Q. I've recently been bringing crackers with a can of tuna and cucumbers to school because i've been eating sandwiches for the past 11 years and i am very very sick of it.
I have access to the year 12 kitchen which has microwaves/toasters/sandwich presses/hot water. I'm looking for a healthy, easy-to-prepare lunch recipe

What healthy meals can you make and freeze for the week?
Q. I like chicken, shrimp, beef, etc...just no pork.
Recipe for your favorite would be great.

A. I love this non-traditional chili made with canned tomatillos, green chilies and white beans. It goes together quickly, can be prepared in advance and leftovers freeze beautifully. The optional toppings add fresh color and bright flavor. Serve with brown or white rice, if desired.
WHITE TURKEY CHILI
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pounds ground turkey breast
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1 (28-ounce) can tomatillos, drained and chopped
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely sliced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups cooked Great Northern beans, drained
Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
7 teaspoons grated Monterey Jack cheese, for garnish (optional)
7 teaspoons sour cream, for garnish (optional)
Method
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add turkey and cook, stirring often, until browned. Transfer to a bowl and return pot to heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, bell pepper and onion and cook until softened and golden brown. Return turkey to pot and add coriander, cumin, oregano and salt. Stir well to combine. Add bay leaf, tomatillos, chiles, jalapenos and broth, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 to 50 minutes. Gently stir in beans and cook for 30 minutes more. Stir in cilantro, ladle chili into bowls and garnish with cheese and sour cream, if you like.
Other cooked meals or entrees that freeze well are meatballs (either Italian style or Swedish; beef or turkey Meatballs), Meatloaf, Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal or Beef Rollatine, Beef stew without the potatoes. Meatloaf and meatballs also make great hero sandwiches or turn them into Shepherds pie which also freezes well. The filling for chicken pot pies freezes well; just defrost the filling and top with refrigerated crescent or biscuits and bake until hot and bubbly or just serve the filling over toast.

What are some good good and healthy vegitarian meals?
Q. im a vegitarian and its hard to eat dinner everynight when my parents cook meat and the dinner microwave meals have to much sodium. i love tofu and most vegtibles. i want a meal easy to cook and healthy
A. If you want to learn to cook, that is great. It's a very important step for veg people. All of those frozen and prepackaged meals are inexcusably overpriced. Foods containing only plant products should be CHEAPER and NOT pricier.
