Cooking Healthy Meals For One

Cooking healthy meals for one can be considered a chore that most single people prefer not to attempt.  Who the hell wants to cook for themselves when you can get something to go much quicker without the clean up.  Plus, I hate doing dishes!  Yes, I know they can be put into the dishwasher that does all the work for you but I still hate doing dishes.

I am one of those people that really don’t care to eat out often because I love the taste of my own cooking and quite honestly I haven’t found a restaurant that makes me want to eat at their establishment on a regular basis.  Granted I live in Las Vegas the city of numerous amazing restaurants but I still prefer my own cooking.

I keep promising to do some video and find myself not doing it.  Why?  Lord alone knows ;-)

Now I must say even though I have been single for most of this year I really haven’t cooked very much at all.  With all the traveling I did this year I did end up eating out more than I cared too and sometimes it was food I had no right putting in my body but did anyways.

So, since I’ve been home for 6 weeks now from my last trip of the year it was hard getting back into the groove of things but found that I really just wanted to cook my own meals.  I have a great peppered shrimp recipe that I can’t wait to share with you, my spinach dish that makes your mouth water or a new style of mash potatoes that had me eating it for 3 days.

But today I want to share my cornish hen recipe with you.  It smells so good for it’s cooking in the oven while I write my blog ;-) …  I’m so hungry ;-)

Stacy’s Cornish Hen Cassarole

Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees
1 Cornish Hen
1 cup carrots (cut in 1 inch pieces)
1 cup zucchini
1 cup potatoes (cut in 1 inch pieces)
1 cup of onions (cut in 1 inch pieces)
1/2 cup of Chicken or Vegetable Stock
1/4 up of Green Seasoning for your Cornish hen
1/2 Lemon Or Lime
6 tbsp of butter (diced)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Prepare your cornish hen by taking it out of the bag and rinsing it with cold water, washing away any juices from being in the bag. Then place cornish hen in a bowl adding 1/2 a lemon or lime, green seasoning and 1/2 tsp of seasoning salts. Stir and massage the seasoning into your cornish hen.

In your baking dish pour 1 tsp of olive oil and spread around the dish. Add your cornish hen in the middle and your potatoes, carrots, zucchini and onions around the hen. Place some cubes of butter on the top of the hen and veggie. Cover and place in over to bake for 45 mins to 1hr.

OK so I just pulled it out of the oven and the smell is just heavenly ;-)

I hope you enjoy cooking healthy meals for one as much as I am right now lol….  Bye….
