Always remember we need at least one meat, one vegetable, one starch which includes potatoes/rice/corn/beans.
Lunches:
Have you tried the Campbell's New England Chowder? Very good for lunch. A meal in itself.
Soups and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Jimmy Dean pre-cooked sausage patties are VERY good and make excellent sandwiches for lunch.
Tuna; salmon; kippers; sardines; chili; egg sandwiches of all types; peanut butter; cottage cheese with fruit; hot cereals; sloppy joes; hamburgers; Hillshire Farm's DELI SELECT containers of shaved meats of all kinds for sandwiches (you can reuse the containers).
All can be server with sliced tomatoes/onions/lettuce/etc. which gives you a vegetable along with your meat.
Suppers:
Most deli's are now roasting chickens. They are delicious. We have to stand in line at the grocery store to get one. They usually sell them beginning at 10:00 am. Try to buy two and freeze one.
Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S&W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing, microwave chicken/turkey gravy, a vegetable, cranberry sauce, and Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Keeps the kitchen cool.
Hormel, Armour, Tyson, Smithfield, and other brands have packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload. Most all come with gravy. They are very good. Use these for your meat dish and add vegetables, rice, or potatoes. You will find these packages near the cold meat section, they are not frozen. If you are only cooking for yourself, you can make two or more meals out of one package and freeze them for future dinners or lunches.

Can you suggest me any vegetarian recipes? which quick to make n healthy?

Answer
farmers market sandwich
1. Wash a zucchini, some button or baby portobella mushrooms, and some cherry or grape tomatoes. Red bell pepper is also optional.
2. Slice everything, and set the tomatoes aside. Fry the rest of the veggies in butter, garlic, and basil until tender.
3. Melt a little cheese on a bagel or toast, and layer the veggies on. If you dice instead of slice, this makes a great baked potato topping.
Burrito Bowl
1. Make white or brown rice.
2. Fry black beans and corn together with chili powder, cumin, turmeric, crushed black pepper, and onion to taste. Pour this onto the rice.
3. Top with your favorite salsa, along with cheese and lettuce if you'd prefer. You can add diced chili peppers to spice it up, or diced green bell peppers to cool it down.
My Favorite Stir Fry
1. Fry broccoli florets and sliced carrots in garlic butter until tender. (Or 1 tbs water and minced garlic if you're watching your weight.)
2. Add baby corn spears and your favorite stir fry sauce. (I prefer House of Tsang Classic.)
3. Meanwhile, make udon or soba noodles, egg noodles, or rice.
4. Add stir fry noodles/rice to stir fry and toss to coat.
5. Top with peanuts and enjoy.
Another Good Stir Fry
1. Press tofu and slice into small rectangles or cubes.
2. Wash snow or sugar snap peas and thinly sliced carrot sticks.
3. Fry until heated through with your favorite stir fry sauce and maybe a little minced garlic.
Mediterranean Wraps (or Pita Pockets)
1. Gather a few of your favorite Mediterranean (peppers, squashes, snow peas, potatoes, garlic, onions, etc). Wash and slice them.
2. Put them in a container and add olive oil and Italian seasonings. (I just buy an Italian seasonings grinder, but feel free to improvise.) Toss to coat. Bake, covered, at 350 until tender. The timing depends on what veggies you choose, but it should be between 20 and 45 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and put in wraps, pitas, or serve with spaghetti and garlic bread.
Veggie Chili
1. Heat either tomato juice or chunky style tomato sauce, depending on how thick you want your chili.
2. Add beans and select veggies (frozen bags of veggie soup veggies work well). Optional: add tempeh or TVP ground beef replacer.
3. Add chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and any other spices you'd like.
4. Simmer and serve with corn bread, on fries, or on tofu dogs.
Rice Pilaf
1. Prepare vegetarian friendly rice pilaf. (I use Near East.)
2. Steam broccoli, and tofu if you'd like.
3. Combine, and top with slivered almonds or pine nuts if you're feeling fancy.
A Vegetarian's Steak Dinner
1. Grill or saute a portabella mushroom cap with minced garlic, sea salt, crushed black pepper, and soy sauce.
2. Serve with a baked potato and green vegetables.
For a super-light dinner . . .
1. Slice cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. Add baby spinach.
2. Toss with fresh lemon juice and fresh basil. Serve fresh.
OR
2. Toss with olive oil, garlic crushed black pepper. Bake at 350 until warm.
3. Serve with whole wheat toast and avocado slices.
Tofu scramble
press a block of tofu. Lightly coat a large skillet with oil, and heat on high. Crumble the tofu over the skillet and stir continuously. Sprinkle with a small amount of soy sauce. Add black pepper, onion powder, garlic, chili powder, and cumin to taste. Add turmeric until desired color is achieved. Continue cooking until heated through.
Meanwhile, heat another skillet with oil and add two to three potatoes sliced into small cubes. Add crushed black pepper and onion to taste. Fry over medium heat until golden brown. (feel free to add other veggies, but fry them separately from the tofu.) Stir in with the tofu and eat, or store in an sealed container in the fridge to reheat and eat later.
---------------------
Each of these dishes is fairly cheap, so long as you already have the spices. If you don't, feel free to improvise with what you do have. If you're in a hurry, try buying a bag of mixed frozen veggies and a bag of dried beans. You can prepare these and throw them in with pasta, topped with butter, olive oil, or pasta sauce. Also try them stir fried with rice, or on a bed of quino or amaranth.
