I am a 16yr old girl living with my parents.
i am beggining to lose my appitite for the food my mum cooks... because its the same thing alot of the time and i get bored of it.
sometimes my mum cooks food i do not like... in this case.. i cook my own dinner later on because its not fair to cook for herself, her bf and my bro... then a different meal for me.
i am now goin to buy my own shopping erry week.. my parents are giving me a section of a cupboard and fridge etc to store my food in..i dont want to spent much more than £20 a week.
i want a healthy balanced diet, i dont like much vegetables but i love fruit.. anyone know a recipe or know a website/ book with easy to make recipes which i can follow for my dinner ?
Thankyou xxx

www.allrecipes.com lets you scale the recipes down or up. That's where I'd start. If you want to get a cookbook, I have one here called Healthy Cooking For Two (or just you). It has some great recipes.
(I know how you feel, my mother seemed to always cook the same things over and over. Maybe that's what wanted to make me learn too and become a cook?)

There is no such thing as a healthy diet without vegetables. Spend $20 in fruit and vegi mart. Try to make a minestrone soup. Learn to cook vegi's or combos of vegies so that you'll like them. Try split pea soup. Get a frozen spinach cook ten min. drain water add little butter and garlic little Parmesan. Good Parmesan, grated as needed will last for a year if wrapped tight, and will enhance many vegie dishes. For budget and health, learn to eat veggies. By the way. i am not a vegetarian. I am a health conscious cook. Good luck!

Here are some sites which contain easy recipes and cooking lessons. Learn to do a good pasta dish and help your mom by cooking dinner for the family. Once you have cooked a variety of foods, you'll be able to read through recipes and see what you think you'd like. Good luck!

You can always buy individual dinners, but if you'd rather cook, you can buy one red or green pepper, depending on what your preference is, one small onion, and two sausages. Chop peppers and onions, and put in a frying pan with sausage, with a little olive oil. While cooking, season with salt and pepper, and for a little bit of an interesting and exciting flavour, use mexican seasoning. Enjoy!
