Trying to get ideas for those nights when I need something healthy but easy.

Re: What are your grains, vegetables and proteins?

protein:

salmon
scallops
shrimp
chicken
turkey
bison

veggies:
salad greens (all kinds)
peppers (red, yellow, orange)
onions (usually roasted with peppers)
broccoli
peas
sweet potatoes
asparagus
green beans
brussel sprouts
tomatoes (usually through sauce)
pumpkin (from a can - it's actually really good heated with some brown sugar, cinnamon and little butter)

to make it easier for myself, i get quite of few of these frozen

grains:
brown rice - that's it sorry that i'm no help here. i do make a lot early in the week since it takes nearly and hour to cook

Re: What are your grains, vegetables and proteins?

Proteins:
Chicken--grilled, baked, breaded, or cut into strips and pan-fried for fajatas or stirfry

Steaks--I buy them from Omaha steaks mainly, bacon wrapped filet mignons. Also buy premarinated strip steaks or London broil.

Vegetables:
Corn
Green beans pan sauteed with garlic and EVOO

Grains:
Rice--I make my own RiceaRoni with broken Vermicelli pasta in it, also rice pilaf and plain white rice.
Risotto
Couscous
Pasta

Potatoes (not really a veg, not really a grain)--baked, mashed, fried, roasted

Re: What are your grains, vegetables and proteins?

Grains: mostly couscous or quinoa, sometimes barley, rarely rice

Veggies: whatever is in season, lately a lot of zucchini, okra, sweet potatoes, and green beans

Proteins: DH mostly eats chicken and pork, I eat mostly tofu, tempeh, and beans
