Q. i really want to cook dinner today for my dad because my mom left for a few days. i want to make something semi-difficult to impress him. it has to be something healthy but not too healthy like a salad. Also he is allergic to shellfish. Thanks!
A. I would recommend looking at some of the recipes on this site. Many of them are simple to make, but also healthy and still taste delicious! I pulled up the "quick and healthy" category I think, but the entire site has lots of create ideas from pro chefs on the food network.

Try doing something like a pasta dish- those are easy because they do not require you to cook any meat. You could also make some sort of fancy sandwich, such as a meatball sub. Good Luck! :)

What are some healthy dishes you can make in under 10 minutes?
Q. lets just say i eat WAY too much fast food. (but i'm not fat cuz i have a fast metabolism!) so i need some healthy fast food to make in 5-15 minutes. i'd prefer if they were'nt vegetables (i don't like them) but if they are, that's ok... but i REALLY don't like vegetables! lol thanks!
A. You can actually make sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them if you like cold sandwiches. They don't have to be unhealthy either. You can use a healthy type of margarine like smart balance light instead of a real cream butter to cut major calories. Mayonnaise actually doesn't freeze well, which is why this says to use butter. High cream contents also do not freeze well. You could always put mayo on it after it defrosted.
1 pack of sub sandwich rolls
1 package cold cut meat (or you can do multi-meat sandwiches)
1 pack cheese slices
Low fat margarine or butter
Spread a thin layer of the butter on both inside sides of the sub rolls. Place meat and cheese inside. Wrap each sandwich in cling wrap and then place them in individual freezer zip-locks or one big one. Take a sandwich out of the freezer 4-5 hours before you will eat it or the night before and place it in a cooler or fridge. It should be defrosted by the time you want to eat it. If you work or go to school full time, you can take it before work/school and it would be ready to eat by lunch. If you want to have lettuce and tomato on it, put those in a ziplock separately in the cooler when you take the sandwich out in the morning.

If you like tuna, chicken or have hard boiled eggs on hand you can make creamed tuna or chicken or eggs goldenrod.
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
4-6 slices of toast
1 can tuna or chicken breast or 2 hard boiled eggs
Salt and pepper to taste.
1. Put the butter in a small or medium pot or skillet over medium heat.
2. When the butter it melted, add the flour and stir it to make a roux that looks like a light yellow paste. Turn the heat to medium high
3. Add the milk immediately all at once. Whisk continuously until it is thick and bubbles break the surface. Remove from the heat.
4. Using a fork, flake the tuna or chicken into the sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. If making eggs goldenrod, dice the eggs and put them into the sauce.
5. Cut the toast into little squares. Pour the sauce over the squares and enjoy. I make this all the time, it's super fast, cheap and easy. Canned tuna and chicken breast are high in protein and low in fat. This recipe makes 2 good sized portions or one huge one. The only disadvantage is that I don't believe it keeps in the fridge so you will have to eat it immediately. You could always half the recipe and put the rest of the can of chicken or tuna in a little tupperware in the fridge and use it later.

Quesadillas
2 tortillas
Cheese (any kind, cheddar or mexican blend works best)
Any other fillings you would like - canned chicken breast, jalapeño slices, fresh diced tomato pieces, black beans
Skillet: You can spray a non-stick skillet with non-stick spray, but it isn't necessary. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla on it. Sprinkle the cheese and other ingredients on it. Place the second tortilla on top. When the cheese just starts melting, flip it over. You can also flip it if the tortilla on that side is browning too fast. Eat it whole or slice it into wedges.
Microwave: Assemble the tortilla and place it on a microwave safe plate. Microwave it for about 30-45 seconds. Then eat and enjoy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Bean Tacos
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
several tortillas
Any toppings desired - shredded cheese, salsa, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole
1. Cook the black beans in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until hot.
2. Heat the tortillas for 15-30 seconds until hot.
3. Put the black beans in tortillas like a taco. Top with toppings. Enjoy. For any leftover black beans, put them in a tupperware in the fridge and use them in more tacos or quesadillas later.
