healthy tuna melt sandwich recipes image
Drama Quee
Due to parents getting new jobs, the last week or so I've had to make and eat dinner myself. I've been restricted to microwave meals and tacky Iceland meals due to a lack of knowledge of what to make.
Does anyone have any suggestions, with recipes please?
I'm 15, btw.
Many thanks in advanced x
Answer
I had to deal with that after moving out :) Plus I have a busy schedule of college and work, so I needed fast, but healthy recepies.
chili-mac - make the mac and cheese according to the box, when the noodles are cooked, add a can of chili (the kind with no beans)
Oven roasted chicken thighs (or any type of meat) - for the chicken, just season them with salt and pepper, or any other seasoning lying around the house, then stick them in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
rice (easy) - small rice cookers are like 10-20 dollars, and way worth it! Just get a bag of rice from fry's, I prefer short grain (I believe the bag is white with jasmine printed on the outside) Put 1 1/2 cups of rice, rinse it out with your hands, then fill it to about an inch over the rice. Then just click the switch, 20 minutes and it's done!!
>>A great meal is the chicken and rice together, then just microwave a can of veggies.
tuna sandwiches - boil two eggs (for hard boiled, leave them in the boiling water for 5 min) While they're boiling, drain the can of white albacore tuna, then pour the tuna into the bowl. Add two knifefulls of mayo and a little salt and pepper to taste. Cut up the boiled eggs then mix in, eat on toasted bread! :)
cheeseburgers - there are pre shaped frozen patties at frys. It comes in a pack of 15, for like 13 dollars. Just toss them on the frying pan on medium heat, brown it, add salt and pepper, then when it's all brown, add a slice of cheese on top and wait like 2 min till it melts, done!
chicken patties - same thing, frys for like 10 dollars comes with 20 patties. Put them on aluminum foil into the oven for 18 minutes, serve with mayo.
spaghetti - this one you probably know!
Another great side I recently discovered are the "au-gratin" potatoes with cheese. You just add milk and cook them for 20 minutes in a casserole dish, I ate mine on the side with hot dogs.
Lol, I definitely don't have time to stand in the kitchen for an hour cooking! :)
Good luck!

What are some healthy school lunches and snacks?
Q. Can anyone give me a 7 day eating plan for school, including a lunch and two snacks?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Answer
Monday: Tortilla Pizza
1. Take a small 7 inch whole-wheat tortilla (90 calories) and put it between two paper towels and put it on a plate. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.
2. Spread 1 tbsp tomato sauce all over it. I use Ragu sauce, which is about 10 calories per tbsp.
3. Chop up a slice of turkey breast, 1/4 of a sweet bell pepper, a small white mushroom, and 1/2 a baby cucumber. You can use whatever toppings you like, but these are all super healthy. Toppings are about 40 calories.
4. Take a slice of cheese and fold it in half. Take the half and spread it all over your cheese (30 calories).
5. Toast it in those little ovens for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Has 170 calories
Snack: Silhouette 35 calories yogurt and an apple
Tuesday: Frittata
1. Preheat the broiler. Take a small little skillet (because this is only for 1 person) and drizzle 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil in the skillet. Sautee 1/4 cup sweet bell peppers, 2 tbsp chopped onion, and 1 mushroom chopped.
2. Once the vegetables are tender to your liking, transfer them to a plate. Don't re-oil the pan. Whisk 2 eggs together and pour it into the skillet. Once the bottom is set, put the vegetables in the frittata, making sure it's even.
3. Stick it in the broiler for 5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Has about 160 calories
Snack: 6 almonds (or more, if you're feeling particularly hungry) and yogurt
Wednesday: Tuna Salad Wrap
1 6 ounce tuna can packed in water, drained
2 tsp mayonnaise
2 tsp mustard
2 tsp relish
2 small whole-wheat tortilla
1. Open the tuna can and add mayonnaise, mustard, and relish. Mix well.
2. Spread the tuna mixture on the tortilla, roll up, and eat.
You can 1/2 the recipe or make two tortillas and save the other one for an after school snack. Has about 450 calories.
Snack: Baby carrots and an apple
Thursday: Chicken Salad
1. Cook the amount of chicken you want to put in your salad in a pan. Once it's fully cooked, transfer it to a plate. I would be using 4 small slices fully cooked seasoned chicken breasts from Lilydale.
2. Cut some lettuce, sweet bell peppers, cucumbers, celery, and whatever other vegetables you want to put in your salad. Vegetables are super low in calories and celery is even a negative calorie.
3. Put your desired low-fat dressings. I like to put a lot of mustard, a tsp of mayonnaise, and relish.
About 140 calories
Snack: Granola bar and banana
Friday: Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich
1. Take a slice of whole-wheat bread and cut it in half, so you get two thin slices of bread.
2. Spread 1 tbsp of peanut butter over the sandwich.
3. Cut a banana into slices and put it on top of your peanut butter. Top with the other slice of bread.
Should be about 285 calories
Snack: Yogurt and 6 almonds
That's about all I can come up with. I'm sorry it's not a 7 day eating plan, but I hope it helped!
