½ of a block Cream Cheese
2 whole (to 3) Green Onions
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Avocado
Red Onion

Alfalfa Sprouts.....optional
1 Or 2 Slices Of Muenster Cheese
Slice Of Cheddar Cheese
Lettuce ...I use Romain..your choice...

Slice all veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, red onions) thinly.
Split the bagel. Then toast it. Then let it cool completely. Toasting it gives it the perfect crunch and flavor, and texture Toasting is optional of course....... Spread the cream cheese generously on both sides of the bagel.

Layer the vegetables. First lay the avocados right along the cream cheese to help them stay put. Next the alfalfa sprouts which are optional and then one slice of each kind of cheese. On the other half of the bagel arrange the cucumber slices in a circle. Sprinkle the cucumbers with a pinch of salt if you would like.
Next lay the onion slices on top of the cucumbers, then the tomatoes, followed by a slice of lettuce, and if youâre feeling naughty, another slice of Muenster cheese. LOL

Put the whole thing together and Voila A cool, crisp, and deliciously fabulous Veggie and Cheese Bagel Sandwich.

Healthy Sandwich Recipe, please help!!!!?

Hey guys, Im on a diet and i go to a school that has no cafeteria which means we have to bring our own food. I usually take to school a turkey sandwhich with mayo, tomatoe and lettuce and white bread and i know it has many calories. I would like to know an easy to make sandwich recipe with not many calories and that is easy to take every where. Thank you.

P.S. Not a very hard to make sanwich, just a VERYYYYY simple sandwich with few calories, and which has fewer calories, brown or white bread? Thank you sooo much :P

Answer
First off, sandwiches are a fine food to eat if you're on a diet. They incorporate several food groups and include good nutrition. Whole grain bread is better than white bread - it has more fiber and better nutrients. If you want to cut calories, make a large half sandwich using only one piece of bread, but adding more meat and veggies. Lowfat wraps are also a good way to get lots of protein and veggies in sandwich form without too much bread.

The sandwich you're eating is perfectly healthy. Mayo is an OK condiment if used moderately. It's made with eggs and vegetable oil, and the fat in it helps to keep you full (thus preventing you from overeating and extra snacking later). Don't use more than 2 tbs.

I'm not a big mayo eater, and have lots of things I like to put on sandwich bread instead:
Mustard (try different kinds - Dijon, whole grain, spicy)
Cranberry sauce (great with turkey!)
Hummus
Pesto
Avocado (also has fat and calories but is super healthy)
Oil, vinegar and herbs
Salad dressing

You could also think about salads. They're a great meal, and easy to make the night before.

Answer
One stir fry that's good for the go and quite filling : sprouted bean stir fry
1. 1 cup sprouted beans (the green ones are the tastiest for this recipe)
2. Green peppers 1 finely chopped
3. Garlic 2 pearls/cloves - finely diced
4. Ginger quarter of an inch - finely diced
5. A green chilli - finely chopped (add this if you like spicy food)
6. vinegar - 1/2 tsp
7. Soy sauce - 1/2 tsp (if you like the flavour)
8. Chopped cilantro (that's my twist to the recipe!)
9. Oil - canola/vegetable - 2 tsp
10. Salt to taste

Take a wok - heat the oil - add the garlic, ginger and chilly. Add the bell pepper - and saute on high flame - once the bell pepper is soft, add the sprouted beans, salt, vinegar and soy sauce. Saute all of this for a minute and remove from heat. Add some chopped cilantro - just a handful...and a tasty stir fry is ready to go.....

Good simple healthy recipes?

Any ideas for some tasty healthy recipes that won't leave me in the kitchen forever and won't cause me to have to buy super expensive ingredients I'll only use once?

Please only include ones you have personally tried. My husband and I are trying to choose healthier fare. However, I was raised cooking southern comfort food so my list for healthy things to cook is kind of limited to salads, roast, and oatmeal (blech I know).

Thanks!
I work long hours and have a long commute and don't always want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

Answer
Here are some simple and healthy recipe ideas =)

~ Spinach & cheese omelet (eggs, baby spinach, cheese of your choice) served with a salad or veggies + some healthy multigrain toast if you'd like.
- For salad try using mixed baby greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber & low-fat salad dressing. You can also add things like nuts, goat cheese or feta cheese crumbles, and dried cranberries. Try using organic ingredients if you can.

