Good for you! Look at the site below. A number of teenagers I know use it.

Grilled Chicken Marinade Recipe

You can make this recipe with chicken pieces that have their skins on them or with boneless skinless chicken breasts, whole or slivered.

Make a double quantity of this recipe and you can use leftovers for Easy Chicken Salad Recipe, Best Chicken Salad Sandwich or Easy Paella Recipe.

# Easy
# Preparation time: 5 minutes
# Cooking time: about 10 minutes
# Serves 4

Ingredients:

# 1½ lbs / 700g chicken pieces
# 1 clove garlic
# 1" / 2½ cm piece of ginger, peeled
# 1 teaspoon paprika
# 2 tablespoons soy sauce
# 2 tablespoons oil

Method:

1. Crush the garlic. Grate the ginger. Mix together in a shallow bowl which is big enough to take the chicken. You can blitz the garlic and ginger together if you have a food processor. Add the paprika, soy sauce and oil.
2. Place the chicken pieces in the shallow dish and smother with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for between 20 minutes and 24 hours, the longer the better.
3. Heat the grill to 400° F / 200° C. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, (skin side nearest the heat if this is relevant). Cook for about 7 minutes. Turn over and cook for about 5 more minutes. Check to see that the chicken is cooked all the way through.
4. If using skinless chicken breasts, you can cut the chicken into slivers. Place the slivers in the marinade. Push the pieces down so that they are well coated. Marinade for 20 minutes - 24 hours. Heat the grill to 400° F / 200° C. Grill for about 2 - 3 minutes and then turn the pieces over. Grill for another 1 - 2 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through.
5. Serve this grilled chicken marinade recipe with new potatoes or pasta and a large salad.

Foods that are semi-healthy and easy to make?

Q. I got to go to the store and I always buy easy to make frozen foods and I feel under the weather lately and think its my diet. What are some healthy things to grab breakfast, lunch, and dinner wise?

Answer
To be and stay healthy:

Breakfast:
oatmeal & toast;
cream of wheat & toast;
dry cereal with milk;
boiled egg or two;
scrambled eggs;
fried eggs;
Fried egg sandwich,
etc.
sandwiches are fine too.

Teenagers need 4 each 8oz glasses of milk per day. Adults need one.

Always eat breakfast, it is the most important meal of the day.

Be sure to take a multivitamin-multimineral tablet per day. Ask a Pharmacist which one is best for you.

Lunch: Meat, or chicken, or turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato on it. Onion too if you like them...onions are a vegetable.
Tuna sandwiches or salmon sandwiches are healthy and good too.
Soups and stews make good healthy lunches.
Cold salads too.
Buy wide mouth thermos for hot and cold foods.

Dinner: one meat/fish/chicken/or turkey; one vegetable; one starch such as rice/beans/or potatoes.

Snack on fruits.

Drink: water; or tea; or milk.

Sodas will kill you in the end. Rots teeth; weakens bones; makes skin on your face and body ugly as you age. Drink milk for beautiful skin.

If you are cooking for one person, buy the top brand frozen dinners. We have been eating them for years. I add tossed salad or sliced tomatoes for a side dish. Canned or frozen veggies too.

To be healthy, eat correct balanced meals.

Any tips for going vegetarian?

healthy sandwich recipes for teenagers image

Q. I want to go vegetarian but I want to do it in a healthy way. Also, I am having trouble avoiding meat (especially at school, not alot of vegetarian choices). I have had a bit of a revalation and no longer want to consume innocent little animals. Help please?

Answer
1. Do it slow. You are more likely to stick to it if you make it part of your lifestyle instead of making the change all at once.

2. Read about nutrition requirements and understand everything that you need to eat. You have to make up for the protein with beans and greens. It isn't hard once you figure it out, but you need to be sure you understand what your body needs.

3. Take your lunch to school.

4. Take advantage of the meat substitutes in the grocery store. They make it easy to still pack a sandwich and cook many of the same recipes that you are used to. There are fake turkey slices, fake beef and chicken fajita strips, veggie meatballs, fake hot dogs.

