2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved

2.Meanwhile, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, rinse with cold water, 2 minutes, peel and slice.

3.In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, sliced eggs, apple, onions, relish, mayonnaise, celery, pineapple (with just a little juice for flavor), cilantro, seasoning to taste.

What are some healthy, quick, and easy lunches for an almost 3 year old?

Paula

I was recently laid off so my kids are home with me full-time now, but I'm stumped on what to fix for lunch. My daughter, who is almost 3, would eat pb&j sandwiches everyday if I'd let her. I don't want to give her chicken nuggets and pb&j everyday. Do you have any suggestions? I'd love something easy and quick. Thanks!

Hope these help

Easy Toddler Lunch Recipes and Lunch Ideas for Toddlers



Below you will find a few easy ideas for lunch for the Toddler. Feel free to substitute any ingredients you feel may be inappropriate for your Toddler!








PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA GRILLED SANDWICH

** See below for a Note concerning Peanuts and Tree Nuts **




Peanut Butter

Bananas

Whole Grain Bread


Warm frying pan
Lightly butter 2 slices of whole grain bread

When frying pan has warmed, lay one slice of bread butter-side down and spread with peanut butter and thinly sliced bananas
Top with remaining slice of bread; butter side up. Fry and flip sandwich as needed until bread becomes golden and toasted.

"TRADITIONAL" GRILLED CHEESE

Warm frying pan and take out 2 slices of cheese from the fridge
Lightly butter 2 slices of whole grain bread
When frying pan has warmed, lay one slice of bread butter-side down top with 2 slices of cheese and then top with remaining slice of bread;
butter side up. Fry and flip sandwich as needed until bread becomes golden and toasted.

Hide meat and/or veggies in there!! Turkey, Chicken, Cooked Broccoli, Carrot Slivers, Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes or even Green Beans for example!




PASTA SALAD

1 bag of tri-color pasta (shaped in wheels or another "fun" shape if possible)
1 C chopped fresh broccoli
1/4 C sliced black olives
1/2 C baby Carrots, julienne
1/2 C zucchini, sliced thin
1/2 red onion, sliced very thin
2 T olive oil
black pepper and lemon juice (low-fat salad dressing if your choose)

Boil pasta al dente. Sauté broccoli, carrots, zucchini in olive oil until crisp yet tender. Drain & rinse pasta. Combine pasta and vegetables in large bowl and add parmesan cheese to lightly coat. Add black pepper and lemon juice if you wish. Serve warm or cold

PINWHEEL PLATTER

Cheese Slices
Veggie and Fruit sticks or slices
Turkey, Chicken Breast or other Meat Slices ** NATURAL ONLY - CHECK FOR PRESERVATIVES**

Lay meat slices on plate, top with cheese slices and roll into a tube.
Cut the "tube" into separate portions.
If appropriate, use colourful toothpicks to hold the "pinwheel" slices together.
Your toddler will have fun eating the portions from the toothpicks
(you may even lay these out if find them inappropriate!) as if on an hors de vours tray! Add sliced veggies and fruits to your pinwheel platter for colour and variety to tempt the toddler palate!

CHICKEN POTATO CHOWDER

1/3 C. diced and cooked boneless breast or ground chicken
1/4 C. cubed and cooked potato
3 T. shredded mild Cheddar or American cheese
1/4 C. milk
2 tsp. butter
Peas, carrots and/or corn

Mix chicken, veggies, potato, milk, and butter in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in cheese. Serve warm.

CHEESE MELTS

Top a slice of bread, open pita or flour tortilla with the following:
2 tomato slices
Strips of cooked thinly sliced chicken, natural ham, beef or ground turkey sausages, (you may also use tuna fish if your toddler may have fish).
Top off with a slice of cheese (deli style "real" cheese).

