Some easy, healthy recipes?




Keep on


My dad and brothers are going to be gone, so it's just going to be me and my mom. She's been sick lately so i want to do the cooking. I just need 2 more meals which are a lunch and a welcome home dinner. Any suggestions?
i have pizza, tacos, spaghetti, salad and baked potato, sandwiches, hot dogs and Shepard's pie



Answer
pot roast is always an outstanding welcome home dinner! The entire house smells awesome and it shouts out loud when you walk inside "dinner is here for you, welcome home" The greatest thing about this is that everything goes into one pot! Add a salad and you are done.

My boys also love a beer butt chicken. Season a whole chicken, put it onto a can of beer or coke and set the whole thing onto a shallow heavy pan. Cook at 350 for 2 hours and it is done! Just be sure to let it set for a while before you do anything with it and you will need help getting it off the can! Don't do it by yourself.


Plan to use your leftovers for a meal. If you cook chicken for dinner, cut up the chicken and make a salad with chicken on top. Or use it with toast and tomato and a bit of bacon to make club sandwich's.
If you do pasta one night, put an extra handful or two of pasta in to boil, add leftover veggies and heat it all up in broth to make a simple soup.
If your mother has been sick with flu or something, prepare light meals that won't set on her stomach heavily for a long time.
If she is weak, plan meals around a protein such as chicken or fish or even beef.
Eggs are a great protein meal! fix an omelet. They are simple and fun to make. Its all about the toppings!
Good luck

Answer
Chicken Stir Fry Recipe
This chicken stir fry recipe does not have any vegetables in it, because I find many kids like to keep their vegetables and main course separate. If your family enjoys all-in-one meals, by all means, add some red pepper, snow peas, broccoli and/or mushrooms to this stir fry chicken recipe.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
* 1/3 cup cornstarch
* 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
* 1/2 cup orange marmalade
* 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
* 1 tsp. minced ginger
* 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
* kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
* 2 tsp. canola oil

Preparation:

1. Place chicken breast pieces in a gallon-size zip-top plastic bag. Add cornstarch. Toss to coat.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange marmalade, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Heat wok over high heat. Add canola oil. Add chicken. Stir-fry until the chicken is no longer pink.
