Q & A   Questions & Answer  Q & A

A:

Keep slices of chicken, turkey, ham, etc on hand. Roll up lettuce and tomato with a meat slice. Or roll up meat and cheese. Meat and vegetable. Do not use bread for these roll ups.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages for two people such as:
Beef tips with gravy,
Roast with gravy,
Pork roast,
Chicken,
Baked ham,
Pork chops,
Meatloaf,
etc.
Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.
Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.
.
You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.
.
Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag…add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.
.
Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.
.
Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches.
.
You can buy all types of salad greens in lagre packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.
.
2. The top brands of frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish. Look for the words “No Preservatives” marked on the box.
.
3. This is one of our favorites, we have a baked potato with it:

.
4. Supermarket deli’s have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often…they are delicious.
.
5. You have GOT to buy a crock pot (also called slow cooker). You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.
There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy them at places such as Walmart, and etc.

Yes the best daily food for you to maintain strength and more to stay from any kind of old age sickness leading to our assured death is to eat daily plenty of vegetables and fruits. Maintain super vitamins daily like taking even 6 or 8 complete vitamin capsules everyday and most of all be religious in your daily exercise even 30 minutes everyday after you wake up in the morning between 5 an 6 am.
I’m already 67 years young without any sickness whatsoever in the last more than 20 years. If I was able to maintain those years of strict discipline, I can just easily carry it through for the next 33 years if there is no “Heavenly Rapture” as promised by God in the Bible (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18) My mother in Oceanside California is already 86 years young without any sickness. Just maintain her 30 minutes daily exercise. Good luck.
