Ok so my previous post probably scared you all.

Here's a more normal meal. It is easy to make too.

First, add sugar, flour, and soy sauce to a piece of chicken breast for taste. Don't add too much, just enough to give it taste. After marinating it for a couple of hours, boil the chicken breast in water until fully cooked. Next, dice up the chicken breast into cubes. Steam some rice and mixed vegetables (frozen is okay), and once done lay the chicken breast on top of it. Serve while it's hot.

If this still sounds bad to you, let me know so I won't post in this thread ever again.

Actually I liked both recipes. I have done the chicken 1 before and like it a lot. I prefer steamed veggies.

Ok, believe it or not, this is actually good for you:

This is kinda like a soup. In a pot, mix canned cream of corn, small diced cubes of lean pork, egg whites, and raw & unseasoned seaweed. Stir and bring to boil. Add salt and pepper for desired taste. Again, serve while it's hot.

EDIT: I forgot to list the following ingredients: diced tofu (very nutritious), small slices of onions (optional, but you should add it), and cilantro.

Another easy and healthy one:

Brown (basically fully cook) some lean ground beef without adding oil. Once the beef is cooked, drain any oil produced by the beef during the cooking process. Put the beef aside. Next, add a small amount of oil to the pan (for stir-frying). Once the oil is hot, add some minced ginger and minced garlic. Stir the ginger and garlic for about 30 seconds, then add in some frozen mixed vegetables to the pan (preferably thawed and drained) and stir-fry the vegetables until done. With the vegetables still in the pan, add the cooked beef and mixed together. Once it is mixed and hot, serve over a plate of steamed rice. Serve hot and enjoy.

Garlicky Grilled Chicken. A good recipe. Takes about an hour and serves 4.

Ingredients
1 2-1/2- to 3-pound whole roasting chicken
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dark roast ground coffee

Directions
1. Rinse inside of chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Skewer neck skin to back. Tie legs to tail. Twist wing tips under back. In a small bowl stir together oil and garlic. Brush chicken with garlic mixture. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and ground coffee. Insert a meat thermometer into center of an inside thigh muscle. Do not allow thermometer tip to touch bone.
2. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place chicken breast side up on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until drumsticks move easily in their sockets, meat is no longer pink, and thermometer registers 180 degree F. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Place chicken breast side up on grill rack over unlit burner. Grill as above.)
3. Remove chicken from grill. Cover chicken loosely with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Makes 4 servings.
