Monkey

I'm in my twenties and my culinary skills don't go far from a skillet, toaster, microwave, george foreman. My mom runs to Costco for majority of my chicken breasts, ground beef, ground turkey. I need recipes that are easy to make and re heat able mainly b/c i'll be in in an ambulance most my shift! Healthy ones please.

You may preferably leave me links to websites that have easy recipe.

Answer
We are now doing the following for easy and fast cooking - microwave and etc:

1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages such as the following. You can make two or three meals out of them (or you can freeze the meals too):

Beef tips with gravy,
Roast with gravy,
Pork roast,
Chicken,
Baked ham,
Pork chops,
Meatloaf,
etc.

Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.

Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.
.
You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.
.
Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag...add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.
.
Jars of all types of sauces for making pastas. On shelves.
.
Boxes of pastas with everything needed inside the boxes. On shelves.
.
Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.
.
Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches. Go to this video to see how to make a quick grilled cheese sandwich:
http://startcooking.com/video/326/Grilled-Cheese-Sandwich
.
Omelet with Cheese - Video:
http://startcooking.com/video/326/Grilled-Cheese-Sandwich
.
You can buy all types of salad greens in large packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.
.
2. The top brands of microwave frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Follow directions. Look for the words "No Preservatives" marked on the box or package.
Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.

Top brands of dinners that are found on shelves. No fridge needed. Add water, microwave. These are good to take to school or work. Follow directions on the containers.
.
3. Video On How To Cook A Rib Eye Steak on Stove Burner (turn on your sound), click this link:
http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-rib-eye-steak
.
4. Supermarket deli's have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often...they are delicious.
.
5. Buy a crock pot. You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.
There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy crock pots at places such as your grocery store and department stores.

Here are 1,160 crock pot recipes:
http://www.cooks.com/rec/search?q=crock+pot

DON'T FORGET TO PLUG IT IN! This happens more than you would think. lol

6. Salads. All types:
http://southernfood.about.com/od/saladrecipes/Salad_Recipes_Salads_and_Dressings.htm

7. Twenty three Snacks for watching TV movies and Football games:
http://startcooking.com/blog/277/Top-23-Snacks-for-All-Night-Gaming/

8. Microwave baked potatoes (I do all mine this way and they never fail):
Wash potato,
Do not pierce,
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap...make sure the ends are closed,
Cook on high for about 7 to 8 minutes in the microwave,
Squeeze middle of potato to see if it is soft for eating, if not cook on high for another minute (use protection for your fingers when you squeeze the potato, they are hot-hot-hot).
We like to put salt, pepper, butter, sour cream on ours. Yum!
You can do this for baked sweet potatoes too.

Healthy sandwich bread recipe?

Alyssa D

I need a HEALTHY quick bread recipe that i could use for sandwiches. This means i don't need too much flavor since the things i put on it to make the sandwich will add flavor. By healthy i mean no butter (or butter substitute), no sugar (or splenda), and no oil (besides a minimal amount of light tasting extra virgin olive oil). i want it to use baking soda or powder instead of yeast and i only want it to make one loaf. I currently have -
all purpose flour
whole wheat flour
extra virgin olive oil
1% milk
vanilla yogurt
eggs
honey
rolled oats
and many spices

Answer
Why do you think butter, splenda, butter substitutes, yeast, and oil are unhealthy? Do you research or just follow a silly crowd.
If you use the ingredients you want you will get a horrible product.
You might as well put your organic tuna on cardboard and eat it.
My advise to you is to make a nice bread and enjoy life.

Place in baking dish with a little water and bake until soft. (You can add nutmeg also)

Broccoli Slaw
Buy a bag of broccolli slaw (Broccoli Wockly) add in dried
cranberries and a few cashews (no salt or raw work well)
Add in Mazerrati's light or fat free colesalw dressing

Healthy sandwich ideas?

Q. I want to eat healthy, but when school comes its hard. So does anyone have healthy sandwich recipes?

Answer
I love avocado sandwiches! Slice some avocado, tomatoes, and onion put on bread sprinkle with garlic and pepper and that's it! Also eggless egg salad using crumbled tofu, vegan mayo, onions, mustard, relish, pepper, and whatever else you like. I like using tofu on sandwiches I get sprouted tofu which is already drained, etc and it's flavored and slice that up and put on sandwich with vegan mayo, lettuce, onion, tomato, avocado, sprinkle of pepper and garlic and you can add anything you like! Wraps are also great I throw in a bunch of veggies top with dressing and roll up!!