Hide some veggies like cooked Broccoli, Carrot Slivers, Onions, Peppers, even Green Beans for example!
Broil in oven or toaster oven until cheese is melted.
Allow to cool prior to serving



NANA'S CREAMED PEAS & NUGGETS

4 cups peas, fresh, frozen (or canned as a last resort)
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper to taste
pieces of chicken, fish, pork or beef

Melt butter in a large sauce pan and whisk in flour- allow to cook for 1 minute.
Slowly add milk, whisking to prevent lumps. Add salt, pepper and other spices as desired. Cook until sauce begins to thicken. Add peas, stir and cook until peas are heated through (about 5-7 minutes) Add meat Serve warm alone or over multi-grain toast. **Other veggies may be added if you desire, however - ensure that ratio of veggies equals 4 cups!**

PUPS IN A BLANKET

One pack of all-beef, or turkey all-natural (or tofu) hot dogs
Puff pastry dough or Ready-to-Bake Crescent Rolls or Lavash or Wraps
Veggies & Cheese

Directions:
In a skillet, cook the (tofu) dogs until they brown and blister- may boil if using meat dogs, while the dough sits out defrosting.
Wrap the dogs in a square of the dough and roll them up like a cigar with veggies & cheese.
Cut into smaller pieces to desired Toddler-friendly size.
In an oven preheated to 375-400 degrees F, bake the rolled dogs for about 25min. or until they are fluffy and golden brown.

Serve with Sweet Potato Fries or Veggie Sticks and Dipping Sauce

What is your favorite recipe for a healthy Toddler Snack?

bluefroggy

We need more ideas. Our favorite to date is Sweet Potato Balls.

Mix Together:
insides of 2 sweet potatoes
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons milk

Form into balls and roll in
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 teas. fresh finely minced parsely

cook by baking on greased baking sheet in pre-heated oven for 10-15 mintes or until egg is throughly cooked.

Look forward to hearing news ideas. Thanks.

Answer
Mini pizzas are always fun, made with whole wheat or whole grain english muffins, pizza sauce, reduced-fat cheese, and topped with lots of yummy veggies!

Or, cut up veggies or fruits in fun shapes like stars or hearts, or use cookie cutters for sandwichs for a fun snack.

All finger food is good like gerber flavored puffs, any kind of cereal like cheerios or kix. I would go for cheerios, they now come in whole grain (:


Hope that helps!

That's pretty much all I can see right now. It's ok if you have a recipe that maybe has something not on my list. It's jut hard for me to get my parents to buy what I want and the healthy stuff. And there's probably a lot of thing I could make I just hafta find a recipe! Also healthy snack ideas?

You can also replace the pinto beans with kidney beans I think. I'm not really sure if they're healthy or not though.
I like putting organic peanut butter or almond butter and cinnamon in my oatmeal. Adds good flavor.

Good luck!! (Sorry I didn't really give you any recipes)

Quick, easy, high-protein vegan meals?

Q. Lately I haven't had a lot of time to cook meals because I'm so busy. Usually what ends up happening is at the last minute, I find something quick to eat, and it's usually not very balanced; high-carb with not a lot of protein.

Does anyone have ideas for quick, easy, vegan lunches or dinners that are healthy and high in protein?

Answer
Make your meals and freeze them. I've been experimenting with veggie burgers only making them into veggie loaf and baking them. Then I always have sandwich filling on hand. There are so many recipes and I am avoiding refined soy products such as tofu and soy milk and using the whole beans.

Healthy sandwich recipe?

chunkymunk

1 ounce is how many deli chicken slices?
does anybody have a healthy sandwich recipe using deli chicken slices?

im stuck for ideas for lunch..

Answer
The amount of chicken you get in one ounce will vary with the thickness of the slice. If you don't have a scale then when you get your deli meat make sure you order only 3/4 of a pound (12 ounces). This will give you a better idea of how to measure an ounce - 12 one ounce servings, 6 two ounce servings or 4 three ounce servings.
When you make a sandwich use 100% whole wheat bread (more fiber, will fill you up more, easy to metabolize, etc.). Toast the bread. Skip the mayo and use mustard. Use low sodium turkey or chicken and low fat cheese. Tomato slices, lettuce or arugula.
I like to use red pepper hummus and don't use cheese or mustard (very moist and creamy). Lots of protein, low fat.
Happy Cooking!

Meatless recipes for a meat eating family?

never woul

I used to eat meat every time I ate dinner. My mom knows its the easiest way to get protein without too many calories. But since I'm older I kinda want to try the whole vegetarian thing, I don't want to make things hard on my mommy when she makes dinner. I have made dinner without meat a couple times like tofu tacos (delicious) and cucumber sandwiches (pretty good) but what are some more meatless yet healthy dinner ideas?
By the way my reason for wanting to become a vegitarian is only for the health reasons, not that I'm unhealthy I just wanted to try something new. And thank you for all of your meal suggestions.

