Help with healthy easy recipes, please?

I'm really needing to lose weight and I've been trying, but I'm having a hard time coming up with some different easy healthy recipes...(i know lots of adjectives)





I go to the store and buy healthy veggies and meats, but have no idea how to put them together. I just started learning how to cook, so I can't quite figure out some yummy, healthy recipes other than veggie stir fry with chicken breast, and that is getting quite old.





So my question is, can someone give me some good healthy recipes and possibly a good healthy grocery list? We're going grocery shopping next Monday and I need to get some good things written down. Any kind of help and I would be very thankful. Include links if you like, thanks!Help with healthy easy recipes, please?

Good luck.Help with healthy easy recipes, please?
Buy a good cookbook- there are several good cooks from the food network about cooking light/ or healty cooking- brain went blank on names.


Roast beef with roasted veggies is good if your meat is lean


sauted chicken breasts in chicken broth, with veggies and rice noodles is good. Look on line recipezaar has good recipes as well-


I understand how you feel I have several food allergies so I end up eating the same meals a lot because they are safe
you might be able to get some good recipes from this site - http://www.dummychef.com

my easy and healthy quesadilla


1tablespoon canola oil


1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)


8 ounces white button mushrooms, (about 3 cups)


3 cloves garlic, minced


2 cups cooked chopped skinless, boneless chicken breast (1 breast half)


1 teaspoon ground cumin


1 teaspoon chili powder


1 teaspoon dried oregano


2 cups baby spinach leaves, sliced into ribbons


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper


4 (10-inch) whole-grain flour tortillas


1 cup shredded fat freecheese mix or Cheddar


1/2 cup salsa


1/4 cup fat free sour cream





Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until the mushroom water is evaporated and they begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add chicken, cumin, chili powder and oregano and stir until all spices are incorporated. Add spinach, salt and pepper and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.


Lay 1 tortilla on a flat work surface and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Spoon 1/2 chicken and vegetable mixture on top of cheese, then top with an additional 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another flour tortilla. Heat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Carefully place 1 quesadilla in pan and cook 3 minutes. Using a large spatula, gently flip quesadilla and cook an additional 3 minutes until lightly browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with second quesadilla. Slice each quesadilla into quarters. Place 2 quarters on a plate with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 2 tablespoons salsa.

turkey Chili is a great recipe! it's Healthy, low in fat and high in fiber and protein. There are tons of recipes out there. Check out


www.foodnetwork.com.


I like adding 4 diff types of beans to any recipe to get a variety of beans!





Another good idea is Turkey Taco night. Use corn tortillas. brown ground turkey meat with a package of taco seasoning. Then serve with fat free shredded cheese, fat free sour cream and tons of veggies... tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, lettuce, onions...





I also like to marinate chicken breasts in a mixture of Yoshida's gormet Sauce and pinapple juice. Marinate at least 2 hours. Grill. On the side I put a mixture of veggies in tin foil with some olive oil and seasonings. My favorite is baby carrots, fresh green beans, broccoli heads, zuchini and yellow squash. Use montreal steak seasoning on them. Wrap in foil. Poke a few small holes on top and gril 5 mins on each side till fork tender.





Also, any fish is very healthy. Look up some Samon or Halibut recipes on foodnetwork.com or google.





good luck!



Weeks worth of SBD food with minimal cooking








All Phases


On Sunday or whenever you have a day off :





- Make a tomato sauce out of 8lbs of tomatoes ,8 cups of stock, 2 bay leaves, 3 cloves garlic, 1 large onion, 2 of the thin red chilies (arbol)





Half the tomatoes (no need to peel), chop onion roughly, peel garlic, throw all veggies into a pot (if you have it cast iron is ideal as it increases the iron content of the tomato sauce) with the 8 cups of stock.(All the veggies should be covered. If not add more stock. Cook for 20 mins not forgetting to stir . Blend in batches in a blender and transfer to two new casseroles or saucepans.





Saucepan 1 : Southwestern salsa . Add allspice, 2 whole cloves, tabasco sauce, 1 tsp cumin, 2 or 3 chile ancho (the dried one which you need to rehydrate first). Because of the chili you will need to blend the whole lot again. Cook all for another 30 mins or until thickened, let cool put in fridge .





Saucepan 2 : Salsa Italiana : To this mix add 1 glass red wine , fresh basil leaves ,a tiny bit of splenda in case your toms are very acidic As above cook for 30 mins or until thickened . Cool, refrigerate . Can put 2 portions of salsa in the freezer at this point for use later.





Dishes you can make with this during the week :





Huevos rancheros : Egg(s) on ww tortilla bathed in SW salsa with someblack beans thrown across ,a tbsps sour cream on top if liked and a side of green beans. For Phase 1 you could sit the egg on a bed of fake mash. (fake mash is mashed up cooked cauliflower)





Chili con carne: browned ground beef or turkey with black beans, green peppers and a serving of SW salsa, side of vegetable or dumped on a salad





Beef tips in SW sauce.: Lean thin cut of meat, cut into strips fried up, add some hot water (1/2 cup) and a cup of salsa. Let cook for 30 mins adding more water if necessary.





Stuffed poblano peppers : This is only easy if you can buy them ready made. Bathe cheese stuffed peppers with SW salsa, add a dollop of nf sour cream and serve with a side of rice .





SW WRAP : Coat cooked chicken strips with some SW Salsa , add stirfried pepper strips, nf sour cream, lettuce, black beans and transfer mix into a ww wrap. Layer on fake mash for Phase 1.





Italian Chicken: Broil a chicken breast seasoned with salt and oregano: When done, bathe in Salsa Italiana, cover with a slice of cheese and put back under broiler until cheese melts: Serve with green salad or broccoli or rice in phase 2





Hungarian porkloin : Cook pork loin seasoned with salt and paprika under broiler. Make a sauce with a cup of Italian salsa, 1 tbsp of sweet paprika and 1 tbsp sour cream. Pour over pork loin. Serve with rice and veggies.





Pasta bolognese Boil some pasta and brown some ground beef or turkey and add some of the Italian sauce and some water (1/2 cup). Cook for 20 mins adding water if necessary. Boil some green beans. Serve over pastagrean bean mix with grated parmesan.





Eggs Italiano : Egg sunny side up bathed in Italian sauce and melted mozzarella on ww toast.





Stuffed peppers : Stuff green peppers with a beef mix ( beef onion,pepper salt some parmesan if liked) Sit the peppers in a saucepan and cook until the peppers are done but not soft. Remove from pan, add Salsa italiana and bring to boil until the sauce has thickened. Pour over the peppers. Sprinkle on parmesan.





Tomato soup : One cup of Italian salsa, some water, some mozarella cubes: heat the salsa and water, add a tbsps of sour cream, stir in the mozzarella cubes, serve immmediately with ww toast on the side or add a portion of cooked brown rice .





All the above recipes should not take more than 20 -30 mins to prepare.
