lvbrdy4vr


Does anyone have any healthy seafood salad recipes?


Answer
Seafood Salad Recipe
1. Go Asian and serve a curried seafood salad. Prepare a dressing of mango chutney, lemon juice, curry powder, chopped mango and mayonnaise. Toss in cooked shrimp, crabmeat and scallops. Arrange on lettuce leaves.
2. Get together a simple seafood salad with seafood dressing. Mix it with cooked prawns and serve with tomato quarters, cucumber twists and lemon wedges.
3. You can create an exciting seafood sandwich. Toss a seafood salad with cooked seafood and salad dressing. Add celery, green onions and green pepper. Fill a sandwich loaf with seafood salad mixture.
Seafood salad dressing recipe - Blend mayonnaise, chili sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and horseradish for a basic seafood salad dressing. Toss it with chunks of lobster meat along with chopped celery and hardboiled eggs or tuna.

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.

Ideas for good & healthy snacks/lunches for kids?




Kay


I am a nanny for the Summer and need some good ideas.
Kids are 1 boy (5) and 1 girl (8).

Their mother has asked that I try to feed them healthy snacks and lunches and avoid things such as cookies and chips. I am a good cook, but I have lots of dinner recipes not snacks/lunches. Plus she doesn't want me cooking difficult meals. They like fruits and veges so that isn't a problem. She keeps her refrigerator stocked with normal things, milk, juices, grapes/cherries/apples, veges such as green beans, lettuce and cucumbers, eggs and deli lunch meats like turkey, salami and ham.

I am on a diet, and today they looked very intrigued by my lunch. I made two boiled eggs, two small roll ups with turkey, ham and cheese and a small bunch of grapes. So I am thinking of making things like that. Any ideas would be very much appreciated! :)



Answer
Here are some healthy lunch ideas :)

~ Whole wheat pita pizzas with tomato sauce, baby spinach, shredded mozzarella, sliced tomato - you can also add other veggies to the pizzas

~ Hard boiled egg, cottage cheese, toast with natural jam, fruit salad or a fruit

~ Baby spinach & cheese omelets, whole grain toast with natural jam, fruit salad or a fruit, or side salad/veggies

~ Whole wheat pita, hummus, sliced cherry tomatoes, lightly steamed broccoli, raw carrot sticks, etc.

~ Sandwiches
On whole grain bread like multigrain, ezekiel, rye, whole wheat pita, whole grain tortilla, etc.
Filling ideas:

- Chickpea wrap (with things like grated carrot, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, salad greens, salad dressing, etc.) in a whole grain tortilla
- Cheese & bean quesadillas on whole grain tortilla
- Veggie burger
- Hummus, lettuce, grated carrot, sliced cherry tomatoes in a whole wheat pita half
- Poached egg on a toasted whole grain english muffin with a slice of cheese/cream cheese, baby spinach
- Whole grain bagel with cream cheese & natural jam + hard boiled egg

~ Mac & cheese made with whole grain pasta

~ Whole grain pasta with tomato sauce, baby spinach - veggies, cheese with salad or steamed vegetables on the side.

~ Whole grain pasta salad or mixed bean salad/chickpea salad. With things like some basil pesto/salad dressing, cherry tomatoes/tomatoes, baby spinach, cheese, veggies.

~ Salad with things like cherry tomatoes/tomato, cucumber, salad dressing or olive oil/vinegar, dried cranberries, cheese like goat cheese or mozzarella, walnut crumbles or almond slithers, grated carrot, etc.
You can also add things like:
- Chickpeas or any beans
- Grilled cubes of tofu/tempeh
- Salmon or Tuna
- Sliced hard boiled eggs

Here are some snack ideas:

~ Watermelon, any melon cut into shapes with a cookie cutter for a fun snack

~ Frozen grapes or frozen banana slices

~ Veggies & hummus

~ Greek yogurt or regular yogurt

~ Fruit/berries + greek or regular yogurt or milk or non-dairy milk like almond, soy, rice or coconut milk

~ Apple slices dipped in a tbsp of nut butter, like almond butter or peanut butter

~ Trail mix: nuts, seeds, dried fruit like cherries, blueberries or cranberries, dark chocolate bits or chips

~ Whole grain crackers with cheese or hummus

~ Whole grain crackers, cheese, grapes

~ Nuts (1/4 cup), seeds

~ Pita chips with hummus + veggies

~ Healthy cereal (such as Kashi or Nature's Path Organic; high fiber not to high in sugar)

~ Healthy cereal + milk or non-dairy milk or yogurt, you can also add in berries/fruit

~ Small whole grain tortilla with a tbsp of almond or peanut butter & a tbsp of natural jam or sliced banana

~ Small whole wheat pita with hummus, veggies

~ Plain greek yogurt with berries/fruit - drizzle of honey or natural jam for sweetness

~ Kashi granola bar, Kind fruit & nut bar, Lara bar, Nature's Path Organic kids bars

~ Whole grain waffle with toppings like cream cheese, natural jam, honey, berries/fruit, agave nectar, nonfat yogurt, etc

~ Cottage cheese + fruit/berries

~ Fruit salad; try different combinations like:
- Strawberries, kiwi
- Watermelon, grapes, strawberries
- Banana, mango, pineapple
- Watermelon, honey dew melon, pineapple
- Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries
- Apple or pear, strawberries

~ Homemade smoothie: using fruit/berries of your choice with skim milk or non-dairy milk with nonfat yogurt, you can also add 1 or 2 tbsp ground flax seed.

