Tuna Salad and Fiesta Rice, with Zucchini Squash

My Food Diary, kept by choice for medical reasons-shared to help others

Wanted something "lite" today. Decided on tuna salad in bed of lettuce, surrounded by tomato pieces. I had leftover Fiesta rice and zucchini squash. I think this is just what I needed, too. Delicious. So easy and  fast to prepare. Healthy, too. 

If you or someone you know is tired or unable to do long, drawn-out, complicated meals--some of my blogs on food might serve to help you with ideas. Elderly people or people with medical problems sometimes do not "want" to cook or even eat since complicated cooking is not an incentive to even try.

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.

Stuffed Bellpepper, Baked Tomato, Chicken, and Lettuce Salad

My Food Diary July 19, 2012

Above photo shows tomato after skin removed 

Cooked rice in rice cooker while the bell pepper and other items were cooking in the Nuwave. 

I baked the bell pepper and  frozen chicken breast for 10 minutes in NuWave Oven. After 10 minutes, I turned everything over. I added the rice to bell pepper, whole tomato, and onions and baked 10 minutes. Add seasoning of your choice.

Below: Photo of baked tomato with the skin. Easily came off after baking. See top photo of tomato with skin removed.

I added lettuce and sliced cucumber to plate.

 

* I eat healthier than I did before but I do not claim my diet is suitable for everyone nor my methods of cooking. I like healthy, simple, fast, and easy cooking.

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 Tuna Salad and Fresh Tomatoes

My Food Diary July 10, 2012

Simple tuna salad, on a bed of lettuce, with grated cheese. Sliced fresh tomatoes and 

a fresh strawberry, for good measure. So simple, quick, and nutritious.

Lunch In A Bowl

My Food Diary June 28, 2012

Baked chicken, veggies, fruit, and crackers.

Baked chicken and chicken hot dogs (hot dogs for tomorrow) in

 NuWave Oven for 20 minutes. (Turn over after 10 minutes). 

While meat is cooking, tear washed lettuce leaves, prepare washed

veggies and fruit according to your preference--sliced, etc. Add pieces of

baked chicken breast. Toss salad

and add salad dressing, if you desire.

I added no salt nor oil. I baked meat in a Nuwave Oven (all meat was frozen

when I started cooking them).  I did not use the hot dogs in this

salad.  I cooked them today to conserve energy and won't have to

do anything tomorrow but heat in microwave for about 30 seconds.
