Healthy sandwich recipes?

Q. Any really healthy sandwich recipes? NOTE: I'm on a diet, so no fattening things! PS NOTE: I'm 14, keep it easy. Something that I can take to school!
NOTE: I don't eat pig at all. Also I don't want meat/chicken in it xx

Answer
Choose whole wheat bread, because it's more nutritious than white bread, plus it keeps you feeling full for longer.

Add some salad (lettuce, sliced tomato and cucumber, for example) and then a sliced boiled egg, some smoked ham (or a non-meat alternative, something in slices) or some sliced low-fat cheese, then add some low-fat mayonnaise or salad dressing. Wrap the sandwich in foil to keep it really fresh. You can also take an apple or orange.

Make sure the salad makes up half the filling though, because that bulks out the sandwich and is almost calorie-free. If you want to make something you can scoop into the salad, you could finely chop some celery and onion, and stir it with reduced-fat salad dressing plus a can of tuna or some chopped boiled egg, and use that.

What are some simple, yummy, healthy recipes?

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

Any egg salad sandwiches that mask the smell of eggs?

healthy egg sandwich recipes image

space monk

I love the taste of eggs, but I hate the smell of it. What are some healthy egg sandwich recipes that will hide the smell of eggs?

Answer
Add a lot of diced up celery, that does it for me. Also the crunchiness is great and it makes a very tasty sandwich. (For each egg use about a tbsp. of your favorite mayo.) Best to chill before eating; then all you'll smell is the celery.

Do you know any healthy recipes?

I was thinking about cooking them-

Answer
Omelets with eggs, cheese, avocado, spinach and tomatoes would be good.

What are your favorite healthy recipes and food?

sparklelov

My husband and I are eating healthy and was wanting to know what kind of recipes you have that are delicious that are healthy? Also, what kind of snacks or other healthy ideas do you enjoy? Thank you!!!

Answer
Ways that helped me to a healthy lifestyle way of eating:

Nutritious foods that are high in nutrients and low in fat and sugar (no sugar, if possible).

Substituting sugar and oil (partially, depends on the recipe) by using applesauce and pureed fruits in baked goods.

Eating veggies as the main dish and lean meats (including beans), fish and chicken (very little red meat) as a side dish.

Eating whole wheat rice, pasta and breads is good as a side dish or as part of the main dish, as long as it is not high in fat, but is high in fiber. Lots of times, breads and pasta will say its wheat when it isn't whole wheat; something to watch out for.

Eating 3 meals plus 2 snacks a day is good.

Staying away from fast foods and tv dinners laden with fat and sugar.

Staying away from mayonnaise, in sandwiches or salads especially, use mustard instead. For dips and salads, use non fat to low fat yogurt. Or used tomato based dressing or dip (like salsa)

Use monosaturated fats like olive oil, not polyunsaturated or saturated fats.

Key is finding what kinds of foods you like; going to the American Heart Association website as a guideline.

Then looking at recipes that appeal to you.

I made a binder, with plastic sheet pocket protector page with index pages (salads, meats, side dishes, desserts, etc.). I’d try the recipe, if it’s good, it stays, if not, its tossed.

Tuna cakes
1 can tuna, drained (I like the one packed in water)
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup bread crumbs (I use leftover whole wheat bread and grind it up in the food processor)
1 egg (or 1/4 egg substitute)
onion (optional)

Mix together, using pie plate with crumbs in it (2 inchs thick or more), make 4 to 6 patties, (or one big one if you want a big tuna burger sandwich), cover each one with the crumbs.

Place in preheated, oiled pan.

Brown on one side then flip it, to brown on other side.
-----
Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 onion, cut into wedges
OR
Frozen pepper stir fry, thawed (red, yellow, green pepper slices and onion slices, available in the freezer section at the grocery).

3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg (or egg substitute equivalent to1-1.5 eggs (1/4-3/8 cups))
OR
1 Tbsp. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp. water Stir together until thick and gelatinous.

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs (maybe in addition, add 1/2 cup cooked brown rice) (possibly use rolled oats instead of bread crumbs)

Note:
How to keep them from falling apart. Rinse the black beans and dry them off before mashing them. Use the food processor for the onion, garlic and pepper mixture and then strain juices through a fine strainer to remove any excess water. Put back in food processor.

Blend everything in the food processor, beginning with onions, peppers, and garlic, bread crumbs, eggs and spices and then the beans last.

Note: Put a little oil on your hands when shaping the patties to prevent sticking.

Divide mixture into four patties. (Made them smaller, ended up with 6 and served them with a "dipping sauce" salsa.)

For Grilling: Freeze patties and grill them frozen.

