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.

Quorn turkey roast, with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Use leftovers on for a 'turkey' sandwich or in soup -

Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup

6 cups of pure water
¾ cup Vegetarian Chicken Soup Base
6 organic celery stalks, chopped
1 ½ cups sweet onion
6 carrots, chopped finely
1 package organic noodles (rice, corn or barley)
1 package of Quorn Tenders (or use leftover Quorn Turkey Roast cut up)

Sauté Tenders lightly in olive oil. Heat water, add soup base, stirring gently. Add vegetables, noodles (consider breaking them into 1-2 inch pieces) and Quorn Tenders.



Basil, Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwich
INGREDIENTS
1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tomatoes, sliced
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced (Soya Kaas)
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Layer the basil, tomato slices, and mozzarella cheese between the two halves of bread. Cut into four sandwiches.
In a small dish, stir together the balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. Use as a dipping sauce.

Shortcut Minestrone Soup
2 qt. (8 cups) water
2 cans (14-1/2 oz. each) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen BOCA Meatless Italian Sausage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup bow tie pasta, uncooked

Place all ingredients in a large Dutch Oven or Stockpot. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer 15 minutes or until carrots are tender, stirring occasionally.

what is the healthiest to eat?

Q. McDonalds, Hungry Jacks or KFC?

Answer
Me personally, I'd say KFC....more chicken. It all depends on what you buy at which place. If you do go to KFC, you can get the Roasted BLT Salad with fat free ranch dressing, or the Original Recipe Chicken Breast without skin or breading. Those won't cost you so much on calories, 245 at the most. Stay away from the Crispy Twister Sandwich, it's got 670 calories and 38 grams of fat. The Tripple Crunch sandwhich with potato wedges carries 890 calories and 46 grams of fat. You probably hear all the time that Mcdonalds is horrible if you're trying to eat healthy. If you absolutely have to eat there, I'd go for a regular hamburger or the Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken with Low Fat Balsamic Vinigarette. I don't know much about Hungry Jacks, but the name scares me just a bit....why not go for some Subway instead?

how to make a healthy sandwich wrap?

healthy blt sandwich recipes image

banapples3

im on a diet. my goal is to lose weight, but i also don't mind staying the same weight.
the other day i had two yummy sandwich wraps, but from the grocery store. it had the white cheese, i think a little bit of mayo, lettuce, and meat (ham)
is that healthy, or too fattening?


i figured the mayo and cheese would make it unhealthy, so is there anyone who knows how to make a healthy sandwich wrap?

Answer
I'm at work right now, so I don't have the recipe on hand, but if you go check out this month's Better Homes and Gardens they have an awesome recipe for a BLT like wrap.. it only has like 275 calories in the entire thing and its GREAT!

Can anyone suggest any easy to make, healthy food at home ?

Q. I am a university student, i eat my main meals outside. But i feel hungry sometimes at odd times, so i need some recipes and suggestions for making healthy, easy to make stuff at home.(not canned food) Some thing which takes less than 15 minutes to cook, and is healthy and tasty andwhich can be eaten on a daily basis. Something like sandwiches , baked potatos, any suggestions?

Answer
i know you said no tinned stuff, but tinned baked beans on a jacket, very quick, very healthy. grill a chop, boil some spuds and carrots. grill bacon and make a BLT, (bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich)
why has no one taught you to cook before you left home???!!!

I'm throwing a high school graduation party for my son in June. He said he likes Italian food. I thought maybe

healthy blt sandwich recipes image

LYDIA

it would be easier to serve cold foods instead of using those warmers but anything he wants I will do. Any ideas?

Answer
ANTIPASTO platters are very chic and very popular for parties.
The typical Italian antipasto consists of bread-sticks, sliced cold meats (all fresh stuff) like: spicy cappicola which is a spicy italian ham, sundried tomato and basil smoked turkey, salami, mortadella and so on, then fresh blanched, or marinated olive assortmen or, bell peppers of all colors, marinated onions, and other assorted cheeses chunked on the platter and topped with a healthy portion of pepproncini.

For a dessert that would be lovely instead of cake, you could serve a Tiramisu. That is a classic italian dessert and I'd also do as suggested, serve fresh fruits and ices with it as well. Let our guests have a little bit of an easy choice to make with that.
A platter of nice garlic crostini with fresh brushetta is a great 'help yourself ' dish for a buffet.

Party sandwiches of roasted lemon chicken with rosemary and basil mayonnaise is wonderful and is great cold.
Or simply any italian meats served with a good italian bread for sandwich is great as well. Serve some sundried tomato and fresh basil mayo on the side for use. Here's a recipe.

