Answer 1

This is a really easy recipe that is delish, sticks to your ribs, is pretty inexpensive and looks really good too! It will easily feed a family of 4 with leftovers.

Take about 1 lb. of stewing beef. They are the big chunks, and cut them in half or quarters depending on the the size of them. You want them to be a little smaller than bite sized. Season this with at least salt and pepper. If you have it add garlic and onion powder. You can let this marinate for at least an hours but overnight is better. Then brown the meat on all sides in olive oil, then add about 2 cups of beef stock. Let this simmer until the meat is tender. It will take about 1/2 hour. If the beef stock runs out before the 1/2 hour you can add more stock or water. Once this is done remove the meat from the pan. Add a little more olive oil and add 1 small container of mushrooms (my mother hates mushrooms so I omit them when I am making it for her and it's still really good) and let them brown up. It should take about 5 minutes. Don't salt them until then are already brown. Then add the meat back to the pan with 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 container of sour cream. Do not let this boil, just come to a slight simmer. Taste for seasoning, you might need to add more salt and pepper depending on how you seasoned the other ingredients. Spoon this over egg noodles and garnish with fresh chopped chives. It will take about 1 hour to prepare from beginning to end, but it's really low maintenance.

This one is a little more pricey, but it's so worth it for a special occasion.

Another really good meal that we love is basically a seafood pasta. I don't know any other way to explain it. In a sautee pan add olive oil, 1 medium diced onion, 2 cloves of diced garlic and cook until they are transluscent. Season with salt and pepper. Then add 1/2 c. white wine and 1 large can of diced tomatoes. I like San Marzano, but any will do. Once this has come to a simmer add any seafood you like. I generally add clams and shrimp. Sometimes I add a firm white fish. If you do this add the fish first, then add the seafood about 5 minutes later. Put this on top of angel hair pasta. I like to place the fish on the pasta first in a nice pattern, then pour the sauce on top. Garnish with fresh ripped basil. YUM! Serve with crunchy bread.

Answer 2

Try a "Chicken Tikka with Basmati Rice"

For the Tikka you will need -
1 x chicken breast for each person
1 fresh pineapple ( you can use tinned slices for convenience)
1 coconut
250ml of fresh double cream
Tikka Curry Powder (saves having to purchase all the individual spices)
1/4 litre of Pineapple juice
150ml Passata (seived tomato)

To prepare -
slice the pineapple and cut two thick slices (15 to 20mm thick) into chunks (or cut two tinned pineapple slices into chunks) and put aside
Puncture the coconut and drain the milk into a glass and put aside
break open the coconut and shell about 1/3 of it.
Grate the coconut onto a plate and put aside
cut the chicken breasts into cubes and put aside.

Take a good sized pan and put the passata and the pineapple juice into it. Put the pan on a medium to high heat, to bring to a high temperature but not boiling.
Next, add a couple of tablespoons of the Tikka Curry Powder and stir it all in. Now, add the chicken, the coconut milk and the pineapple chunks. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to allow it to simmer. after five (5) minutes, add the grated coconut and the double cream. Let it simmer, stirring ocassionally, for around 10 minutes.

Whilst the Tikka is cooking, put one (1) handfull of Basmati Rice per person into a large pan. Add salt and a knob of butter. Boil a kettle and pour enough boiling water to cover the rice, into the pan. Bring to boil and keep the heat high (boiling) for 10 minutes. After five (5) minutes, you can add a bit of Saffron to the rice.

When the Tikka has been simmering for 10 minutes, turn off the heat but leave the pan on the stove. Boil some more water in a kettle. Remove the rice from the stove and empty it into a strainer (small collander). Pour the boiling water over the rice to rinse the starch out. The rice should now be nice and fluffy in texture. Put a large portion of rice on each plate and make a large circle around the edge of the plate. Now put a good sized portion of the Chicken Tikka inside the rings of rice.

Hints - you can use "Wild Basmatti Rice" if you can get it, the flavour is much stronger.
During cooking, you can taste the Tikka and add more Tikka Curry Powder to suit your taste.

Answer 5

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMpEh

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
