O.k. I know this is going to sound like a total cooking cop-out but there is this dish "side dish" they sell at Target, "Archer Farms" Vindaloo. Oh my, if you like Indian cuisine, it is actually pretty good and reading the back it has minimal (Citric and Acetic acid only) preservatives. It is a wonderful side dish/Vegetarian main dish. It is relatively healthy, low in fat (sauce is rich though) and at about $2.00 each serving, a bargain. I love to eat it all by itself, Rice with "a little" sauce and peas/potato curry with chutney, add some toasted naan bread, my husband likes it served with steak or lamb and grilled naan bread "Yum". It is really fast and really inexpensive, and again, really delicious. They also have a Red Garlic Curry, it also pretty good. If you like Indian cuisine and curry that is.
I do cook, but being old south, I do it with a lot of butter and lard, my recipes are raw or fried, just kidding. I don't do a whole lot of cooking right now, but I do try to eat healthy and to serve a quick, inexpensive, healthy meal for the family, one that the boys will eat, which is usually not what I eat.
