   check out foodnetwork.com and go under the “healthy eating” tab. if you don’t like seafood, just eat chicken or lean meats instead with lots and lots of vegetables and some sort of grains like a bit of rice.

   Asian Steak Topped with Bell Pepper Stir-Fry

   2 tablespoons Thai-style chili sauce*
   1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
   2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
   2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
   2 10- to 12-ounce New York steaks
   1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
   1 medium onion, halved, sliced
   2 medium red bell peppers, cut into
   4 green onions, chopped
   1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

   preparation

   Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk chili sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and ginger in medium bowl; add steaks and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
   Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape most of marinade off steaks and back into bowl. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper; add to skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn steaks over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes longer for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
   Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell peppers; sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add green onions and all remaining marinade from steaks. Bring to boil. Stir in cilantro. Cut steaks crosswise in half. Divide steaks among 4 plates. Spoon vegetables over steaks and serve.

   Big yummy salads that have protein added to them is a good way to go … think chef salads. Add chicken, strips of steak, and lots of low-calorie veggies and you’ll have a healthy, easy and quick to make meal.

   Center your meals around a little meat, or pasta, or rice, and add lots of veggies. Roll up taco fillings in big crisp romaine lettuce leaves instead of tortillas – add cheese and salsa, all the things you’d normally put in a taco, in the lettuce instead. Roll up low fat lunch meats and cheese inside lettuce as well … all these ideas will give you a lot of filling protein without a lot of starch and fat.

   Have no idea as to what kind you want. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert or snacks. Your question is to random. Just do a web search for healthy recipes. Might check Mayo Clinic;s web site or Web MD since they offer recipes.
