What are some good easy vegetarian recipes?

Ah, who gi

My mum doesn't ever cook and only heats already-made meals, such as pizza or something unhealthy. Or she just makes chips or a chicken sandwich, so I decided to start cooking. Well, I really don't know how to cook, so I'm hoping you can give me some easy vegetarian/vegan recipes??!

Thanks.

Answer
I use a lot of canned tomatoes and legumes when I cook. A really simple recipe for a vegetarian soup is to cut up an onion, a few cloves of garlic and shred half of a celeriac. Then heat up some oil in a pot and fry them for a little while. Make sure they don't burn. Add lentils, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock. Some water might be needed. Add salt, pepper and maybe some dried herbs.

If you google for easy vegetarian recipes you'll find lots of stuff. Since I don't know what kind of food you like it's a little hard to come up with tips, but vegetarian chili, Indian dal, pancakes (you can make them with half graham flour and eat them with fruit for a healthier meal), pasta primavera and veggie burgers seems to be popular with most people (vegetarian or not).

Does anyone have any good recipes for NuWave Oven?

healthy and delicious sandwich recipes image

layzeeej

I have lost my recipe book that it came with and would like some wonderful recipes. Thanks for your help.

Answer
Whole Frozen Turkey (10 pounds)

Buying a frozen turkey and making it in less than 2 1/2 hours is so easy and is an unexpected treat for the whole family.
Unwrap the frozen turkey and rinse in cold water. While still wet, season the outside as desired and place on liner pan or 1" rack breast side down. Nu-Wave on HI for 60 minutes. (At this point, the gizzards inside should be defrosted and you can remove for later use. Season or fill cavity with vegetables at this point). Turn turkey breast side up Nu-Wave on HI for another 75-90 minutes or until thermometer reads 165°F. If the skin is becoming too brown, cover with tin foil just as you would a conventional oven.
Let the bird sit as usual and use drippings from pan to make delicious gravy.
(If you want to make up to a 15 pound bird, see our extender ring.)
See Cooking Chart for more times and temperatures





FROZEN ROAST BEEF (4 pounds)

Buying a roast beef (or 2) on sale and freezing it for later saves time and money. Just take it out and, and under 2 hours, you can have a delightful surprise for the family.
Rinse the beef in cold water so any dry seasonings may adhere. Place roast on 1" rack, top side down. Nu-Wave on HI for 50 minutes. Turn over, top side up, and continue another 50 minutes (RARE) or more depending on your taste. Let sit 15 minutes and enjoy!

What is something easy and healthy a 14 year old girl can cook for dinner?

Chelyroro

i really want to cook dinner today for my dad because my mom left for a few days. i want to make something semi-difficult to impress him. it has to be something healthy but not too healthy like a salad. Also he is allergic to shellfish. Thanks!

Answer
I would recommend looking at some of the recipes on this site. Many of them are simple to make, but also healthy and still taste delicious! I pulled up the "quick and healthy" category I think, but the entire site has lots of create ideas from pro chefs on the food network.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/quick-and-simple/package/index.html

Try doing something like a pasta dish- those are easy because they do not require you to cook any meat. You could also make some sort of fancy sandwich, such as a meatball sub. Good Luck! :)

What to make for a meal for my 2 year olds bday party?

healthy chicken salad sandwich recipe grapes image

momofone

I would like to make lunch-appetizer deal and need some ideas. There will be lots of young kids there ranging from baby to age 12 but I don't just want to please the kids I want everyone to be happy and full! Should I make some salad sandwiches and soup and then add some kid friendly appetizers? Recipes would be great!!

Answer
Yeah, I`d do appetizers for the kids and the meal geared towards the adults. At that age kids will more interested in playing rather than eating. So, little bites is good.

Kids like hotdogs. And, hotdogs cut in half wrapped in crescent rolls is an easy one to do. If you want, you could even make a slice in the top and add a bit of american cheese. But, not all kids like cheese in their dogs.

Macaroni and cheese is another crowd pleaser for kids.
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/three-cheese-mini-macs
Or, use your own recipe or even stouffers and put some parm in the bottom of a muffin pan and bake to make the *cups*

And, pot stickers (we buy ours at SAMS). Both my kids really like chopped meats (pepporoni, salami, ham, turkey, and baloney, with cheeses all kids of cheese). You can use toothpicks to pick them up which all kids love. Those are easy no recipes required.

Alexia brand has sweet potato fries that are to die for. Just bake in the oven as directed on the package. Serve with motts applesauce spiked with cinnamin. I heat the applesauce to get it to reduce a bit - thicker. The babies can even eat this. And, the moms will be impressed that it is healthy. Just keep some bananas handy, those are easy for the babies to eat as well.

My kids like vegetable pizza, and I am happy to get them to eat veggies :)

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Vegetable-Pizza-I/Detail.aspx

I LOVE this pasta salad!! I swear it is the best ever. I get so many compliments and I have used all kinds of meats/cheese you can really play around with it. I have been craving this since I was pregnant...

