Pineapple Cherry Pizza

Football game today so I wanted "junk food". Decided to prepare a variation of pizza. Yep, gave myself a party! LOL Fast food (baked in NuWave oven), easy cooking, delicious and nutritious, as far as pizza goes anyway. Rather glad I did this. My team lost today. :(   But,  next week, maybe they will win! :)

*I realize my choice of food or method of preparation may not be suitable for everyone. I do this blog so I can keep up with things I prepare. Thank you for reading my blog.

My Food Diary 2

I have another blog that is mostly food. I usually include photos of the food, the how-to, etc. I am including a link to this blog in case you would like to see more food related posts.

I like to cook nutritious food but like to do it without long, drawn-out instructions and standing over something all day. I do have medical issues that play a part in this. I just don't feel good a lot of days.

I post My Food Diary to help encourage other people with medical issues, elderly, work all day and don't have the time to cook all day, or who are single and find they just don't want to cook for one. 

Please bookmark the blog, if you find it helpful. Well, while you are at it, bookmark this blog, too. LOL  I add some food post to this blog but also include "opinion" blogs here.

Thanks for taking time to read my blog. Feel free to share it, too.

Labor Day Lunch

My Food Diary Sept. 3, 2012 My Labor Day healthy meal.

Not bar-b-que, but:

Easy and delicious! Baked fish, baked potatoes, green beans, and strawberries.  Tonight I may have a Frozen Yogurt coke float though.  LOL (Do I notice some changes in the way this blog works?????)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fish, Stuffed Bell Pepper, Tomato, Strawberries, and Cucumbers

My Food Diary July 21, 2012

I try to eat healthy. I am eating healthier than I did. I try different variations of ingredients and/or method of cooking, to add interest and encourage myself to eat.  Conventional methods of cooking will work for anything I prepare but I prefer the easy, simple, quick, and nutritious recipes, as well as appliances that I find accomplish this.

 I baked everything in a Nuwave oven. I started with frozen fish, added raw bell pepper (stuffed with rice, celery, onion, and tomato). I also added a couple of strawberries to the same baking dish and half of a tomato. I baked 10 minutes, turned or at least moved all things on the baking pan. Added sliced onion and baked all another 5-10 minutes. When done, arranged all on a plate and added a few slices of cucumber. Photo below shows baking pan--before baking is started. Yes, it's all baked in one pan at the same time.

*I do not imply that my methods or choices of food are acceptable for everyone. I do know I cook more nutritious things for myself now and that it's very uncomplicated to do.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Fresh Veggie Meal with Chicken

My Food Diary July 5, 2012

Fresh field peas and some of the okra were cooked in a slow cooker. I added some mixed, chopped onion and bell pepper, and a few new potatoes, too. I started the slow cooker first since this takes longer than the Nuwave Oven cooking. I don't think the Nuwave will cook stuff usually done on the stove top.

 Now for Nuwave ingredients: The chicken was frozen. I placed it on a pan with okra, bell pepper, new potatoes, onion, and a few slices banana pepper. I baked the chicken and veggies on lower rack of Nuwave Oven for 10 minutes, turned oven all of it and then added the onions and bell peppers. Baked an additional 10 minutes.

Cornbread: Mixed cornbread and placed in muffin tin that makes 6 muffins. I baked in toaster oven for about 15 minutes and then in Nuwave Oven, lower rack for 10 minutes. The reason I used toaster oven to start with is that the bread needed to bake a bit and set the top since the NuWave seems to blow the air and this often leads to uneven tops when baking. 

Just saying. LOL Below are photos of food in the Nuwave and of the peas in the slow cooker.

 

Left: Veggies and chicken breast in pan ready to bake in Nuwave.

Below: Field Peas, okra, potatoes,  and other items in slow cooker.

Add sliced tomatoes and/or other veggies you may have and serve.

NuWave Baked Fish and Veggies

My Food Diary June 27, 2010

Baked fish and veggies served with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber salad.

 Baked fish and veggies in Nuwave Oven. Baked 10 minutes (fish was frozen), turned everything over and baked 10 minutes more.  I did an experiment with the okra.  Actually, the okra was too big before it was harvested and was not tender to start with.  However, I thought at least I could get a little experience by trying it.  It did not work. Needed be be younger okra and sliced.  I've done that before and it worked.  Oh well, trial and error! LOL

Baked Whole Fish and Veggies

 

Started with frozen fish, baked with veggies (without oil, margarine, or salt) in NuWave Oven (Rapid Air would be the same timing, etc). Turn all over after 10 minutes and bake 10 minutes more. Of course you would need to check that fish flakes and that veggies are tender.

 

*I am not implying my meals are on everyone's diet or best way to cook plan.  LOL  However, I find it healthy, quick, and easy.  Especially nice for a couple, a single person, elderly, or those that prefer fast, easy, and healthy cooking.