Healthy Vegatarian recipes?

Jane Doe.

Hey, does anyone know any good vegatarian recipes? Relatively easy to make, and something healthy. Anything with proteins and nutrients that vegatarians need. Also, do you know any foods that are good for vegatarians, like beans, eggs, and lentils? By the way, i'm 15, if that gives you a better idea of what i should eat.
Thank you. :)

Answer
I just made an awesome sandwich today which is super healthy AND delicious! It's inspired from a sandwich I ate at a really good Italian restaurant.

Grilled Portabella Mushroom Sandwich:

1 portabella mushroom cap, rinsed well and patted dry
1 jarred roasted red bell pepper
2 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
3 slices plum tomato (or any other ripe, red, juicy tomato)
1 tsp basil pesto
1 multi-grain baguette or roll

Marinate portabella mushroom in some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper for 10-15 minutes. Then grill the portabella mushroom for 5 minutes on each side or until tender. Place in sandwich bread and top with roasted bell peppers and sliced mozzarella. Put in toaster oven open faced until cheese melts. Then add sliced tomato, close, and enjoy! Yummy.

If you don't like mushrooms, you can substitute them for eggplants.

For eggs, I would recommend a veggie omelet. My favorite is a Spinach omelet. I just blanch some (about 1 1/2 cups raw) spinach, drain, and squeeze dry. Then crack two eggs in a bowl and add the spinach. You can also add some feta cheese as well if you like. Then heat up some olive oil in a pan (about 1-2 tbsp, just so the omelet doesn't stick) and add your egg mixture. Cook for about 3 minutes or until you can easily flip the omelet. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute or until omelet is not runny. Serve with toasted whole-grain bread and you have a healthy delicious meal!

You can also make an easy vegetable sandwich with hummus. Just get some whole-grain pita bread, spread your favorite hummus inside, add some crumbled feta cheese, some sliced olives, cucumber, and tomato, and some romaine lettuce and you're done. This sandwich is the best to make when your in a hurry and don't have time to cook up a lunch.

For beans, you can buy a can of black beans and make a tex-mex (Mexican-inspired) salad. Just mix a 1/2 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans with chopped romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, cooked corn kernels, and drizzle with lime-cilantro salad dressing (look for it in your grocery store or use this recipe: http://www.recipesource.com/side-dishes/dressings/00/rec0099.html). Toss to combine. Add some corn tortilla chips to it if you don't mind the extra fat and calories. =)

Hope this helped!

Easy healthy recipes?

Q. 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.

Healthy wrap recipes?

Crystal Ra

Does anyone have any good healthy recipes for making wraps? They are easy to make and I love wraps! Thanks :)

Answer
Mediterranean Wrap.This wrap is stuffed with chicken tenders and couscous with a hit of lemon and a healthy dose of fresh herbs. Save any leftovers to wrap up for an easy lunch. Serve with: Mixed green salad and a glass of crisp white wine.
Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1/3 cup couscous, preferably whole-wheat
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound chicken tenders
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup chopped cucumber
4 10-inch spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps or tortillas
Preparation

Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Set aside.
Meanwhile, combine parsley, mint, lemon juice, oil, garlic, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Toss chicken tenders in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the parsley mixture and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place the tenders in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked though, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Cut into bite-size pieces when cool enough to handle.
Stir the remaining parsley mixture into the couscous along with tomato and cucumber.
To assemble wraps, spread about 3/4 cup of the couscous mixture onto each wrap. Divide the chicken among the wraps. Roll the wraps up like a burrito, tucking in the sides to hold the ingredients in. Serve cut in half.

