My Oven Went Out! Recipes please

Stir fry thinly sliced chicken, beef, pork, or seafood with LOTS of vegetables ..... a bit of rice if needed ..... delicious !

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.

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.

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.