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/American-Italian-Pasta-Salad/Detail.aspx

I didn`t have the pasta it called for and used fetticune instead and it was to die for. My youngest ate this up, he was 15 months at the time. I did double the dressing recipe and added the extra when serving. The pasta really does eat up the dressing. So creamy!!

I also enjoy broccoli salad. Just take a couple bunches of broccoli and use only the flower part. Chop to nice small bite size pieces. At this time, fry up about 1/2 pound of bacon. I do this on a foil lined baking sheet until crispy. Dice 1/2 of a red onion (less if its strong). Mix broccoli with the bacon (crumbled) and onion. Add 1 to 2 cups of cheese and top with this dressing.

1 cup of MAYO (do not sub with real mayo!!)
1 cup of sugar
some bacon drippings (omit for fat if you want, more compliments if you add)

Kids will like that one as well.

I think chicken salad is a great party food. I just cook the chicken in some water and root veggies and add some peppercorns and salt.

For the salad, I use 1 c mayo to 1 cup sour cream. Add some halved grapes and wala. You can add as you need to serve your guests. I love serving with fresh crescants. (My mom subs the grapes for mandarin oranges)

You could also make an Italian sub under the broiler. Just use the turkey, ham, salami and pepporoni top with provolone and Italian dressing. Wrap in foil and put in the oven at 425 or so (some will do in the broiler, but I always burn bread!)

~ Whole grain breads: multigrain bread, ezekiel bread, rye bread, whole wheat pitas, whole grain tortillas or bagels, etc.
~ Whole grain pasta or brown rice pasta, brown/wild rice, quinoa, buckwheat, etc.
~ Sweet potatoes or potatoes
~ Hummus
~ Oatmeal - great source of fiber, you can add toppings like: almond butter or peanut butter, nuts, fresh berries/fruit, raisins, dried fruit like cherries/cranberries/blueberries, cinnamon, skim milk or non-dairy milk, nonfat greek yogurt, jam, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc.
~ Healthy cereals (Kashi, Nature's Path Organic, etc..high in fiber like raisin bran)
~ Nuts, seeds, almond butter, peanut butter
~ Non-dairy milks like soy, almond or rice milk
~ Ground flax seed to add into a smoothie, top yogurt, etc.
~ Olive oil, good healthy fat, great for stir frys with lots of veggies.
~ Salmon & Tuna
~ Tofu & Tempeh - are great in sandwiches, wraps, on salads, etc.
~ Whole grain crackers
~ Whole grain waffles or pancakes
~ Dark chocolate, in small amounts, great for a treat


A few other helpful tips :)

- Drink green tea. Water + lemon (cleansing, great for your digestive system, skin)

- Avoid: soda, diet soda or any diet drinks, artificial colors or sweeteners, white flour, too much sugar, overly processed foods

- For exercise, you can also try things like simple walking or yoga/pilates - very healthy for you :)

What are some really healthy meal recipes/ideas?

I like to exercise and cook, but I need some more ideas what I can make through my day: breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe ideas.

Answer
wraps are easy and healthy. you can make them for any meal and put whatever you want inside.
there is also grilled chicken with any kind of salad
tuna salad (sandwich or crackers) only use a tiny bit of mayo and squeeze the juice from one lime in it.
any lean meat on the grill is healthy (if it's too cold, broil it), serve with steamed veggies.
chili or vegetable soup (not high up on the healthy list, but not too bad)
fresh fruit, boiled eggs and cheese are good
you could also keep some fresh veggies already cut and cleaned in the fridge to have as snacks with ranch or any other dip

how to make a healthy sandwich wrap?

healthy sandwich recipes calories image

banapples3

im on a diet. my goal is to lose weight, but i also don't mind staying the same weight.
the other day i had two yummy sandwich wraps, but from the grocery store. it had the white cheese, i think a little bit of mayo, lettuce, and meat (ham)
is that healthy, or too fattening?


i figured the mayo and cheese would make it unhealthy, so is there anyone who knows how to make a healthy sandwich wrap?

Answer
I'm at work right now, so I don't have the recipe on hand, but if you go check out this month's Better Homes and Gardens they have an awesome recipe for a BLT like wrap.. it only has like 275 calories in the entire thing and its GREAT!

What are some easy lunch recipe for school?

pl333

I need something that is easy to make, tasty, healthy! I never have enough time in the morning to do anything! So something I could make the night before would be a lot better! There are no microwaves at school but I don't mind eating hot foods at room temp.. :)

Answer
- Egg Salad!- Hard boil the eggs, dice them, and mix them with mayo and seasonings. Put the salad in a container separate from the bread. When you get to lunch, just put it on the bread with a spoon. Have with a fruit, a cup of milk, and a little treat- that way you get a healthy balanced meal.
You can also do this with chicken salad, or tuna salad.

