I need healthy recipes?

I'm looking for some cheap, easy, fast recipes that I can make.


I'm trying to eat healthier.


I can cook pretty good, but when it comes to health food I'm clueless! I'm trying to eat healthier for many reasons, but the main reason is because I want my body to be healthier.


Thank you!


I love chicken. I'm not big on red meat (which I know is actually healthy) I love salads!I need healthy recipes?

Here are some ideas for some healthy foods:





1. Marinate boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs in low fat Italian dressing overnight to create a flavorful, moist chicken you can grill or broil.


2. Saute zuchinni, yellow squash, bell pepper, onion and mushrooms in a little olive oil and season with fresh chopped basil and oregano or thyme. Season to taste with kosher salt and fresh ground lemon pepper.


3. Watch out for the calorie count in lean ground turkey versus lean ground beef. You'd be surprised at how much more fat there is in the turkey!


4. Consider meatless meals once or twice a week. There are some great vege substitutes, such as Morning Star or Boca prime burgers. I love the sausage substitutes, tomato basil burgers, etc.


5. Barilla makes whole grain pastas that are filled with nutrition. Add olive oil, chopped fresh tomatos, artichoke hearts and shaved parmesan.


6. Organic brown rice is a good base for all sorts of delights. Think stir-fry! In a large saute pan, heat 1 T olive oil and add chopped fresh veges, bean sprouts, soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, etc. to flavor. Serve over rice.


7. Eat whole grains for breakfast! Add a serving of orange juice, a type of lowfat protein.


8. Drink lots of water!


9. Make sure you are getting alot of fresh fruits during the day, at least 3, and fresh veges.
If there is just you ,you do not need to cook you know what is unhealthy and it is easier if you only buy for your self. fruits and vegetables no prepared food I melt cheese on a corn tortilla(corn good ,flour bad) cheese is tasty nuts and a piece of fruit for lunch steamed veggies with cheese sprinkled on top. Shop on the otter aisles of the market, fruit%26amp;veggies Meat and dairy Plain yogurt is good and flavored yogurt is loaded with sugar 100% whole wheat bread If you are going to eat bread make it healthy or it is a waste of time
Avoid White Death;-{ AKA sugar, starch, salt.


Get whole grains instead: Pasta, Bread, Cereal, brown rice.


Buy from the Bulk Food Store %26amp; no-name instead.


Shop on the outer aisles of the supermarket only.


Minimize red meat, choose poultry %26amp; fish more.


Eat lots of fruit %26amp; vegetables or all colour-groups.