Directions
For grilling: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil.. Place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking,

For Oven Baking: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet. Place patties on cookie sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
----
Homemade Chicken or Fish Nuggets
This was originally used for fish but I have also used it for chicken nuggets the same way, I just cook them a little longer:

2 or 3 Tilapia filets
1 egg
about 1/2 c milk
about 1/3 c parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
about 1 cup bread crumbs

Preheat over to 400. Cut the fish (or chicken) up into bite size pieces. Put the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan into a ziploc bag. Mix the egg and the milk in a good sized bowl and add the fish (or chicken) nuggets to the bowl.

Take the nuggets out of the milk/egg mixture a few at a time and drop into the bag. Shake around until well coated and then place on baking sheet (you can grease it but I usually just line with foil). Do this until they are all coated and bake about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your nuggets, slightly longer for chicken. They are good!

3/4cup applesauce (unsweetened)

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.

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.

What's a healthy breakfast for my family?

Q. I want to cook breakfast for my family tomorrow, and I want it to be something healthy, and something they would like. They do like healthy stuff, just not alot. Is there any healthy foods I can cook for my family? And if possible can you give me a link to the recipe?

I was thinking about cooking them-
Toast
Egg Sandwiches
Cereal

Is that healthy? Thanks.

A. Omelets with eggs, cheese, avocado, spinach and tomatoes would be good.

Original Question

What are your favorite healthy recipes and food?

Q. My husband and I are eating healthy and was wanting to know what kind of recipes you have that are delicious that are healthy? Also, what kind of snacks or other healthy ideas do you enjoy? Thank you!!!

A. Ways that helped me to a healthy lifestyle way of eating:

Nutritious foods that are high in nutrients and low in fat and sugar (no sugar, if possible).

Substituting sugar and oil (partially, depends on the recipe) by using applesauce and pureed fruits in baked goods.

Eating veggies as the main dish and lean meats (including beans), fish and chicken (very little red meat) as a side dish.

Eating whole wheat rice, pasta and breads is good as a side dish or as part of the main dish, as long as it is not high in fat, but is high in fiber. Lots of times, breads and pasta will say its wheat when it isn't whole wheat; something to watch out for.

Eating 3 meals plus 2 snacks a day is good.

Staying away from fast foods and tv dinners laden with fat and sugar.

Staying away from mayonnaise, in sandwiches or salads especially, use mustard instead. For dips and salads, use non fat to low fat yogurt. Or used tomato based dressing or dip (like salsa)

Use monosaturated fats like olive oil, not polyunsaturated or saturated fats.

Key is finding what kinds of foods you like; going to the American Heart Association website as a guideline.

Then looking at recipes that appeal to you.

I made a binder, with plastic sheet pocket protector page with index pages (salads, meats, side dishes, desserts, etc.). I’d try the recipe, if it’s good, it stays, if not, its tossed.

Tuna cakes
1 can tuna, drained (I like the one packed in water)
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup bread crumbs (I use leftover whole wheat bread and grind it up in the food processor)
1 egg (or 1/4 egg substitute)
onion (optional)

Mix together, using pie plate with crumbs in it (2 inchs thick or more), make 4 to 6 patties, (or one big one if you want a big tuna burger sandwich), cover each one with the crumbs.

Place in preheated, oiled pan.

Brown on one side then flip it, to brown on other side.
-----
Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 onion, cut into wedges
OR
Frozen pepper stir fry, thawed (red, yellow, green pepper slices and onion slices, available in the freezer section at the grocery).

3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg (or egg substitute equivalent to1-1.5 eggs (1/4-3/8 cups))
OR
1 Tbsp. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp. water Stir together until thick and gelatinous.

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs (maybe in addition, add 1/2 cup cooked brown rice) (possibly use rolled oats instead of bread crumbs)

Note:
How to keep them from falling apart. Rinse the black beans and dry them off before mashing them. Use the food processor for the onion, garlic and pepper mixture and then strain juices through a fine strainer to remove any excess water. Put back in food processor.

Blend everything in the food processor, beginning with onions, peppers, and garlic, bread crumbs, eggs and spices and then the beans last.

Note: Put a little oil on your hands when shaping the patties to prevent sticking.

Divide mixture into four patties. (Made them smaller, ended up with 6 and served them with a "dipping sauce" salsa.)

For Grilling: Freeze patties and grill them frozen.

