Mykl asked in Food & DrinkCooking & Recipes · 1 decade ago

Does anybody have any quick, easy, healthy and tasty recipes conducive to weight loss and healthy living?

I grew up cooking like a classic midwesterner and most of the recipes I know are fattening. At almost 40 now, it is catching up with me and I need advice on recipes, food ideas and/or some websites that you have tried/tested some recipes. I like all kinds of foods, just don't know how to make the healthy ones. I usually cook for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children so kid friendly is a bonus!). I also would like to be able to pass down more healthy cooking/eating habits to my children so that none of us ends up like my grand parents and aunts & uncles (VERY obese). We have already dramatically cut back on the sodas and junk food, only have it on rare special occasions and don't keep that stuff in the house. Thank you for your help!

    Try veggie pizza! It's easy and tasty. You'll need; -mozzarella cheese -assorted veggies of your choice -pizza crust -pizza sauce -faux soy pepperoni (optional) -black beans (optional) You just cut up the veggies and saute them in a pan. Then you take your pizza crust, put the sauce, then the cheese, then the veggies. Then you can put the pizza in the oven or toaster oven and the cheese melts and the dough its cooked I also really like stir-fried rice and veggies. I usually use carrots, snap peas, squash, onions, and mushrooms. You just stir-fry veggies in a pot and add some cooked jasmine rice. Add some soy sauce and sesame seed oil and you're done!

    Fajita Style One-Dish Chicken Dinner

    I made this one up one night while digging through the refrigerator for dinner. Everyone I've ever made it for just raves about it! One of my alltime favorite dishes.

    1 package fajita seasoning mix

    2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

    1 red pepper

    1 yellow pepper

    grated cheddar cheese

    2 cups cooked rice

    vegetable oil (for frying)

    2-3 servings

    1. chop chicken breast into chunks.

    2. fry chicken quickly until almost cooked through.

    3. remove chicken from pan.

    4. cook peppers for 2-3 minutes.

    5. put chicken back in pan with peppers.

    6. add fajita seasoning and 1/4 cup water.

    7. cook til chicken is done.

    8. put mixture over rice and top with grated cheese.

    Grilled chicken with green vegetables. Its all about balanced meals, if you serve meals that include a protein and green veg with a little fat, olive oil, you have a well balanced meal. Greens will make you lean!