5. Read labels - you will be surprised at how many things have animal fat in them.

6. Don't feel bad when you backslide. It happens. It happened to me a lot when I was working the kinks out of becoming vegeterian. I felt discouraged a lot because I felt like I was out of options as a teenager who really didn't have a lot of control over her environment.

7. Talk to your parents. They may be at a loss as to what to cook. After you become educated on vegeterianism you can give them some recipes. A lot of people are surprisingly open to a vegeterian diet. I talked to my parents about it when I was a teenager and they were very supportive. Of course there were some evenings when I had to cook for myself but thats part of life. Over time they have become more vegeterian also and tofu is a regular part of their meals. However your parents may not want to give up meat. Mine were never big meat eaters to begin with, and my dad was actually looking for a low cholesterol diet at the same time so it all worked out.

8. Don't get bummed out when it is hard to fit with your friends. I felt kind of isolated sometimes because people considered it weird to be vegeterian. It was hard to eat at a friend's house.

I started going vegeterian when I was 16 but wasn't a full vegeterian until about 2 yrs later. It just takes time to make such a big switch, but I am so glad that I did! Good luck! By the way tonight my boyfriend and I ate curry tofu which I cooked. He isn't vegeterian but usually likes my veg cooking.

My staple is beans and rice. I can not live without beans and rice because this is an excellent source of protein. There are hundreds of recipes out there so find one you like, and buy a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker is a vegeterian's best friend because dried beans are a great source of protein and a pressure cooker will cook them in a fraction of the time it takes in a pot (about 30 min compared to several hours)

What is low in calories that tastes good on celery?

Jenna

I'm on a low calorie diet and need to eat more celery. But it tastes like fermented pond water! Peanut butter is way too high in fat and calories and I don't know what else tastes good. Preferrably something under 35 calories.

Answer
If you have an ED and cannot stop munching, you still should not eat something that tastes like fermented pond water.
You can eat lettuce/greens, mushrooms, asparagus, cucumbers, radishes and numerous other foods (if you can stomach anything from the cabbage family).

I used to not like celery either, omitting it in all my recipes. And I like everything with few exceptions, like cinnamon and honey (childhood traumas), spicy food and poultry white meat or skin. White meat is too dry, the skin is too fatty so dark meat is perfect.

Then I stopped smoking and had to munch all day long for 2 weeks on celery/raw carrots feeling like Bunny Rabbit. My natural tan skin turned fake orange tan. With celery, I would end up with a dry ball of fiber in my mouth (like a chewing gum) that I would not swallow so I would spit it out as too much fiber will constipate you. You can spit out a dry fiber ball in your mouth but once it gets in your intestines, you might get an obstruction and constipation.

It never occurred to me that you would need some dip to eat celery.
That is very American, like eating apples or bananas with peanut butter.
Btw, natural peanut butter is very healthy, in moderation, like 2Tbsp, as you need those calories of good protein and good fats to feed your brain and organs (you sound like your brain needs it).
A PB&J sandwich is healthy…peanut butter and jelly spread between 2 slices of whole-wheat bread. You get your carbs, your protein, your fats, your fiber and your vitamins/minerals.
What more can you ask for?

Pea-nuts are not nuts…they’re legumes from the same family as peas. Try Nutella (from Europe, so it does not have crappy additives that Americans still allow in their processed food) and it has true nuts (hazelnuts) and chocolate, to make it yummy, provide antioxidants and act as a natural antidepressant (makes you feel better if you feel bad and makes you feel good if you don’t feel bad).


Now I like celery if I “peel” it (peel away those outside strings) and cook it with soups (the “fermented pond water” taste goes away if cooked in water). I also like raw (peeled) celery, cut tiny, tiny, in my tuna sandwich to add crunchiness. I would guess the strong taste of tuna overwhelms the taste of the 2Tbsp of celery.

When I was a teenager I did not like garlic, onions, Brussels sprouts or raw seafood.
I bet I would have hated broccoli too, if I would have been exposed to it (I was not).
Now I love all of those and I use garlic a lot, I make onion soup, I love Brussels Sprout Parmentier (with garlic and roasted potatoes), and I like sushi.