Southwestern Omelet Wrap.Folding a flat omelet in a whole-wheat wrapper makes a high-protein breakfast (or lunch) that is totable and fun. If you want to start the day with a hot egg breakfast, but don't want to fuss with cooking in the morning, you can make this wrap the night before. In the morning, just microwave and go.
Ingredients

1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or parsley (optional)
2 tablespoons prepared black bean dip
1 9-inch whole-wheat wrap, (see Ingredient note)
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 tablespoons grated pepper Jack or Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon prepared green or red salsa, (optional)

Preparation

Set oven rack 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler. Stir eggs, hot sauce and pepper briskly with a fork in a medium bowl. Stir in scallions and cilantro (or parsley), if using.
If black bean dip is cold, warm it in the microwave on High for 10 to 20 seconds. Place wrap between paper towels and warm in the microwave on High for about 10 seconds. Spread bean dip over the wrap, leaving a 1-inch border all around.
Brush oil over a 10-inch nonstick skillet; heat over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, lifting the edges with a heat-resistant rubber spatula so uncooked egg will flow underneath, until the bottom is light golden, 20 to 30 seconds. Place the skillet under the broiler and broil just until the top is set, 20 to 30 seconds. Immediately slide the omelet onto the wrap. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold the edges over the omelet on two sides, then roll the wrap up and around the omelet. Serve immediately, with salsa, if desired.

Tips & Notes

Make Ahead Tip: Wrap in plastic and refrigerate, overnight. To reheat, remove plastic wrap and rewrap in paper towel. Microwave at High for 1 to 2 minutes.

Ingredient Note: You can find wraps designed for wrap sandwiches in the deli section of large supermarkets. Cedar Foods (www.cedarfoods.com) makes a good whole-wheat one.

Fold the bottom edge (edge closest to you) of the tortilla toward the center & gently roll until the tortilla is completely wrapped around the filling. Repeat for the remaining 3 tortillas. Slice each wrap in half.

Serve immediately or cover & refrigerate up to four hours before serving.

2 medium avocados OR 2 cups prepared guacamole
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 Tablespoon minced onion
1 Tablespoon chipotle chili puree*
2 Tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
4 Alaska fillets (Pollock, 4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen

What foods/recipes are good for pregnant woman?

jenny

This is my 2nd pregnancy. Last time around I had a rough time at the end of the pregnancy. So I am trying to eat healthier. I am so used to eating mcdonalds though( I work there, so its free) that I can't really remember how to cook and prepare meals. I don't want this kid to be unhealthy so I would like him to get as much healthy food as I can get.
I don't care much for onions & mushrooms.
Anything is appreciated(:

Answer
There is no special diet and recipes for a pregnancy. You should eat a healthy diet that gives all the nutrients to help your baby develop and grow.

Remember that the food you eat is the main source of energy for your baby growing inside. A pregnant women should know that she is not only responsible for herself, but also for the unborn child inside her. The child's physical and mental development after birth will have a influence of anything seen, thoughts and the food eaten by the pregnant woman.

1.There is no special diet for a pregnant women, but eating a healthy balanced diet that gives all the nutrients for your baby to develop and grow is recommended.

2.For the first 3 months, the diet of a pregnant woman should include food rich in iron, folic acid and foods high in calcium. You may take iron and folic acid tablets if you are pregnant or lactating.

3.Folic Acid & Birth Defects
Women should get enough folic acid from their diet before and during the pregnancy to prevent major birth defects involving baby's brain or spine, according to Canadian researcher Louise Pilote of McGill University, Montreal as reported in the British Medical Journal, May 2009.
A cup of Brussels sprouts supplies 93.6 mg of folic acid. Brussels sprouts recipe

4.Fortifying flour products with folic acid may cut the number of babies born with congenital heart disease, the most common of all birth defects.

5.In the next 3 month (i.e.3 to 6 month pregnancy), the woman needs extra protein and calcium. Look for foods with high protein.

6.Pregnancy & Weight Gain
Most women gain between 10-15 kgs, but too much weight gain should be avoided. However, the weight gain during pregnancy will vary according to your pre-pregnancy weight. According to the experts, an overweight woman is advised to gain only 7 kg (15 pounds) and an underweight woman to gain up to 18 kg (40 pounds).
7.Do Not Eat For Two
Many pregnant women wrongly think that they should eat for two. Note that you need only 200-300 extra calories daily in pregnancy, i.e. a cup of reduced fat milk or yogurt and a medium orange. This is because your body actually absorbs more nutrients from food you eat during pregnancy.
Researcher Alison Stuebeworking at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found that pregnant women should avoid eating for two since too much weight gain is linked with complications at birth. Pregnant women who eat fried foods and dairy products and food for two are more likely to gain as much as 35 pounds. Women with vegetarian diets and eating more monounsaturated fat found in olive oil and nuts in early pregnancy are half as likely to gain an unhealthy amount of weight.

