Hope this helps getting some ideas. There are so many things you can do! You have a great list to work with. Need more ideas or specifics? Write me--I'll share
For 10 points???? how many recipes???
Carrots, dash of water, little brown sugar put in microwave for few mins.. Yummy
Chicken breasts, marinade in lowfat italian dressing put bread crumbs on top of chicken breasts bake in oven (the bread crumbs on top keep chicken from drying out) Or.. forget the marniade and put salsa on top of the chicken breasts
Steam broccli, in small saute pan little olive oil and bread crumbs brown bread crumbs like toast and sprinkle over broccoli . even my kids love it.
Romaine lettuce, mushrooms, onions, peppers, make a yummy salad and top w/grilled chicken breast
Whole wheat pasta and tomato sauce. Make homemade sauce. buy plain tomato sauce in a can and just let it cook in oven for hours.. Yummy. Maybe add browned beef to sauce brown in pan drain off fat and put in sauce in oven to completely cook. Meat will add more flavor to sauce.
Healthy cooking ... just stay away from prepackaged junk. If you cannot pronounce it.. don't eat it!
Start buying organic when you can. Read up on good organics and bad organics. Get rid of the vegtable oil and use olive oil for EVERYTHING .. I even use it in cakes!
No stick margerine (it has trans fat) Use butter. It is REAL! not created by someone in a lab to stay soft and spreadable even in a 40degree fridge!
What are the health issues EXACTLY . I'll just assume it is a typical case of undernourished AND overweight - which is very common in todays society .
Dinner : grilled chicken breast _with steamed carrots and asparagus - , crunchy is good . fry up some garlic and chilli in a small amount of oil , and mix it through the veg. AFTER they are steamed .
Lunch: ham sandwich with , romain lettuce ( more nutricious than ice berg! ) grated beet , thinly sliced , mushroom , green pepper and sunflower seeds , SERIOUSLY IF HE JUST WORKED A SANDWICH LIKE THIS INTO HIS DAY - HI BODY WOULD THANK HIM FOR IT!!!
Breakfast : Baked beans on toast ( SO nutritous btw. ) or poached egg on toast/with steamed asparagus for dipping ( SO yum ) .
Snacks - eat the apples! , or some carrots , or the sunflower seeds .
That should help you through the next 24hrs.
If you seriously want someone to tell you what to eat , email me . but right now i am 2 busy .
Have cereals and bagels with peanut butter for breakfast, chicken salad sandwiches for lunch,
dinner
Gourmet Meatloaf
Gourmet Meatloaf is made with steak sauce instead of ketchup, cilantro, green peppers and onions on the outside, and ham, cheese and broccoli rolled up inside for a delicious combination.
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 cup steak sauce
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
15 slices thinly sliced ham
10 slices Cheddar cheese
2 cups chopped broccoli
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg and steak sauce. Mix thoroughly. Blend in soup mix, green pepper, onion, cilantro and garlic.
On a large piece of aluminum foil, pat the beef mixture into a thin, flat rectangle. Layer about 1/2 the ham on top of the beef from end to end. Layer ham with the Cheddar cheese. Layer cheese with remaining ham, then the broccoli.
Using the foil, roll the meatloaf while pinching the ends. Keep aluminum foil around the meat loaf and place on a medium baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Wrap cheese sticks in ham and make pockets in the chicken breasts, place ham-wrapped cheese inside and bake until chicken is cooked through, top with jarred light alfredo sauce and serve over cooked spaghetti noodles.
Take the lean ground beef and make meatloaf, top with a can of condensed tomato soup mixed with 2 tbsp. prepared yellow mustard and 2 tbsp Splenda brown sugar substitute. Serve with steamed asparagus topped with a little leftover alfredo sauce.
In slowcooker (or in a very low-simmering pot) add stew beef, mushrooms, onion, carrots, celery and diced rutabega (makes a great potato substitute if cooked correctly!) and make a beef stew with tomato paste and a little beef stock. (We use low-sodium beef boullion granules and hot water). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Vegetable soup is a great way to add extra vegetables to your diet, use whatever vegetables you like (corn, peas, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, etc.) Add in some shredded cabbage for some extra fiber.
Chop onion, mushrooms, garlic, green peppers very fine (or use a food processor or blender), place in strainer and allow to drain for a half-hour. Add blended vegetables to spaghetti sauce, hamburgers, etc. for added fiber and taste. For hamburgers, you can also add a little worcestershire sauce, form the patties, grill or fry, place on whole wheat buns or bread and top with tomatoes, lettuce and light mayonnaise, mustard or ketchup according to your taste.