- Grilled Chicken strips and a soft pretzel with honey mustard dip. Have with a fruit and a cup of milk or fruit and a yogurt.

- Grilled chicken sandwich- Bring a packet or little cup of mayo, a container of grilled chicken breast with lettuce and tomato, and a separate bread roll. Spread the mayo on and put the chicken/lettuce/tomato on the bread. Have that with a side salad, or a fruit, or yogurt. You could also have it with cheese and crackers!

- Tacos! Make taco filling- I like some ground beef mixed into refried beans with salsa- pack it in one container. In another container pack some shredded lettuce and cheese. In a third little container have some sour cream. And then pack some taco shells of your choice. Put the tacos together when you get to school.

- Pasta Salad

- Chicken caesar salad wrap

- Tuna Salad Wrap

- Buffalo Chicken Wrap

- Yogurt parfaits with cereal and nuts. Fruit juice. And a snack.

What are some good good and healthy vegitarian meals?

healthy veg sandwich recipes image

Samantha

im a vegitarian and its hard to eat dinner everynight when my parents cook meat and the dinner microwave meals have to much sodium. i love tofu and most vegtibles. i want a meal easy to cook and healthy

Answer
If you want to learn to cook, that is great. It's a very important step for veg people. All of those frozen and prepackaged meals are inexcusably overpriced. Foods containing only plant products should be CHEAPER and NOT pricier.

If you haven't already, please visit this site
http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/vsk/food_groups.html

----------------------------------------------------

These are some of my favorite things to eat:

Breakfast: bananas, cream of wheat with brown sugar and soy butter, cereal, pancakes or french toast with real maple syrup, vegan "sausage" patties, smoothies.

Lunch: VEGAN "SAUSAGE" SANDWICHES, sandwiches with vegan deli slices(Tofurkey is the only one that's kinda funky), fruit, dinner leftovers, couscous salad, vegan sushi, potato or pasta salad.

Dinner: sloppy joes, "sausage" and gravy with homemade biscuits, Spaghetti and Trader Joe's "meatballs" or TVP, lasagna, Thai pad see ew, pad khi mao(drunkard's noodles), tofu+eggplant with basil sauce, yellow thai curry with tofu or vegan chikn and veggies and jasmine rice, Indian dal with homemade roti or dosai, channa masala, aloo gobi, vegetable or minestrone soup, pizza, STEAMED "PORK" BUNS with potstickers or spring rolls

What are some EASY HEALTHY VEGETARIAN things I can make with the stuff lying around my house?

La Fille D

I have lots of fresh veggies, veg. mayo & cream cheese, bread, tofu, rice, vegetable broth etc. all the basics, so nothing too too fancy. I am trying to cut back on sodium and I'm trying to lose weight so nothing too salty and too fattening. I just need simple easy recipes that are healthy and low sodium. Any ideas?

Answer
You might not have this laying around your house, but I like to make a sandwich with baby spinach leaves, swiss cheese, tomato, avocado, and mayo and honey mustard. Or I'll grate some cheese into a tortilla, fold it in half, and make a mini quesadilla. You could always steam some rice and vegetables.

What are some easy-to-prepare healthy lunches to take to school?

Leah

I've recently been bringing crackers with a can of tuna and cucumbers to school because i've been eating sandwiches for the past 11 years and i am very very sick of it.

I have access to the year 12 kitchen which has microwaves/toasters/sandwich presses/hot water. I'm looking for a healthy, easy-to-prepare lunch recipe

Answer
Mozzarella and Tomato - This simple sandwich is a cinch to make and pack. Prepare it the night before and give the flavors a chance to mingle.

Tuna Salad - Our tuna salad recipe is sure to be your child's new favorite sandwich stuffing.

Chicken and Fruit Salad - With chunk white-meat chicken and sweet fruit, this sandwich filler will be a lunchtime favorite.

Ham and Cheese Pitas - Update the classic sandwich by swapping out bread for crisp pita.

Turkey-Melon Wraps - You'll love the sweet cantaloupe that transforms a typical turkey sandwich.

Garden Turkey Sandwich with Lemon Mayo - Liven up a traditional turkey sandwich and create a lunch you'll love.

Can you give me your healthy snack ideas?

healthy sandwich roll recipe image

Q. I am looking for healthy snack ideas for kids age 3-8 years old. Do you have some you could list for me?

Answer
there are a few I remember from when I was young...
peanut butter and crackers

celery and peanut butter

hard boiled eggs (sometimes deviled eggs - Mom used to make penguins out of them somehow using olives)

graham crackers and frosting (my favorite was cream
cheese - yummm)

rolled up sandwich meat

or even better

ham with cream cheese spread on it, then rolled and cut into pinwheels

pimento cheese and crackers

WE loved Jello

I just found a recipe for apple volcanos too...They might enjoy that.

