Recipes and advice for a teen who feeds herself?

I work, i use most of the money to buy good organic food, and i eat it myself. I do have a mother, but she is gone every other week and we rarely see eachother. She is a good cook, but for the past couple of years she has eaten little or she eats very bad food.





So are there simple, quick and easy things I can make?





I basically live off eggs, avocados, olives, dairy products, chicken, beef, salmon, tuna, berries, tomatoes, and occasionally bread.





I love it, but its getting old, and I'm running out of ways to prepare canned tuna! especially for school.....





i'm 17 and have little cooking experienceRecipes and advice for a teen who feeds herself?

For school, have you tried cooking chicken breasts on the weekend and slicing to use them in sandwiches, salads, and wraps during the week? Add sprouts, lettuce (not iceberg), tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, fresh basil %26amp; rosemary, avocado, or cheese. (You can broil the chicken breasts - put them in the broiler for 5-10 minutes, flip them over, cook for 5-10 min, more, check to see if they are cooked through. I always finish mine off in the microwave cause I can't seem to get them to cook through without burning on the outside. Marinades can be added for flavor.) Or egg salad sandwiches on whole-grain bread.


Don't be afraid to eat good whole grains and other fruits and veggies.


I encourage you to invest in a few good cookbooks and read through them - not just the recipes but the other stuff in the intro. Many cookbooks have info about cooking methods - I learned a lot about cooking this way.
I never buy organic, but a couple things you mentioned are easy to prepare. Chicken and beef can be roasted, which is super easy (get the details online but basically you just stick it in the oven adn set the timer). Do you like omelets? Pretty much anything can be put in an omelet and be good, and they're fast. You can make a veggie version with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, or make it a meaty one with bacon (if you eat it) or sausage or even pepperoni. Food Network and Kraft both have great instructions and videos that will show you teh basics.
There are a lot of things you can do with chicken. It seems like you eat really healthy. Have you ever tried ground turkey? Well i love avacados and if you make a turkey burger, which trust me I dont even like turkey, season it right and put some avacado with tomoatoes and a little onion in it its a great burger. If you go in the salad dressing aisle the kraft dressings some of them also say marinades make the best chicken. I usually cut the chicken into pieces marinade them for a couple hours and then fry them in a pan you don't even need any oil. Try eating it over rice which is also very healthy for you. instead of using bread you can make wraps they have all different kinds out there now. If you put chicken, avacado, lettuce and tomato in a tortilla wrap it would make a great meal.
Salsa and chips! Chop up tomatoes and avocados, pepper and salt, lime = homemade salsa.





Also, a really good dish is microwaved salmon. Put some celery sticks and garlic cloves sliced in half on the bottom of glassware, set the salmon on top, put soy sauce (or any other sauce mixture you like) on top, (if you're going for an asian taste, use sour plums by rubbing them over the salmon and crushing them slightly), add water (until its right below the surface of the salmon), then microwave for about 10 minutes depending on size of portion. It's really fast and depending on your sauce it tastes really good.