If you’re a teenager, you do not have adult taste buds yet. Because if you’re a teenager, you don’t get food cravings for low calorie food as you need a lot of calories to grow. You get cravings for meat and potatoes and anything high carbs like cookies/cakes/candies…and bread with chocolate (or Nutella) and lots of milk, cheese and ice-cream.
You should not get craving from veggies from the cabbage family (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, turnips, collard greens, kale…) or celery, asparagus, beets and artichoke.

I went out of my way to make artichokes fun to eat for my kids…fresh artichokes with the prickly ends of the leaves cut off (not artichoke hearts coming from a can that you use for salads), pressure cooked and served with their favorite dip (I used vinaigrette but did not mind if they wanted to use…ketchup). You eat one leaf at a time until you get to the heart and still I miserably failed to make them appreciate artichokes, because they did not have the taste buds for it...yet...as it did not have enough calories for their need (I still love artichokes).

I stay away from hummus for political reason, as some countries fight about some other countries stealing their recipes…trying to find any reason to go to war. They are worse than a daughter-in-law stealing a recipe from her mother-in-law. The Lebanese are like “the Israelis stole our hummus recipe” but then the Israelis recipe tastes better so now the Lebanese are pissed off.
If I want chickpeas, I’ll just make a couscous and if a Berber comes into my kitchen claiming that I stole a couscous recipe, I could mention that my father was Berber so YOU shut up.

I wonder which country made the first bread and could claim “protected status”.



You don’t need some dip to help you swallow some food that tastes crappy to you.
Ditch the celery.
Eat enough to cover your BMR + growth (-21).
Eat enough calories to cover your BMR or your body will adapt to a low caloric intake and lower your metabolism, making it very hard for you to use your body fat. And then, as soon as you would eventually start eating normally again, you would make body fat very easily, because you would have a lower metabolism and therefore regain all the weight you lost and keep going up, unless you exercise A LOT.

Lunch ideas for school ? Something different and healthy ? And suitable for a 15 year old ?

Renee

I'm about to be enrolled into a new school and this school doesn't have a cafeteria so all students have to bring their own food.I'm tired of traditional lunches and I don't care for juvenile things like pb&j sandwiches.I need something that is different,healthy,tasty,suitable for a teenager.And something besides sandwiches. Any ideas ? Vegetarian/vegan recipes are acceptable.
@ Jenna,lol.

Answer
Chuck away the pb&j and put your mind into gear for some really good sandwiches

Asparagus rolls are well know and are popular, tomato and egg, cheese and vegemite, jam, honey, marmalade, cucumber, cold meats, lettuce, grated carrots and raisins, cheese and pineapple.
Test and explore combinations, types of garnishes, chutneys, pickles, relishes, different types of bread, buns and rolls,Hamanan

Original Question

What are some fast school lunches for a teenager?

Q. I'm a freshman in high school and I have to make my lunch to bring to school. I can bring things that need to be refrigerated and things that need under a minute in the microwave. I don't really like sandwiches very much, or at least not normal ones like peanut butter and jelly just because I've had them way too much. I kind of want something more unique for lunch. I can cook just about anything, so any recipe will work, it just needs to be fast! I really can't spend more than 20 minutes on lunch each day unless it's a special occasion, and even 20 minutes is pushing it. Thanks! :)

Also, I know I already posted this but it's in the wrong category.

A. I'm 15 and I bring in loads of stuff. For instance if I have pasta or rice for dinner, I put it into a plastic tupperware and for lunch it becomes a salad, and I can just grab it in the morning. However you may not like that. Other days I bring in soup and bread, however this requires heating in the morning and carrying in a thermos flask- this may take too long however it only takes me 10 minutes. Also I sometimes make pasta fresh sometimes and put it into a flask too to keep it warm- this takes 15 minutes however while its cooking I eat breakfast, get dressed, brush my teeth etc.
If I bring a sandwich I put philly cream cheese in it with tomato, or hummus, or cheese and cucumber, depends every day. Im vegetarian however in your sandwich you could put turkey or chicken or beef if you eat those, maybe even cold meats from dinner the night before. WIth the sandwich I normally bring a healthy equivalent to crisps like rice cakes or veg sticks like carrots, and a piece of fruit. Also maybe something chocolatey or sweet too, alongside a drink like a smoothie or juice and a piece of fruit.