Apple Volcanoes
from Chef Jennifer Mraz, The Art Institute of Phoenix

(serves two)

- 2 apples

- 2 large marshmallows

- cup peanut butter

- cup chocolate chips

- cup chopped nuts

- 2 tbsp shredded coconut

Wash apples. Remove stem and core out apple with spoon, enlarging the hole slightly. Press marshmallows in center of cored apple to fill the bottom. Spoon peanut butter into apple to fill to the top. Spread peanut butter over top of apple. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and coconut.

What are some healthy dishes you can make in under 10 minutes?

polka dot

lets just say i eat WAY too much fast food. (but i'm not fat cuz i have a fast metabolism!) so i need some healthy fast food to make in 5-15 minutes. i'd prefer if they were'nt vegetables (i don't like them) but if they are, that's ok... but i REALLY don't like vegetables! lol thanks!

Answer
You can actually make sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them if you like cold sandwiches. They don't have to be unhealthy either. You can use a healthy type of margarine like smart balance light instead of a real cream butter to cut major calories. Mayonnaise actually doesn't freeze well, which is why this says to use butter. High cream contents also do not freeze well. You could always put mayo on it after it defrosted.

1 pack of sub sandwich rolls
1 package cold cut meat (or you can do multi-meat sandwiches)
1 pack cheese slices
Low fat margarine or butter

Spread a thin layer of the butter on both inside sides of the sub rolls. Place meat and cheese inside. Wrap each sandwich in cling wrap and then place them in individual freezer zip-locks or one big one. Take a sandwich out of the freezer 4-5 hours before you will eat it or the night before and place it in a cooler or fridge. It should be defrosted by the time you want to eat it. If you work or go to school full time, you can take it before work/school and it would be ready to eat by lunch. If you want to have lettuce and tomato on it, put those in a ziplock separately in the cooler when you take the sandwich out in the morning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you like tuna, chicken or have hard boiled eggs on hand you can make creamed tuna or chicken or eggs goldenrod.

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
4-6 slices of toast
1 can tuna or chicken breast or 2 hard boiled eggs
Salt and pepper to taste.

1. Put the butter in a small or medium pot or skillet over medium heat.
2. When the butter it melted, add the flour and stir it to make a roux that looks like a light yellow paste. Turn the heat to medium high
3. Add the milk immediately all at once. Whisk continuously until it is thick and bubbles break the surface. Remove from the heat.
4. Using a fork, flake the tuna or chicken into the sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. If making eggs goldenrod, dice the eggs and put them into the sauce.
5. Cut the toast into little squares. Pour the sauce over the squares and enjoy. I make this all the time, it's super fast, cheap and easy. Canned tuna and chicken breast are high in protein and low in fat. This recipe makes 2 good sized portions or one huge one. The only disadvantage is that I don't believe it keeps in the fridge so you will have to eat it immediately. You could always half the recipe and put the rest of the can of chicken or tuna in a little tupperware in the fridge and use it later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quesadillas

2 tortillas
Cheese (any kind, cheddar or mexican blend works best)
Any other fillings you would like - canned chicken breast, jalapeño slices, fresh diced tomato pieces, black beans

Skillet: You can spray a non-stick skillet with non-stick spray, but it isn't necessary. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla on it. Sprinkle the cheese and other ingredients on it. Place the second tortilla on top. When the cheese just starts melting, flip it over. You can also flip it if the tortilla on that side is browning too fast. Eat it whole or slice it into wedges.

Microwave: Assemble the tortilla and place it on a microwave safe plate. Microwave it for about 30-45 seconds. Then eat and enjoy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black Bean Tacos

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
several tortillas
Any toppings desired - shredded cheese, salsa, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole

1. Cook the black beans in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until hot.
2. Heat the tortillas for 15-30 seconds until hot.
3. Put the black beans in tortillas like a taco. Top with toppings. Enjoy. For any leftover black beans, put them in a tupperware in the fridge and use them in more tacos or quesadillas later.

can someone give me a healthy recipe that is made with artichoke hearts?

im looking for a good healthy recipe that I can use artichokes with. I love them but can't eat them by themselves. Thank you!

Answer
Recipes for Health
Panini With Artichoke Hearts, Spinach and Red Peppers.Here’s a great way to pack a lot of nutrients into a sandwich. If you use frozen artichoke hearts, the panini are quickly assembled.

6 ounces (1 bag) baby spinach
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces frozen or fresh cooked artichoke hearts, sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt, preferably kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper
1 large or 2 smaller roasted sweet red peppers, sliced
1/4 pound fontina or Gruyère, thinly sliced or grated
8 slices whole grain country bread

1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the spinach to the boiling water and blanch for 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to the ice water to cool for a few minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the artichoke hearts. Stir for a few minutes, until the artichoke hearts are beginning to color, and add the thyme leaves and the spinach. Toss together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.

3. Preheat a panini grill. Top four of the bread slices with the artichoke hearts and spinach. Add strips of roasted pepper, then cheese. Top with the remaining bread and press together. Brush the outside of the bread (top and bottom slices) with olive oil. Place in the panini maker and grill for four to five minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasty. Slice in half and serve hot.

