Chicken soup with real chicken and your own veggies
Spanish foods are pretty healthy, the hard part is making the ';chismol'; As follows:
Diced tomatoes ( 1 tomatoe)
Thinly sliced then diced onion (a quarter onion)
Chopped green pepper (half of 1)
Cilantro, a hand full w/o the stems thinly chopped (approx 1/8 of the bunch)
Mixed in bowl add a pinch of salt and pepper and half a lemon.
Add more salt pepper lemon to taste
Do something like boiling the chicken or grilling the chicken
Make rice
Buy El Paso or whatever taco dip and guacamole
SALMON FILLETS OR STEAKS::- BAKED
Salmon fillets, any portion size, boned and skinned
Onion powder, to taste be generous
Garlic powder, to taste be generous
Dried dill, to taste be generous
Mrs. Dash, to taste be generous
Mayonnaise
Paprika
Wash and dry fillets. Spread thin coat of mayonnaise over salmon. Spray Pam or similar product over Pyrex or tin foil pan or rectangular pan (depending on amount and size of portions).
Sprinkle seasonings over fish ending with paprika. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
I like to make fish tacos (especially good and light for the summer months)
start with a steaky white fish (mahi mahi is my fav) 1-2lbs
put it in a skillet and drizzle a tsp of olive oil, squeeze half a lime over and sprinkle salt pepper and whatever other spices you like on the fish (i use garlic powder) then cook until fish is falling apart and is cooked thoroughly. 10-15 minutes tops.
get some tortillas (wheat is healtier) and some cole slaw mix (just pick up a cole slaw kit at the store... or you can also use baby spinach) and some white cheese and either green or red salsa.... also avocados if you like them.
dish up some fish into the tortillas and fill with whatever toppings you like. they are delicious, i promise... i even got my picky little brother to eat them... cabbage and all.

4. In a rush? Smithfield, Hormel, Armour, Tyson have packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload. Use this for your meat dish with a side dish or two of vegetables, rice, or potatoes. You will find these packages near the meat section, they are not frozen. Ask a clerk for help.
.
5. Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S%26amp;W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing, microwave chicken/turkey gravy in jars, a canned vegetable, canned cranberry sauce, and frozen Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Perfect for one or two people at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
.
6. Another thing you can do is cook in a slow cooker or a crock-pot. You put the meat into the crock-pot in the morning and it cooks all day long. The meal is ready at dinner time. Crock-pots can be bought at your grocery store, WalMart, Target, etc. BE SURE to read the booklet that comes with the crock-pot.
Here are some crock-pot recipes for you:

7. If you are in a hurry, go to your grocery store and pick up a roasted chicken that you can buy in the deli section. They also have side dishes such as veggies, salads, desserts, and etc.
.
8. Frozen dinners are always a good choice. Our favorites are Stouffer's, Marie Calendar's, Michael Angelo's, Boston Market's. Just add a side dish, salad, or fruit salad. Desserts can be bought in the bakery section of your grocery store.
