What is a healthy, easy to make lunch menu?

catch-22

Iâd like to try out a menu with plenty carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and preferably low-fat, that is and easy and quick to cook. When I get home at lunch I usually have little time to prepare food, but Iâd like some new ideas for a healthy menu. Thank you in advance!

Answer
I would suggest you to make a sandwich. Based on your preferences, you wish to have carbohydrates which you can get from the bread, vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and meat inside the sandwich.

Here's a very simple recipe to make a sandwich.

Smoked Beef and Cheese Sandwich

ingredients:
Cucumber
Lettuce head
Tomato
mayo or any salad dressing you prefer
smoked beef
sliced cheese
breads (wheat bread would be best)

Instruction:

* Spread mayo or dressing of your choice on the breads
* put all the ingredients on top of a slice of bread
* top the second slice of bread on top
* give it a gentle press just to bind all of them together
* and there you have it.

Enjoy

Easy healthy recipes?

Waffles

Im looking for some easy healthy recipes. something quick and nothing too special. I mean i eat tuna straight from a can or mix it with fat free yogurt and spread some on bread. I eat cottage cheese on bread (Fat free). Im looking for simple things like that, where i get some good protein while avoiding fat and keeping the carbs rather low. Im not a fan of salads however i do like mixing chopped up vegetables as long as i stay away from the things i dont like.

Ill list some things i do not like:
celery
regular lettuce
raw onion
cabbage

Now some things i do like
cucumber
mushroom
olive
chicken
turkey
fish (all of them)
seafood


Im tring to lose weight and im no chef so i need to come up with ideas so i stop eating the same 3 things every day. Also some healthy deserts would be nice for a snake. i found cinnamon and cottage cheese was actually quite good. something similar that stays very healthy.

Answer
I don't know if you like yogurt, but kefir is a great alternative to yogurt - more healthful punch and great if wanting to lose weight. You may want to check into it. You can get it lowfat and drink like a shake or add nutty granola for breakfast. Kefir will also help your digestion and keep bacteria balanced while you diet.

You can also put some kefir in the blender with your favorite fruits and make a great morning drink.

Cucumbers make a great sandwich! We use them here on sandwiches in the summer when they are in season.

Try stir frying your favorite veggies with a bit of chicken. Very easily done by just adding some coconut oil (healthful fats) to a pan and tossing in your favorite chopped veggies and chicken. To season add a bit of soy sauce and giner. Light, easy and served on a bed of rice it makes a great quick low cal meal with lots of nutrients.

Take care with the fish and tuna. Most are contaminated with mercury, which the body doesn't like to eliminate. There are dietary guidelines based on the mercury content. I believe tuna they say no more than once a week.

The cinnamon is a great add. Put it on whatever you want. It aids digestion and will help with your weight loss goals.

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!

What are some healthy and easy school lunches?

Olivia : )

I usually bring water( I don't like any other drinks), a sandwich, and and a snack, and normally it comes to around 250-300 calories. Does anyone know any more exciting meals that I can take to school?

Answer
•Wraps made with whole wheat tortillas, containing either lean cold cuts or lowfat cream cheese topped with veggie slices. Even the classic PB and J (peanut butter & jelly) is healthier in a wheat wrap.
•Single portion-sized cups of unsweetened apple sauce or fruit without added sugar.
•Trail mix made with cereals, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit or raisins, and a few chocolate morsels.
•Low fat cheese spread on whole wheat crackers.
•Individual serving-sized packages of low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, or yogurt smoothies.
•Baby carrots, celery sticks, or apple slices with dips made from yogurt or low fat sour cream.
•Mini-burritos made with rice and black beans or refried beans in a tortilla with tomato salsa. These can be heated or eaten cold.
•Baked chips or pretzels are a better choice than high-fat potato chips or cheese snacks.
•Drinks made from water with a splash of cranberry, peach, grape, or other fruit juice are healthier than sodas. Excess consumption of pure sugar-laden juices can increase the risk of obesity.
•Whole grain bagels topped with cream cheese-vegetable spread.
•Air-popped popcorn flavored with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
•Low fat cheese cubes and seedless grapes make a delicious side dish for sandwiches or wraps.
•Cold strips of grilled chicken with honey mustard dip.
•Dried cranberries or cherries are a sweet alternative for kids bored with raisins.
•Quesadilla slices made with cheese and chicken or vegetables

What are some healthy, good tasting, vegetarian sandwiches?

healthy easy sandwich spread image

Stalking K

Could you tell me some healthy, not bland, vegetarian sandwiches, that don't have tomatoes in them because I don't like tomatoes.
Thank you all so much for your answers!
I have a lot of great sandwitches to make (:

Answer
Hiya,

Healthy-n-Herby (n-tomato-free):

Salad Sandwich:

two slices bread or toast
several leaves of various lettuces and spinach
dandelion greens
watercress
cucumber slices
herb dressing

* * * *

Salmon and herb cream finger sandwiches:

250g light cream cheese
2 tablespoons dill leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/2 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
16 slices wholemeal bread
400g sliced smoked salmon

Place cream cheese, dill, chives, lemon rind and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Lightly spread 1 side of each piece of bread with cream cheese mixture. Top 8 with salmon. Sandwich with remaining bread. Using a sharp knife, remove crusts and cut each sandwich into 3 fingers. Arrange on a serving plate. Serve.