Yield: Serves four
Advance preparation: You can prepare the artichoke filling through step 2 several hours or even a day ahead of assembling the panini.

Recipes for Health
Artichoke Heart Frittata.You can make this easy Italian frittata with the fresh, tiny artichokes that arrive with spring or, more quickly, with frozen artichoke hearts.
1 pound baby artichokes, trimmed, or one 12-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts
8 eggs
2 tablespoons low-fat milk
Salt, preferably kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons minced Italian parsley, dill, fennel fronds or wild fennel
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino

1. If using fresh artichokes, steam until tender or boil gently in a pot of generously salted water, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, refresh with cold water and quarter the artichokes. Thaw frozen artichokes as directed, and drain off any liquid in the bowl.

2. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk, about 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

3. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch, heavy nonstick skillet, and add the artichokes. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about five to eight minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Stir in the herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with a spatula in your other hand, so that the eggs run underneath during the few minutes of cooking.

4. Turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don’t have a lid that will fit your skillet) and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden spatula, tilting the pan so that the bottom doesn’t burn. Instead it should turn a deep golden brown. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.

5. Finish the omelet under the broiler for one to two minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn’t burn. (It should brown slightly, and it will puff under the broiler.) Remove from the heat and immediately sprinkle on the Parmesan or pecorino. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

Yield: Serves four to six
Advance preparation: You can prepare the artichokes a day ahead. The frittata is good served at room temperature, so you can make it hours before serving. It also will keep well in the refrigerator overnight.

Filling, quick breakfast recipes besides the same old thing?

salihe66

I'm a college student (well, on summer break, but still). My mornings are usually pretty busy, and I generally don't have time to make a big breakfast (ie: eggs, bacon, pancakes). Besides, I get tired of eating the same breakfast foods every morning. Don't get me wrong...I love eggs and bacon. It's just a pain to make all that on a school morning, and I usually tend to get hungry not long after. So, I usually end up running through McDonalds drive-thru. I'm unbelievably sick of that, as well.

So, what I'm wondering is if anyone has any relatively healthy, quick and filling recipes for breakfast besides the same-ole-same-ole. No oatmeal or scrambled-egg sandwiches, please. Gimme some p'zaz to start the day off (and make it snappy, plz, mmmk, thks) *grin*

Answer
Since you want something quick different from the norm, I'm assuming you don't feel like making something the night before.

As far as something filling, you need specialized protiens. THe stuff most people think of as a normal breakfast is mostly starches. They are mostly sugar and tend to burn up quickly, which means you burn out. Honestly, when I was having this problem, I just bought some of the Slim Fast Optima shakes, and one would at least hold me until lunch.

If you want an easy recipe, here's the best I can offer, though it is a bit plain.

Wheat Bread, Lettuce, Tomato, sausage, and cheese.

Just toast the bread (You can spread mayo if you want.)
One leaf of lettuce, one tomato slice.
Use ground sausage, (usually comes in a tube of some sort)
Sqeeze out the desired amount of sausage and press into a thin patty. (The thinner it is the quicker it cooks.)
Cook the patty, lay a slice of your favorite cheese on top of the sausage to melt a little.
Place on bread.

It's a great sandwich and you can change out the meat as you'd like.

You could use ham slices, or make tuna salad with apple chunks instead of relish.
You could also trade up the bread for a bagel once in a while. I've tried the sausage and cheese on a blueberry bagel once, and it was surprisingly good.

It's kind of basic, but if you keep sliced tomatoes in a container and already have a head of lettuce, there is almost no work involved in making it. Plus it's surprisingly filling with a glass of milk or orange juice.

It should stick with you for a little longer than a bowl of cereal or some other sugar based item.

Easy low fat recipes for picky kids?

Q. Maybe even vegetarian type meals? I have a few picky eaters and on some weekends we have all the kids so there are 7 plus my husband and myself so it would need to be relatively easy and of course healthy, low fat and nutritious. I have one kiddo who hates almost everything except pasta, sandwiches and cereal(of course, it could be also that he just prefers his moms cooking which I can respect). I feel guily trying to make my kids eat foods they don't like but for the sake of their health they need to eat veggies, beans, whole grains, proteins, etc.

So anyone with good recipes for picky eaters would be appreciated.

And please don't just say 'make them eat what you serve'. I've tried that and it seems cruel to watch them sit there so long and then leave the table hungry because after awhile I tell them to just go if they refuse to eat their veggies or whatever. I also have tried withholding any snacks or desserts if they won't eat their dinner - doesn't work either.

Thanks!

Answer
CRUNCHY FRIED FISH

Here's a low fat version of fried fish. Simply coat chunks of white fish fillets in breadcrumbs and bake in a hot oven. Serve with tarter sauce and russet fries baked alongside. Kids LOVE this!!

