The request was for something to prepare quickly and people offered "suggestions". Just because the suggestions use some pre-prepared items doesnt' mean that's the only way we, in the USA, cook.
There isn't always time to wash/peel/slice/dice fresh items-- bottom line, it's better than unhealthy fast food.0 -
I buy fresh produce, meat, and fish pretty much everyday. But I'm in San Francisco and it's easy to get anything I want. Guess that's part of why property costs so freakin' much here!0

Sorry we don't all eat raw tomatoes for every meal, as I see that was your healthy dinner suggestion.0

You should check out the slow cooker recipe thread. most of the stuff you can put it all in the crock pot the day before, then plug it in in the morning, let it cook all day, and it's done when you get home. The most time you'll probably spend putting it together is 30 minutes, and most recipes don't even require that!0

Cauliflower pizza! You really can't tell that the crust is made from cauliflower. There are recipes on here, with pics, but, here is the recipe:
1 cup cauliflower, riced (I use frozen caul. and cook in the microwave and just put it in my mini food processer until it's fine)
1 egg (I am using eggbeaters tonight to see how it works, for lower cals)
1 Cup shredded mozzerella
Spices (fennel, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, whatever you have on hand)
Combine all but spices, spread out on a cookie sheet (I line with parchment paper), you can also use round pizza pan. Top with spices, bake. My oven cooks cool, so you will probably have to adjust times/temps. But, MY oven I cook @ 425 for 15-20 min.
I usually top with turkey pepperoni, pizza sauce and mozzerella. 1/4 of the pizza is about 250-300 calories. Depending on how much of everything you use. Hope this helps!0 -
