My dad is concerned about his health so he asked me to find some healthy recipes. Do you know any that taste great but are healthy?
Thanks.
P.S I already know fruits and veggies and water are good for you. But what else?
Answer
The main thing is to eat balanced meals.
Breakfast:
Oatmeal is GREAT for getting rid of cholesterol.
100% Orange juice (no sugar added-red the container), or grape juice (no sugar added).
One piece of toast.
Lunch:
Healthy sandwiches.
Hot stews or soups in wide mouth thermoses for at work (don't forget the spoon).
Cold chicken salads in wide mouth thermoses for work/school (don't forget the fork and crackers).
Fruit for dessert.
Dinner:
A balanced plate such as:
One meat/or fish/or chicken/or turkey (no to sausages).
One vegetable.
One starch which can be rice, or potatoes, or beans, or corn.
Fruit for dessert.
********************************************
1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages such as the following. You can make two or three meals out of them:
Beef tips with gravy,
Roast with gravy,
Pork roast,
Chicken,
Baked ham,
Pork chops,
Meatloaf,
etc.
Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.
Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.
.
You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.
.
Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag...add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.
.
Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.
.
Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches. Go to this video to see how to make a quick grilled cheese sandwich:

.

.
You can buy all types of salad greens in large packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.
.
2. The top brands of microwave frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Follow directions. Look for the words "No Preservatives" marked on the box or package.
Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.
Top brands of dinners that are found on shelves. No fridge needed. Add water, microwave. These are good to take to school or work. Follow directions on the containers.

.
4. Supermarket deli's have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often...they are delicious.
.
5. Buy a crock pot. You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.
There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy crock pots at places such as your grocery store, Walmart, and etc.
Here are 1,160 crock pot recipes:

What would be your advice for my first day at an university?
RASSberry
I would be starting the first semester on Monday and I am utterly clueless as to what to expect. I am hoping you will shed some light on what to pack, how to act and some hints as what to avoid. Basically any help offered would be greatly appreciated!
Answer
IF you have a car, don't advertise it. People will glom onto you because you have one and you will find yourself with a ton of 'friends' who will be hitting you up for rides and wanting you tobe the designated driver. Be warned.
If you have money, same warning. People glom onto that, too. Don't grunge it up, but don't over dress either. Play it casual. Definitely don't take a top of the line computer or stereo to college with you . Things sometimes have a tendency to 'walk' out of dorm rooms when you aren't looking.
Schedule, if possible , at least an hour on your long days for a lunch period. You'll need it. On LONG days, I loved it when I could schedule 3 hours, then I'd take an alarm clock, curl up for a nap in a private cubicle in the library and take a power nap. REALLY helped, let me tell you. I had classes that semester from 7 a.m. til 5p.m. so that nap was awesome. I'd grab a sandwich, take a nap , then re-read what was assigned and be fresh for class. It was great.
Don't take any cherished items from home that you would be broken hearted if they got stolen or broken to the dorm with you. Kids away from home tend to go a little nuts and aren't as respectful of each others things as they should be and accidents happen. So leave grammy's quilt at home , at least til Junior year, when you're sharing an apartment with some trusted friends or something.
IF you are going to buy a microwave/coffee maker or whatever for your room, don't just go to walmart or whaever, and buy those cutesy little trendy colored pieces of junky appliances that are so popular right now. No. Invest in a good, solid microwave and coffee maker. One that will LAST more than a semester and won't be a fire hazzard. I looked at some of those trendy little disposable units the other day and was absolutely shocked at how cheap and dangerously made they were. Downright scarey. Seriously so. And instead of a toaster, get a toaster oven, much more versatile. You can a lot more with one in the same amount of space. Use your head. You might pay a little more but you GET more out of it.
And as far as that goes -- a coffee pot makes excellent iced tea... just put tea bags ( 4 individual tea bags makes 2 quarts of tea ) in where the coffee goes , brew with 2 cups of hot water and sweeten to taste. I personally put 1.5. cups of sugar to 2 quarts of strongly brewed tea, pour it over ice and it makes almost a gallon of sweet tea for me and my friends onc
