[quote=Anonymous]Whole roasted chickens at Whole Foods are not expensive, and easy. I pick up about one a week -- good choice if you have a WF near you or on your way home. Add a salad, steamed vegetable, some rice or potatoes and you're set.

Lots of fruit (not easy this time of year). Bake pumpkin pies out of the leftover Halloween pumpkins! Or use canned pumpkin and stevia or xylitol for sweetener.

Pasta, rice, potatoes, chicken thighs from Trader Joe's, frozen vegetables, quinoa (I think this is a grain? not sure). Marinate the chicken thighs in barbeque sauce, pop in oven, and they are done in 30-40 minutes. Ham slices with pineapple, just pour canned, fresh or frozen pineapple over a thick slice of cooked ham (from Trader Joe's), pop in oven at 300 for 25 minutes, and you have a basic dinner, adding some vegetable and potatoes. French fries (yes, I buy them frozen, but read the labels and get the ones without a lot of junk in them), turkeyburgers (mix ground turkey with ketchup, egg, grain-free bread crumbs or almond meal, s&p), ditto lamb/pork/turkey meatloaf.

I bake TJ's pork loin with cherries (can't remember which kind, bottled from TJ's), which everyone loves. Very easy. Just marinate overnight and pop in the oven for about 40 minutes.

In the winter we eat a lot of TJ's frozen organic vegetables, mostly peas and green beans, asparagus when available. Everyone gets sick of them by March, but they are quick and taste OK with a little mayonnaise on the asparagus, faux butter (get at WF) on the other veggies, or just salt and they are fine.

Carrot sticks and hummos are a staple, rice crackers, Mary's Gone crackers (your daughter may like them, and no sugar).

We use almost no processed food, except for prepared mustard and chocolate sauce. Everyone's fairly healthy. Sugar is the problem for our family as everyone loves sweets. If you are careful not to buy any cookies, sugar, etc. and use stevia and xylitol for sweeteners, you can manage, but it's difficult! [/quote]
