I just started cooking a year ago, and I love cooking "healthier" food–not necessarily rice cakes and spinach leaves, but not super greasy or goey with sugar and cheese either.

I have a subscription to Kraft’s recipe magazine, and have my grandma’s recipes, but most of them use chicken and fish. While I understand the importance of both, I’m looking to expand my "menu" a bit.

Does anyone have any recipes for any meat (besides chicken and fish) that aren’t too difficult? Thanks!

Beef is the 2nd easiest meat to cook, next to chicken.

If you really want, look into tofu. It takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in. There’s a misconception of it being very disgusting. But that’s only a stereotype of it. Look into it. Try it at least once. Most chinese restaurants in America sell Chicken Tofu. Try that and see what you think. VERY healthy, too.

As for the beef, you can make ALOT of things, like:
Filet of Beef
London Broil
Meatloaf (can be mixed with ground-turkey for a better flavor and a more health concious person)
Salisbury Steak
Meatballs
Stroganoff
Pepper Steak
Beef Fajitas
Ribs
Hungarian Goulash
Chili

Also, look into the book, "The New American Chef." That should be of BIG help for you.

Best of luck and happy cooking!!

Please — something with few ingredients that’s healthy and delicious!!!
I dont have an oven. LOL.

Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Stuffing:
1) Sun-dried Tomatoes and fresh basil
2) Spinach and Ricotta Cheese

First cut a pocket into the chicken length wise then stuff with either stuffing, closing with a toothpick. Dredge chicken in four and saute in a pan with a little oil. After chicken is cooked through add 3/4 C. Chicken Broth and 1/4 C. Balsamic Vinegar, cover and simmer for 5-7 mins. Enjoy.

I’m trying to lose weight but I have one major problem, I’m a picky eater. I don’t have much time to cook because I’m a full time college student and I also have a job. I’m looking for simple recipes to make for lunch and dinner. I don’t eat any seafood and I prefer chicken over beef. I also don’t eat tomatoes. If you can help me in any way I would much appreciate it. Also if it helps any I’m trying to eat less then 20 fat grams a day.

Chicken salad is the best way to go. You can put little twists on it to it’s more than just a chicken salad too

its been over 5 months since i had my son and i can’t shake off the weight i gained during the pregnancy… i know exercise is the key to melt fat, but its hard when i work full time go to school full time and be a mom full time. so i am looking for healthy recipes.
Thanks in advance

Apart from fish and chicken why not try some chick pea recipes. They are a cheap low fat low calorie high fibre form of protein. You can substitute them for meat in caseroles. chickpea curry is wonderful (just google the recipe) and you can serve them mixed with vegetables and dried apricots with cous cous flavoured with a veg stock cube and any other seasoning to your taste.
lentils again are a low calorie low fat form of protein. You can make lentil soup. lentil (daal) curry or substitute them partly or wholly for meat in stew and casseroles. you can also make a great lentil and nut roast to substitute for a joint of meat (just google it fot the recipe – and its cheap and feeds the whole family for a fraction of the price pf a joint).
There is nothing wrong with eating lean cuts of pork ot beef on your diet also – it doesn;t have to be just fish or chicken.

I need a recipe because I’m trying to create a healthy lifestyle to clear my acne. Are there any recipes that you know of, please comment. I’ll be making it tonight.
Thanks,

My brother had a hard time with acne as a teenager and was told to avoid fried foods and chocolate. That didn’t work for him. He later (but not much later) found out by having allergy tests done, that he was allergic to milk and he had been drinking a gallon of it a day (growing boy).

So, I recommend you get allergy tests done to determine what is really causing the problem and your acne may just heal up perfectly.

In the meantime, here’s a nice recipe for you to use that is healthy and low-fat.

Chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks or breast)
1 stalk celery – chopped
1/4 yellow onion – chopped
1 carrot – chopped

Put water in a skillet and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, pour out the water and spray the pan (this method keeps the spray from burning). Add your onion and sauce until translucent. Add your celery and carrot and cook in the pan for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the mixture into a saucepan large enough to hold the vegetables and the chicken. Add the chicken to the skillet and lightly brown the outside of the chicken (skin on or off – your choice). Place the chicken in the saucepan with the veggies. Add water to cover and if you have either chicken base or a bouillon cube, add that to the water (or if you have a can of bouillon – use that instead of the water), Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, adding a little water if needed. The chicken should be done by then. Remove the chicken and veggies from the liquid and set aside. Place a little flour in a bowl and add cold water to it enough to make a paste. Slowly add that while stirring, to your liquid. That will thicken up the liquid for you. If it gets too thick, add a little more water. Season with black pepper. Once it’s the right thickness, you can either add the veggies and chicken back to it or serve the gravy over them with rice or potatoes.

Enjoy!
