Quick dinner w/ left-overs for lunch?
christina
Ok, so I love cooking and I cook a lot. I am now pregnant and I am working full time about an hour away from home in Los Angeles traffic so I am REALLY tired when I get home. Most of the things I cook are really time consuming. I go to different stores to get the best ingredients and I cook a big meal that is really great. I just really need some ideas for healthy meals that will give left overs so my hubby and I can take them to work for luch the next day! mmm... getting hungry already! (I do plan on giving 10points!!!) Oh, and I really like everything! All meat, fish, chicken, whatever! As long as its not lunch meat, hot dogs, canned or frozen...
Answer
Congrats on you pregnancy.
I have two suggestions for easy prep meals that serve as lunch, dinner following days. A little FYI...I am a self admitted food snob. I love food and will only eat well prepared food. It doesn't have to be expensive...just good. No canned soup. Sorry folks. I haven't tasted any recipe with a can that I have enjoyed.
Pulled Pork
I made this in the crockpot this morning before work...
Put the crock on either the low or medium setting and place it on a baking dish (in case of boil over). Throw in 1 onion sliced, 6 T brown sugar, 1/2 C vinegar, S and P and your favorite 15, 16 oz. BBQ sauce. Stir it up. Add either a pork butt or a pork shoulder. Submerge meat in sauce. and cover. Do not take the cover off until it's time to serve. It needs a good 7-9 hours. When it's done, shred with two forks and put back in sauce. Serve with either egg noodles or rolls.
ALSO: This freezes really well. Once cooled, I throw it in a zip lock bag and lay flat in the freezer.
TIP: prep everything the night before and throw it in the crock pot. Pull crock out in the morning and stick it in the heating unit (the part of the crock that plugs in). Save that precious time in the morning. PLUS, you don't want to be smelling onions at 6am.
Dinner two: Salmon Filet
This is the best salmon I have ever had anywhere. Its super easy. Grab any seafood spice mix that you enjoy and add brown sugar to taste. Put a thick layer of spice on the salmon leaving skin on the one side intact. Heat up a frying pan and throw in about 2T canola or veg oil. Add the fish, skin side up. Cover (timing depends on the thickness). Use two spatulas and gently flip. In a small microwave safe bowl, add 6T orange marmalade (I use sugar free for dieting needs) and 3 T orange juice. Use microwave to heat up. When the salmon has about 3 minutes left pour the marmalade over the fish. Slap it on a plate and serve with rice and some green beans. AMAZING!
I make extra and save it for lunch the next day (or two). I put in on top of a salad with either balsamic dressing or red raspberry dressing. Sooooo good.
Good Luck!
The spiciness mixed with the brown sugar is amazing!