1 1/4 pounds firm white fish, such as cod or halibut
1 egg lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 tsp paprika
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a large cookie sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray in the oven.
Meanwhile cut fish into chunks. Put beaten egg into a small bowl, and combine breadcrumbs, herbs, paprika and pepper in a large shallow bowl.

Remove cookie sheet from oven. Dip the fish first into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture and on to the cookie sheet. Repeat with each piece of fish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until fish is cooked through.

LOW FAT FISH TACOS

Halibut and cod work especially well with these low fat fish tacos. Bake, broil or grill the fish after briefly marinating it, and serve with your choice of low fat or fat free garnishes on top of warm corn tortillas.

2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro
1 pound firm white fish fillets such as halibut or cod
8 corn tortillas

In a small bowl, combine lime juice, cumin, olive oil and cilantro. Place fish in a glass baking dish or in a resealable plastic bag. Add marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Coat a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place marinated fish on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, broil or grill fish, allowing 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Warm corn tortillas according to instructions on package. When fish is cooked, cut into strips or chunks and divide among corn tortillas. Add shredded cabbage, low fat or fat free sour cream and salsa for garnish.

Serves 4.


LOW FAT CHICKEN ENCHILLADAS

This a is a great way to use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. These creamy enchiladas are quick and easy to make. It's comfort food with a fraction of the fat.

4 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (skinless, white meat)
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 cup sweet corn
1 cup medium or hot salsa
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
1/2 cup reduced fat shredded Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Warm tortillas according to instructions on package.
Mix salsa, yogurt and sour cream and spoon half the salsa mixture into the chicken, beans and corn. Blend well.
Divide chicken mixture among the tortillas. Carefully roll tortillas and place them seam down in the baking dish. Spoon remaining salsa mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Serves 4.


BEEF AND PENNE CASSEROLE

This is comfort food at its best (and a family favorite), combining extra lean ground beef, tomatoes, penne pasta and a sprinkling of reduced fat cheese. Sometimes I wilt half a 10-ounce pack of fresh baby spinach (squeezed dry) and stir it into the beef and tomato mixture.

1/2 pound penne pasta
1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce, no salt added
1 tsp oregano
1 pound lean or extra-lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Boil pasta according to instructions on package. Do not overcook. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray, saute onions and ground beef on a medium to high heat until the beef is browned. Add crushed tomatoes, sauce and oregano, and stir well. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Empty pasta into a 2 quart baking dish; add beef and tomato mixture and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with cheese blend and bake for 25 minutes.

Serves 4-6

You can also do a lot of wonderful things with POLENTA, which is very healthy, pre-cooked and you can buy it in the supermarket in a roll you just have to slice. It's a great substitute for pasta. Try covering it with fresh tomato sauce and a little reduced fat cheese as a side dish to broiled chicken or veal, etc.

Hope this helps!

What are some healthy, portable lunch ideas?

healthy cold sandwich recipes image

katie b

Starting in the fall, I will be in class from 9am to 4pm straight on a few days. I need ideas/recipes for lunches/snacks that I can make the night before and eat in class. A very important part of this is that these foods cannot be noisy or hard to eat so as to not disturb the rest of my class. Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer
-Soups
-Salads with carrots, cucumbers, onions, tomatos, olives, add chicken for protein!
-Sandwiches, like cold cuts, with lettuce, tomatoes, on rolls
-Wraps, use cold cuts like ham or even grilled chicken and lettuce, tomatos, on tortillas, and cut in half.
-cheese with fruits cut up and crackers
-fruit salad and sprinkle with lemon juice so it doesn't turn brown by the time you eat it. You won't taste the lemon!
-chicken fingers
-Any leftovers from the night before's dinner made into a sandwich. If you had a flank steak, add some argula and you have a great sandwich, have fried chicken, bring that, chicken cutlets, put that on bread with lettuce and tomatos and you have a great sandwich! You can always bring leftovers! If you made beef stew, keep it in a thermos like the soup and bring that, it's hearty and it's comfort food!
-pizza, you can bring a few slices with you.
-Egg salad in bowl or on a sandwich
-Tuna on a sandwich or tuna salad on sandwich or in a bowl
-Hard boiled eggs in a salad
-You can always bring like an antipasto, which is the cold cuts, some cheeses, lettuce, tomato, bread, etc, in a tupperware container with a fork, and just eat it as you please. Add some olives in it. It's VERY filling!
-Pasta salad


I hope some of these ideas help!

Answer
Watch for excessively processed(lunch meats, mayonaise, margarine, some salad dressings) salt added, high fat foods.Restrict carbonated soft drinks, sodas, candy, cookies, and fast food.Learn to read product labels. Follow portion control, low sugar, low fat-lots of fruit and vegetables, lean cuts of fish and meat. Artifical sweetners should be avoided.

