Q. I just inherited my grandma's old bread machine and I'm interested in making some bread that we can eat on a daily basis for sandwiches, toast, etc. Something whole grain/wheat maybe with some flax seed etc added in to save some money and avoid all the enriched and bleached flour bread at the grocery store. What are some great recipes for healthy bread?
Thanks!
Thanks!

How to perfect my pizza sandwich recipe?
Q. I made up this recipe but I want some herbs to make the taste BAM into your mouth. So far it's just melted cheese and a healthy mix of tomato paste (with garlic and some bits of onion mixed through) between two thick slices of bread.
Any food you would put in it or any herbs you would suggest. I am aiming for it to taste like a homemade pizza. I would like to make it so the garlic bursts and shows itself clearly.

A. Oregano would be the best herb to add. It goes great with cheese and tomatoes and is always in pizza. Oooh, and make sure you add some black pepper too.
To bring the garlic out more, try rubbing a clove on the bread first, or grating a TINY bit of raw garlic in. The flavour's incredibly strong when it's raw, so it'll definitely bring out the garlickiness, but don't overdo it!

10 points for the most ideas for all the meals\snacks!
10 points for the most ideas for all the meals\snacks!
A. Breakfast:
- Egg whites (better for you than the whole egg) with a little salt and pepper, maybe some cheese to add flavor, on wheat toast.
- Grapefruit (it's sooo healthy for you, it can be a snack too)
- Cottage Cheese Pancakes: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/351
- Oatmeal
- All fruit smoothie. Have non frozen fruit and add ice or use frozen fruit and add a little 100% fruit juice. You can make it a *healthy* milk shake by using low fat milk instead of juice and adding a little sugar (sugar isn't unhealthy in small amounts, but fake sugar like sweet and low and equal are bad for you)
Lunch/Dinner:
- Chicken breast with lemon pepper or other seasonings
- A spinach tortilla with chicken cooked in some bbq sauce. Add lots of lettuce and a little bit of light ranch (like a teaspoon, if even that).
- Salad- there are thousands of possible salads you can make but what I love doing is a bunch of lettuce, some spinach if you like that, salt, pepper, garlic (powder and only a small amount) and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, or even carrots and peppers
- Taco Salad: brown some lean beef, drain any fat, add seasonings (McCormick has a taco seasoning packet for 50 cents). Make a bowl full of lettuce, tomatoes if you want, some beef, some cheese if you want, and tortilla chips if you want (less healthy version).
- Chicken in a bag- McCormick's has these awesome chicken bag seasonings where you throw chicken in the bag (they provide) with some carrots, potatoes, whatever you want, add the seasoning and bake for about an hour. One of my husbands favorites!
- Costco sells individual salmon fillets. Take one out of the fridge/freezer, season to your liking, throw on a pan, the grill, or in the oven and cook.
- a sandwich- between whole wheat bread slices, pita style, or wrapped up (spinach wraps are really delicious, or whole wheat wraps which I'm not a huge fan of).
- Make some quinoa or brown rice in a rice cooker or in a pot if you don't have one. Add some black beans, salt and pepper, and some mozzarella if it's still to bland. I like to add some sriracha (chili hot sauce) into the rice as it cooks and some garlic seasoning. It adds some kick and makes it taste really good without adding the sodium from cheese.
Snacks:
- peppers
- celery. If you hate it alone add some organic peanut butter (no preservatives) you can even go to many stores and grind your own peanuts into peanut butter.
- peas, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, other vegetables but not potatoes or corn.
- apples, pears, bananas, berries, grapefruit, and other fruits.
- some nuts or a homemade trail mix (raisins, peanuts, almonds, some dark chocolate chips, whatever else you want)
Dessert
- a small amount of dark chocolate is actually really good for you. The higher the cocoa content the better :) But only a small amount.
