I don’t like spending an hour or more cooking only to eat a meal in less than 15 minutes and have leftovers that are wasted. Plus there’s always the chance that I’ll flub the recipe and it will be inedible or disappointing. I’m not interested in counting calories or losing weight, but rather I want to start eating a whole lot more veggies and fresh food. I was raised on pork chops, meat loaf, fried chicken, spaghetti, etc. I have no idea how to cook interesting veggie dishes. Anyone have recommendations for websites or books that sound like they might help?

I highly recommend a subscription to one of the Reiman Publication’s cooking magazines. Here is one of their online links called Cooking For Two. Very simple, delicious, and easy meals/recipes.

This page from the site has recipe access to many, many vegetable side dishes for two:

I’ll share one of mine:

Dinner:
steamed pesto chicken breasts (serves 2)

In your steamer, assemble 2 6-oz chicken breasts, 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 4 Tablespoons fresh basil, minced fine, 4 cloves minced garlic, dash each of salt and pepper, 1/4 cup white wine, and 2 Tablespoons toasted pine nuts. Steam for 20 min., or until chicken is all the way cooked.

Serve with brown rice pilaf (serves 2)

Saute 1 cup shiitakes, sliced (or other mushrooms), one med. onion, minced, and 1 clove of garlic, minced, in 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken broth. When onions are translucent, add 1 C. of cooked brown rice, and season with Spike. Heat rice through and serve.

Awesome green beans:

1 lb green beans
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 oz prosciutto, cut in tiny pieces
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Brown prosciutto pieces in pan, and toast sesame seeds. Set aside. In skillet, heat olive oil and cook green beans until tender. Toss with sesame seeds and prosciutto.

One of my ‘hints’ is to use chicken or beef broth when sauteeing anything, instead of olive oil or butter – serves the same function, while adding NO fat, and almost no calories (only 10 cals. for 1 cup of this stuff.)

Try looking at WebMD since they have loads of healthy recipes and you can sign up and have them sent to your email. They send a few each week. Most of my recipes are healthy ones and my favorites or I would not be making them. Most recipes also can be changed to become healthy or better for you than how they are made up. Just need some experience.

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!!