~ Vegan chili =) It's an easy, great recipe. It serves 6 - 8 people.
- 1 tbsp safflower or olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 1 jar mild salsa
- 1 jar fire-roasted tomato sauce
- 1 can red kidney beans
- 1 package Yves veggie ground round

Roasted salmon recipe - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-recipes/RE00145
Maple-glazed roasted salmon - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-recipes/NU00431
For the sweet potatoes - to cook them just brush them with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt, peppers & basil and bake.

* Smoked salmon & cream cheese bagels with a side salad.

* Mozzarella, pesto & tomato sandwich (you can try using goat cheese to) + salad
- Toast the bread, spread with pesto, add mozzarella & tomato slices.

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

great healthy sandwich recipes image

monkisrock

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!

-monkisrockmisox

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.

What would be a great and healthy snack to make from scratch?

drive325mp

Just tired of wasting money buying junk food and would like some very interesting recipes so I can start by saving lots of money. By making great and healthy snacks from scratch.

Answer
You could make some granola. Look online for many different recipes and pick out what you like. I like sites like Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Epicurious.

Pinwheel sandwiches are good. Spread flour tortillas with a mixture of cream cheese plus finely diced veggies like bell peppers, squash, cucumbers, a little fresh herb like thyme or parsley, salt and pepper. Don't quite go to the edges when you spread it. Then roll it up, wrap in plastic wrap for an hour or more to keep the shape. Unwrap from the plastic and cut into slices.

You could mix the cream cheese with salsa and then wrap it for another version.

Tuna or chicken salad on endive or romaine leaves.

Enjoy.

How can I make canned chicken brest?

great healthy sandwich recipes image

Blue Butte

I want to make canned chicken brest at home for make healthy sandwich for my kids. Someone has a good recipe?

Answer
How To Can Chicken Breast.The ingredients here are simple: Chicken and Salt.

Begin by cutting your boneless chicken into chunks then pack them raw into the jars, leaving about 3/4th of an inch headspace

Next add 3/4 tsp of salt to each jar

Wipe the rims with a damp clean rag and then place the lids and rings on the jars. Remember if you are using Tattler lids to back them off 1/4 inch. After you get the lids and rings on then place into your canner with the needed water for a long processing time. You do not want it to boil dry during processing. Use the racks in between levels of jars.

Place the lid onto your canner and then bring it to a boil. You want the steam to vent out of the stem for about 10 minutes. Then place your weight on the canner and set to 15lb (or the recomended pressure for your elevation). Once the canner gets to the correct pressure then time for 75 minutes for pints and 90 minutes for qts.

Once the time is up then slide your canner off the burner to a cool spot. Do not try to rapidly reduce the pressure you can have jar breakage and seal failure. After it is cooled sufficiently to have no pressure left remove the lid carefully (the steam can burn you) Then using a jar lifter remove the jars and place them on a clean dry towel. The jars are very hot at this point and may still be boiling inside the jar. If you are using Tattler lids then now is the time to tighten the rings down. Once again use oven mits as the jars are very hot.

Leave the jars undisturbed until they are fully cooled.

After they have cooled then place a piece of tape on the lid and mark at least the date also the contents if you so desire. Chicken prepared like this is great for many dishes but our favorite is chicken salad for sandwiches.
Chicken Salad

1 jar canned chicken
6 hard boiled eggs
Mayo
Relish
salt/pepper to taste
Chcopped green onions
chopped celery if desired

Place into a bowl the drained chicken broken up, the cut up hard boiled eggs, the chopped onions and celery. Then add relish to taste and Mayo to desired consistency, salt and pepper to taste. Put whatever amount you want on bread or crackers and enjoy. It is beautiful served on a lettuce leaf.

How to perfect my pizza sandwich recipe?

Poppin' Bo

I made up this recipe but I want some herbs to make the taste BAM into your mouth. So far it's just melted cheese and a healthy mix of tomato paste (with garlic and some bits of onion mixed through) between two thick slices of bread.

Any food you would put in it or any herbs you would suggest. I am aiming for it to taste like a homemade pizza. I would like to make it so the garlic bursts and shows itself clearly.

Answer
Oregano would be the best herb to add. It goes great with cheese and tomatoes and is always in pizza. Oooh, and make sure you add some black pepper too.

To bring the garlic out more, try rubbing a clove on the bread first, or grating a TINY bit of raw garlic in. The flavour's incredibly strong when it's raw, so it'll definitely bring out the garlickiness, but don't overdo it!

Original Question

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

Q. 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!

A. 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.

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.
