Your favourite Sandwich?

Hedwig

Mine has either gotta be a Wholemeal bread sandwich with Marmite, Ham, Lettuce, and Onions
Or another Wholemeal Bread Sandwich but with Prawns and a small amount of mayo.
(No margarine on either)

Answer
Grilled panini sandwiches are really healthy and tasty too:

And another favorite of mine is chicken salad sandwich:

http://www.webnuggetz.com/chicken-salad-sandwich-recipe/

If my sandwich filling includes mayo or some kind of creamy dressing then I don't use butter, but I will butter the bread if the filling is something dry.

Your Marmite and ham salad sandwich sounds unusual! I've only ever had Marmite by itself on toast or on toast with scrambled eggs on top.

Yummy healthy lunches?

Here's the deal, I brown bag it for lunch at school. haha.

I'm a vegetarian and generally I eat a PB and J sandwich on whole wheat bread, some sort of fruit, and either some nuts or something of that maner.

Any ideas on how I can spice it up? I'm just trying to eat healthier and would like some ideas!

I'm vegetarian BTW and I don't have access to the microwave.

I'm trying to lose some weight before I go to Florida and Costa Rica in March/April. What are your favorite healthy recipes?

Answer
Pizza Panini

Prep time: 3 minutes
Cook time: 3 to 4 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

* 4 small Italian rolls or 1 loaf French bread cut into four 3-inch pieces
* 1/2 cup bottled pizza sauce
* 1 cup shredded mozzarella or a blend (such as Kraft 5-Cheese Italian)
* 1 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, or 16 slices pepperoni
* 4 tsp grated parmesan cheese

1. Preheat indoor grill or grill pan. Split rolls in half. Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce on half of each roll. Top each with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup broccoli or 4 slices pepperoni, and 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese. Top with remaining bread.

2. Place sandwiches on grill, cover, and cook them for 4 minutes, until cheese is melted. Cool slightly and slice on diagonal. Serve with sliced yellow or red peppers.

Tip: You can also cook panini on a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Place a smaller skillet on top of sandwich to flatten slightly. Cook 2 minutes, carefully flip, flatten, and cook 2 more minutes.

Per serving (with broccoli): 349 calories, 9 g fat (3 g saturated), 928 mg sodium, 11 mg cholesterol.

What is you all-time favorite sandwich recipe?

Q. Do you have a unique sandwich idea? I prefer healthy sandwiches (no bologna), but I'm getting bored with my usuals. What are some of your ideas to add variety to my lunch sandwiches? Different ideas for breads? ingredients? types of mustard? combinations of ingredients?

I already enjoy turkey w/ swiss, cheese, cranberry & stuffing ... another favorite is a good slice of baquette, w/ artichoke hearts, brie cheese, and toasted almonds, broiled til warm and gooey.
Wow, some great recipes so far! Things that have caught my eye are the olive spread and grilled vegies; the tofu; the Sharon sandwich; Calif chicken; tom, basil, mozzerella; and chicken w/ basil, etc.

I do enjoy PB& banana, I'll have to try w/ strawberry slices :-)

Tuna w/ BBQ sauce? what kind of bbq sauce?

Keep the ideas/recipes coming, and thanks!

Answer
grilled chicken breast
pesto sauce mixed with mayo
roasted red peppers
red onion, thinly sliced
provolone cheese
on herbed foccacia or ciabatta bread, or even in a pita

Then, if you have a grill (better yet, a panini grill), grill the completed sandwich until the cheese starts to melt and the bread gets crusty.

I think I have to get out of the food section. LoL. Drool =P

is this weird meal healthy or not?

Ann Kr

2 slightly toasted whole wheat bread with white cheese and 3/4 cup of cherries (the cherries are chopped up inside of the sandwich and the cheese is slightly melted).

Healthy, easy eating for a non-cooker?

scareddd

Alright, so I don't work out or eat well. Thank goodness I've never had a weight issue, but I know as I'm getting older, I need to start taking this seriously. Any suggestions on easy snacks & meals for someone who doesn't cook at all & who wants to shed a few pounds / maintain current weight?

