Ok I was wondering if everyone who is on the 300+ could each give me one good recipe to eat no matter what kind I live all kind of food.I thought I could get new ideas and when I make the food will think of all the people just like me who are struggling with their weight.
I like to cook and if I can get some new ideas that be great.. Thanks

I've got several recipes on my blog, so I just added a link to the food and recipe section (below).

One of my New Years resolutions is to add at least one low-cost, healthy recipe every month.

Here are some of our family favorites:



TACO SOUP

1 lb ground round beef

1 large onion, chopped

1 package taco seasoning mix

1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix

1 16oz can pinto beans

1 16oz can hot chili beans

1 16oz can whole kernel corn

1 16oz can stewed tomatoes

1 16oz can diced tomatoes and chilis (i.e. Rotel mild)

Brown the beef and the onion together. Drain the grease. Stir everything together in a large pot and heat through.

1 cup = 4 POINTS



HUMMUS

(Low Fat Version)

3 garlic cloves, minced (more if you like)

1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp paprika

1/8 tsp pepper

1/2 jar roasted red peppers (optional)

1 19oz can chickpeas, drained

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Chill.

1/4 cup = 1 POINT


Pasta Primavera

24 oz spaghetti

1 lg can stewed tomatoes

1 bag frozen veggies (I like broccoli, cauliflower, carrot blend)

Boil noodles and frozen veggies. Drain. Heat stewed tomatoes in microwave and pour over noodle and veggie mix. Toss and serve.


PINEAPPLE RIGHT SIDE UP CAKE

8 oz can crushed pineapple

1 box angel food cake mix

Combine pineapple and cake mix (no other ingredients). Bake as directed on the box.


Mexican Chicken Lasagna

1 spray olive oil cooking spray
2 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast
30 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained
3 cup(s) fat-free sour cream
2 cup(s) shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese, divided
8 oz chopped green chilies, two 4-oz cans
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
12 medium corn tortilla(s), cut into 2-inch strips


Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a lasagna pan with cooking spray.

Place chicken in medium saucepan and fill with enough cold water just to cover chicken. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch pieces.

Transfer chicken to a large bowl and add beans, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, chilies, cumin, and pepper; mix well and set aside.

Arrange half of tortillas in bottom of prepared lasagna pan, overlapping pieces to cover surface. Top tortillas with half of chicken mixture, layer with remaining tortillas and then top with remaining chicken mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese.

Bake until filling is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 12 pieces.

Roasted Chickpeas.
Preheat oven to 450

Take a can of chickpeas, drain and pat dry.
In a bowl mix 1 tbsp olive oil (could use less) and spices of your choice including kosher salt (preferably)
Roast until crunchy (though we like them with still a little "tooth")... may take anywhere from 15-20 min

You can be creative with the spices... one of my favorites is a Moroccan spice mix, things like cumin, coriander, a little cayenne, garlic salt, cinnamon, ginger, pinch of cloves...

or just keep it simple: a little soy sauce and rosemary...
