BEEF JERKY
making beef jerky is pretty easy.
What ya need:
3lbs flank steak or similiar.
1/3 cup whorecestershire
1/3 soy
pepper
Liquid smoke (optional)
The soy is what makes it taste salty. I recommend splitting the amounts up and mixing different amounts till you find the taste you like.
Simply slice the beef up as thin as you can. (or get the butcher to)
Mix the stuff together marinate in a ziplock back over night
(Youll need 4 pans to do this much beef at once...)
Place aluminum foil across bottom of pan (easier cleanup later)
Place a bakers rack in the pans, and spread the meat across the bakers rack.
Set oven to its lowest setting, (warm, around 125-200). Prop oven open with a knife (lets moisture out) and bake for 3-6 hours. Time depends on how thin you sliced it, how hot your oven is, so you just gotta watch it.
It takes a few times to get the taste you want, but youll be glad you did.
One of the best snacks i can think of.

Something quick and real good.
Buy some ground turkey fry it up in a pan with some extra virgin olive oil,sprinkle garlic salt and pepper w/Romano cheese you will love it.
If you want to make an omlette just add 3 scrambled eggs and you have a high protien low card meal....

Chicken Breasts w/ Stewed Tomatoes
This is just a simple, and quick way to make chicken I came up with if you are short for time. I make this at work all the time.
What you need:
*2-4 chicken breasts (boneless/skinless).
*1 can of stewed tomatoes (I use the jalapeno flavored).
There are two ways you can prepare this. Stove top or in the oven.
Stove Top Method:
Brown the chicken breasts in a pot using olive oil. Add the stewed tomatoes and simmer for about 20 minutes. Serve over brown rice or pasta, or eat alone. (You can add seasoning of choice during cooking, or after).
Oven Method:
Place the chicken breasts and stewed tomatoes in a glass casserole dish, then into a 350 degree oven for approximately 40 minutes. Serve over brown rice or pasta, or eat alone.
This can be served over brown rice, pasta, or by itself. You can add seasoning of choice during cooking, or after. Sliced onions in the oven version are good to add.

Easy Tuna Casserole:
This is a tuna casserole that is easy and quick to make...even if you can't cook. It's a good post-workout meal.
What you need:
*2-4 cans of tuna.
*1 can of peas.
*1 cup of salad macaroni (pasta).
*Jack and Cheddar cheeses.
Preperation:
Boil pasta until done but firm. Drain and add to a 8x8 glass casserole dish. Drain tuna and peas and mix into the pasta. Grate the cheese (or buy the already grated) and mix. Place in a 350 degree oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted.
If desired, you can add chopped onions and/or seasonings. I find that it's good just as is. Very simple and tasty.

Breakfast Burrito:
Candle got me hungry after reading his post. These are easy to make, and you can eat them on the go. Make several in advance, wrap them in plastic wrap, pop them in the micro. and you're set.
* 5 egg whites
* 1 whole egg
* 1 tortilla (large)
* Cheese (I like using Pepper Jack or cheddar)
* Hot sauce or salsa (La Victoria Hot Salsa or good ol' Tabasco)

* Steel cut oats refers to the basic chopping of oats from their original form.
Rolled oats are actually processed and lose nutrients in the transition. Rolled oats are the most common form (think Quaker) found in the grocery store chains.
Steel cut oats are available at most health food stores. They are usually sold in bulk and are often called Irish oats.
An equal amount of regular rolled oats can be substituted.
They're really quite good. Hell of a lot cheaper than a storebought bar and similar nutrient breakdown...

This one is different, I think. I made Wardog's bars a little less than a year ago, and they were great, although kind of crumbly when made as directed. These bars are really moist and hold together well. Also, Wardog's bars had a higher caloric value, more of a straight up bulking bar.
I think wardog's went something like this:
Protien powder, 16 oz pb, 8 TB honey, 1 cup oats, and 6 scoops oatmeal to make 10 bars. (searched all over and couldnt find the thread!)
The bars from my post contain eggwhites and applesauce, and I think that's what gives them their consistency.
Give them a try, I was pretty impressed myself! They could definately be a bit sweeter, but I can do without the high GI carbs

WD's is in this thread on page 1 or you could order them from Sheesh if he's still in buisness. I love that recipe and make them almost weekly. Gonna try this new recipe as well.
I've been using buffalo sauce for my chicken breasts lately that's pretty damned easy and taste's awesome.
1-2 tbsp melted trans-free low-fat butter per every 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot. Just mix it together and toss or dip your grilled/baked chicken breasts in it when they're done. I'm going to try it with a little vinegar next time, but it's not bad just as is. If you're worried about your chicken drying out while grilling without a marinade just baste with a little trans-free butter so as not to take from the flavor of the sauce.
