cafe styled recipes?

Q. what is a good food to make that is cafe based?? I need to know for a home ec project...im making milkshakes too but i need to make something that will go with them


Answer
I believe that "Cafe's" originated to appeal to the local masses with light, quick and healthy foods, which would entail freshly made deli sandwiches, lighter soups, vegetable sandwiches, fresh fruit dishes, juices, herbal teas..........items along those lines of menu items. I personally think that Cafe Milkshakes goes perfectly with a grilled Hamburger or Chicken Breast Sandwich, steak fries and some chilled pickle spears........also, along the lines of the "Hot Cafe" Style menu. Simple, yet delicious.............Hope this helps you out today!

Easy healthy recipes?




Waffles


Im looking for some easy healthy recipes. something quick and nothing too special. I mean i eat tuna straight from a can or mix it with fat free yogurt and spread some on bread. I eat cottage cheese on bread (Fat free). Im looking for simple things like that, where i get some good protein while avoiding fat and keeping the carbs rather low. Im not a fan of salads however i do like mixing chopped up vegetables as long as i stay away from the things i dont like.

Ill list some things i do not like:
celery
regular lettuce
raw onion
cabbage

Now some things i do like
cucumber
mushroom
olive
chicken
turkey
fish (all of them)
seafood


Im tring to lose weight and im no chef so i need to come up with ideas so i stop eating the same 3 things every day. Also some healthy deserts would be nice for a snake. i found cinnamon and cottage cheese was actually quite good. something similar that stays very healthy.



Answer
I don't know if you like yogurt, but kefir is a great alternative to yogurt - more healthful punch and great if wanting to lose weight. You may want to check into it. You can get it lowfat and drink like a shake or add nutty granola for breakfast. Kefir will also help your digestion and keep bacteria balanced while you diet.

You can also put some kefir in the blender with your favorite fruits and make a great morning drink.

Cucumbers make a great sandwich! We use them here on sandwiches in the summer when they are in season.

Try stir frying your favorite veggies with a bit of chicken. Very easily done by just adding some coconut oil (healthful fats) to a pan and tossing in your favorite chopped veggies and chicken. To season add a bit of soy sauce and giner. Light, easy and served on a bed of rice it makes a great quick low cal meal with lots of nutrients.

Take care with the fish and tuna. Most are contaminated with mercury, which the body doesn't like to eliminate. There are dietary guidelines based on the mercury content. I believe tuna they say no more than once a week.

The cinnamon is a great add. Put it on whatever you want. It aids digestion and will help with your weight loss goals.