* * * *

Black Bean Burgers: 6

1 can black beans, drained
1 small carrot, minced
1/2 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp fresh oregano
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp fresh basil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cayenne
2 eggs
3/4 cup quick oats

Mash drained black beans (food processor or potato masher work well). Combine with all ingredients except eggs and oats. Once mixed well add eggs until thoroughly mixed (it's really easier to do this by hand even though it's a bit messy). Once mixed add oats (you may need slightly more oats depending on consistency, mixture should hold together fairly well and not be too mushy). Shape into 2-3 inch balls and press flat to form a patty. Place on hot fry pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes per side). Serve on a bun with cheese, on a bed of fresh greens, or let cool and store in fridge for later use.

Notes: You may substitute dried herbs for fresh (1 tbsp fresh = 1 tsp dried). These burgers make a wonderful meat substitute; crumble them on pizza, nachos, or in a salad. You may also vary the ingredients (e.g. add some minced green pepper or minced sweet potato). Be as creative as you wish. Very healthy and low fat. Enjoy and happy eating.

* * * *

Hummus Sandwiches: 2-3

Spread:
1/2 cup cooked white beans
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

Filling:
1 cup uncooked assorted vegetables
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp: basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper
2-3 slices of whole wheat bread

Combine white beans, mustard, and lemon juice in a food processor. Add additional lemon juice for desired consistency. Set aside. In a greased skillet on low heat, cook vegetables until almost done. Add egg white and spices and continue cooking until mixture is done. Spread some bean mixture over each slice of toasted bread, then add a small portion of egg mixture on top. Serve immediately.

Notes: This is a very healthy and quick meal to make when you're on the go. It can be a protein-filled breakfast or lunch item. You can always substitute any flavoured tortilla with the bean spread and egg mixture.

California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

"I came up with this recipe to entertain friends. Since I am a semi-vegetarian and love to BBQ, I am always inventing something new. The first time I made this, my meat-lover friends raved about this dish! I prefer mesquite coals over gas barbeques...however, either works fine."

Original recipe yield: 4 servings.
Prep Time:30 MinutesCook Time:20 MinutesReady In:50 MinutesServings:4

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 cup olive oil
1 cup sliced red bell peppers
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced
2 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside.
Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes.

what are some good easy to prepare snacks?

M_2

I'm not in a healthy snack food mood either, so thats no concern. We have nothing sweet already so I probably have to make somthing, but no good ideas.
Thanks!

Answer
Chili cheese fries:
Bake frozen fries til nearly done, then spoon a can of chili over the top & sprinkle with shredded cheese. Pop in the oven til hot & bubbly.

Make pizza from english muffins, bagel halves, or french bread topped with sauce, mozzarella, and whatever you have handy.

A bowl of cereal sometimes hits the sweet snack spot.

Ramen noodles are also fast & tasty. Cinnamon toast, PB&J toast, a fried egg sandwich, Nachos (spread the chips on a plate, top w/cheese and what-have-you, and nuke).

What are some healthy and easy school lunches?

Olivia : )

I usually bring water( I don't like any other drinks), a sandwich, and and a snack, and normally it comes to around 250-300 calories. Does anyone know any more exciting meals that I can take to school?

Answer
•Wraps made with whole wheat tortillas, containing either lean cold cuts or lowfat cream cheese topped with veggie slices. Even the classic PB and J (peanut butter & jelly) is healthier in a wheat wrap.
•Single portion-sized cups of unsweetened apple sauce or fruit without added sugar.
•Trail mix made with cereals, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit or raisins, and a few chocolate morsels.
•Low fat cheese spread on whole wheat crackers.
•Individual serving-sized packages of low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, or yogurt smoothies.
•Baby carrots, celery sticks, or apple slices with dips made from yogurt or low fat sour cream.
•Mini-burritos made with rice and black beans or refried beans in a tortilla with tomato salsa. These can be heated or eaten cold.
•Baked chips or pretzels are a better choice than high-fat potato chips or cheese snacks.
•Drinks made from water with a splash of cranberry, peach, grape, or other fruit juice are healthier than sodas. Excess consumption of pure sugar-laden juices can increase the risk of obesity.
•Whole grain bagels topped with cream cheese-vegetable spread.
•Air-popped popcorn flavored with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
•Low fat cheese cubes and seedless grapes make a delicious side dish for sandwiches or wraps.
•Cold strips of grilled chicken with honey mustard dip.
•Dried cranberries or cherries are a sweet alternative for kids bored with raisins.
•Quesadilla slices made with cheese and chicken or vegetables