My daily routine, pretty sad, is usually:
Breakfast: Raisin Bran & fresh fruit or yogurt, granola & fruit or I'll make a quick smoothie using frozen fruit & OJ

Lunch: a sandwich or a salad

Dinner: A gourmet menu of either spaghetti & sauce, sometimes chicken & a salad, or another sandwich.

Drinks: water, milk, orange juice

I'm not a picky eater, but I am afraid of cooking & intense recipes with a lot of ingredients. I don't get bored quickly with food either..

Any advice?
Let me emphasize my lack of knowledge, cookware, & willingness to experiment... There are middle schoolers who can cook better than I can.

Answer
I'm assuming that you have either two pans or a George Foreman type grill. I recommend this recipe because panini's are delicious and because its almost too easy. It uses precooked chicken breast strips. It's quick and easy! enjoy


INGREDIENTS
- 1 (11 ounce) package Tyson Grilled and Ready Fully Cooked Grilled Chicken Breast Strips
- 1/2 cup pesto sauce, prepared
- 8 slices Italian bread
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Spread one tablespoon of pesto onto one side of each bread slice. Divide chicken strips among 4 slices of bread. Place a slice of cheese on top of chicken. Top with remaining bread slices, pesto side down.

Brush the outer sides of each sandwich with olive oil.

Heat large skillet or griddle over medium. Grill sandwiches until browned on one side; turn and grill until brown on other side.

How healthy/unhealthy is this sandwich?

Life

-2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread
- 1slice of provolone cheese
-1 egg fried with a little olive oil
-3 thin slice of honey ham or turkey
-romaine lettuce
-spinach
-tomatoes
-cucumber
-garnish with a dash of pepper and a wee bit honey mustard dressing

Is it unhealthy to eat everyday or every other day?

Answer
Thatâs a trick question.
You donât give enough info to get a straight answer.

Likeâ¦is this lunch?
To prepare in advance and take somewhere of just do it just before you eat it?
If you prepare it in advance, you need a refrigeration system (because of the meat/poultry/egg).

Also anything healthy becomes unhealthy if you eat it every day as you do not allow your taste buds to diversify and cannot satisfy a 2 weeks nutritional requirement if you eat the same thing over and over.



Letâs analyze in orderâ¦

Whole wheat bread is my favorite (crust removed and so fulfilling) beside my homemade bread which I mostly use for a hearty breakfasts (I cannot make fluffy whole wheat bread like commercial breads, one day Iâll find out how they can do it).

The provolone cheese or whatever cheese you like is fine as long as you like the taste by itself so it enhances your sandwich (taste it before using it) as commercial sliced cheeses in some countries (like the US) can ruin a sandwich (I find aged Swiss and Munster ok, but still mild). I ruined a Panini once and after investigation I discovered that the cheese I used tasted more like water (I think it was mozzarella, sometimes, youâre not even sure your cheese actually contains cheese if itâs highly processed food). It was more hurtful because I had high expectations, going out of my way with the prosciutto and the pesto and using my Foreman grill as a Panini press. You cannot always succeed when you experiment new sandwiches and recipesâ¦just donât proudly give them to somebody else before even tasting itâ¦and then theyâre disappointed and like âwhat it this? I want your awesome usual sandwichâ.
After all the effort you put into it!?
Some brands (I wonât name those) will have some good tasting kinds of cheese along with dreadful bland taste other kinds of cheese.


