sorry, no idea
Soup is easy and healthy...yummy I suppose is up to you and what you put in it.
You just toss some broth in a pan, add some veggies, bring to a boil, then toss in some shells or rotini, or whatever.
You can also add can or pouch chicken, or hillshire farm beef sausage, or little smokies or whatever.
You can make your fav hamburger foods healthier by using ground turkey instead...cheaper too. Ground turkey makes excellent taco meat, shepherd's pie, and spaghetti sauce.
Chips and salsa is pretty healthy...baked chips.
Pizzas can be made very healthy.
When you make mashed potatos, smash in some other veggies as well...cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, etc...add flavor and vitamins. This is actually very sneaky for parents with younger children too...you can also add a veggie puree to spaghetti sauce.
Here are suggestions
1. Include Foods From All Food Groups(unless vegetarian)
2. Carbohydrate Should be Slow-Release and Low in Glycemic Value
3. Fat-intake Should be Predominantly Non-Saturated
4. Eat Enough Omega-3 Fats
5. Eat More High-Fiber Foods
6. Beware Hidden Fats and Sugars (and Sodium)
7. Choose Healthy Snacks
Okay, you may not be able to eat these healthy foods all the time, but include them in your diet as often as possible!\
Try excercising them more often. that would be more helpful.
If you go out eat, try to reduce how many times you go out to. Home food is much better, healthier and less fattier than resteraunt food.
ok you chop up 2 apples into tiny cubes, invest in a vadalia chopper you can get at target, or somewhere look it up online, adn in 1 can kidney beans, um 1 cucumber, add italian dressing to how much you faveor, and mix together its ooooosooo good!
FRUIT SALAD!!
also try something fun to do with vegies...
no frying!!
toss together: fresh spinach, feta or goat cheese, dried cranberries, candied pecans, and raspberry vinegarette. SO delicious!! also, most fish are healthy and mild, and would broaden a teen's culinary horizons. grouper is fantastic.
i dont know about healthy or minimal cooking but there is a great book i like to use, called,
';Teens Cook: how to cook what you want to eat'; by Megan %26amp; Jill Carle with Judi Carle.
I like it it has alot of good recipes.