Breakfast: fruit, low fat yogurt, whole grain cereal with 1 or 2 % low fat milk, 100% juice(no sugar added), oatmeal with fruit and no more than 2 teaspoons of raw sugar, occassionally a poached or soft boiled egg with whole grain bread with 1 tbspn real butter, or with peanut butter and honey

Lunch/ dinner: fresh fruit, steamed vegetables, 4 oz broiled boneless skinless chicken breast, fish filets, tuna, lean beef or turkey breast. Pasta with tomato based sauces. Homemade soups.

Snacks and treats: fresh fruit and vegetables, all natural fruit snacks and fruit roll ups, string cheese, low fat,and salt crackers, peanut butter, whole fruit spreads, sandwiches of whole grain bread, vanilla wafers, molasses, or ginger bread cookies(any low fat, low sugar varieties).

Drinks:water, 100% fruit juices, 1 or 2% low fat milk, herbal teas(hot or iced) lightly sweetened.

This doesn't mean an occassional piece of candy, chocolate chip cookie, pizza or hamburger can't be had, these just shouldn't be first and constant fare.

As for recipes follow the above guidelines. Suggestions: Grill meats and steam vegetables then season with herbs and spices. Use as natural ingredients as you can get: raw sugar, nothing with high fructose sugar or syrup, sea salt(has trace minerals and natural iodine), watch for added salt, too.

Hope this helps. Good luck and God Bless.

What are some healthy, tasty meals for the school year?

healthy protein sandwich recipes image

Can anyone give me tasty but healthy recipes for the school year?
I don't like to eat breakfast, so if you can give me some very quick, easy to make, healthy and not too filling breakfasts, that'd be great.

And lunch I need to be able to make in about 15 minutes, be eaten in about 35ish minutes, healthy, and can fit into a lunch box.

Thanks!

Answer
Breakfast: Yogurt is always good. You got some calcium, some protein, and some vitamins, assuming you get some fruit flavored yogurt. If you want a little extra crunch, you can sprinkle some of your favorite cereal on top. Fresh fruit is also a wonderful way to start your day.

Lunch: Sandwiches are your bread and butter, literally! Mix it up. Turkey and tuna are both great for you, and if you put some healthy green lettuce (none of that iceberg stuff) and a tomato you will round things out. Go easy on the mayo, if you even want any. On other days you can mix it up with peanut butter and your favorite jelly. For some healthy, quick side snacks, I'd recommend a combination of string cheese, carrot sticks, and grapes. These don't take any prep time, and all have their own benefits. To drink, well, I think that's up to you. Bottled water is the simplest.

I want some healthy and easy recipes that I can make for lunch. With cheap ingredients and that I can eat on a regular basis. Also maybe some healthy snack ideas?(preferably cheap) thanks!

Answer
I like to make chicken salad for lunches. It’s healthy, fast, and full of protein to keep you full for a long time. Just boil 4 skinless/boneless chicken breasts (around $7), then dice into small squares. Mix in a big bowl with 1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup mustard, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 diced onion, 5 diced stalks of celery, salt & pepper (around $5). So, for a total of only 12 bucks, you have lunch for every day of the week.

I pre-portion the Chicken Salad into ziplock sandwich baggies and keep in the fridge, so they are ready to go for each day. Just use a small insulated lunch bag with a freezer pack, to keep the food fresh until lunch time. For a snack, I bring along a bag of baby carrots and ranch dressing. I work in an office, and this is a great lunch for Mon-Fri. Saves me bundles of money and is much healthier than eating fast food every day. If you want, you can take bread to put the salad on, but since I eat low-carb foods, I skip the bread.

Recipies recommended for someone who doesn't like to eat veggies?

amazing healthy sandwich recipes image

24th Princ

I know I should eat my veggies, but they taste so bitter. If there is a recipe that will cut down on the bitterness from them, that would help me out a lot.

Answer
Cabbage
1 package of bacon(chipped/fried)
3 large chopped vadalia onions
1 head of cabbage(chipped)

Fry bacon an onions together until bacon browns.
Poor in 5/6 cups of water.
Bring the bacon, onions and water together to a boil.
Add cabbage.
Boil for ten minutes
(If you are going TOTAL vegetarian, still include the bacon, but don't eat it. The flavoring from the bacon is what makes the cabbage REALLY amazing.)

Squash and Onions
3lbs. fresh squash (sliced)
3 or 4 large onions (any kind)

Spray frying pan to keep from sticking.
Sautee squash and onions until mushy. (about 30 minutes)
Add salt and pepper. (I like light salt and pepper.)

These are my faves. My mother concocted these through experimentation(they are straight from her head).

Baked sweet potatoes are really great and really healthy. Use nonfat butter substitute(I like the squirtable kind) with substitute sweetener and cinnamon.
Don't give up too quickly, I've found sweet potatoes to be very bitter myself, just keep adding stuff until you get the right taste. They DO get better the more stuff you add. Trust me.

My dad also enjoys cinnamon and sugar on mushy carrots.