Directions
For grilling: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil.. Place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking,

For Oven Baking: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet. Place patties on cookie sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
----
Homemade Chicken or Fish Nuggets
This was originally used for fish but I have also used it for chicken nuggets the same way, I just cook them a little longer:

2 or 3 Tilapia filets
1 egg
about 1/2 c milk
about 1/3 c parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
about 1 cup bread crumbs

Preheat over to 400. Cut the fish (or chicken) up into bite size pieces. Put the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan into a ziploc bag. Mix the egg and the milk in a good sized bowl and add the fish (or chicken) nuggets to the bowl.

Take the nuggets out of the milk/egg mixture a few at a time and drop into the bag. Shake around until well coated and then place on baking sheet (you can grease it but I usually just line with foil). Do this until they are all coated and bake about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your nuggets, slightly longer for chicken. They are good!

Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies (Low Fat and Moist)

Total Time: 1 hr
Makes: 3 1/2 dozen

Ingredients:
1 1/2cups all purpose flour
1tsp. baking soda
1 1/2tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2tsp. salt
1/4tsp. ground nutmeg
3/4cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2cup Splenda
1/4cup margarine, softened
3/4cup applesauce (unsweetened)
1/4cup egg substitute or 1 egg
2Tbsp. fat-free milk
2tsp. vanilla
3cups quick or old fashioned uncooked oatmeal
1cup diced (can use food processor, much easier) dried mixed fruit or raisins

Preparation:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray or grease lightly with cooking oil.

2. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg; mix well. In large bowl, beat sugars and margarine until well blended. Add applesauce, egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir in flour mixture' mix well. Stir in oats and dried fruit; mix well. (Dough will be moist.)

3. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookies sheets.

4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store in tightly cover container.

Notes:
These cookies are moist and chewy; low in fat and low in sugar. I like them better the next day when they are moister and even more flavorful.

Plan on try making these with powdered flaxseed (good source of omega-3 fatty acids).

Original Question

What are some healthy meals\snacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner that I can make at home?

Q. What are some healthy, easy meals\snacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner that I can make at home?
10 points for the most ideas for all the meals\snacks!

A. Breakfast:

- Egg whites (better for you than the whole egg) with a little salt and pepper, maybe some cheese to add flavor, on wheat toast.
- Grapefruit (it's sooo healthy for you, it can be a snack too)
- Cottage Cheese Pancakes: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/351
- Oatmeal
- All fruit smoothie. Have non frozen fruit and add ice or use frozen fruit and add a little 100% fruit juice. You can make it a *healthy* milk shake by using low fat milk instead of juice and adding a little sugar (sugar isn't unhealthy in small amounts, but fake sugar like sweet and low and equal are bad for you)

Lunch/Dinner:

- Chicken breast with lemon pepper or other seasonings
- A spinach tortilla with chicken cooked in some bbq sauce. Add lots of lettuce and a little bit of light ranch (like a teaspoon, if even that).
- Salad- there are thousands of possible salads you can make but what I love doing is a bunch of lettuce, some spinach if you like that, salt, pepper, garlic (powder and only a small amount) and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, or even carrots and peppers
- Taco Salad: brown some lean beef, drain any fat, add seasonings (McCormick has a taco seasoning packet for 50 cents). Make a bowl full of lettuce, tomatoes if you want, some beef, some cheese if you want, and tortilla chips if you want (less healthy version).
- Chicken in a bag- McCormick's has these awesome chicken bag seasonings where you throw chicken in the bag (they provide) with some carrots, potatoes, whatever you want, add the seasoning and bake for about an hour. One of my husbands favorites!
- Costco sells individual salmon fillets. Take one out of the fridge/freezer, season to your liking, throw on a pan, the grill, or in the oven and cook.
- a sandwich- between whole wheat bread slices, pita style, or wrapped up (spinach wraps are really delicious, or whole wheat wraps which I'm not a huge fan of).
- Make some quinoa or brown rice in a rice cooker or in a pot if you don't have one. Add some black beans, salt and pepper, and some mozzarella if it's still to bland. I like to add some sriracha (chili hot sauce) into the rice as it cooks and some garlic seasoning. It adds some kick and makes it taste really good without adding the sodium from cheese.

Snacks:
- peppers
- celery. If you hate it alone add some organic peanut butter (no preservatives) you can even go to many stores and grind your own peanuts into peanut butter.
- peas, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, other vegetables but not potatoes or corn.
- apples, pears, bananas, berries, grapefruit, and other fruits.
- some nuts or a homemade trail mix (raisins, peanuts, almonds, some dark chocolate chips, whatever else you want)


Dessert
- a small amount of dark chocolate is actually really good for you. The higher the cocoa content the better :) But only a small amount.


Those are my favorites but check out this site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/over-100-quick-and-easy-healthy-foods.html

for more options. There are an unlimited amount of healthy foods out there you just have to find what you like and stick with it :)
