I use Nutiva organic extra virgin coconut oil in most of my cooking.
Coconut veggie delight
chop up a variety of vegetables: carrots, beets, onions, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, turnips, kale, chard,cabbage, etc. Toss into a a metal or bamboo steamer and add some Organic no-salt seasoning and or some fresh or dried herbs.. Steam vegetables till they're don and place them in a bowl. Add a few tablespoons of Nutiva Coconut oil and Hemp-seed. (you can add a sprinkle of sea salt if you want.) I like to make extra for salads, a side dish, to add to pot pies,boiled dinner, etc.

Try skinnytaste.com. I can vouch that most of her recipes taste awesome and can be done relatively cheap! I always make extra and then portion them out, freeze them for lunches throughout the week or month!

Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken



Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Ready In: 45 Minutes
Servings: 6
"Chicken breasts are breaded with flavorful crumbs, herbs, and Parmesan cheese, then baked for the easiest, quickest chicken dish ever. Serve with a salad and pasta or rice for a scrumptious dinner."
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a bowl, blend the olive oil and garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
3. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

There are too many possibilities. Please narrow it down by the type of food you like to eat. Then I can help you.

Check out skinnytaste.com -- She has tons of GREAT recipes (usually under 300 cal per serving) and most can be cheaply made.

I agree with a previous poster about chicken breast. I usually buy the big 2+ pound with bone, boil it in a pot with some onion, celery, bay leaves, and carrots. Once it's finished I shred or cube it and use later for soups, sandwiches, salads, casseroles, etc. Then you can save the broth; you won't have to spend $ on the canned broth and this is natural! Frozen tilapia is also great. (I usually catch it on sale at Kroger for about $3.50 a bag and stock up!)

If you've not tried freezer cooking I would recommend that also. It takes some prep time up front, but since you're buying things in bulk and then freezing you can save money and SO MUCH time later!

It's not weird at all. Chicken cooks very quickly - actually, so does ground beef, fish, and some pork cuts - but it's much nicer when I can toss it in the crock pot (frozen usually) and by the time I come home from work it's finished. Win win!

Coca Cola Chicken (a student staple in China, similar to Teriyaki)

Brown some chicken (I use thighs) with garlic. Toss in a smalll can of coke (regular, not diet) and a few glugs of soy sauce. Simmer for 45 minutes. Near the end of cooking time, increase heat so that the sauce caramelizes into a syrupy mass. Serve with rice or quinoa and cooked veg.
