1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, for garnish


    Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan and cook the onions and garlic until very tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, raisins, white wine, capers, and crushed red pepper flakes and cook until the tomatoes have broken down slightly and the sauce is slightly thickened,7 to 10 minutes. Add kosher salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside to keep warm.


    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until just al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, and place the pasta in a large mixing bowl along with the hot pasta sauce and the basil. Toss to combine, adding pasta cooking water 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time to thin the sauce, if necessary. Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, drizzled with the remaining olive oil and garnished with the feta cheese.


    Yield: 4 to 6 servings
    I would probably grill meat or fish.....use olive oil, garlic, and fresh lemon juice to flavor the meat. Serve this with wild rice seasoned with garlic and parsley and a nice green salad with a fresh vinegarette.





    6 4 oz fillets of salmon (mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 4 cloves minced garlic, a pinch of salt and black pepper and brush this over the salmon.





    Grill the salmon on medium low heat skin side down for 10-15 minutes or until the meat flakes easily. Then squeeze lemon juice over the top of the salmon right before serving.





    Buy wild rice. For 6 people cook 1 1/2 cups rice to 2 cups water. Boil the water first, add in the rice and 6 cloves minced garlic....with 2 tsp salt. Bring it back to a boil and then turn the heat to low. Cover and cook for exactly 20 minutes. Turn the heat off and allow the rice to sit covered and untouched for 10 more minutes. Then add in 2 tbsp fresh cut flat leaf parsley and fluff the rice...stir in the parsley with a fork.





    Make any type of green salad with romaine baby spinach grape or cherry tomatoes, red onion, red and yellow bell peppers, cucumbers mushrooms and anything else you would like.





    Then mix 1/4 cup olive oil with 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Stir in 6 cloves of garlic that have been minced, a pinch of italian oregano....and salt and pepper to taste. Pour this over the greens right before serving.





    Enjoy!

    rice cakes are excellent...they are delicious with peanut butter and honey mmmmm








    salads, obviously





    grilled chicken...stay away from red meats








    actually, my favorite healthy meal is whole wheat bread, slightly toasted, with peanut butter, honey, and bananas...its absolutely delicious!





    cottage cheese and fruits is good tooo...they sell those in snacks-size packages.

    Some recipes do call for the entire contents of the tuna can, like casseroles. Mostly it's drained for appearance. I mean really, who likes a soggy, sloppy tuna fish sandwich or a tuna salad w/ a wedge of tomato and something that looks like a chihuahua choked up-lol. Sorry about the description.
    I'd love to see something for students. I'm a student right now, and really love to cook, and take pride in eating more than just Kraft Dinner and ramen noodles, but have a hard time finding healthy recipes that work with my schedual.
    Anything Vegetarian or Vegan that doesn't include imitation meats (unless they're homemade, but that may be rather complicated). So, things like Eggplant Parmesan (with or without the Parmesan), tofu dishes, etc.
    I'd like to see more ideas with tuna as I don't like it on it's own. I'd like to jazz it up to disguise the taste. I want to eat tuna because it's good for lowering cholesterol.
    I want to see twists on traditional healthy recipe books, and ones that don't take hours to make

    Do you like to cook?also any good healthy recipes you could give me that would be good for someone with liver?

    depends on what the liver problems are. Some liver issues involve too high iron or simple cirrosis. I don't know that there is any need to cook special for liver issues, but possible for the problems associated with liver issues.


    Use less salt, and not so much fat and you should be fine but also go by guidelines as laid out by your uncles doctor.Do you like to cook?also any good healthy recipes you could give me that would be good for someone with liver?
    Are you saying you need a diet for a liver problem? Never heard of such a thing. Maybe go to WEBMD and search there or the Mayo Clinic. I am also sure if you have a medical condition that you were given a diet to follow. Go over it and pick from that.