Answer
Great meal ideas that pleases both the vegan and non vegan are:

Barbecued Seitan Ribz with mashed potatoes or potato salad, ratatouille, mac and cheese, and biscuits. - http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/05/barbecued-seitan-ribz.html

Veggie Pot Pie
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1 frozen pie shell, or fresh dough if you have time

Thaw pie she'll and try real hard to take one 1/2 out of the tin w/o it breaking into a million pieces. If you manage, you are a god(dess). Meanwhile, cook chopped veggies (NOT spinach, just keep it till later). Cook in micro or oven till about 3/4 cooked. To make sauce, heat broth in large kettle, add spices, and lower heat. Add slowly either cornstarch or flour (I use flour), till slightly thickened. You can add dairy free milk and use veggie buillon cubes. Add to this cooked veggies and coat them w/sauce.
Meanwhile, layer 1/2 cheese on bottom of lower crust. Spoon in veggies and sauce, then add spinach on top. add rest of cheese on top of that, and close it up as best as you can w/ the torn top shell. at least mine always tears. bake at 400 for about 45 min, till crust is brown and delicious cheese and juice oozes out.

The Un-Meat Loaf
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup instant oats or oat bran (uncooked)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped fine
1 cup mushrooms, chopped fine
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 bell pepper, chopped fine
1 medium carrot, shredded fine
1 teaspoon dried thyme, marjoram or sage
2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
ketchup

Directions:
Combine all ingredients and mix for 2 minutes with a wooden spoon. Pack in to a 4 x 8 loaf pan sprayed with Pam and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until lightly browned. You may wish to top the loaf with ketchup after about 40 minutes, then continue baking the final 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
NOTE: The vegetables should be chopped as finely as possible. If you have a food processor this would be a great time to use it. Put each vegetable and the nuts in one at a time, pulse until finely ground. Then dump in to a big bowl with all other ingredients for final mixing.
This recipe freezes well too! Just wrap in foil and then in a freezer bag. To reheat either slice and warm in the microwave or reheat covered in a 350 oven for 20-30 minutes.

Serves: 8, Preparation time: 1:10

Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
about 1 pound of seitan, (I use Beef Minit Meat) prepared & cut into strips
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
2 cups of Imagine Brand Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 tablespoon Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream
2 cups of sliced white mushrooms
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
black pepper to taste
cooked pasta of your liking

Directions:
This stroganoff tastes exactly like the dish my dad used to make when I was a kid. Since becoming vegan, I never thought I would have it again. Delicious!!
Prepare your Seitan and cut into strips. In a large frying pan heat up your olive oil on medium heat. The heat is very important, because you want to brown the onions. You donât want them undercooked or overcooked, just a nice brown color. Add 1 large white onion, diced. Add 5-6 cloves of fresh garlic diced fine. Sautee mixture until onions are browned.
Add your mushrooms. At my house, we use a BUNCH of mushrooms. (about 2 cups) and saute them until soft on low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt, ½ teaspoon of garlic salt, and some black pepper.
When mushrooms are soft, add in your Imagine brand Cream of mushroom soup. Add 2 dollops of sour cream to the pan and mix well until creamy. Then add in your prepared seitan strips. Cook on low 15-20 minutes so that the seitan can soak up all the delicious gravy.
Serve over pasta, or add your pasta to the pan & mix.

Grilled Sourdough Cheese Sandwich
Sourdough bread
Butter
Chedder Cheese
Havarti Cheese
Tomato Slices
Oragano

Butter each side of the bread, On one slice place a layer of Havarti cheese, then tomato slices, followed by Chedder Cheese slices then the other slice of bread. Brown in a warm skillet sprayed with pam.

Otherwise you could always do a fresh garden salad with veggies.

Or kids always love a veggie tray with carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, etc.. and then having a bunch of dipping sauces like ranch, peanut butter, whatever salad dressing they like, honey mustard, cheese...

Sandwich recipes (reasonably simple, healthy, and priced)?

