My boyfriend is living in a detached garage so he's been eating take-out a lot, which has, lately, been causing health problems (obviously.)
We're going to get some supplies so he can eat healither. As of now, he only has a grill and a kettle.
Anyone have any simple healthy recipes and what we can get (electric skillet, countertop oven, etc etc) to make healthy stuff?
I need a list of essentials

If you get a countertop oven, get an oversized convection oven since it works even better than a regular oven for most baking. An electric burner and a 3-4qt pressure cooker is very practical. Learning how to use a small pressure cooker will save a lot of time and energy. You can make rice in less than 10 minutes, and most veggies faster than that. You can buy inexpensive meat like chuck and round, whatever's on sale, to tenderize the meat in less than an hour for chili, stews, soups, potroast, and desserts like rice pudding. Stews would normally take 2-3 hours. A pressure cooker also helps to ensure that chicken is cooked properly. I suggest the Magefesa Practika Plus or the Fagor Rapida/Splendid 2-in-1 models, which I use personally.
Lowe's sells a 4.4 cu. ft compact fridge for under $ 300 that is great for small rooms. Unlike most compact fridges, it has a separate freezer compartment that's frost free. It's big enough to be useful, but a lot smaller than a regular fridge. I have 3 of them, one for myself and two for roommates. You can get a 10% off Lowes coupon at most US Postoffices in their moving pack coupons.
