Egg-white omelets do in a quick moment.   You can add any veggie to them.  I keep ziplocks filled w/ pre-cut veggies (works for salads).  You can throw cheese on top, too! They're healthier than using whole egg.  I buy the whites in a container like a milk one, saves me time when I'm knackered after work.  Takes like 7 minutes total to saute veggies & fluff eggs in them to cook.

 

Raw nuts added into veggies are great, too.  Walnuts, pecans, almonds, even cashews work great in stir-fry veggies.  In salads they add texture and go great with cheese crumbles.

 

Hummus is quick & cheap to make.  Gabanzo beans cost like 59 cents.  Salt, paprika, drops of lemon juice, couple drops olive oil & minute in a blender.  Hummus can be put on anything - grilled sandwhich, slathered on veggies or falafel. 

 

Sole (fish) is quick to do & extremely versatile.  Can be rolled up with herbs in the middle & baked (10 minutes), cut in strips & breaded crumbed for fish sticks, grilled on stovetop in olive oil, lemon juice, onion slices & dill (4 minutes).  Around here its a cheaper fish to purchase.

 

Good luck!

wow..  I never thought of all that.. lol.. shows how well we eat around here.. I seem to do the same old thing.. meat, potatoes and veggies... and if I try to get healthy it is chicken and rice with veggies..lol

I will definitely have to try some of those..

 

 

I have a crock pot but no time to use it. There is no guarantee of what time we will be home so I am afraid to leave it on all day. So the only time I use it is on weekends when I can put something on and let it cook all day.