Lila.Bella

I poked around on the internet, but got overwhelmed and put off. Most recipes
1. call for gourmet ingredients only sold at Central Market
2. are unhealthy ("add 1/2c of mayo..."),
3. are complicated ("preheat the oven to 375 while you caramelize the onions...")
or 4. overdo the concept of 'cheap' (pb&j, bologna, etc)

I don't mind some prep work and spending - I just want things to be reasonable, you know? I want something tasty that I can throw together in <30min that won't make me fat, broke, or have a heart condition. Thanks! =)

Answer
grilled cheese- but with swiss and green apple slices

toasted turkey and thick bacon with fresh spinach, tomato and red onion

chicken or tuna salad...with spinach or lettuce

roast beef with whatever you like on it...

It's good and inexpensive to experiment with different kinds of mustard, vegetables, breads and meats. I Love alphalpha sprouts on almost anything and ciabatta bread...you can make wraps instead, it's easy to find some good flavored tortillas, and if sandwiches are boring you, switch to experimenting with salads for a week or so. Even fruit salad. You can also do a lot with yogurt...

Find a grocery store that has a great selection of vegetables at decent prices, where I am Fred Meyer has the best selection for the best price so I only buy from there. Wal-Mart always has bananas for 28 cents a pound, so I only buy them there....

I'll give you my Very favorite sandwich recipe that I made up and submitted to AllRecipes (I don't think they took that one though...I think there was a similar recipe they already had). It's not exactly what you are looking for, but it's great and you can make the stuff for it in larger quantities if you like it and just keep it in the fridge. The pesto sauce and artichoke/olive stuff can stay good in the fridge about a week.


Ingredients

* 1 package of Hoagie Style rolls
* 1 small jar black olives, sliced
* 2 cans artichokes, drained
* 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 3 tbsp olive oil
* sun-dried tomato spread
* 1 package of creamy pesto sauce
*

Directions

1. Prepare creamy pesto sauce according to package directions.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add drained artichokes and black olives to skillet, stirring often for about 15 minutes, while breaking up artichokes.
4. Pre-heat oven to 350.
5. Add the feta cheese to artichoke and olive mixture, heat an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and mixed in.
6. Split and toast the hoagie rolls in the oven, about 5 minutes.
7. Spread the sun-dried tomato spread on the bottom side of the hoagie roll, layer a generous amount of the artichoke mixture on top of that, drizzle with about 2 tbsp of the creamy pesto sauce on top, add the top piece of the roll, and enjoy!

I work out every day, seeing muscle definition but no weight loss?!?

breezyFbab

So here's the deal, I have been working out every day for about 9 months, I have definitely noticed great definition in my legs and arms but I am continuing to gain weight or just maintain it. I weigh about 117(on a good day) to 121lbs. I know that is not bad but I'm 5'4 and my fat goes to all the WRONG places. I feel sick when I haven't eaten-and feel like i'm about to pass out-so I snack..also I'm a college student so dinner is anything from..pizza, steaks, hamburgers(boxed food with meat, spaghetti) chicken(sandwiches, pasta) and so on..and I have to eat around 9 every night because I work from 3-8 mon-thurs.ALSO I am a receptionist so I am sitting on my ass for 5 hours daily, I TRY to be as active as possible but I can't hardly leave the desk....

What all am I doing wrong and do you have any suggestions?! I've got a little cellulite starting to form on my thigh and I just dread it getting worse...help! oh, and I DONT drink pop and I DONT eat fast food, I drink beer almost every weekend if not a crown and coke (my only acception with pop)...

Answer
Firstly fat is very light and fluffy compared to muscle. Muscle is very compact and when defined, you can gain quite a bit and its surprising on the scale. However, the scale is not measuring your muscle gain and is not accurate.

Now, I don't mean to be snooty, but our fast paced lives have caused a generation of people who don't realize that pizza and hamburgers and boxed pasta are all junk foods. YES, they are junk foods.

If you eliminate all white flower products and fried foods, you will get lean.

Here is a new one. Fat does not make fat in the body. That is a myth.

Pizza, pasta, and any fried potatoes or chips or anything that converts to sugars easily causes your body to produce triglycerides in the blood.

Triglycerides are what cause that fat surrounding your middle that you can't seem to get rid of.

