I am tired of the same old dinners night after night. I thought maybe some of you have some good recipes and healthy ones with maybe chicken, pork chop or any meat you find to be good in a dish. The same meal every week are getting boring.

I need a little Zing! in my supper.


Come on ladies give me some good ones!!

Kim, I'll look later today and give you something. I have tons and tons of great healthy recipes. Asian chicken with basmati rice is one that comes to mind. I'll dig it up for you this afternoon and post it.
 
Will do... Kim I also thought of something else. Go to www.meals.com. They have literally thousands of recipes and they have the nutritional information for most of them. They have a great search engine to help you find what you are looking for, i.e. main ingredient, etc.
 
Kim - allrecipes.com is another great source for recipes - there is nutritional info for each recipe, and user ratings for a lot of them - so you can see right away which ones are worth trying because they have 4 or 5 stars. I've gotten a lot of great recipes from All Recipes - you can create your own free account and make a virtual "recipe box" to store all your favorites in one place. :)
 
Emily - I use allrecipes also... it is a very good site.

www.uExpress.com is also good. It plans a whole week of menus for you and gives you a shopping list. It provides nut. info also.
 
I do this for dinner when I'm in a rush. I mostly use it for breakfast.

1 cup egg whites
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 Tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 - 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1 Teaspoon of sweetener

scramble in a pan, just like scrambled eggs.

When I first saw this recipie, I thought it sounded hideous but it is really delicious! Really good comfort food and really clean too!
 
Well, my favorite (& I think I've posted this before) is seafood kabobs. I don't know if you can really call it a recipe b/c there's not much cooking involved, but basically you just get a lb of shrimp, a lb of scallops, one red pepper, one green pepper, one onion, cut them up into bite sized pieces, skewer them, & grill them for about 5 minutes.

For carb eaters make up some rice & place the kabobs over it. Marinade is optional.

I love this b/c I can cut up all the stuff, put it in individual containers, & then eat it whenever I want. Obviously you can substitute steaks, chicken, whatever for the seafood, or mix & match. Some people like mushrooms on the kabobs also but I'm not a big fan of fungus. x(
 
Here's the recipe Kim...

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken, cut in cubes

Combine the chicken with the following marinade and let it sit for about 15 minutes or so.

1 T sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T of rice wine vinegar
1 t crushed red pepper flakes
black pepper to taste


1 T sesame oil
1 large carrot, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained, chopped
3 T hoisin sauce
1/2 cup cashews


Heat oil in wok or large non-stick pan over high heat. When it smokes, add carrot and stirfry for about 3 minutes. Add the chicken with marinade and cook for about 4 minutes. Add bell pepper and chestnuts. Heat through, about a minute. Add the hoisin and toss.

You can serve this over jasmine or basmati rice. I love basmati rice.

This recipe is on the Food Network. That is another good site you can go to and get great recipes.
 
This really sounds very good! I think this will be my next chicken dish. In fact I am going to print this out now. If you think of any more feel free.

I also went to that website you suggested and I also copied some recipes.


Thanks,

kim
 
You are welcome Kim. I'll send you some more. As Emily mentioned, the meals.com and the allrecipes.com website have a virtual recipebox that you can use to store the recipes you like. You can even categorize them. Just sign up at the website and it is yours to use.
 
Kim, here's what I'm having today. These are fantastic!! Don't let the multiple spices keep you from making this. After you have them all, it takes only minutes to mix this up and they cook so fast.

You can put oven baked potato wedges with it. I just cut my potatoes in wedges, spray with I can't believe its butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Add a salad and you're done.

If you don't eat potatos, try oven-baked sweet potato wedges.




Time-Out Chicken Tenders
A delicious low-salt and low-fat alternative to fried chicken fingers.
Serves 8
vegetable oil spray
1 cup dry whole-wheat breadcrumbs
4 large egg whites
1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast strips
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried parsley, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried savory, crumbled
1 teaspoon ground mace or nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sage, rubbed or crumbled
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
Barbecue Dip (recipe below)
Honey Mustard Dip (recipe below)


1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Spray a large, nonstick baking sheet with vegetable oil spray.
2. Place breadcrumbs on a sheet of waxed paper. Whisk egg whites in a shallow bowl until foamy. Place herb mixture in small bowl.
3. Using a meat mallet, gently pound chicken strips to 1/3-inch thick.
4. Make herb mixture: combine garlic powder, basil, marjoram, thyme, parsley, savory, mace or nutmeg, black pepper, onion powder, sage, and cayenne well.
5. Sprinkle chicken strips with herb mixture, roll them in breadcrumbs, then dip in egg whites. Return chicken to breadcrumbs to re-coat, then shake off excess and place on prepared pan.
6. Bake chicken in oven for five minutes. Turn strips over with a spatula and continue to bake for another 5 minutes until just cooked through.
7. Serve on a platter with homemade Barbecue and Honey Mustard dips.
