My Oven Went Out! Recipes please

mypeep

My oven just went out! Any ideas for reduced cal, high protein, low carb recipes or links would help. I especially need dinner suggestions for the stovetop. My family and I would be grateful!

Do you have a slow cooker or grill?

Toss some stew meat in a pot with water and a beef bullion cube or two. Cover and simmer for 1.5-2 hours. I eat mine on brown rice and broccoli. The bullion juice can flavor the rice if needed.

Quinoa and Black Beans (you can add pan cooked or boiled chicken to it)

Vegetables, whole grains, proteins. Mix and match. All can be made on the stove top.

If you have a crockpot, I find tons of great recipes on Pinterest. To find low-carb/ high-protein recipes try searching "paleo crockpot recipes" or "paleo stovetop recipes" Skinnytaste.com has a lot of great recipes too. For stovetop, I recommend looking into chilis, stews, soups (all can be made in large batches and frozen, and pair well with salad), stir-fry, curries.

Here is one thing I make in the crockpot every week because it's just so easy!
Balsamic Chicken
* 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
* 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
* 1/2 red onion, diced
* 3 cloves garlic, sliced thin (or minced)
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* Sprinkle of salt and pepper

Put the olive oil, onion, and garlic in first. Then the chicken. Pour the balsamic over the whole thing, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook on high for about 3 hours or low for about 6 hours. I especially love it on a salad but you can pair it with virtually any veggie dish.


Here is a curry recipe I love that can be made on the stove. I use it for all sorts of curry dishes, as well as a sauce for lamb meatballs or steamed veggies (like broccoli, cauliflower, or brussels sprouts).
* 1 can full-fat coconut milk (I strongly recommend the Trader Joes one if you have one near you- it's much creamier than others but with no artificial thickeners)
* 2 tbsp curry spice
* 1 tbsp cumin (or garam masala)
* 1 tbsp ground ginger (or 1 inch cube of fresh ginger, minced or pressed)
* 1/2 tsp cayenne, ground
* 1/4 tsp black pepper, ground
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 tsp granulated garlic
* 1/4 cup minced fresh basil

Just mix and simmer on the stove until thickened to your liking. If it doesn't thicken up, you can add a thickener (cornstarch, or a mix of 1 tbsp warm water and 1 tbsp flour- add just a little at a time). You can add more or less of the spices too, depending on how strong you like the flavor to be.

I make veggie burritos. Please double the recipe if need be for your family. I can eat off of this for two days:

1. Can of organic lowsodium pinto beans (or soak dried pinto beans overnight, cook for 1 hour.)
2. Mix cooked pinto beans with a can of low sodium or regular fire roasted tomatoes
3. 1 tablespoon of cumin
4. 1 teaspoon of pepper
5. 1 teaspoon or more of cayenne powder
6. Any other spices you like, I rinse my beans if I use canned ones remove the remaining sodium.

Mix cook on the stove till it gets hot. Get tortillas warmed on the stove top or microwave. Chop up some avocado, cilantro and green onions to go in the burrito. Boom you are done.

I am a plant eater so I don't do dairy but you can add shredded cheese to the bean mixture OR cook some brown or white rice and stuff that in each burrito as well. very filling and delicious.

Quick frittata. Sauté veggies of choice, pour in eggs or egg whites to non stick or sprayed pan. Can be big or large depending on how many your serving. Cover with cookie tin or tin foil and set flame to allow and allow eggs to cook through. Top with cheese or whatever you'd like

Yes I have both!

My oven went out more then a year ago and I just haven't bothered getting it replaced. Personally I have- a chicken roaster, a George Forman, three slow cookers of varying sizes, an outdoor grill, a microwave, a rice cooker and of course the stove top.
Personally I love the slow cooker. It's food magic! Campbells makes great slow cooker sauces- just toss in meat, frozen steamed veggies, and the sauce. If you people that like biscuits in the house you can totally make them on the stove top. I used a large cast iron pan, grease it with fat free butter then plop the biscuits in a circle with one in the middle, then put a lid on it and simmer for 20 minutes or golden brown.

I'd just pick up Rotisserie chicken, a bag salad, wraps, and maybe some cheese or dressing and eat chicken & salad wraps. I'm lazy.