Its the kind of fat Sumo wrestlers work on by creating triglycerides by overeating lots of white rice and then sleep so that they do nothing but store it all as fat.

You need to look up recipes and learn how to prepare your own food. You need to include 7 to 9 servings of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet. Meat is fine, but stay away from white flower products, white potatoes of any kind or anything that is converted to sugars by the body easily, because you will not burn it as energy, you will store it as fat and get hungrier because you didn't eat right.

About beer. Its the LIGHT beer that causes weight gain more than a hardy regular hoppy or barley beer. No corn beers like Mexican beers because they are brewed from corn syrup. No bud or coors because they too, are loaded with sugar. Get a good carb beer like Heffe Veis or something really healthy if your gunna drink a beer, ok?

Stick with carbohydrates that are harder to digest, like grains or breads that have sprouts, eat raw nuts, seeds. Athletes that work out know to make these awesome protein shakes that include flax seeds and other really healthy stuff. They get lean that way.

Take care, you sound like a down to earth no nonsense person who may not want to change your eating habits because you hate anything green! LOL.

It's not gallstones, what is it?

stephanie

Started out with pain/almost a swollen feeling in my mid right abdomen about 5 days ago. Two nights ago my upper right abdomen started hurting really bad and referring pain up into the right side of my neck and upper right arm. I went to the hospital and had an ultrasound and they said it looked fine. They also said it's possible that it might just not be "working" well which can give the same symptoms. Last night I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, later chicken noodle soup. At 10pm I had another attack that lasted a little over an hour. After that, I ate some cheetos, which are low in sat fat and had one small bite of my boy friends pizza. That was around 12am. At 5am this morning I woke up with yet another attack. These attacks don't seem to be as severe as when my mom had gallstones, but they are still the same symptoms. I also cannot take deep breaths, have trouble smoking a cigarette due to the sucking part of it and can not lay down no matter what side I lay on.
It is because of pressure put on this area that those things bother me during an attack. Pushing on my rib cage above the pained area also causes the same painful effect during an attack.

Answer
What is happening is your gall bladder is trying to tell you something. Low Fat, high carb diets cause so many problems. It's so hard for me to listen to all the hype being promoted by the food industry marketing schemes. This craze to listen to the so called "food experts" that are nothing more than "hired guns" of the food industry that get all dressed up to look professional and then tell people to eat diets high in vegetable oils and have recipes that promote some food industry's product and then tell people to cut down on fats is just ludicrous.

Gallstones are a result of bad bile made in the liver. The gall bladder is just a storage tank for bile. Bile is made from cholesterol. What typically happens when you eat low fat diets, the liver starves for good fats to be able to make good bile. When it doesn't get that, the bile produced is very viscous. This bile sits in the gall bladder and some of it crystallizes and makes gall stones. When the person finally does eat fat, it tries to push the bile down the bile duct, but because it is viscous, it moves very slowly. This leaves the fat to not digest properly, expand the bile duct (causing pain) and then when this bile finally reaches the jejunum, it does not emulsify the fat well. This old bile is then moved back to the liver for reprocessing and because not a lot of good fats are present, the liver produces more bad bile.

You need to clean your gall bladder and liver. The smoking is putting chemicals into your body that the liver has to process and is causing the liver to reprioritize from the stress brought on by the nicotine. The combination of these things is getting you ready for Gall Bladder Disease. You can do one of two things, change what you are doing or get your suitcase packed to go to the hospital and have your gall bladder out soon. Once you get your gall bladder out, you will have a constant stream of bad bile going to your jejunum that will keep you from having pain, but not allow you to digest your fats well and then be prepared to deal with weight issues, sickness and degenerative diseases due to bad fat digestion.

If you change what you are doing, you have a great chance of improving your health, keeping your gall bladder and living a better quality of life.

99% of all gall bladder operations are unnecessary.

You need to stop smoking at all costs. The average American shortens their life by 1/3 from not addressing this digestion issue and when you smoke, you can be prepared to accept the 1/2 your normal life expectancy. If you stop smoking now and change your diet, you have the opportunity to live a much longer, healthier, happier, life free of typical diseases and taking drugs as you age.

