Answer 1

This is something that is very easy and very good for you, it makes the house smell nice and inviting:

2 skinless/boneless chicken breasts cut in bite size chunks
2 chicken bullion cubes
6 cups water
I can of hominy
1 cup of sliced carrots
1 small onion chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
1 peeled potato diced
1 teaspoon of tarragon, rose marry or cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste

you can just add all ingredients together and turn on the heat and it will be done in 1/2 hour. Good with cheesy bread.
Enjoy!

Answer 2

Give you one of my old ones when family got bored like you did. Mini Home Made Pizzas (you may have to double receipt) 2 cans of pre-made biscuits to bake 1 or 2 cans Contindina Pizza Sauce 1 bag Shredded Monzerella Cheese 1 pkg. Pepperoni 1 can of Mushrooms As children are small I would suggest you grind or chop pepperoni and mushrooms in a food processor or chop fine. Pat out or use a rolling pin to flatten biscuits until thin (if you want, use a glass and indent each biscuit for the sauce to prevent it from going over side of biscuit) and place on pizza pans or cookie sheets. Put pizza sauce on top and top it off with mushrooms, pepperoni and monzerella cheese. (you can add other items also if you'd like) Bake in oven at 400 degrees until brown or cheese melts (or check bottom of biscuits) Let the kids watch you make them (Daddy too) and you'll all have a ball and an enjoyable well balanced meal too.

Answer 3

I make enormous chopped salads with anything I can find: lettuce, spinach, bell peppers, green onions, cheese, hardboiled eggs, sliced leftover meats, pine nuts, tomatoes, avocadoes...even my husband will eat that!

Here's a recipe I made just last night:

Vegetable frittata

Wash and chop finely the following vegetables:

a head of lettuce
a bunch of spinach
a bunch of parsley
a bunch of green onions
3 leeks
a green bell pepper (optional)

Toss the vegetables together with a half cup of chopped walnuts, almonds or pistachios and a half cup of flour.

Spray cooking spray on a 13" x 9" baking pan (LOTS of cooking spray!) and place the vegetable mixture in it.

Beat 8 eggs (or use Eggbeaters), add a half cup of skim milk and 2 tablespoons of ground pepper. Pour egg mixture over the vegetables and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the frittata before serving.

Answer 4

Lately, Ive been making healthy bean salads starting with a variety of dried beans, softened then cooked till al dente. Top with dressing of choice - add chopped onion, garlic, veggies, cheese - whatever your choice is. Beans (and tofu) take on the flavor of whatever is around them so they are very versatile.
If you toss in rice or Quinoa or bulgar or something, you create a perfect protein, better than a meat dish!
Look into Quinoa if you are not familiar with it. Cheap, easy, and VERY high in protein
