I saw this recipe on the biggest loser and I think its easy and yummy and you can change it to what you got on hand!.!.
Ingredients!.!.!.
Boneless, skinless chicken (cubed)
Summer squash and/or spinach
Mushrooms
Green Peppers
Onions
Spagetti Sauce
Add a small amount of olive or canola oil to pan and fry up chicken till cooked through, then remove from pan, add a little more oil and cook veggies for about 10 minutes (I just cook it till I like them), then add chicken back to pan and pour spagetti sauce over chicken and serve!. Yum!
If you dont have those veggies you can exchange them for ones you do have!
also what helps me is keeping healthier stuff stocked up, like veggies/fruits (if getting canned make sure no added salt or sugar), lots of chicken, if you like mayo try mayo with canola oil, I think it taste ok (way better then light mayo), 2% cheeses, light sour cream, milk and butter for cooking, etc!.
Heres a yummy mashed potatoe recipe that doesnt even need a gravy!.!.!.!. (its a weight watchers recipe)
4-5 Red potatoes, mostly peeled, cut into good-sized chunks (example full sized potato cut into 4ths)
4-6 Garlic Cloves, peeled
2/3 C Fat Free Sour Cream
4 Tbsp Light Butter
In large pan add potatoes & garlic cloves add enough water to cover!. Boil for about 10 minutes over med-high heat!. Drain water from pan!. Add sour cream (about 2/3 cup or so) and 4 tbsp of butter and mash well!. Add salt and pepper!. Serve!.
Another thing I try to do is take normal recipes and just make them healthy, trim fat from meat, add a salad to dinner, etc!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