A good thing to keep in mind is that vegetables make everything taste better. If you get a sandwich with meat on it, just pile on some green peppers, onions, and tomatoes(I love tomatoes). If you are planning on going total vegetarian, I am a BIG fan of tomato sandwiches.

Tomato Sandwich
Put mayonaise on two slices of bread and but two thick slices of tomato on the bread and put salt and pepper on the tomato.

There are some really great store brand vegetable packs that are REALLY easy to make. Experiment with different fried ocra that is already breaded. Also try different packages of cream and whole kernel corn.

What are some new, quick, and healthy dinner recipes?

Q. I love trying new recipes, but I'm all out of ideas :(

Answer
Lately I've been into shrimp salad sandwiches. It's easy, just buy a bag of frozen, cooked shrimp. Take out a handfull for each person, let them sit in a bowl of warm water until there are defrosted (5 min) then cut them up and mix with lowfat mayo. On a roll with lettuce- amazing!

A whole roast chicken is always great. It's not quick but all you have to do is pull the guts out, sprinkle with garlic powder, and roast at 425 for an hour an hour and a half. My mom does 350 for 2 hours but I'm impatient.

Shake & Bake pork chops only take 20 minutes and while they are cooking, put in a seperate cookie sheet with cut up veggies tossed in olive oil & garlic seasonings. They are so good, I use zucchini & carrots!

Pasta- instead of the standard tomato sauce, mix with olive oil, minced garlic, parm cheese, and some veggies. I always add black olives!

Steak tips only take 5 minutes if you buy them small enough. I cook them in a frying pan with butter but you can use cooking spray to be healthier.

What is the best dessert recipe for kids?

healthy sandwich recipes for parties image

The Grimme

i want to make something fast for my kid's 9yr birthday party

Answer
Ice cream cake:
In a flat glass dish:
Lay out ice cream sandwiches so that they cover the bottom of dish.
Top with Cool Whip.
Do another layer of ice cream sandwiches
Top with Cool Whip.
Garnish as desired. Place in freezer until ready to use.

Or buy a cake and make mini ice cream cups in clear small cups (bathroom cups will work) topped by Cool Whip. Place in airtight container; freeze until ready to use. Garnish as desired just before serving.

Suggested garnish (any or all):
chocolate syrup (or any of variety available;
strawberry, butterscotch; etc)
cherries and a small swizzle stick straw
chocolate chips, mini
multitude of mini candies
candle on birthday child's ice cream

Garnish will work on cake or cups. Could even put a small piece of pound cake in bottom of larger ice cream cup holder (some of those 8 or 9 ounce low clear plastic cups) before adding ice cream and topping. Would only need to add spoon. No flat plates.

Pigs in a blanket/corn dogs and/or peanut butter and jelly triangles, chips, drink. Use small plates or shallow bowls.

Not healthy exactly, but run the ideas by some kids. Hot dogs are okay but some kids always lose the meat or drop the bun.

Don't know if you have your menu planned or for how many you are fixing dessert; the above ideas are flexible and need only a small amount of last minute preparation.
Precook or prepare the sandwiches ahead of time; just heat and eat. Can even buy chips in small individual containers for lunches--bulk. Don't have to worry about where the kids hands have been.

Is this a healthy sandwich snack?

Q. i use "whole graine" bread.very little light mayo with mustard.I add lettuce,tomatoes,cucumbers,onion,and turkey 98% fat free.
Also what is a good healthy homemade dip
salad dressing i mean!

Answer
That's pretty healthy and sounds yummy. For homemade salad dressing or dip, you can mix caesar dressing and plain nonfat yogurt together -- about 2 parts dressing to 1 part yogurt. It makes the caesar flavor less intense, and cuts the fat a lot. You can substitute plain nonfat yogurt for part or all of the sour cream in most dressing/dip recipes, too, with good results. When my mom makes onion dip for parties, she uses 1 c low-fat sour cream, 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt, and a packet of Lipton onion soup mix. It's darn good!

What are some simple, yummy, healthy recipes?

best healthy sandwich bread recipe image

dizzy r

I am looking for some easy, healthy, yummy recipes. Short preparation and cook time preferred. Please keep in mind that I'm a college student that works part time and I cannot spend tons of money either. Also, I do not eat chicken or pork. I prefer to eat seafood most of the time as it is lean and healthy. I eat beef very rarely because I prefer it over iron tablets. Thanks! :)

Answer
Stir fry - Put a bunch of vegetables in the wok with a touch of oil, serve over short grain brown rice.

Soup - Boil vegetables, throw in some noodles, drop in a raw egg or some cooked beans, how about a few shrimp.

Tortillas, beans & cheese. Slice in some tomatoe and avocado.

Sandwiches - Get nice crusty bread, good cheeses, fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, tuna fish. Also smoked fish on bagels.

Pilaf - Rice with herbs & seasonings, mix in toasted nuts & seeds, stir in some minced broccoli, carrot or cauliflower, cook using broth for more flavor, add fresh melon on top
