Little idea.
One of the problems in adopting a healthier lifestyle is that you often find your spouse/partner is not participating with you. Whilst you can eat reduced portions of normal household prepared meals for you, you’ll get faster results if you take control and prepare your own ‘cleaner meals’.
This need not be difficult and I think it might be beneficial if we all post some healthy, simple recipe ideas we can all use that petrolhead blokes with little or no kitchen experience can prepare- EASILY.
A golden rule is to prepare enough for 2-3 meals at any one time. The meals can be refrigerated and reheated subsequently....or eaten cold. This saves time and allows meals to be quickly made.
As an example- Simple Chicken Tikka.
Ingredients- chop chook breast into even slices, tikka paste tablespoon, low fat Greek yoghurt tablespoon,.
OPTIONAL, squeeze of garlic, ginger and chopped chilli. You’ll get a similar result using any curry paste, vindaloo, Rogan josh etc.
Throw everything in a bowl, mix, refrigerate/ marinate.Take out what you need for each meal.
To cook, preheat oven to around 200degrees, cook for around 10-12 mins (turn after 6). You could also cook on a griddle plate or in an air fryer.
Serve with
Rice, brown preferably,
Or Salad,
Or in a salad wrap, wholemeal preferably.
Or with some steamed/boiled vegetables.
Or in a rice paper salad wrap
Any cooked leftovers can be eaten cold!
