My favorite website for recipe ideas is www.allrecipes.com. You can put in ingredients that you have or want and it will search recipes with those ingredients. Plus, I really like reading the reviews. Many reviewers will use healthier alternatives to many of the recipes and offer good advice. Good luck.
if you want to eat healthier. breakfast is where you should start.
as it can effect greatly the way you eat thru out the day. and so its worth looking into
some suggestions;
home made fruit%26amp;protein bars
';that way you can control the amount of fat and sugar in them';
breakfast shakes and smoothies
they don't take allot of time to prepare plus they have all the nutrients you need to fuel your body thru out the day.
try a honey ginger and green tea smoothie.
blending the tea leafs into it for maximum detox effect.
if you like spicy foods you might like these.
-shredded cabbage and carrots stir fried in some soy sauce and chili powder.
-steamed salmon served with spicy sauce ';see below for recipe';
-1/2 cup of tomato paste
-1 tablespoon grated ginger
-2 cloves of garlicc crushed
-1/3 tablespoon of sea salt.
-1 teaspoon crushed pepper.
another good suggestion is;
peas lentil or squash soup with some mild curry powder.
good for a snack or sandwiches.
take a dozen slices of bacon and steam them instead of frying
put them in a tight lid container in the fridge.
and just take them out like cold cuts when you want to.
and if you don't have a problem with wheat.
try malt milk whenever you get hungry between meals.
to keep full
VEGETABLES MACEDOINE :
A bag of frozen peas (or fresh peas)
1/2 a bag of baby carrots (fresh)
2-3 white potatoes (fresh)
2 onions
1 pack of salted pork (diced, without the white fat)
Butter
In a pot, put the butter, the sliced onions and the diced pork.
Add the frozen peas and bay leaves. About 10 minutes after, the diced potatoes,
and 5 minutes after the carots.
Cook until the vegetable are cook the way you like
LEEKS GRATIN :
For 6 leeks :
Clean and boil the leeks for about 8 minutes.
On the side, make a sauce like this : 30 grams of flour
30 grams of butter
salt %26amp; pepper
a touch of nutmeg
1/2 liter of whole milk
In a pot, melt the butter, add the flour and when golden a little,
add the milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
With a wisk, mix it all. Then use a wooden spoon until the sauce is thick.
It takes a little while, but don't stop stiring.
Put a little of the sauce in the an long oven dish to cover the bottom,
then lay the leeks and
pour the rest of the sauce all over.
Add the shredded gruy猫re on top (trust me, this cheese is the best
if you need melted cheese, and you can find it in every supermarkets),
put in the oven until
the cheese is golden, checking on the leeks, they can't be too cooked.
You can do the same gratin with :
-Big macaroni (again boil the pasta first, just that when keeping
on cooking in the oven they won't be over cooked, put in oven dish, pour sauce,
gruy猫re on top, oven at 380掳)
- cauliflower

Some quick easy inexpensive things I keep in rotation and always have the ingredients on hand for are
Marzetti or Goulash
2 lb ground chuck
2 jars spaghetti sauce (or make your own)
1 green pepper chopped
1 onion chopped
garlic ( I use fresh and to my taste, you can use granulated if that is all you have)
Elbow macaroni 1 lb box cooked and drained
(on occasion I also use 1 package of smoked sausage)
Brown the ground chuck, drain fat, add chopped green pepper, onion and garlic. Add in spaghetti sauce after veggies are tender. Lastly add macaroni. Mix all together and simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve with green salad and bread. Simple, filling, and delish. Like I said, I occasionally add smoked sausage. I fry it first then add it in with the veggies. Add salt and pepper to taste but I never need it.
Meatloaf- I make this as well as it is quick and it tastes great.
2 lb ground chuck
1 15 oz can Manwich BOLD
1 green pepper
1 onion
about 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or plain with seasoning you like added)
1 egg
garlic powder
pepper
about 1 tbsp bbq sauce
about 1 tbsp steak sauce
Mix all ingredients except 1/4 of the can of Manwich, bbq sauce and steak sauce. Form into a loaf and bake @ 350 for an hour. With the remaining Manwich sauce, bbq and steak sauce, mix them all together then pour over the meatloaf and bake 15 minutes longer.
This is so simple but everyone that has it loves it! My sister frequently asks me to make this.
Another one
Swiss baked chicken
4-6 chicken breasts
1-2 cans cream of mushroom or any cream soup you like or a mix of two different
swiss cheese
crushed crackers, bread crumbs or french fried onions (French's) or some other crusty topping
Brown chicken breast on each side on stovetop. Transfer to a 13X9 baking dish. Mix your soup up and pour over chicken breast. Top each breast with a slice of swiss, then sprinkle your crackers over and bake until chicken is done, cheese is melty and crackers are golden. Simple but is delicious and quick.
Fake French Toast
2 eggs
1 TBS water
1 pkt Splenda
dash of cinnimon
Beat the eggs (by hand is fine) in a small bowl. Add the rest and beat some more. Spray a small fry pan with your favorite spray. Heat on medium high until a drop of water would sizzle. Pour eggs into pan and cover. Cook until set. (Covering the pan makes this light and fluffy.)
Serve immediately with a little no sugar syrup ...

cabbage soup. I use short ribs meat, onion, garlic, celery, potato and of course the cabbage, and let it simmer. Add beef stock or bouillon cubes for taste.
sure I can! eat fresh, nothing from boxes or cans. I would suggest to add to your diet extra virgin olive oil olive.
Steak with steamed veggies
