I love steaming asparagus and and cooling it. Then I spread a thin layer of fat free herb cream cheese on a piece of reduced fat turkey breast and wrap it around the asparagus. These make super yummy snacks or a few of them can be a tasty lunch. I love oatmeal for breakfast, but I mix it with unsweetened applesauce and dried fruit and nuts to make it extra delicious. I also like to lightly saute spinach in olive oil cooking spray then fry an egg in it. I sprinkle it with garlic powder, balsamic vinegar and fresh tomatoes. A quick healthy dinner that I love is tossing cooked whole grain penne with fresh spinach, tomatoes, cooked chicken, olive oil, herbs, and a little parmesan cheese. I also love to stuff portobello mushrooms with whatever I have around the house that's yummy then bake them. I generally saute onions, garlic, and herbs in olive oil cooking spray then toss them with cooked cous cous or rice and a little skim mozzarella then stuff the mushrooms. I sprinkle them with balsamic vinegar and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or so.Easy healthy yummy recipes?

for breakfast once i made this sausage-onion-bread-egg fry up..its pretty cool cause im just 14..
basically i sliced sausages,diced onions,and cracked an egg.then i mixed it all up.then i took 1 slice of bread,dipped it in the mixture,then fry the bread(with the mixture on top) on both sides.then i cleaned the oil and ate it with some chili sauce.super yummy,super fast!!
i made a kaya-puff once!kaya is a sweet,custard like asian jam,made from brown sugar,eggs and coconut milk.it has only 31 cal per tablespoon(my fav part!)so i placed 1 tbspn on 1 slice of bread,closed it(like,into a triangle shape) then placed it in the sandwich maker.when its nice and done,the kaya is warm and melted,the bread is crunchy and crispy.yum yum!
my lunch is usually made by my maid,so cant really share any recipes there.
my dinner varies,sometimes its cup noodles(curry or tom yum flavour) or chicken tortillas!
I have many, but can not give you all of them, it would be a lloonngg answer. Grilled chicken breast with a light drizzle of lemon juice(fresh), and some grilled red potatoes with a dash of salt. This could be for lunch and dinner.
