One of my challenges has been finding Anytime meals that I enjoy and feel are satisfying. Also, I was getting sick of eggs and hated adding veggies to them like good doc JB recommends.
However, I happened upon a simple dish called the Fritatta, which I’m absolutely loving. So, I thought I’d share and see if anyone else has some simple Anytime meals that they love. JB also calls them “Magic Bullet” meals, which are the ones you can make in a batch and eat several times during the week.
Fritatta… the great thing about this is it’s versatility.
Preheat oven to the top broil setting. Move your rack almost to the bottom.
Grab whatever veggies you want – onions, shrooms, broccoli, etc. Maybe throw in a lean meat – chicken sausage or turkey bacon. And cook 'em up in a little bit of oil in a non-stick OVEN SAFE omlette pan. If you’re using spinach, throw it in at the end and just stir until it wilts.
Take as many eggs/egg whites as many as you want, and whip those bitches up with a fork. Pour into pan. Throw a little shredded cheese on top.
Let cook without stirring, until bottom is firm, but top is still gooey.
Put in oven and let broil for about 4 minutes until top is getting a little golden and puffy.
Take out, let sit. Eat. Marvel at how damn tasty it is, even with broccoli.
The mixture should be about an inch deep or so in the pan for the best effect.
Time saving tip:
Make this in a larger pan and reheat a portion for a few seconds in the microwave later.
So… anybody else have any great Anytime recipes to share? Come on, don’t be shy…
200-250g of meat: extra lean ground beef, ground buffalo, ground chicken, ground turkey, or just chicken breast, thighs, steak, lean pork, what ever you made extra of last night
100g green leafy veggies (spinach, romaine, ruccola, etc. - anything but iceberg)
50g red chard, red cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, other veggies
red onion or other veggies to flavour
oils and fats:
cooking: olive, canola or macadamia
balancing meat fats:
chicken lean (breast, skinless): nuts, olive or macadamia on salad, flax meal, fish oil
pork and beef: walnuts, flax meal, fish oil
chicken, fatty (leg, or with skin): flax meal, fish oil
how to use this template:
pick a meat, dice it if need be. if you have leftovers, the selection has been made for you.
pick a veggie from each of the categories, chop it up.
balance your fats based on which it is imbalanced in, for lean chicken, it will be all fats since total fat is nearly nil. for beef and pork, polyunsaturated fat are absent, thus high omega 6 content nuts like walnuts balanced with flax meal or fish oil will suffice to balance. fatty chicken is quite balanced in fat other than being low in omega 3, so flax meal and fish oil are all that is required.
mix all the stuff together in a plastic container and put some oil in a small container (could be olive oil vinegrette, macadamia oil, olive oil, something healthy), tote, pour small container on before you want to eat, presto, complete meal with all you need, lean protein, healthy fats - balanced, veggies - acid-base balance in check, good type of fiber - its there. even Berardi would be proud.
when im in a hurry, or just really dont feel like cooking, this is what i do.
1 can diet coke
1 can white albacore tuna
Blend it all together, drink it down, i like to chase it with a big glass of V-8. Its not nearly as bad as it sounds, and it gets the job done quickly as a good snack.

Lol I donno dude, that sounds pretty fucking terrible
I like 1 egg, 4 egg whites cooked and scrambled with 1 serv of low fat cheese and ground pepper rolled up in a wheat tortilla with some medium salsa. Its out of Eating for life by Bill Phillips, theres some good recipes in there. I dont know about the tuna and diet coke thing either and like, what goes through your mind before you try that the first time. Just wondering!?

It went something like this…
“dammit, i need to get some protein in quick, ive got this can of diet coke, and ive got this can of tuna, i think i once heard somebody say that they blended them together, i think ill try that”
and then it didnt make me gag, so its a daily thing now.
I love chili. I made a big pot just an hour ago, and it is delicious. I used a pound of hot turkey sausage along with the hamburg, and oh is it ever good!

Dude!
As much as I love Diet Coke… I don’t know.
Though I kind of feel like a gauntlet has been thrown down.
Also, you need to add a healthy fat. So, you could either use canned salmon instead, or add a handful of mixed nuts.

noted, i will add a handful of walnuts next time, not to the shake. Im not sure even i could do that, for some reason that seems to be too much, where just fish and soda seems fine, but add in nuts, and thats just crazy.

Crazy… by blending do you mean making into a paste?
[quote]WS4JB wrote:
nope, its a liquid, i’ll even throw a little bit of ice in there, its like a Coke-Tuna slushy.

That sounds absolutely HORRID.
The 5 minute meal you won’t get tired of:
Prep Day:
Marinade a VAST amount of dead animals for a day or two. (Cows and chickens work the best, though the odd raccoon…)
Spend you rest day drinking beer and grilling dead animals. After grilling slice’em and dice’em. What you don’t eat put in tupperware and refridgerate until needed.
When Hungry:
One Tortilla
Add shredded cheese to tortilla and nuke it. (30-40 seconds)
Add Spinach
Add sufficient amount of dead animal. (if feeling froggy nuke the dead animal first to have hot meat for your mouth)

Wasn’t that a favorite of Milos Sarcev’s? I remember reading about it in one of the muscle rags back in the day, in an article about some kid who idolized him and won a contest to train with him. The kid talked about drinking tuna and diet coke shakes like his “hero”, Milos (at least, I’m pretty sure it was him).
