   Stir fry – Put a bunch of vegetables in the wok with a touch of oil, serve over short grain brown rice.

   Soup – Boil vegetables, throw in some noodles, drop in a raw egg or some cooked beans, how about a few shrimp.

   Tortillas, beans & cheese. Slice in some tomatoe and avocado.

   Sandwiches – Get nice crusty bread, good cheeses, fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, tuna fish. Also smoked fish on bagels.

   Pilaf – Rice with herbs & seasonings, mix in toasted nuts & seeds, stir in some minced broccoli, carrot or cauliflower, cook using broth for more flavor, add fresh melon on top

   GAZPACHO: a cold vegetable soup. Start with some V8 vegetable juice or tomato juice in a blender, add 1/2 chopped peeled cucumber with seeds removed, chopped stalk of celery and carrot, either some onion or I like onion powder, pinch of garlic powder, 1 Tbsp. worchester sauce, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, fresh ground pepper and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. Process until smooth. Serve in bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream (optional) and a few chives, flat leaf parsley or green onion pieces for color.
   Healthy, all veggies, packed with vitamins & delicious!

    Healthy you say… Bake or grill your meats, never fry!

    Fish! use dill, garlic & onion powder – yum!
    Turkey tenderloin or breast even a butter ball!
    Chicken! With lite Itailian dressing or just seasoned…

    Vegetable dish, cucumbers, radishes, cerley sticks, carrots.

    Dairy products can be high in fat, use cheeses in your meals only on occasions.

    This is what we do at our house:

    Check out the sealed PRE-COOKED meats such as beef tips, roast with gravy, pork roast, chicken, baked ham, pork chops, meatloaf.
    Just pop into your microwave; directions are on the packages.
    You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find them.
    Use this for your meat dish, with a side dish or two of vegetables, rice, or potatoes which can all be found on shelves dry or canned, or in the freezer section and they are already cooked. All are delicious.

    Canned fruits make wonderful desserts. My husband has canned sliced pears EVERY night. lol

    Run over to the deli section of your grocery store and pick up a roasted or fried chicken. The deli will also have side dishes.

    There are many plastic tubs of all types of shaved meats for sandwiches…my favorites are baked ham, roast beef, but there are many more to choose from. Pile the meat on bread or rolls, add tomatoes and lettuce. Yummmmm!

    A small slice of watermelon for dessert.

    We go a step further…during the hottest part of summer, we use the stiff type of paper plates as often as possible. Just throw away, no clean up.
