Answer 1

I hope these help and good luck!!!
QUICK PAN NACHOS

1 large can refried beans
1 lb hamburger
1 package taco seasoning
3-4 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 medium can sliced olives
1 large or 2 med chopped tomatoes
1 bunch green onions chopped
sour cream
guacamole
salsa

Brown hamburger and add taco seasoning as package instructs. While hamburger simmers, spread the refried beans into the bottom of the baking dish and place in the oven under the broiler until beans are hot all the way through.
Top beans with hamburger mixture and then spread cheese evenly over the top.

Place back under the broiler until cheese is melted. Top with green onions, tomatoes and olives.

Cut into wedges and spoon onto a plate, top with sour cream, guacamole and salsa then surround with corn chips.

Scoop up with the chips and enjoy


FAST AND EASY MINI PEPPERONI ROLLS

1 roll crescent rolls from the dairy case
slices of pepperoni
pre-packaged cubed cheese (any flavor you like)

Preheat oven to the temperature on the package of the crescent rolls.
Separate each crescent roll and add about 4 pieces of pepperoni and 4 pieces of cheese to each section. Press all the edges closed so that you can’t see anything inside. Put on a cookie sheet and bake according to the crescent roll directions (about 11-15 min. or until golden brown.

Serve warm.

You can make the little pillows ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake them to save time.

Don’t think that you stuffed too much in there. You didn’t!

HEALTHY & EASY TUNA SANDWICHES

1 can tuna
4 tbsp non-fat sour cream
2 tbsp sweet relish
1/4 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
dash of salt and pepper

Mix tuna, non-fat sour cream, sweet relish (add more or less to taste), cheese and seasoning. Spread on toasted bread or on crackers - it's delicious!
(I think it's best with whole wheat or squaw bread.)

Answer 2

You could try something like:

Use a sheet pan and put one whole wheat sub bun per person on the sheet pan cut open butterfly style.

Now using some pizza sauce, coat each bun lightly with sauce and then garnishe with healthy vegtables such as tomatoes, red onions, julienned bell peppers and celery sticks and then add some slices of chicken or turkey breast and then grated monterey pepper jack cheese. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread appears toasted. Serve hot

Answer 4

make something that includes meat in it, like mince pork...one that i don't know is amazingly "healthy" is a stir-fry called "rurne"-it doesn't have lots of vegetables in the recipe. but you can add lots of vegetables to it if you want.
don't try to look for it on the net, i just did and nothing came up.
i won't write it out in case it's not really what you were thinking. tell me if you want me to write it out anyway.

a great site to find stuff is on the australian "ready steady cook" website... http://www.readysteadycook.ten.com.au/home.asp

they are on live tv, and get given random ingredients and then they have to think up recipes on the spot using all the ingredients. the recipes they do with the "helpers" take 20 mins, and the recipes they do themselves take 10 mins. so they are good options time-wise, and also in terms of complexity, they aren't too difficult and most are very easy to make presentable.

i saw them making this one, it looked sooooooooo good, and it's obviously healthy.

http://www.readysteadycook.ten.com.au/recipe.asp?ri=2825

you could make those, simple, and being prawns it's healthy, and you could also make up your own salad or something...

http://www.readysteadycook.ten.com.au/recipe.asp?ri=3081

that does have cream in it...but the rest of it is healthy! maybe you could leave out the cream...

anyway, good luck, shout out if you need different ideas...:) hope i helped!

Answer 5

Mac-n-cheese with browned hamburger upload to it-you may upload some vegetables to it in case you desire. somewhat uncomplicated, rapid and occasional-fee. How approximately peanut butter cookies-easiest to make--a million cup peanut butter, a million cup sugar a million egg combination jointly roll into balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet bake at 350 till finally completed. would be delicate while completed, hardens while cooled. Bake for basically a jiffy till finally gently browned.