    Lemon and Ginger Tofu with Beautiful Sauce





    Ingredients (use vegan versions):





    1 pack firm tofu (about 400 grams or 14 ounces)


    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped


    1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated


    2 tablespoon chopped spring onion (shallots)


    1 teaspoon ground coriander


    1 teaspoon cumin powder


    1/2 teaspoon chilli paste, more if you like (sambal oeleck, if not available use chopped fresh red chilli)


    2 tablespoon soy sauce


    3 tablespoon water


    4 tablespoon lemon juice


    freshly grater rind of 1 lemon


    1-2 tablespoon brown sugar


    2 tablespoon vegetable oil


    pinch of salt


    6-8 tablespoon coconut milk


    steamed jasmine rice


    steamed vegetables (I use a frozen mixture of Thai vegetables, with carrots, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, capsicum etc.) )


    coriander leaves to garnish, if you like





    Directions:





    A delicious Thai inspired dish, which looks beautiful on a plate with colorful Thai vegetables. Substituting the lemon juice and rind for lime also works brilliantly and makes it much more Thai.





    1) Cut tofu into slices of the size you desire, I cut it into about 12 rectangular pieces





    2) Mix together garlic, ginger, spring onion (shallots), coriander powder, cumin, chilli paste, soy sauce, water, lemon juice, lemon rind, sugar, 1 tablespoon of the oil and the salt in a dish to make a marinade. Stir it well so all the flavours bond.





    3) Place the tofu in the marinade making sure each piece is well coated, cover and leave in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, 2 or 3 hours would be ideal.





    4) Heat a frying pan up to medium-hot and put the rest of the oil (1 T) in it. Take the tofu out of the dish letting excess marinade drip back into the dish (do not discard the leftover marinade!) and cook tofu in pan for about 5 to 10 minutes, until nicely browned.





    5) When tofu is cooked, put it aside and keep it warm. I keep mine on a plate in the grill on the low setting.





    6) Turn the pan down to low-medium and pour the leftover marinade (chunky bits and all) into it, stir for a minute or two and add the coconut milk, turning the heat down to low as you do so. Bring to the boil or until it reaches the desired consistency for the sauce (I like a thick sauce, but not too thick) and its all ready.





    7) Place the tofu on the steamed rice and pour the sauce over it. Serve the steamed vegetables next to the rice, garnish with coriander leaves and enjoy!





    Serves: 3





    I have to tell you, it was the first time I cooked tofu... and I made it for guests among many other dishes.. this was everyone's favorite... even the kids loved it, if you like less spice, you can control it as well.

    What are some really good Healthy Smoothie Recipes?

    A cup of vanilla yogurt (or any other flavor you want), half a cup of juice (flavor's up to you, be creative), and a cup or so of cut up fruit (give or take a bit), and a cup of ice.





    Then put it all in a blender and mix it up.





    I may have gotten the amounts mixed up a bit, though. Just mess around with that until you get an amount that's good.





    My favorite combination is vanilla yogurt, cut up strawberries, and orange juice. It's sweet, a bit tangy, but also very creamy. It's DELICIOUS.

    Does anyone know of any easy and healthy chicken recipes i can make for dinner tonight?

    I guess you could say I am a begginer cook. I never usually cook. I usually either have my husband do it or I make frozen, or boxed food. I know, unhealthy..





    But I am trying to eat better so I was wondering if anyone knows of an EASY but somewhat healthy chicken dinner I can make for 3 people??





    Please be as specific as possible... as I said, I'm a beginner. Thank you!Does anyone know of any easy and healthy chicken recipes i can make for dinner tonight?
    Have the chicken in pieces and remove the skin.


    butter the sides of a pyrex baking dish.


    cut 5 potatoes into quarters


    cut 4 medium sized carrots into circles


    cut 2 medium sized onions into little pieces


    put everything in the baking dish


    add salt, pepper, ginger, etc. to taste


    add a bit more butter and just a little water


    put into the oven at a medium low heat


    bake for about thirty minutes, checking to see if the chicken and the potatoes are dine.








    serve with a saladDoes anyone know of any easy and healthy chicken recipes i can make for dinner tonight?
    Making chicken in the oven is going to be easiest. You can make Lemon Pepper Chicken.


    Preheat the oven to 350


    Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, don't be stingy with the pepper. Top with a tablespoon or two of melted butter. Squeeze the juice of a lemon on top. Top with some lemon zest. Cover with aluminum foil.Cook for about 45 minutes.