The egg fried with olive oil is a mystery to me.
I only use hard boiled eggs for sandwiches as theyâre easy to cook (just boil water), easy to slice in an egg slicer and you can make a batch in advance.
But the olive oil is very healthy (men need 2 Tbsp/day, women need only 1 Tbsp) if you can manage to get olive oil in a sandwich without making it greasy.
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats (oleic acids) which not only raise the good HDL cholesterol but also lower the bad LDL cholesterol.
Itâs the best healthy fat (along with peanut oilâ¦unless somebody is allergic to peanuts, so go with olive oil and be safe).
Hopefully, youâre using extra light olive oil or your sandwich is going to taste âoffâ if you cook with extra virgin olive oil that degrades to toxic compounds with heat.
And youâre not using the 100% pure olive oil, which is the lowest quality as itâs not virgin.
Use extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings but extra light olive oil (same calorie content but lighter in COLOR) ) for cookingâ¦baking/frying/roasting as it was refined to withstand cooking temperatures (+375F but has less flavor). Use a big black marker and write âsaladâ on the label of your extra virgin olive oil and âcookingâ on the label of the extra light one because if youâre not confused, somebody else could be.
In a bind, you can use extra light olive oil for salad dressing but itâs bland so youâll need more herbs/spices/mustard/shallots, etc.
BUT do not use extra virgin olive oil for cooking (you can use canola oil).
I use canola oil (polyunsaturated fats) to deep fry healthy homemade French fries.

Limit your egg yolks to one/day. Studies find that eating up to 6 yolks per week is healthy.
(I guess they did not work on Sundays).
You donât get higher cholesterol eating egg cholesterol but eating saturated fat (which an egg yolk has less than one third of it).
Weâve come a long way from âno more than 2 yolks/week to 4 to 6. Maybe one day theyâll study the 8 yolks/week effect (you can have as many egg whites as you want though, more protein there, super low calories, 17 per egg whites, and no fats).

who has recipe ideas for me and my friends to make?

Q. I'm pretty good at coking and me and my friends have decided to through a cooking sleepover party...... fun, healthy, something for dinner... it doesn't really matter what kind of recipe


thanks xoxoxox
all the answers so far have been wonderful...,. sorry if i dont pic one for best answer because they are all that good


tank u all so much.

A. Make yummy sandwhiche's

CUBAN SANDWICH

Traditional Ingredients:

3 slices (almost shaved) of boiled ham
3 slices of turkey (optional)
3 slices roast pork hot or cold
3 slices of salami
3 slices of Swiss cheese
3 or 4 slices of pickles
1/3 cut Cuban bread hard crust

Optional Ingredients:

3 slices of tomato
4 slices of green bell pepper
3 slices onion
1/3 cut French or Cuban bread
1 leaf Romaine lettuce
mayonnaise, mustard to taste

It is important that the sandwich be prepared on Cuban bread, French or Italian bread - any artisan style bread with a hard crust.

All cold cuts should be sliced very thinly; almost shaved. Slice the bread in an open faced fashion and spread lightly with mustard first, then with mayonnaise. Remember this is not entirely traditional, but still good.

Add the ham (roast pork), turkey and salami. Next add a layer of tomato, pepper, onion and lettuce. Top the sandwich and press.

Press the sandwich on a hot skillet with a weight on top. A suitable weight would be a heavy (clean) cast iron skillet that has been heated until sizzling.

Or better yet, use a sandwich press or panini grill if one is available.

Cuban Sandwiches and their variations are sold in almost every Deli or Restaurant in Tampa, Florida.

Cuban sandwiches are good cold and for picnics or take-alongs, too.

PREPARATION
Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, oregano, sage, chives, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing in a small bowl. Add beans, tomatoes and celery to the large bowl; toss well.
Preheat grill to medium-high or place a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Thread shrimp onto 6 skewers. (If using a grill pan, you don’t need to skewer the shrimp.)
Oil the grill rack (see Tip) or the grill pan. Grill the shrimp until pink and firm, turning once, about 4 minutes total. Serve the shrimp on the white bean salad, drizzled with the reserved dressing.
TIPS & NOTES
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the salad and shrimp separately for up to 1 day. | Equipment: Six 8- to 10-inch skewers
Note: Both wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp can damage the surrounding ecosystems when not managed properly. Look for shrimp certified by an independent agency, such as Wild American Shrimp or Marine Stewardship Council. If you can’t find certified shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp from North America—it’s more likely to be sustainably caught. Shrimp is usually sold by the number needed to make one pound. For example, “21-25 count” means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound. Size names, such as “large” or “extra large,” are not standardized. In recipes calling for a specific count, order by the count (or number) per pound to be sure you’re getting the size you want.
Tip: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

Original Question

Good vegetarian dishes?