What are some healthy, good tasting, vegetarian sandwiches?

healthy easy sandwich spread image

Stalking K

Could you tell me some healthy, not bland, vegetarian sandwiches, that don't have tomatoes in them because I don't like tomatoes.
Thank you all so much for your answers!
I have a lot of great sandwitches to make (:

Answer
Hiya,

Healthy-n-Herby (n-tomato-free):

Salad Sandwich:

two slices bread or toast
several leaves of various lettuces and spinach
dandelion greens
watercress
cucumber slices
herb dressing

* * * *

Salmon and herb cream finger sandwiches:

250g light cream cheese
2 tablespoons dill leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/2 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
16 slices wholemeal bread
400g sliced smoked salmon

Place cream cheese, dill, chives, lemon rind and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Lightly spread 1 side of each piece of bread with cream cheese mixture. Top 8 with salmon. Sandwich with remaining bread. Using a sharp knife, remove crusts and cut each sandwich into 3 fingers. Arrange on a serving plate. Serve.

* * * *

Black Bean Burgers: 6

1 can black beans, drained
1 small carrot, minced
1/2 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp fresh oregano
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp fresh basil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cayenne
2 eggs
3/4 cup quick oats

Mash drained black beans (food processor or potato masher work well). Combine with all ingredients except eggs and oats. Once mixed well add eggs until thoroughly mixed (it's really easier to do this by hand even though it's a bit messy). Once mixed add oats (you may need slightly more oats depending on consistency, mixture should hold together fairly well and not be too mushy). Shape into 2-3 inch balls and press flat to form a patty. Place on hot fry pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes per side). Serve on a bun with cheese, on a bed of fresh greens, or let cool and store in fridge for later use.

Notes: You may substitute dried herbs for fresh (1 tbsp fresh = 1 tsp dried). These burgers make a wonderful meat substitute; crumble them on pizza, nachos, or in a salad. You may also vary the ingredients (e.g. add some minced green pepper or minced sweet potato). Be as creative as you wish. Very healthy and low fat. Enjoy and happy eating.

* * * *

Hummus Sandwiches: 2-3

Spread:
1/2 cup cooked white beans
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

Filling:
1 cup uncooked assorted vegetables
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp: basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper
2-3 slices of whole wheat bread

Combine white beans, mustard, and lemon juice in a food processor. Add additional lemon juice for desired consistency. Set aside. In a greased skillet on low heat, cook vegetables until almost done. Add egg white and spices and continue cooking until mixture is done. Spread some bean mixture over each slice of toasted bread, then add a small portion of egg mixture on top. Serve immediately.

Notes: This is a very healthy and quick meal to make when you're on the go. It can be a protein-filled breakfast or lunch item. You can always substitute any flavoured tortilla with the bean spread and egg mixture.

California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

"I came up with this recipe to entertain friends. Since I am a semi-vegetarian and love to BBQ, I am always inventing something new. The first time I made this, my meat-lover friends raved about this dish! I prefer mesquite coals over gas barbeques...however, either works fine."

Original recipe yield: 4 servings.
Prep Time:30 MinutesCook Time:20 MinutesReady In:50 MinutesServings:4

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 cup olive oil
1 cup sliced red bell peppers
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced
2 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill for high heat.
Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside.
Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don't burn. Remove from grill, and layer the with vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

The Best Veggie Sandwich

"A local restaurant used to serve a version of this sandwich but when they discontinued it, I experimented and made it better with the addition of dry roasted sesame seeds and using English Muffins instead of whole wheat bread. Garnish each with a black olive, if desired."

Prep Time:20 Minutes
Cook Time:5 Minutes
Ready In:25 Minutes
Servings:4

INGREDIENTS:

4 English muffins, split and toasted
1 avocado, mashed
1 cup alfalfa sprouts
1 small tomato, chopped
1 small sweet onion, chopped
4 tablespoons Ranch-style salad dressing
4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 cup shredded smoked Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to broil.
Place each muffin open-faced on a cookie sheet. Spread each half with mashed avocado; place halves close together. Distributing ingredients evenly, cover each half with sprouts, tomatoes, onion, dressing, sesame seeds and cheese.
Place under broiler for about 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

what are some good easy to prepare snacks?

I'm not in a healthy snack food mood either, so thats no concern. We have nothing sweet already so I probably have to make somthing, but no good ideas.
Thanks!

Answer
Chili cheese fries:
Bake frozen fries til nearly done, then spoon a can of chili over the top & sprinkle with shredded cheese. Pop in the oven til hot & bubbly.

Make pizza from english muffins, bagel halves, or french bread topped with sauce, mozzarella, and whatever you have handy.

A bowl of cereal sometimes hits the sweet snack spot.

Ramen noodles are also fast & tasty. Cinnamon toast, PB&J toast, a fried egg sandwich, Nachos (spread the chips on a plate, top w/cheese and what-have-you, and nuke).
