----------------Other Meals----------------
-Stew- must use a crock pot, but it's very easy. I use cubed beef, but could probly use chicken or turkey. Just toss it in the pot w/ all sorts of veggies: green beans, corn, peas, kidney beans, potatoes, carrots, celery, barley, etc. Then add stew seasoning(comes in packets). Takes a while to cook. Put it in there in the morning on low, eat it for lunch or supper. Also, just reheat it in the microwave if you have left-overs and it's as good as fresh.
-Salad- I try to eat a good salad at least a few times a week because I don't usually eat enough veggies. Use fresh spinach leaves & dark green lettuce. Can add broccolli, carrots, colliflour, kidney beans, cucumber slices, any veggie you want. Then add a couple sliced hard boiled eggs. Some kind of meat: chicken, turkey, tuna, hamburger, etc. Can also add cottage cheese or other shredded cheese. Then use a good dressing, hopefully something not too fatty. It makes a really good, healthy meal. Doesn't take too long if you have all the stuff in your fridge.
**If at all possible, make things in large quantities and store them in the fridge so you can eat them all week. It makes things SO much easier.
