easyguy Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I've been snooping around online at different recipes, but none of them have looked that interesting. I'm trying to find something new to use for making dinner home (living with parents) that is low in carbs and doesn't contain a lot of sugar. I'm thinking along the lines of chicken, pork, or other kinds of meat that could be used as part of it. I'd like to stay away from pasta and highly saturated foods, though. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm open to all kinds of suggestions. I'm your typical bachelor cook, so I have barely any cooking skills if it doesn't require a microwave. But recently I've had this urge to learn how to cook some basic healthy meals via oven/stove. And we all know how much the ladies appreciate a guy who can cook. Link to comment

bebecole Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 omgg has anyone seen that commercial on tv with that grill thing where you can cook eggs, wraps, dessert, anything!! maybe you should keep your eye out for it, it has a recipe book with it.. lol Link to comment
Lily04 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Do you mean the George Foreman grill? That's really popular, I had one when I lived on campus in university, and it was great for cooking chicken (basically the only thing I used it for.. I don't like hot dogs or eggs much, which a lot of ppl. seem to use it for.) Could be a good investment... Link to comment
bebecole Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 nooo its not the george foreman, its kinda like that but its smaller but its a things where you can crack a egg in it an it will cook. stuff like that.. its on a infomercial. ill see if i can find it online. lol but the george foreman grill is good Link to comment

annie24 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 link removed Last night, I just made the mexican tortilla soup with chicken and lime. It was sooooooo good! And very healthy! Only about 250 calories. And it was so yummy and fresh! Link to comment

Low in carbs and Fu**ing tasty!!! Be careful with ceasar salad! Depending on how it's made, it can have as much as 1000 calories! That's as much as two big macs! Yes, it is low in carbs, but very high in fat! Go easy on the cheese, use light caesar salad dressing, light on bacons also. Link to comment
teacup Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 grilled eggplant with tomato sauce, cheese and basil on top? now that is what im making. ur drooling i know. Link to comment
teacup Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 And we all know how much the ladies appreciate a guy who can cook. that must be a stereotype. but i think all ladies like to be TAKEN OUT for a nice meal. Link to comment
doyathink Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Heres an easy one that a single guy can do in minutes. Smotherd chicked or smothered steak. Low fat and carbs. Chicken breast or steak one can cream of (mushroom for steak) or (chicken for chicken) soup bake at 350 for 30 min or until center is done! I like to do this if I'm not in the mood to cook or want something fast and it's soooo good. Link to comment
