The best tasting, healthiest food has very few ingredients. Keep it simple and you'll do fine.
I put this in another post the other night, but one of my new favorites are stuffed chicken breasts. I do three at a time for my lunch bag for three days, and that way if I screw it up or dont like it I dont have a lot of it, but I have loved both I tried so far.
I have found this turns out great. Roll chicken breasts in flour only, then put in skillet with a tiny bit of olive oil for three minutes each side so the pink is visibly gone.
Let them cool and gently slice horizontally so you can fold open and stuff. Last week for three breasts I used a mixture 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar, 4 oz fat free ricottta and 2 cups of chopped broccoli. (frozen broccoli florettes chopped down a bit smaller).
Put on pan (foil lined sprayed with pam for super easy clean up) and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Another mixture that was fabulous stuffed in (and piled on top of) the chicken breasts was ricotta, basil and lemon juice! Tonight I'm going to try a crushed peanut coating and layered inside. Maybe. Or that broccoli cheddar was pretty good too!! havent decided my lunches fate yet LOL0 -

Get a crockpot and go to town! There are tons of crockpot recipes all over the place, including lots that you make in batches and freeze.
I agree with this. I love my crock pot and its so easy. And lots of different ideas on here.0 -

High temp Eye of round roast beef
2-3lb eye of round
salt
pepper
pre-heat the oven to 475
sprinkle roast with salt and pepper
put roast on a pan
put in the oven and turn heat down to 450
7 min per lb
turn off the oven and DO NOT open the oven for 4 hours
take it out and slice the meat thin.
If you know how to make gravy you can use the drippings, if not jar gravy will work.
It is great to slice and make sandwiches or open face roast beef sandwiches all week.0 -
All the basic recipes here are great.... but you should take the time to learn to cook... it doesn't have to be fancy. you'll enjoy healthy food more. Save up some money and look into local cooking classes. My mom used to take them from our local city (junior) college. It was like one night a week. But cooking is becoming cool, so there are little chef / cook schools all over. there's even one in the mall by my house. If you have a DVR, find "Good Eats" on food network. It's my favorite show (it just ended, but the reruns should be on for a long time). He explains the SCIENCE behind cooking / baking / etc, and how to do things correctly, and explains common pitfalls, and how to avoid them.
Good luck in all of your journey, and hopefully it becomes more fun and tasty! :-)0 -

I want to bump this!
You could also make an easy stir fry by cutting up a wide variety of vegetables (or use frozen) and saute them with a little olive oil along with either shrimp or chicken (if you dont want to cook either, you can use frozen cooked shrimp or already cooked chicken strips). Once warm, add a marinane of choice as there are a ton of different sauces and marinades that are not too bad in calories, fat, sugar, etc. If you use already frozen/cooked veggies and meat then you really only have to sate them for a few minutes until they are warm. Then add to rice or pasta or eat as is with a salad or other easy side.0 -

Italian Chicken
Put chicken (frozen or thawed, whatever) in crockpot.
Dump Italian Dressing on top.
Cook on high 5 hours or low 8 hours (sometimes longer if frozen, but it depends on how much chicken you put in).0
