My mother in law passed away, and my father in law has never cooked. Does anyone have any healthy easy recipes?

oven pot roast





1 large deep roasting pan rectangle or oval is good (it can be used for many other meals.)





1 pk oven pot roast seasoning with the bag


1 2-3 lb. cut of beef chuck or shoulder roast or any-type such as pork or even chicken





cut up some carrots and add some potatoes and onions chopped large or use medium to small whole ones.


put a little flour in the bag, shake it and leave it in the bag add the ingredients above. tie the bag as directed, use a fork to make at least 3 sections of holes on top of the bag.





Put it in the oven for the directed amount of time.


when you take it out let it set for at least ten minutes before you open it so you won't be burned by the steam.





This can be done on top of the stove too in a heavy pot with a good


fitting top.


I sautee' onion and bellpepper with a little oil or margerine


When I do this I just add a cup or can of water after all the meat is in the pot. just enough to be 1/3 of the way up.


you can use any veggie you like root veggies are the best. for long cooking . 1-1/2 hours simmer check to make sure at 1 hour water is still in pan. add a little if needed.


just add your seasonings like worstershire sauce,thyme,salt, pepper.


I add garlic and or garlic powder and onion powder also I like to use


curry powder from time to time just to change it up. Sometimes I use chicken in stead of beef then I add a can of tomatoes chopped and some powderd cloves. I then make some white rice or brown rice and just put the meat mixture on top when served.





Sometimes I just use onion celery garlic and thyme with the chicken and I might add poultry seasoning or sage. Sometimes parsley , rosemary poultry seasoning. salt to taste . not a lot





This is easy too


Chicken legs whole 3-4


seasonings water


celery seeds or chopped celery no more than 1 stock


cook in a pot on stove medium heat 45 minutes to 1 hour chicken will break down remove add rice cook 14-18 minutes you can remove the bones or leave them in add the chicken back to rice add pepper to taste good stick to your ribs chicken.





Disorno has great pizza good to add a salad.








These meals are easy and can be used with any veggie they like.





Many grocery stores have a rotisserie chicken already done and all he would have to do is heat it up or he can buy it hot. They have salad mix and he can add cucumber and tomatoes and cheese if he likes.


They have veggies that are made and need to be heated. Or he can just heat some corn or green veggies.





Turkey slices and gravy can be heated together.


rice can be made in 18 minutes


green veggies can be steamed or just used with the microwave to heat it.








Also There are really good soups by Campbell's they are thick and have a lot of meat and veggies. This is good with crackers or salad and crusty bread.





sphaghetti and meat balls or meat sauce is easy


2lb.ground beef browned /drained


then add cover and simmer till hot at least 4 minutes


spaghettie sauce with bell pepper and mushroom


( I do not like the ones with meat sauce there is not enough meat and not enough sauce)


1 lb spaghetti boiled and drained


this whole meal takes about 20 minutes to prepare


even if someone would like garlic bread it takes 10 minutes in the oven.

i am sorry to hear about your mother in law. here is a very easy and healthy recipe for your father in law. really, it could not be simpler:





ingredients:


1/2 pound fresh salmon fillet


extra-virgin olive oil


garlic salt


pepper


lemon juice


white wine if desired





instructions:


take a baking sheet and place a large piece of tin foil on it. fold the sides of the tin foil up so you have a ';pan'; shape so the oil cannot leak. place salmon fillet in middle of foil ';pan';. on the salmon fillet, put 2 tbsps of extra-virg olive oil and 1 tbsp of lemon juice %26amp; rub it in. if white wine is desired, pour 1-2 tbsps on top of the fillet. sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper to taste. fold the sides of the foil ';pan'; up and together and seal to make a packet. set the sealed packet on the baking sheet and bake in oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. be careful opening - there will be steam. serve with a little bit of melted butter mixed with a touch of lemon juice and salt (i usually make this in a mug in the mircrowave when the fish is done).





i usually serve this with rice, potato, or steamed veggies.My mother in law passed away, and my father in law has never cooked. Does anyone have any healthy easy recipes?
Bookstores should have beginner cookbooks if he is open to trying them. In the meantime, learning cooking techniques will be important so that understand what the cookbooks are talking about.


Check with local community colleges, grocery stores, local cooking schools about beginner's classes he might take. Having someone show him and walk him through the terms will be a great help.


If you community is so small that classes aren't possible, try your library or video store for cooking show DV D's. Or you might record shows from some of the food networks for him. Some of these shows do a pretty good job of teaching the how and why. Perhaps too, they will tempt him to branch out a little in flavor.


You would also be doing him a favor by getting him information about nutritional needs that are age appropriate for him. (Local hospitals should have staff nutritionists who can guide you to those resources. They may also have nutrition classes he might enjoy.)


You're a sweet daughter-in-law to help support him in this way. Good-luck.
