1. Em M Said,

   There are delicious healthy recipes on these websites:

   http://www.cookinglight.com
   http://www.self.com (look for the recipes)

   As for cooking for one, you can halve a recipe and/or freeze what you don’t want to eat. Another good recipe website is
   http://www.rachaelraymag.com and she includes recipes for lunch that you can make with last night’s leftovers, which is kind of cool.

   If you don’t want to cook, try prepared entrees from Whole Foods – you can buy just enough for you and it’s always yummy and healthy!

   Weeks worth of SBD food with minimal cooking

   All Phases
   On Sunday or whenever you have a day off :

   - Make a tomato sauce out of 8lbs of tomatoes ,8 cups of stock, 2 bay leaves, 3 cloves garlic, 1 large onion, 2 of the thin red chilies (arbol)

   Half the tomatoes (no need to peel), chop onion roughly, peel garlic, throw all veggies into a pot (if you have it cast iron is ideal as it increases the iron content of the tomato sauce) with the 8 cups of stock.(All the veggies should be covered. If not add more stock. Cook for 20 mins not forgetting to stir . Blend in batches in a blender and transfer to two new casseroles or saucepans.

   Saucepan 1 : Southwestern salsa . Add allspice, 2 whole cloves, tabasco sauce, 1 tsp cumin, 2 or 3 chile ancho (the dried one which you need to rehydrate first). Because of the chili you will need to blend the whole lot again. Cook all for another 30 mins or until thickened, let cool put in fridge .

   Saucepan 2 : Salsa Italiana : To this mix add 1 glass red wine , fresh basil leaves ,a tiny bit of splenda in case your toms are very acidic As above cook for 30 mins or until thickened . Cool, refrigerate . Can put 2 portions of salsa in the freezer at this point for use later.

   Dishes you can make with this during the week :

   Huevos rancheros : Egg(s) on ww tortilla bathed in SW salsa with someblack beans thrown across ,a tbsps sour cream on top if liked and a side of green beans. For Phase 1 you could sit the egg on a bed of fake mash. (fake mash is mashed up cooked cauliflower)

   Chili con carne: browned ground beef or turkey with black beans, green peppers and a serving of SW salsa, side of vegetable or dumped on a salad

   Beef tips in SW sauce.: Lean thin cut of meat, cut into strips fried up, add some hot water (1/2 cup) and a cup of salsa. Let cook for 30 mins adding more water if necessary.

   Stuffed poblano peppers : This is only easy if you can buy them ready made. Bathe cheese stuffed peppers with SW salsa, add a dollop of nf sour cream and serve with a side of rice .

   SW WRAP : Coat cooked chicken strips with some SW Salsa , add stirfried pepper strips, nf sour cream, lettuce, black beans and transfer mix into a ww wrap. Layer on fake mash for Phase 1.

   Italian Chicken: Broil a chicken breast seasoned with salt and oregano: When done, bathe in Salsa Italiana, cover with a slice of cheese and put back under broiler until cheese melts: Serve with green salad or broccoli or rice in phase 2

   Hungarian porkloin : Cook pork loin seasoned with salt and paprika under broiler. Make a sauce with a cup of Italian salsa, 1 tbsp of sweet paprika and 1 tbsp sour cream. Pour over pork loin. Serve with rice and veggies.

   Pasta bolognese Boil some pasta and brown some ground beef or turkey and add some of the Italian sauce and some water (1/2 cup). Cook for 20 mins adding water if necessary. Boil some green beans. Serve over pastagrean bean mix with grated parmesan.

   Eggs Italiano : Egg sunny side up bathed in Italian sauce and melted mozzarella on ww toast.

   Stuffed peppers : Stuff green peppers with a beef mix ( beef onion,pepper salt some parmesan if liked) Sit the peppers in a saucepan and cook until the peppers are done but not soft. Remove from pan, add Salsa italiana and bring to boil until the sauce has thickened. Pour over the peppers. Sprinkle on parmesan.

   Tomato soup : One cup of Italian salsa, some water, some mozarella cubes: heat the salsa and water, add a tbsps of sour cream, stir in the mozzarella cubes, serve immmediately with ww toast on the side or add a portion of cooked brown rice .

   All the above recipes should not take more than 20 -30 mins to prepare.

   In a large kettle, combine the chicken, water, broth, half of the celery, carrots, onions and green pepper, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2-1/2 hours or until chicken is tender. Chop the remaining onion; set aside.
   Remove chicken from broth. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones and cut into bite-size pieces. Discard bones and skin; set aside.
   Strain broth and skim fat; return broth to kettle. Add salt, chopped onion and remaining celery, carrots, green pepper and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add noodles and chicken. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until noodles are tender. Yield: 16 servings.
