Tutti Frutti Salad

Almost dessert! Enjoying my first taste of watermelon this year. I cut watermelon, peaches, and pineapple into bite sized chunks. I used canned peaches and canned pineapple. Delicious and Nutritious! :)

Nutrition On A Plate

Oh, wow! This was good. I had leftover spinach, carrots, rice, and turkey so all I added were the boiled egg, cantaloupe, and strawberries. Leftovers don't have to be unpleasant. Frankly, I didn't want to do a lot of 'cooking' today and this worked out great. 

I placed the leftovers on a plate, warmed in microwave for a couple of minutes, added slices of an egg I boiled, cut the cantaloupe and strawberries into bite size pieces, added to plate of re-heated food. Added seasonings but no salt. Rather easy meal and nutritious. (Better than some meals I've had in my life) 

*I realize my methods of cooking and/or food choices may not be suitable for everyone. I find doing a blog post about my food helps me be aware of what I really do eat and might inspire someone that just don't feel like cooking or eating. I don't fool with all those long, drawn-out recipes. 

Thank you for reading my blog posts.

Easy Spaghetti, Chicken, Spinach, and Strawberries

Slow cooker spaghetti, sliced baked chicken, spinach, and fresh strawberries. No added oils, butter, salt, sugar, etc. Colorful, healthy (compared to some meals), fast, and easy. I save all that fancy stuff for days I feel absolutely wonderful (lol) or for a treat when I eat out! :)

Slow cooker spaghetti does not take long to cook at all. I added water and spaghetti, turned to high, checked it frequently, and added a can of tomato soup and spices (not salt). It was just more convenient to do it this way today. Another good thing about slow cooker spaghetti is that it can be placed on warm for a while, if you need to do that (wait for some reason).

Today I used leftover baked chicken. canned spinach (low sodium), and fresh strawberries.

Cool Fruit Salad, Hot Day!

My Food Diary July 12, 2012

Apricots, pears, strawberries, blueberries, and yes, a little lettuce in in the bottom! LOL I did add low fat, bought dressing for this salad. I sprinkled with seasoning--but--no salt. EASY, HEALTHY, QUICK! DELICIOUS! 

I post my food diary for medical reasons. It's easy to go back and see what I really did eat. I share my blogs hoping I might help someone else that might like ideas of easy, quick, simple cooking.

Cool Sandwich and Fruit Salad

My Food Diary June 29, 2012

I baked (yes, baked) the chicken hot dogs yesterday,

yesterday's blog click here

This link will have photo of cooking the hot dogs with a chicken breast. I wanted something

really light today, easy, and very quickly done.  It's just too hot to do much!  LOL I used croissants

instead of regular bread.  Added the lettuce, tomato, and hot dog. Quickly cut up the fruit and a few dabs of broccoli. 

Use fruit you have on hand. I happened to have kiwi, strawberries, bananas, and mandarin oranges. I 

also added a bit of  low fat Thousand Island Dressing.