Make shepherd's pie by cooking the lean ground beef with vegetables and beef stock, allowing to cook and reduce, add a little water and cornstarch slurry or a little flour and butter roux to the liquid to thicken. Spoon into a casserole or baking dish, top with mashed potatoes and light shredded cheese.
Another quick and easy dinner is to have breakfast for dinner. Cook eggs according to how you like them (fried, scrambled, etc.). Toast bagels or make toast with wheat bread and lightly butter or spread with Philly 1/3 fat cream cheese spread and/or sugarfree or no sugar added jam/jelly. Cook turkey bacon or sausage patties and serve.
For snacks, lightly toast the sunflower seeds in a skillet, moving constantly until you can smell them. Remove from skillet immediately onto paper towels. If they're not already salted, lightly salt them. Spread peanut butter onto apple slices and top with the sunflower seeds.
Serve sliced vegetables with light ranch dressing or light onion dip.
Spread light cream cheese on tortillas, place slices of ham or roast beef or sliced turkey breast on top, then a dill pickle spear or regular pickle. Wrap up the tortilla and secure with toothpicks. Refrigerate until chilled, then cut into slices for serving.
Okay, if your husband loves the thick, fatty ranch dressing on his salads like I do, try this:
Steam a bag of frozen vegetables, like broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, etc. After you have steamed them, add a couple teaspoons of fat-free ranch dressing. Don't make a sauce out of the dressing, just add enough to taste.
I love this stuff b/c I get my vegetables, of course, with a subtle hint of the ranch taste I love, without the fat and calories of a normal salad topped with full-fat ranch dressing.
I guarantee, if you love ranch, you'll love this. This will make anyone love eating their veggies!
Advice;
Steam any vegetable combination you wish to make.
Never fry any foods for him.
Chicken can be steamed as well.
Beef cubes to be done in a pressure cooker or slow cooker, in other words NOT grilled or fried but boiled.
Pasta must boil in water...
NEVER give him more than one starch in one sitting....
Very important tip;
carbohydrates are turned in to glucose when digested hot....
So, always cook whatever you cook for him on that day. THEN LET IT COOL DOWN.
before serving it to him, warm up in a microwave.
That will allow the carbohydrates to "combine" and having combined, more than 60% of them will not turn in to glucose whan re-heatd....
Great diet tip for diabetics....
Good luck
Healthy salsbury steaks...
Use the lean burger to shape into hamburger patties. In a skillet, add a couple of table spoons of EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil-the healthiest cooking oil) and turn the heat to medium high. Add 1 yellow onion sliced thin. When the onion is translucent, remove the onion from the pan and add the hamburger steaks. When the steaks are medium, remove from skillet and pour off any oil. add 1 can of fat free beef broth pre mixed with 1 tbsp corn starch to the skillet. Stir until skillet is deglazed and sauce is thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add sliced fresh mushrooms, optional. Then add the cooked steaks. Serve on a bed of steamed brown rice and top with carmelized onions.
Serve with the brussel sprouts. Just steam the sprouts, then toss with a little I can't believe it's not butter and prepared horseradish.
this is a very healthy meal for "steak and potatoes" types who hate to hate to eat healthy.
Soy taco salad
Prepare 1 package of soy taco filling from Fantastic Foods.
Toss with romaine lettuce, drained white corn, drained black or brown beans, sliced black olives and avacado if you like them. Add sliced bell peppers (red or yellow are prettiest). Drizzle with a few tablespoons (depends on the size of your salad) of Catalina dressing. Skimp on the dressing because that's where the calories are and you don't want it to over power the taco flavor.
Serve immediately (before it wilts) with a small portion of healthy corn chips from the healthfood aisle of your grocery store.
I have fooled MANY with this recipe. Most don't know it's not genuine ground beef until after they've eaten it and I told them! Your guy will never know if you hide the box.
Other pointers:
Substitute plain fat-free yogurt for sour cream whenever possible. It mixes well with ranch powder or taco mix for dips and dressings.
Whole grain is the way to go.
Portion size is everything. Some of the healthiest cooks I know are fat. Their food is healthy but they overdo it. Switch to smaller sized plates if you can so your food looks bigger.
Learn how to make fish tacos. substitute lettuce wraps for the tortilla. Top them with guacamole instead of sour cream. MMM!!!