If you MUST eat at McDonald's, make healthier choices. Salads, fruits, and sandwich wraps, as opposed to a big Mac and fries is in your best interest.

What's an example of a healthy daily diet for a pregnant woman?

Red

I'm looking for a guideline or example of the perfect day's diet.

Answer
More and more expectant mothers are realizing that getting essential nutrients can be a challenge. Here is a great pregnancy diet plan and tips to make it easier.

Pregnancy can be an especially challenging time for many busy mothers today to get what they need. Working expectant mothers can find it difficult to eat essential nutrients while "on the go." Some might be tempted to stop for fast food rather than cooking an elaborate meal.

Here is a helpful pregnancy diet plan to be sure that you and your baby are getting all of the essential nutrients every day:

Meat/Protein Group - 6 ozs. total per day

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

red meat
poultry - remove skin
fish (see Foods to Avoid)
egg
cooked beans
nuts
peanut butter
(Serving size is one egg, ½ cup cooked beans or 1 ½ T peanut butter or 1 oz of meat.)

Grain Group - 6-11 servings per day

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

whole grain breads
high fiber cereal - look for 5 gm of fiber per serving
whole wheat pasta
oatmeal
whole wheat crackers
brown rice
(Serving size is 1 slice of bread, ½ bagel, 1 oz of cereal, 5-6 whole wheat crackers, 2 ozs cooked pasta or ½ cup of cooked grains)

Vegetable Group - 3-5 servings

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, leaf or romaine lettuce, collards or other greens)
deep yellow vegetables (squash, pumpkin, carrots)
others - tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, green peas, green/yellow beans, broccoli
(Serving size is 1 cup of leafy green vegetable, ½ cup of the others.)

Fruit Group - 2-4 servings

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

citrus - oranges, grapefruit, tangerines
strawberries
melons
mangoes
apples, bananas, peaches
(Serving size is 1 medium apple, orange or banana, ½ diced fruit or ¾ cup of fruit juice.)

Milk Group - 3 or more servings

Pregnancy Diet Plan Ideas include:

low fat yogurt
hard cheese
milk


1. Make double or triple recipes on the weekend so that you won't be tempted to eat unhealthy food that you can get down faster when you are hungry. One of my family's favorites is smoked turkey, which can easily be smoked on a weekend and then used in sandwiches, salads and casseroles all week.
2. Keep sliced vegetables sealed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for quick, healthy snacking to make part of your pregnancy diet plan.
3. Try making your own trail mix with nuts, seeds and raisins for eating on the go or adding to yogurt or ice cream. If you get the munchies, see information on cravings.
4. A good rule of thumb about eating healthier is simply not to buy junk food or heavily-processed food so it won't be in the house. Empty calories will pack on the calories but not the nutrients you need as part of your pregnancy diet plan.
5. Consider the benefits to you and the baby of eating organic food.

Are there any tried and true recipes for low carb bread?

Lost in Te

I'm a bread fanatic. In trying to drastically cut back on carbs, I haven't had too much trouble in the sweets department or with cereal but giving up bread is just too much. I was a vegetarian growing up and we ate a lot of healthy carbs (my mom ground her own wheat flour at home), and though I'm not vegetarian now I really don't eat a lot of meat. I love sandwiches, toast and coffee and french toast so if I could find a low carb bread recipe that would be so awesome. I saw a few online but none of them had any reviews so I would rather use a recipe that's been tried out. Also, I don't have a bread machine, so I will be making it by hand. Does anyone have any ideas? Any type of bread would be great- flatbread, pizza dough, etc. I can make adjustments once I have a good recipe.

Thanks!

Answer
I myself actually had no idea there was such thing as a "low carb bread" but i looked it up and well, http://www.healthylifebread.com/ is what i came up with, its worth a try


although if you like to bake, this would be an excellent idea that i must try one day

recipes that are vegetarian?