Q. What are some nice vegetarian dishes, using pasta mostly. Could be desert.

Needs to be at least apatizing to a child

A. Soups!!!! There are so many like vegetable, potato, broccoli and kids love these with a half sandwich or on there own
nothing wrong with steamed veggies in a sauce
google any of these and you'l come up with a multitude of amazing recipes
I have this feeling like kids are more influenced by their parents issues about foods than the parents realize like if you see parents with a phobia of healthy foods the kids will usualy be shaped by it as well and if the parents treat certain foods like they are over their kids head it will put it in the childs mind that it might be frightening or gross when we know they are not. I always try not to project with kids and have been very surprised at how well they can handle being mature about new things if you get excited about them.That said try your kids on some hummus and just call it a spread maybe sneak it into a sandwich first.
I love making kids healthy deserts because they will eat anything sweet
If you have a food processor take a small baking tray and slice some yellow bananas into about ½ inch thick slices and throw them in the freezer when frozen take them out and let them soften for about 5-8 min then toss them in the food processor and blend until smooth
This is like banana ice cream and your kids will love it because it’s cold and sweet and smooth like a dairy product and you can get creative and add in bits of strawberries and other fruits and berries and dates will sweeten it alot and will even give it a caramel like taste and a little vanilla makes it like heaven! you will probobly enjoy this low fat desert to.
If you just need pasta try sneaking in some zucchini lasagna like this no noodle version from chow
http://www.chow.com/recipes/30280-noodleless-zucchini-lasagna
If you doing Italian make your own pizza and slowly add different veggies chopped small at first then a little bigger I always do sliced tomatoes and the roma’s sliced look like pepperoni’s
For more adult’ish foods grill some veggies and also grill corn and potatoes. This is great for even a severely unexposed kid (zucchini, onion, bell peppers, and jalapeños chopped small with bigger pieces of more identifiable stuff like potatoes and carrots which are sweeter and always corn) I just toss them in a little olive oil and some salt and pepper make a packet with tin foil toss them on the grill and when they are tender I have them with fresh corn and some salsa in corn tortillas and it’s like grilled southwest veggie tacos... maybe some chipotle sauce mmmm good!

GET SNEAKY try grilled cheese with tomatoes then move up to steamed broccoli then other veggies then switch to a white french bread and grill it on a forman grill or a cast iron stove top grill and it becomes a panini
Slow integration in a familiar way is my motto for dealing with picky eaters and even some adults I've met trying to improve their diets. If they eat beans try adding new veggies in with the beans if not try adding beans into whatever they will eat
The USDA has made a new version of the food pyramid.Now they have “my plate” which is much healthier than the pyramid and is closer to a more realistic balance for what a developing body needs. Essentially what your average person should see on there plate would be ½ a plate of veggies and or fruits half of it raw half cooked ¼ grains/carbs like potatoes keeping them as whole as possible and then the rest is essentially proteins like those found in legumes, nuts, dairy products like cheese and meats like fish and chicken. The best options are those high in omega fatty acids which help with brain function and you want to stay away from fatty cholesterol building meats like organ meats bacon and even ground beef if you can help it
so a vegetarian meal is more likely to be closer to this plate than say a meal focused around meat wich sould make up less than a quarter of your plate
most Americans don’t get this ideal balance and so many have pretty hefty vitamin deficits but also the vegetables we do usually see in the supermarket are mostly grown in very heavily farmed areas where the soil is very poor in the elements that the vegetables convert to vitamins and so they don’t have the same nutrition they might have had say 50 years ago so kids (and adults) should take a multi vitamin like a Flintstones gummy vitamin to supplement their diet even if it is very healthy diet! And yes it is very important
**WAY TO GO FOR ENCURAGING MORE HEALTHY FOODS FOR YOUR LITTLE ONES**and for yourself. It will make the difference between a long healthy life or a short one racked with problems
good luck
