   My boyfriend usually makes salmon/chicken w/spice if we wanna eat something healthy. Natural spices or whatever. It’s also tasty, not to mention cheap. ;D

   This is something that I find quite tasty… im not giving the recipe, just a suggestion.. for something healthy, I perfer baked meat, such as chicken breasts, with a side of I think it is called broccoli pasta, it is like mac n cheese but with itty bitty peices of broccoli. And if you want something a bit easier, try a baked chicken sandwich, or some chicken alfredo (available in hamburger helper brand) chicken is a healthy alternitive, unless your little sister is a fish fan, which I doubt.lol.. the chicken alfredo isn’t that fatty, or processed.. it is my favorite food! And you are a very good big sister or brother, making sure your sister eats healthy.. wish every big sibiling was like that..

   I hate to even think what hamburger helper is!
   Make a nice omelet.Add any of their favourite things to it like ham,capsicum,mushrooms,tomato etc.Good & healthy food. Serve with crusty rolls & a fresh salad.

   Good for you wanting to take some initiative, help your mom, please your sister. Starting with Hamburger Helper is an okay strategy. But if you can do that, you can also learn to make a healthier chili or a meat sauce for pasta with little extra effort.

   Try to put some vegetables or fruit out as healthy sides. Hamburger helper with broccoli and some grapes is better for your family than takeout fast food.

   You can learn to bake, roast, plan sides, salads, etc. in time.

   Margarita Chicken

   Its a quick (about 20 minute from refrigerater to plate) fun easy and totally DELICIOUS meal and less that 400 calories per serving!.

   Ingredients:
   1 can black beans, drained
   1/2 tsp cumin
   Juice of 1 lime
   Salt and Pepper to taste
   1 tbs Olive oil
   4 boneless skinless chicken breast (about 6oz each)
   1 Cup salsa (I prefer Salsa Verde, its a nice balance between acidity and spice and the colors look nice)
   1 Cup shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
   Chopped Fresh Cilantro

   Preheat your Oven to 450… Combine the BLACK BEANS and CUMIN in a saucepan and heat all the way through squeeze the LIME JUICE and adjust the seasoning with SALT AND PEPPER. Remove from heat, but warm before serving.

   Heat the OIL in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the CHICKEN all over with SALT AND PEPPER and sear in the hot pan for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until a nice crust develops, then flip. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a baking dish (if your pan/Skillet is not oven safe) spoon the SALSA over the meat, top with CHEESE and place in the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is fully melted and bubbling, about 5-10 minutes depending on size of chicken breast.
   …… reheat the Bean mixture, Divide evenly among the plates, top with chicken, and garnish with CILANTRO.

   I would check out http://www.eatbetteramerica.com/ This is one of my FAVORITE websites for healthy recipes

   Personally when i’m eatting healthy I stick with baked and grilled meats such as baked/grilled chicken with some kind of veggie on the side (Example: Grilled Chicken with Brocolli and Brown Rice)

    red pepper flakes (if you like it hot)
    tomatoe diced
    2 cans black beans
    2 cans corn
    1 purple onion
    olive oil

    sautee onion thick slices, olive oil, cilantra and chipotle seasoning. Add in chicken. In mean time drain and rinse black beans and corn. Add some chipotle seasoning and cilantra and microwave or heat on stove top.

    Then, add tomatoes to chicken/onion mixture for 1-2 minutes. Add this whole mixture to the bean mixture. Mix gently and serve with either soft flour shells or on lettuce as lettuce wraps. Also good with a dab of light sour cream.

    SO healthy, SO yummy!!!!!
