NWFlyer 2 #3 August 3, 2005 Salmon and veggies (peppers, onions, zucchini, whatever's fresh) on the grill. Brush each with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper... simple, and delicious."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

windcatcher 0 #6 August 3, 2005 thanks Krisanne! Chad and I just bought some salmon fillets and I want to grill them, so I'll have to add some veggies! Salmon is so good for you, there's talk that it might help lessen the appearance of cellulite/stimulate collagen production or something,plus it has Omega 3's!!! ( great for the skin!)

waltappel 1 #11 August 3, 2005 QuoteAw come on, share please? I'm running out of ideas for healthy meals. Tell me what your fave. healthy meal is. All I can think of cooking is chicken/steak/fish with salad or fresh veggies, black beans and rice, fried rice with veggies and chicken, etc. Help??? This is my favorite quick and easy healthy meal that you can do nearly anywhere. It's especially good when you're on the road: One can of tuna (packed in water). I prefer the fancy while albacore variety (as does my cat). Size depends on how hungry you are. Thoroughly rinse the tuna, drain and put in a bowl. Add coarse-ground pepper to taste. mix well. Add shredded cheese to taste (we're talking a handful of cheese--not just a couple of tablespoons). I prefer shredded Monterrey Jack or some of the nice blends, e.g., Monterrey Jack and Cheddar. Mix really well with a fork and microwave on high for a minute to a minute and a half. It's quick, cheap, healthy, and actually pretty good! I often add picante sauce on top.

karenmeal 0 #13 August 3, 2005 Pork Tenderloin rubbed with chopped up herbs, lemon zest, garlic and olive oil baked in a dish with apple and yam wedges which have been sprinkled with cinnamon. Yum! I like my salmon with some dill, lemon juice, stone ground mustard and salt and pepper on a bed of wilted greens with some corn on the cob or some steamed and seasoned zuchini to go with it. -Karen "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,524 #15 August 3, 2005 Chicken curry (impoverished student version) Skin chicken (whatever was on sale). Saute some onions in a little oil, add the curry powder after they're transparent or browned (however you like them). Add chicken, and cook awhile until nearly done. Add tomatoes, green, red, or yellow peppers, or whatever else is hanging around, and cook until the flavor is blended. Salt and pepper (and probably more curry powder) to taste. Add some water if you like more water. Add some raisins too. Serve over brown rice. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

waltappel 1 #16 August 3, 2005 Quotethanks Walt, that sounds interesting,might have to try it. And Chris, uh, um, ewwwwwwww! I think you'll be surprised at how tasty it is for something that is so quick, easy, and cheap to make. Someting about the pepper and cheese really seems to neutralize the fishy taste. Adding picante on top of that really makes it tasty! Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #17 August 3, 2005 QuoteChicken curry (impoverished student version) Wendy W. Mmmmmmm, that sounds good Wendy!!! And I like the "impoverished student version"!!! That description definitely fits me. I'm not sure if I like the taste of curry, it's been awhile since I've had it but I'm adventurous and need new spices so I bet I'd like it.

peregrinerose 0 #18 August 3, 2005 grilled kabobs with your choice of meat or shrimp, or plain vegies. YUM!! Sauerkraut with low fat turkey sausage. Or turkey sausage kabobs with onions and peppers, put on plate with a bit of ketchup. Use mostly vegies, not much meat.

Sopheavy 0 #21 August 3, 2005 I usually eat salads if I feel like eating healthy. Cesar salad usually. I hate veggies so I have to force myself to eat it. My favorite is turkey burgers. I make my patties thick and season it with Finely chopped onions, a bit of green onions, Salt, and pepper. I grill these until the juices Run clear but do not overcook it. I also prepare some spinach sautéed with fresh garlic. I also sauté some mushrooms with salt and pepper. I add the sautéed mushrooms and spinach, with freshly Diced roma tomatoes and lettuce on buttered toasted burger buns, between the girlled turkey pattie and I never forget to put Helman mayonaise, it's sooo good. It’s delicious with ice tea especially on a nice sunny day with family or friends!---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the storm.

RevJim 0 #22 August 3, 2005 Depends on what YOU consider healthy.... For me, it was last night's meal. 3 baked potatoes, a cup or so of sweet corn, sauteed mushrooms, and a 1.5 pound T-Bone (grilled), with 1% milk. Tonight? Chicken on the grill. I de-skin it, and mix up my own baste of herbs and vegetable oil. The oil burns-drips off, creating more smoke. Smoke=flavor when grilling. Mashed taters, green beans. Can ya tell I'm a "meat and potatoes" kinda guy? My ~100 point cholesterol levels say I'm doing OK... It's your life, live it!
