Anyone have any quick and easy recipes to share?
Even better if they are meals that are healthy and inexpensive to make, and if the leftovers can be frozen...lol is it too much to ask?
Thanks!

Spanish Rice
The instructions for preparing the rice for this recipe are for the microwave, but pre-cooked rice can be substituted, or cook rice according to package directions on the stove top.
1 lb. ground beef
1 28 oz. can tomato sauce or Tomato Juice
1 - 1 1/2 cups water
1 onion, chopped
1/2 green or red pepper, finely diced
Black pepper to taste
2 Tbl Paprika
1 large can sliced black olives
1 cup Jasmine rice
1 3/4 cups water
1 tsp salt
1-2 Tbl Butter
Brown ground beef with onion.
Season with ground black pepper
Add tomato sauce or juice, water, green or red pepper, black olives, Paprika and black pepper.
Simmer for about 20 - 30 minutes.
In a 2 quart microwave dish, combine 1 3/4 cups water, Jasmine rice, butter and salt.
Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 50 % and microwave for 15 minutes more.
Fluff with fork and add to sauce. You may choose not to add all the rice depending on the consistency of the dish.
Turn off heat and let stand a few minutes before serving.
This can be prepared early and reheated to serve later. It is excellent the next day. - Sauce can be prepared ahead. The finished dish should be slightly saucy, so don't add all the rice at one time.

Chicken - boneless chicken, marinade in Italian dressing. Dip in instant potato flakes and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. The chicken will come out very juicy. Make a salad and cook instant potatoes and voila, you have a meal!

I just fixed this yesterday - it is so easy.
Pulled Pork
Place a pork loin in crock pot - don't add anything. Cook on low about 5 hours or so.
Remove to a cutting board and let sit a few minutes.
Then shred it with your fingers (this way you can remove all the fat) - it doesn't take long.
Transfer to a pot and add your favorite bottled bar-b-que sauce (as much or little as you like) and heat.
Serve in buns. Pickles are good with this.

First question, do you have a crock pot? If so, you can do just so many things healthy in that. Add chicken, celery, tomato (canned, diced) cabbage, carrots, any kind of been for fiber and top with water and use a couple of chicken bouillon cubes, let it simmer on med most of the day, and then prepare some really good rice and top it with your concoction! Have fun!
