What are some healthy, easy meals\snacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner that I can make at home?
10 points for the most ideas for all the meals\snacks!
Answer
Breakfast:
- Egg whites (better for you than the whole egg) with a little salt and pepper, maybe some cheese to add flavor, on wheat toast.
- Grapefruit (it's sooo healthy for you, it can be a snack too)
- Cottage Cheese Pancakes: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/351
- Oatmeal
- All fruit smoothie. Have non frozen fruit and add ice or use frozen fruit and add a little 100% fruit juice. You can make it a *healthy* milk shake by using low fat milk instead of juice and adding a little sugar (sugar isn't unhealthy in small amounts, but fake sugar like sweet and low and equal are bad for you)
Lunch/Dinner:
- Chicken breast with lemon pepper or other seasonings
- A spinach tortilla with chicken cooked in some bbq sauce. Add lots of lettuce and a little bit of light ranch (like a teaspoon, if even that).
- Salad- there are thousands of possible salads you can make but what I love doing is a bunch of lettuce, some spinach if you like that, salt, pepper, garlic (powder and only a small amount) and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, or even carrots and peppers
- Taco Salad: brown some lean beef, drain any fat, add seasonings (McCormick has a taco seasoning packet for 50 cents). Make a bowl full of lettuce, tomatoes if you want, some beef, some cheese if you want, and tortilla chips if you want (less healthy version).
- Chicken in a bag- McCormick's has these awesome chicken bag seasonings where you throw chicken in the bag (they provide) with some carrots, potatoes, whatever you want, add the seasoning and bake for about an hour. One of my husbands favorites!
- Costco sells individual salmon fillets. Take one out of the fridge/freezer, season to your liking, throw on a pan, the grill, or in the oven and cook.
- a sandwich- between whole wheat bread slices, pita style, or wrapped up (spinach wraps are really delicious, or whole wheat wraps which I'm not a huge fan of).
- Make some quinoa or brown rice in a rice cooker or in a pot if you don't have one. Add some black beans, salt and pepper, and some mozzarella if it's still to bland. I like to add some sriracha (chili hot sauce) into the rice as it cooks and some garlic seasoning. It adds some kick and makes it taste really good without adding the sodium from cheese.
Snacks:
- peppers
- celery. If you hate it alone add some organic peanut butter (no preservatives) you can even go to many stores and grind your own peanuts into peanut butter.
- peas, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, other vegetables but not potatoes or corn.
- apples, pears, bananas, berries, grapefruit, and other fruits.
- some nuts or a homemade trail mix (raisins, peanuts, almonds, some dark chocolate chips, whatever else you want)
Dessert
- a small amount of dark chocolate is actually really good for you. The higher the cocoa content the better :) But only a small amount.
Those are my favorites but check out this site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/over-100-quick-and-easy-healthy-foods.html

What are some healthy, delicious sandwich recipes?

Please put something healthy and unique, not just Peanut Butter and Jelly.
Answer
This is a great sandwich.........
Veggie and Cheese Bagel Sandwich...............
½ of a block Cream Cheese
2 whole (to 3) Green Onions
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Avocado
Red Onion
1 whole Everything Bagel (or Any Kind Of Bagel)
Alfalfa Sprouts.....optional
1 Or 2 Slices Of Muenster Cheese
Slice Of Cheddar Cheese
Lettuce ...I use Romain..your choice...
Place ½ a block of cream cheese on a plate and mash it a bit with a fork. Next.. chop up 2-3 green onions and mix them with the cream cheese until thoroughly combined....
Slice all veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, red onions) thinly.
Split the bagel. Then toast it. Then let it cool completely. Toasting it gives it the perfect crunch and flavor, and texture Toasting is optional of course....... Spread the cream cheese generously on both sides of the bagel.
Layer the vegetables. First lay the avocados right along the cream cheese to help them stay put. Next the alfalfa sprouts which are optional and then one slice of each kind of cheese. On the other half of the bagel arrange the cucumber slices in a circle. Sprinkle the cucumbers with a pinch of salt if you would like.
Next lay the onion slices on top of the cucumbers, then the tomatoes, followed by a slice of lettuce, and if youâre feeling naughty, another slice of Muenster cheese. LOL
Put the whole thing together and Voila A cool, crisp, and deliciously fabulous Veggie and Cheese Bagel Sandwich.
Enjoy..Its mouth watering...
