I have a summer sitting job and the childs mom told me that she wants her child eating healthier this summer. what are some quid, easy,and healthy recipes that I can do that involve the child?
For Jacob:
I would like some recipes that would be easy to make, and that I can get her involved in. She is 11 years old, so it doesn't have to be the most simple thing in the world. I just want to keep it healthy and fun for her to help make.
Answer
Salads are usually pretty healthy, she can help you trim and prep whatever fresh veg are in the fridge. This will give you lots of vitamins and fiber. If you find some leftover chicken or steak or ham you can add that. Keep salad dressings light and just a drizzle.
You can also make fresh dips and serve it with baked tortilla chips or pita wedges. Salsa...this is tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Guacamole...fork mash some avocados with chopped tomato, some onion and garlic salt, and lime juice. Hummus...drain and rinse a can of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), whiz them up in the food processor, add some garlic powder, onion powder, a little salt and pepper, and a little olive oil to get them to the right consistency. Bean dip...same as hummus but use black beans instead of chickpeas.
You can make a simple soup. Start with your soup pot on med high heat...add a carton of chicken broth, a jar of pasta sauce and let it come to a boil...taste it...if you need something, try salt and pepper first, and then you can add some italian seasoning, or maybe some bay leaves (you have to remove those). Add a box of rotini or shell or penne or elbow macaroni pasta. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes. Just before the pasta is cooked all the way, add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. If you have some leftover chicken, or a smoked sausage you can also add that. This makes a large pot of soup. Serve it with a sandwich or salad...parents can take for lunch the next day.
You can do a simple pasta salad...instead of adding mayonnaise (the most unhealthy ingredient) use some greek yogurt or fat free sour cream. Shells and rotini work great for this...add some frozen peas and a can of tuna or chicken.

Tropical smoothie: mangoes, bananas, pineapple chunks and a splash of orange juice or soy milk
English muffin pizza: toasted English muffin with pasta sauce, melted mozzarella cheese, and your favorite veggie
Mediterranean pocket sandwich: whole wheat pita bread with hummus, paprika, and cucumber slices
The Veg Out: sliced carrots, red or green peppers, and broccoli with ranch dressing or teriyaki sauce
Perfect parfait: low fat yogurt layered with 1/4 cup whole grain cereal and 1/2 cup blueberries
Mini bean burrito: black beans or kidney beans heated with shredded cheese and sliced or canned tomatoes, topped with a dollop of plain yogurt or low fat sour cream on a small tortilla
