A really easy one you can do is a veggie casserole

Get a baking dish about 1 inch deep

Slice up some potatoes, you don't even have to peel them, just wash them off good, and slice them into circles about 1/4 inch thick.

Put one layer of the potatoes in the dish

Dice up some onions, garlic, asparagus,peppers, and any other veggies you have on hand.

Put a layer of the veggies on top of the potatoes.

Put a few dots of butter on top.

Keep layering, potatoes, veggies, butter, and finish with potatoes on top.

Pour 1/2 cup of milk (skim,1%,2%) over the potatoes, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, then put some cheese on top.

Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven, for 35 minutes.



This should only take about 10-15 minutes to throw together, and you can just relax while it cooks.



PS: you could also add a can of tuna to the veggie mix, to get some meat in there



Hope this helps! Keep trying to eat healthy, it's worth it.

Steaming Vegetables

Steaming is the healthiest way to prepare vegetables. If you do not have a steamer, you might consider getting one. They are relatively inexpensive and would be a good investment. In the video above, a whole potful of various steamed vegetables is cooked in about 10 minutes.

You need outside help. Is there a home economics class at your school that you could take to learn to cook? Talk to the home ec teacher right away and see if she can give you after hours tips and ideas. Speak to your school nurse, too, about nutrition; she can give you more info and ideas. Do some of your friends cook? Or their moms? Maybe they'd like to share their thoughts and techniques with you. Also, here's a good website for you to check out:

Good luck to you and change your doctor immediately. You won't lack anything that fish can provide if you eat a balanced vegetarian diet. Just take a Vitamin B-12 supplement once a day.
Rice and beans are healthy and cheap. Buy a few cans of different kinds of beans for variety; such as black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, great northern beans, etc. Brown rice is healthier but white rice is faster to make. You can just heat some canned beans and serve over rice.

I also like stir fry Here is the recipe~

1 lb. steaks, 3/4'; thick

2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 large red or green bell peppers

1/4-1/2 hot pepper (or to taste)

2 celery stalks, thinly sliced

5 large cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons Marsala or other red wine

1/2 lb. fresh or 2 4oz cans mushrooms

about 1/2 cup water or beef broth

1/2 teaspoon beef soup base (optional)

1 tablespoon flour

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon butter

salt, pepper, seasonings (optional)



Using a sharp slicing knife, slice the steaks as thinly as possible into strips, cutting across to make thin strips about 3/4'; in width. Trim away and discard fat and sinew. Tough cuts of meat may also be used for this recipe; just simmer the sliced beef a bit longer before adding in the remaining ingredients. Alternatively, purchase pre-sliced stir-fry beef or have your butcher cut it for you (but this convenience will come at a premium - be your own butcher for the most economy!)

Saut茅 steak strips with thinly sliced onions in a few tablespoons olive oil and a tablespoon of butter, stirring often. Add cored and diced peppers and sliced celery, along with a small amount of hot pepper. Add more olive oil if needed.



Add garlic after meat has browned. Add a few tablespoons of wine to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle flour over meat and stir. As sauce thickens, add a few tablespoons of water or beef broth to thin out to desired consistency. Stir in soy sauce.



Note: Be sure to taste what you're cooking! Adjust seasonings, adding beef soup base or bouillon, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and hot pepper, optionally, if more flavor is desired.



Cover and simmer over low heat until meat is tender (about 20-30 minutes); stir in mushrooms and cook 1-2 more minutes (only until mushrooms are heated through).



Serve over steamed rice, buttered noodles or chow mein noodles.



Variation: Add 1 lb broccoli raab halfway through the cooking time. Cook until broccoli raab is tender but still a bright green color.