Q. I'm a flexatarian and thinking about becoming a full fledged vegetarian.

Answer
Healthy Eating:
5 A Day Fruit and Vegetables

Eating the recommended 5 a day servings of fruit and vegetables is the most important element of any healthy eating plan
The Health Benefits
For the last eight years the Dept. of Health has been trying to drive home the "5-A-Day" message. Research proves that eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day has very real health benefits. It can help to prevent heart diseases and some cancers. Evidence shows however, that many of us are not listening to this healthy eating advice. Recent research shows that only 1 in 7 of us achieve the 5 a day quota.

Dept. of Health to issue 5-A-Day Logo
To further drive home the healthy eating message, the Dept. of Health is introducing a new 5-A-Day logo initiative in Spring 2003. The Dept. of Health's logo will clearly indicate the fruits and vegetables that contribute towards the 5 portions it recommends you to eat each day. The logo will appear on fresh, frozen, tinned or dried fruit and vegetables and will indicate how many portions the food will count as. The criteria to use the logo is strict and aims to encourage you to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.

In an effort to encourage healthy eating more research is being done by the Dept. of Health to help clear up confusion about what counts towards 5 a day and what doesn't - several processed foods with added salt, sugar and fat, despite containing fruit or vegetables will not at present qualify for the logo.

What stops you from getting 5 a day - Time, Money, Dislike All Fruit and Vegetables?
Lack of time for healthy shopping
Look out for canned, frozen and juiced fruit and vegetables. They are just as nutritious. Buying your fruit and vegetables in this way also means you have plenty to hand when you need it without having to spend time stocking up with fresh produce every few days. Healthy eating doesn't mean you can't make use of convenience foods.

5 a day is too expensive
Don't be fooled, you could find healthy eating better for your budget. Fruit and vegetables (excluding exotic / imported ones) are surprisingly cheap. An average banana costs 20p - less than most bars of chocolate / crisps from the vending machine - and provides more in the way of nourishment for less calories.

Choose fresh fruit and vegetables in season, not only are they cheaper they will also be most flavoursome and at their best.
Markets also tend to be cheaper than supermarkets, particularly if you catch them when they packing up for the day.
Alternatively opt for supermarket branded tinned or frozen fruit and vegetables.
Dislike All Fruit and Vegetables
With such variety of tastes, it's hard to believe anyone can dislike them all. Also remember that tastes change as you age and therefore things you detested in your youth (like brussel sprouts...) may be a lot more palatable now! Try a different fruit / vegetable each week until you find some you enjoy.

Working Your Way to Five A Day
Make it a mission to start working to your five a day quota. Remember you don't have to include all five portions overnight - your body probably won't thank you for it! (A sudden change can cause uncomfortable bloating and gas). Also don't rush out and buy a heap of fresh fruit and vegetables - to watch it rot in the fridge / fruit bowl over the coming week! Build up gradually, make it a habit and remember each extra serving is a step in the right direction. Try these healthy eating tips for including more fruit and vegetables:

Healthy Breakfast
Have a glass of 100% pure, unsweetened fruit juice
Slice some fresh fruit over your breakfast cereal or toss in a handful of dried apricots / raisins
Try a banana sandwich made with wholemeal / granary bread for extra fibre too
Make a delicious fruit smoothie from fresh fruit. Or add some skimmed milk / low fat yoghurt for a more creamy consistency
Healthy Snacks
Look out individual portions of carrot batons, dried apricots, raisins and grapes at the supermarket - grab these instead of chocolate / crisps
Make some crudites - carrots batons, celery sticks, baby sweetcorn, asparagus tips - to enjoy with a low calorie dip
Keep a piece of fresh fruit on hand - and ensure you eat it before you reach for high sugar / calorie snacks
Healthy Lunch
Add tomatoes, cucumber, mixed salad leaves to your sandwiches
Toss a selection of fruit / vegetables and salad leaves together for a delicious alternative - drizzle with a low calorie dressing and enjoy with a crusty wholemeal roll
Make your own vegetable soup for colder weather
Healthy Evening Meal
Try to include at least one vegetable with your evening meal
Add sliced vegetables to stir fries and disguise grated carrot in homemade dishes
Make a fresh fruit salad for dessert
Healthy Eating Out
Order a pure, unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice
Request a side salad or vegetables instead of chips
Order a fresh fruit salad for dessert
What is a Portion of Fruit and Veg?
1 apple, banana, pear, orange or other similar sized fruit
2 plums, satsumas, kiwi fruit or other similar sized fruit
1â2 a grapefruit or avocado
1 large slice of melon or fresh pineapple
3 heaped tablespoons of vegetables, beans or pulses
3 heaped tablespoons of fruit salad or stewed fruit
1 heaped tablespoon of raisins or sultanas
3 dried apricots
1 cupful of grapes, cherries or berries
1 dessert bowl of salad
1 small glass (150ml) of pure fruit juice
Healthy Eating with Weight Loss Resources
Your Weight Loss Resources Food Diary keeps a tally of your fruit and vegetable servings each day. Our calculation is based on the principle that 80g fruit or vegetables = one serving. Whilst, for simplicity, this is an approximation, it proves to be a good indication of your fruit and vegetable intake, and will help get to 5 a day.


Hope this Helps.?

any good ideas for yummy finger food for a toddler party? preferably without eggs please...?

Q.

Answer
How old is the toddler? I have lots of healthy and yummy finger food recipes for tots

pinwheel sandwiches
mini pizzas
heart shaped chicken nuggets
chunky tomato and cream cheese dip
chocolate puff pastry mice
chewy apricot &cereal bars
shaped sandwiches
shortbread cookies
jello boats

email if you want the actual recipes to any of these. I've tried these with toddlers at my daughter's b-day parties and almost everyone liked them, including the adults!

Quick and Easy Dinners that are healthy and toddler friendly?

Q. Im a busy single mom and have a hard time coming up with quick dinner ideas that are healthy and somewhat quick that my picky 2 year old will like.

Anyone have any recipes that they wanna share?

Answer
Spaghetti and veggie sauce. My daughter won't hardly touch any vegetables,thank goodness she will eat her fruits. So,I'm 'sneaky'. I stick just about any vegetable in the pasta sauce.

Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie. Again,you can toss any vegetables in there.

Vegetable soup/stew. With the stew especially is Crock Pot friendly,you can leave it in there on low for 6-8 hours and come home to a nice dinner.

One of my daughter's favorite meals is a simple grilled cheese and tomato soup.
She also likes cottage cheese mixed with pineapple
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Tuna fish sandwiches with cheese

I find the less 'complicated' the meal is, the more she's likely to at least try a few bites. Stick to meals with a nice balance,nothing too heavily seasoned.

I'm a vegetarian and I usually have to make meals for myself. Any good recipes that are fairly healthy, but not all fruits and vegetables? I'm a pretty good cook, but I don't want anything extremely difficult. It doesn't have to be quick. Thanks!

Answer
Amy's Soy Mac-n-cheese, add Soy Knox or Smart Dogs.

Amy's Indian food or Trader Joe's Indian Food (Dal) with rice.

Hummus, pita bread and a salad.

Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avocado.

Slice tomatoes in rounds, top with Soya Kaas mozzarella cheese, basil, cut up figs (peeled, washed in hot water to bring out the sweetness) sprinkle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Leave out to room temp until cheese is 'melted' looking.

Stir-fry veggies and rice with Tofu - I use extra firm, wrap in paper towels to soak up the excess water. Cut in slices, fry in a little olive oil, hot pepper sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with ginger, garlic, curry, whatever you have in the cupboard. Top with sesame seeds. You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard.

Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad.

Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Italian Sausages cut them up and add it to the sauce. Serve with garlic bread - spread butter on bread, sprinkle with garlic powder and brown in a pan, butter side down.

Clean portabello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad.

MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza - add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions, soy cheese. Or if you are still eating egg whites, have the 'sausages' with egg whites.

Easy Corn Chowder Soup â 1 can each of White Corn, Yellow Corn and Creamed Corn, including the water from the can. Cut up celery add to the pot, add a little rice dream milk.

To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice â Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or toasted â add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avocado to the top.
