Please don't anyone yell at me for starting a new topic--if you all think it's stupid, don't respond and let it quietly fade into nothingness.
But, for those of you you might not think it's stupid, please, Please, PLEASE feel free to respond.
Now to the point: Everyone has been saying that they need to eat better. My problem with that is that I never have time to cook and when I do, I never know what to cook. I'd really like to know what kind of cooking tips you girls (and guys) have for someone looking to eat healthier. Right now I'm really looking towards incorporating "brown" foods for all of the "white" foods (pasta, bread, rice, etc). If anyone has some really good (and preferably quick) recipes to share, I would really appreciate the help.
to start things out, I have a recipe for low-fat, high fiber chili that my nutrition teacher gave me:
2.5 lbs ground sirloin
16 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 jar of chunky salsa
2 cans of kidney beans
1 LARGE can of Chili beans
2 Tbsp Chili powder
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp minced onion
Just cook the meat (pre-thawed of course) over medium heat until no pink is left, then add all of the other ingredients. This recipe lasts me and my bf for a week--you might want to cut it down if you're making it for yourself. It's really good and takes almost no time to prepare.
Anybody else got anything?