The basics: You need to have a diet that is: 40% carbohydrates (includes starches and no refined sugars), 30% fats, and 30% protein.

Of the 30% fats, it should be broken down as follows:

60% monounsaturated fats (like Olive Oil), 30% saturated fats from (real butter made from raw cream, coconut oil, fat from grass fed cows such as raw milk, beef, etc.), 10% polyunsaturated fats (from foods that have a 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids).

Diets low in saturated fats are not good. The man that started this stupid lunacy was Ancel Keys. He is called the man that started the lipid generation. He said that eating saturated fats causes heart disease. He showed that 6 countries in the world that were suffering from heart disease ate lots of saturated fats. But he neglected to show the other 36 countries that ate lots of saturated fats that did not have heart disease and countries that ate little saturated fats had high rates of heart disease from his studies. He simply chose what he wanted people to believe.

Bad saturated fats like hydrogenated fats are definitely bad for you, but so are the Vegetable Oils. They are polyunsaturated with weak double bonds. When you buy these, they are typically rancid due to the fancy see through bottles that allow light to enter and cause them to go rancid.

Then, when you heat them ever so slightly, they polymerize and the "cis" configuration changes to the "trans" configuration and you get TRANS FATS! These trans fats block the transfer of nutrients through the phospholipid membranes in the endocrine cells in your body.

Olive Oil is high in omega 9 fatty acids and Oleic Acid that is very good for you. Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed, and Corn Oils are GROSSLY TERRIBLE FOR YOU! These are mostly genetically modified now and generate lots of allergies.

Real Butter made from raw cream is wonderful for you. It is a saturated fat that comes from healthy cows that eat grass and not the pasteurized garbage that contains huge amounts of dead bacteria, crushed butter fat cells that make foreign amino acids that generate high homocystine in the body causing many allergies. There is also about 2% bacterium in pasteurized milk that has linked Crohne's disease to this in 92% of the Crohne's disease cases.

Coconut oil is loaded with Lauric Acid that feeds and nourishes your thyroid.

Both of these oils do not require the body's bile to break them down and they are sources of immediate energy. The butyric acid found in real raw butter nourishes the large intestine cells.

Go to: www.organicpastures.com look at the FAQ's there to get an education on why raw milk is safe and so much better for you.

good luck to you

Healthy recipes for work?

Kimberly L

I work in retail and often miss dinner because I'm working. I can't seem to think of meals that I can bring. We do have a microwave, but we don't have a refrigerator. I am also limited because I do not get a break, I have to eat between customers. Any ideas of what I can bring that is healthy and easy to eat, but doesn't require refrigeration?
It's only the law to have a scheduled lunch if you are over 8 hours. I am not over eight hours. I work 3-9:30.

Answer
Consider sandwiches and rolls.
If there is a place where you can keep food cool you could take a meal of leftovers from home or when you do cook a full meal make an extra portion and freeze.
During the day it may pay to keep them in a chilly bin. Thermos have a great range of insulated bags and boxes that will keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
There are numerous types of dried packet meals that just require boiling water.
From time to time you could make canned meals, just by opening a can of something like baked beans or a few cans that you can open to make your own meal. Canned sausages, canned peas and canned potatoes. (that would be too much for me using standard sized cans but you can get smaller cans of some foods)

edit.
Looking at your additional detail, have your cooked meal before work and just a lighter meal at dinner time, and as you only have to keep your meal for 3 hours, most foods will easily last that long.
Just remember that if you do have to serve a client to cover your foods

Easy HEALTHY recipe ideas! (breakfast and lunch/dinner)?

A

I am running out of recipe ideas to feed my daughter.

She will practically eat anything, not allergic to anything so it's pretty much open.The only catch is it has to be healthy.I feed her mostly organic with exceptions here and there.

I usually cook enchiladas, tacos, stew, lasagna, pizza, sandwiches, eggs, pancakes, french toast, spaghetti, thanksgiving dinner, cheeseburgers, hamburger helper, hot dogs, ravioli, soups and salads.

On school days, she eats cold cereal and oatmeal for breakfast and on weekends I usually make homemade breakfast.

I am just running out of ideas and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions? (preferably nothing with sweet and sour or teryioki because the smell of both of those make me nauseous and I cannot cook with it)
