What is a good easy meal for a fussy person like me?

Question

I dont eat much and when it comes to cooking i feel like its a chore rather then fun. Could you give me some healthy yet fun things to make and since im fussy it doesn't help. I want to explore the world of yummy food but where to start?

Answer 1

try looking up recipes of things you might like to try and put each of them on a piece of paper and put in something and pick one then you have to make that dish....of you wont feel like making the first one as you are fussy so you will cheat....but you are only cheating your self....i do this sometimes when i dont know what to fix my finacee for supper when she gets home from work and it helps then i dont have to make a decision for the meal...its fun put quite a lot in a box...and allow your self some time for shopping you can put a couple of blanks then you get to choose what to fix....

Answer 2

Get some natural yoghurt, muesli or granola, any seeds/nuts you like and your fave fruits. Wash & slice the fruits, put into a bowl, add all the other ingredients, and mix them up together. If you like, you could add some honey to taste!

If you like chicken, get a chicken breast, some white wine, cream, spring onions and a lemon and mushrooms (if you like them). Also get some nice (organic if you can) potatoes. Peel the potatoes, and halve them if they're big. Then put them in a big pan of boiling salty water, put the lid on, and turn the heat down a bit so they're simmering, and cook for about 20-30minutes until they're cooked through, but still firm. Drain the potatoes and leave them in a colendar to cool.

For the chicken bit of the meal, cut the roots and green scraggly bits off the spring onions (scallions if you're American), wipe them with a damp cloth, and chop them as finely or chunkily as you like. If you're using mushrooms, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any soil, cut off the end of the stalk and either slice finely, or chop into halves or quarters. Heat some oil in a wok or shallow frying pan, and add the spring onions (and mushrooms if using), some salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix them all up, and add the chicken pieces, stirring everything together. When the chicken has turned white (sealed, not completely cooked) add a good glug of white wine, stir, put the lid on, and leave it to simmer for about 20-25 minutes. If the liquid gets a bit low, you can add some more wine, or chicken stock (if you're teetotal this is a good alternative to the wine anyway). While the chicken's cooking and all the flavours of the ingredients are melding together, cut your potatoes into smaller pieces, and make sure they're completely dry (use kitchen towel if they're not). Either deep or shallow-fry the potatoes, (in batches if necessary) until they're golden brown and crispy (or more brown if you prefer). Drain, and put on a kitchen paper-lined plate. The chicken should be cooked by now, so take it off the heat, let it cool a bit, and stir in a little double cream, to thicken and make the sauce. Taste the sauce, and add salt/pepper/more lemon juice until you like it. Serve with the potatoes.

Hope these ideas help!
