homemade healthy sandwich bread recipe image
Kate Sterl
I am going into senior and need some healthy choices to get fit and healthy!
Any ideas?
Answer
Fresh and dried fruit is really good for snacks.
For lunch I make a big batch of pasta (with whatever sauce I feel like) and then eat it for lunch during the week. It usually keeps well and tates great. You can also have wraps, salad sandwiches, and other breads with salad fillings. I take cous cous (which can be a bit messy) and leftover dinner.
The easiest that I find is little cans of tuna (but obviously only if you like the taste of tuna.)
You can take vegetables like carrots etc. for snacks as well.
Take a drink bottle as it is easy to mistake thirst for hunger. Just make sure you don't drink too much as you will need to go to the toilet during class.
You can make healthy muffins (with fruit etc in them). Look on google for healthy muffin recipes.
Cheese and crackers are good - just make sure that you get low fat cheese.
If you make grilled homemade pizzas with healthy ingredients, you can then take them to school the next day.
Nuts are also great for quick snacks.

Answer
Common herbs and spices may help protect against certain chronic conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
Herbs, including basil and parsley, are from plants and plant parts. Spices often come from the seeds, berries, bark, or roots of plants. You can purchase fresh herbs in most supermarkets and produce shops. Almost all groceries and supermarkets carry a variety of dried herbs and spices.
Seasonings, such as cinnamon, often lead lists of commonly eaten foods with the highest levels of measured antioxidant activity.
You don’t need to make drastic changes in your eating plan to benefit from seasonings. Here’s how to incorporate more herbs and spices into your favorite foods.
Fresh herbs are healthier than dried and can be used as a garnish for your rice, eggs, chicken, beef, etc. Dried herbs are best cooked with your rice, chicken etc. Ground seasonings can be used as a garnish, but use lightly and as an ingredient in the cooking process of recipes.
Ground cinnamon: Add 1.25 teaspoons to prepared oatmeal; 1 cup Greek yogurt mixed with 2 teaspoons molasses or honey, or artificial sweetener; and French toast batter.
Sprinkle half a teaspoon of cinnamon over ground coffee before brewing.
Top a fat-free latte or hot cocoa with ground cinnamon. Toss rice with ground cinnamon and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Chili peppers: Add chopped peppers to chili, burgers, soups, stews, salsa, and egg dishes.
Turmeric: Sprinkle on egg salad. Mix half a teaspoon turmeric with 1 cup Greek yogurt and use as a dip or sandwich spread.
Add to chicken or seafood casseroles, and to water when cooking rice.
Garlic: Add fresh chopped or minced garlic to pasta dishes, stir-fry dishes, pizza, fresh tomato sauce, and meat and poultry recipes.
Oregano: Add 1/8 teaspoon dried to scrambled eggs, salad dressings, and store-bought or homemade marinara sauce.
Sprinkle some on top of pizza, and stir into black bean soup.
Basil: Make a sandwich with low-fat mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves; add fresh leaves to green salads. Fresh Basil is good mixed into eggs or sprinkled on chicken.
Thyme: Sprinkle dried thyme onto cooked vegetables in place of butter or margarine.
Add 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme to two scrambled eggs, and to salad dressings.
Use it in a rub when cooking salmon.
Add fresh thyme to chicken salad and chicken soup.
Rosemary: Add dried crushed rosemary to mashed potatoes and vegetable omelets.
Parsley: Add chopped flat leaf parsley to meatballs and meat loaf, and to bulgur salad.
Ginger: Grate fresh ginger into quick bread batters and vinaigrettes.
Add chopped ginger to stir-fries. Sprinkle ground ginger on cooked carrots.
Cloves: Sprinkle ground cloves on applesauce, add to quick bread batters, and add a pinch to hot tea.
