A few meals for you Betty Hindmarch...... “ Not only can cooking for yourself provide some much-needed alone time, but a healthy, home-cooked meal can help you feel energized for whatever life throws your way. ” HERE ARE SOME MEALS YOU CAN THROW TOGETHER, SO EASY THEY DON’T NEED A REAL RECIPE! Use whatever you have and chop and change these light meals to suit your lifestyle. A handful of this and a pinch of that and you make lovely meals for yourself.... Healthier Taco Salad Chop and sauté half an onion and half a bell pepper. When they start to brown, add in ground turkey, or beef, tofu, or veggie crumbles till cooked, sprinkling in taco seasoning. Combine meat, onions, and peppers with your favorite greens (spinach works nicely). Add in sliced avocado, corn, and (if you’re in the mood for some crunch) broken tortilla chips. Drizzle ranch dressing on top. (Ranch dressing comes in bottles) Tomato, Basil, Mozz Sandwiches Drizzle olive oil on two slices of ciabatta bread or any crusty type of bread. Top with fresh sliced mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and basil; add in your favorite Italian meat, like prosciutto or salami, and sprinkle black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper on top. Put the two halves together and cook in a pan over medium heat, flattening with a spatula, until cheese is totally melted. Asian Shrimp Stirfry Sauté leftover vegetables like chopped mushrooms, onions, peppers, carrots, and celery in sesame oil. When they’ve softened, add in shrimp and stir fry sauce. Cook until shrimp are pink (about 3-4 minutes). Add in a beaten egg for the last minute; stir to scramble. Serve over rice. Balsamic Pasta Saute shrimp or chicken strips in balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Add cooked angel hair pasta and toss with more balsamic, olive oil, fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic. Add thinly sliced mozzarella cheese and inhale.
