So - I'm trying to do this cooking thing. My New Years Resolution was to eat healther, lose some weight ...yada yada But I really want to try to become healthier the right way.
Here's the thing - we are picky eaters...all of us.....well except my daughter.
I don't know what is exactly healthy - and - I don't know anything about cooking really either.
So here's what I'm looking for - Easy - Simple - Food Recipes. We usually just trade off between chicken breast with rice and london broil with mashed potatoes, and pasta. That is the extent of my menu - mainly because we are boring lol. I like gravy on all my meat....hubby doesn't. He won't eat anything green except for salad and broccoli. He also doesnt like anything with "goop" on it. (I think thats some kind of gravy LOL) For instance...you know those Lipton Noodles and sauce pouches....he won't eat them...says they are goopy. He won't eat spaghetti noodles either....don't ask....I don't know LOL. He'll eat other pasta though.
I made chicken parmesan last week and they loved that...but thats not very healthy is it? I can make alfredo with chicken and pasta, and baked ziti. You see.....I NEED HELP!
Any suggestions you have would be great! I appreciate it!
Taco salad is one of my favs! Lettuce, taco seasoned meat, tomato, tad bit of crumpled up tortilla chips or taco shells, cheese and low fat ranch salad dressing. This is served in a regular bowl or on a plate, not in a fried bowl like Taco Ball. The salad dressing sounds weird but just try it lol I don't know if it's diet but I tell myself that it is Simple, easy and great for taco night left overs.
I am not a whiz in the kitchen and kinda boring too so it IS hard. I feel your pain

I make this and just add chopped black olives. The Ranch dressing really works and is one of the family favorites.

What about enchiladas made with extra lean turkey and whole grain tortillas?
Or soup? Grilled cheese on whole grain bread?
Tuna noodle casserole?
Kraft recipes website has a ton of easy meals using their products.
I also like using fake crab for stuff -- that is healthy. Make a crab pasta salad. Pizza is also easy to make. Calzones too:
Take a can of crescent rolls and roll out into a big rectangle. Spread pizza or pasta sauce and your favorite toppings. Top with tons of cheese and fold over. Bake as directed on the can.
Stir fry is also healthy and good, and the combinations are endless.