    Another easy chicken recipe I have made is just to season with pepper and seasoned salt, top with a little olive oil, and cover with some sliced green bell peppers. Just cover and cook at 350 for about 45 minutes also. If it is covered, it normally turns out pretty juicy too.
    This is a great chicken dish for a beginner





    Chicken teriyaki





    Ingredients


    3 lb chicken thighs, boned and skinned


    2 inches ginger root


    1/2 cup Tamari


    1/2 cup mirin


    1 tablespoon honey


    1/4 cup sake or gin





    Method


    Bone and skin the chicken thighs, keeping the meat as intact as you can.





    Grind or grate the ginger, place in the center of a towel and wring out the juice.





    Mix the ginger juice, soy, mirin, and sake, and marinate the chicken thighs. You may find it easier to handle by skewering the chicken thighs.





    Drain the marinade, add the honey, and reduce to a syrup by boiling.





    Grill the chicken thighs on medium heat, painting them with the marinade to build up a glaze when they are almost done. Don't turn your back or they may burn as the sugar in the sauce tends to caramelize too quickly.





    Slice and serve. The slices should have a moist shiny glaze so save some of the boiled marinade for a final brushing before serving.
    All of these recipes call for baking in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside.





    Lemmon %26amp; Pepper chicken 鈥?lemon juice, fresh ground pepper, and butter.





    Teriyaki Chicken - just place the chicken in the pan and cover with teriyaki sauce.





    Chicken with tomato and mozzarella - placed chicken in the pan, cover with a can of diced tomatoes, add some garlic if you like, and top with shredded mozzarella. (does not need to be covered while baking)





    Spicy herb chicken - place chicken in the pan and add salt, paprika, oregano, basil, garlic powder, cayenne, and any other spices that sound good!





    Onion and garlic chicken - place chicken in the pan and add sliced onions, fresh garlic, and a few pats of butter.





    Quick raspberry jalapeno chicken - scaled down from my more time consuming recipe, place chicken in the pan, top with some raspberry jelly or preserves, sliced, fresh jalapeno, a little onion powder, brown sugar, and some salt.





    Other fruity chickens - if you have cans of fruit that you're not sure what to do with, fresh fruit that needs to be used up before it goes bad, or fruit juice, put it in there with the chicken! You can add onions, peppers, and/or molasses, for a nice twist.
    Baked chicken - sprinkle chicken quarters with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked and/or sweet paprika, - bake 350 for 40-1 hr depending on how much chicken it is. I take the skin off of my peice after I cook it. Simple and yummy. You can also put exactly the same seasoning, plus some chopped garlic and chopped FRESH rosemary on some quartered little red potatoes and cook it with the chicken.
    I always cook my chicken in the oven. I buy chicken breast, sprinkle chili powder all over them. I put the oven on 400 let in cook about 2530 mintues just enough to let them cook all the way thru as you dont want it to be to dry. While thats in the oven i boil about 25 jumbo shrimp not previously cooked in seafood boil then all you need is a vegtable and voila youve got a meal!
    Chicken Provolone, grilled chicken, spinach, bacon, tomato and pasta. It is simple to make and tastes great served over pasta.

    2 tbsp capers


    lemon slices for garnish (optional)


    Preparation:


    Serves 4.





    In a large frying pan with a heavy bottom, fry fish in approximately 1/4-inch olive oil, browning on both sides.





    While the fish is frying, make the lemon sauce. Grate the lemon rind onto a plate. Juice the lemon. Set both aside.





    Peel and crush garlic in a mortar and pestle and add the lemon rind, salt and pepper and mix, making a paste. Add lemon juice and stir.





    Pour the lemon sauce and wine into the frying pan with the fish. Turn down fish and allow to simmer on low until the sauce is reduced a bit.





    Add capers to the pan and stir. Turn off heat. Remove fish from pan and place on plates. Spoon sauce over the fish and serve with rice or fried potatoes.

    Here's a recipe that I use when I make baked sweet potatoes because I can't stand to eat them plain. All I use is a little low-sodium soy sauch and a little brown sugar