Sundried tomato and basil Aioli (mayo)

3 cups good mayo, not salad dressing
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup oil packed sundried tomatoes drained
Pulse in food processor until well chopped and blended then refrigerate till needed. Make make a day or two ahead.

You could also put our a BLT Dip with a little fresh italian herbs added and a big vase ( I use vases when catering a lot for breadsticks. It's very pretty and is very handy on a buffet table)

BLT Dip

Makes 24 (2-tablespoon) servings.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
1 pound bacon, cooked, crumbled
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour creamr
1 tsp dry italian seasoningt
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped

Mix all ingredients until well blended.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with crackers or toasted bread slices cut into triangles or bread soft or crispy bread sticks. Easily doubles or triples and is very good.
Here is a good pasta salad that you can use, and can omit the chicken, or leave it in if you like. It multiplies easily and can be made the day before and its even better the day you need it.

Artichoke Pasta Salad

2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups boiling water
4 to 6 boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 cup water
8 oz. vermicelli
1 can artichoke hearts, quartered (14 oz)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Herb or Italian Salad dressing (store bought or homemade) I like to make my own, and you can use a mix like Good seasons. It's great. If you have a little extra fresh basil chop fine and add to the salad as well. Gives it a great kick.

Dissolve bouillon cubes in 2 cups boiling water. Add chicken and onions. Cover chicken with additional water. Simmer chicken and onion until done. Remove chicken, set aside and allow to cool. When chicken has cooled, chop coarsely. Strain broth and set aside. Break vermicelli into 2" pieces. Pour reserved broth in pot. Add enough water to cook the vermicelli according to package directions. Drain vermicelli thoroughly. combine vermicelli, chicken and salad dressing of your choice. Add artichoke hearts, and toss. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, add tomatoes and serve. Serves 6 to 8



TIRAMISU'.

Here's the recipe:

3/4 cup powdered sugar
3 cups whipping cream
1 carton (17 oz.) mascarpone cheese
1 tablespoon real vanilla
pinch of salt
1 1/2 pkg. imported lady fingers
1/3 cup cold strong coffee
1/3 cup white rum, or your choice of brandy or amaretto
powdered chocolate, for sprinkling
In a large bowl, lightly beat the mascarpone to smooth it out. Add the
powdered sugar, cream, vanilla, and salt and using an electric beater,
beat this mixture until it is smooth and thickened like fluffy cream.
Using a 9 by 13 inch pan, or our medium glass oval baking dish, line the
bottom with ladyfingers, flat side down. Combine the cold, strong coffee
(use 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder to 1/3 cup of cold water) and
the rum in a cup. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush half of the
coffee/rum mixture over the ladyfingers. Cover with half of the mascarpone
mixture. Sprinkle liberally with powdered chocolate. Add another layer of
ladyfingers, and repeat as above. Sprinkle liberally with the chocolate on
the top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 24
hours. This is important, as it blends the flavors and the ladyfingers
soak up the liquid. A perfect tiramisu should slice easily, but be a
little soft and perhaps even a little runny when served, rather than
holding its shape perfectly.

Good luck sweetie.

Original Question

Quick and Easy Vegetarian Meals for a University Student?

Q. I recently became a vegetarian and have been running out of ideas for meals. I have been eating a lot of salads, pastas, bread, and fruit because they're quick to make. Does anyone have any good ideas/recipes that are quick and fairly healthy?

A. 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.

Veat 'Salmon' (pan fry in olive oil, garlic powder and capers or lemon juice) serve with rice and a salad.

Hummus, pita bread and a salad.

Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avacado.

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 Itailan 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 portobello 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.

Easy Corn Chowder Soup – 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 – Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or tostada – add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avacado to the top.

Quorn turkey roast, with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Use leftovers on for a 'turkey' sandwich or in soup -
Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup

6 cups of pure water
¾ cup Vegetarian Chicken Soup Base
6 organic celery stalks, chopped
1 ½ cups sweet onion
6 carrots, chopped finely
1 package organic noodles (rice, corn or barley)
1 package of Quorn Tenders (or use leftover Quorn Turkey Roast cut up)

Sauté Tenders lightly in olive oil. Heat water, add soup base, stirring gently. Add vegetables, noodles (consider breaking them into 1-2 inch pieces) and Quorn Tenders.

Basil, Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwich
INGREDIENTS
1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tomatoes, sliced
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced (Soya Kaas)
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Layer the basil, tomato slices, and mozzarella cheese between the two halves of bread. Cut into four sandwiches.
In a small dish, stir together the balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. Use as a dipping sauce.