~ Apple, dried apricots

Cheap Healthy Salads Recipes?




Tarazha


I'm looking for healthy salad recipes that I can make at home on a strict budget of 50 dollars for the whole month to cover 1-2 out of 3 meals a day. The reason is I'm trying to lose weight and my goal is to prepare something healthy for at least two of my daily meals since dinner is usually cooked for the house by someone else. Salads have caught my attention just because I really like salads and my diet currently has few fruits and veggies in it so I'm killing two birds with one stone there. Anyone have some salad recipes that can cover lunch for a week that incorporate chicken (i hate chicken breasts it's so dry) and some kind of pasta for around 300-350 calories a serving? I'm not a picky eater but I'm also not a chef. If the salads voluminous enough I wouldn't mind swapping out snacks for salads and eating a lighter lunch. If it helps I'll lay out the regime the nutritionist gave me.

Breakfast: 300-500 calories
Snack: 100 calories
Lunch: 300-500 calories
Snack: 100 calories
Dinner: 400-500 calories

The recommended amount of calories consumed was less than 2000 calories with regular walking exercises. I'm morbidly obese trying to get healthy so obviously I'm not going to actually consume 2000 calories a day. I've looked uo all the tips there can be found on stretching a meal I don't need more tips I'm asking for salad recipes to try.



Answer
Hi Tarazha,
I used to make fairly cheap salads for lunchâa wedge of cabbage, some carrot, celery and cucumber sticks, sliced yellow paprika and red cherry radish, a few cherry tomatoes, 3-4 slices of rolled supermarket ham, and 6-8 half-inch cubes of cheese, usually natural, sharp cheddar. For dressing? A pinch of salt and a dash of pepper! VERY occasionally, my wife would put a teensy tub (about one ounce) of miso + mayo + soy or Worcestershire sauce, for dipping the vegetable sticks and sometimes I'd throw a whole, or half a boiled egg into the lunch-box. I could eat this 3-4 days running, but would want a ham & cheese sandwich or a burger at least once per week

I've been eating only fresh fruits for breakfast for the past 18 months, and lost 28lbs (13 kilos) in less than a year without any change in exercise, which shocked my doctor! My previous weight was 93kg/200+lbs (borderline obese at 5'11") and my last 'target' weight was 88kg, but I was a smidgen under 80kg at our next meeting. I was eating 'mostly' salads for lunch, but I could also do a small ham and *real* cheese bagel (180-190kcal) and a cup of cold Vichysoisse/corn/pumpkin soup (70-80kcal) and I could work all evening on that.

Best of luck with the weight loss. Watch out for the 'stealth calories' in salad dressings, please!

Cautionary tale linked below, but just for fun!

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

healthy egg salad sandwich recipes
 on ... Egg Salad Sandwich Easy Egg Salad Sandwich Healthy Weight Loss Recipes
healthy egg salad sandwich recipes image



Witty rema


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!



Answer
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 :)

Indian Style: This was just something I made up as I went along, but it was surprisingly successful and the bowl was scraped clean at the trivia table. From One Hot Stove.
Fancy Version: From at The New York Times.
For Sandwiches: Made with mayo, lemon juice, celery, chopped chives, lettuce and served on whole grain bread (toasted). Found at 101 Cookbooks.

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!



Answer
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 :)

What are some yummy, healthy lunches to pack for school?




-Miss E


I've brought my lunch to school every day since 7th grade and am getting tired of the everyday PB&J. Sometimes I'll have bologna or egg salad, and occasionally leftovers from last night's dinner, but what I'd really like are some good recipes so that I don't have to dread lunch every day at school.


Answer
One way to look at it is-
How can you make the same old stuff more interesting and exciting?
Think of it as redecorating your room!

You have all of these ingredients;

it's up to you to redecorate them!
(feel free to adjust to your preferences)
(and give them a cool name!!)

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Bologna and Cheese Rollups - Red Carpet Roll-Ups

4 slices bologna (or other lunch meat)
4 unwrapped cheese sticks
mustard for dipping

Lay one slice of bologna on a plate.
Top with a cheese stick. (Or green onion,pickle spear,carrot stick)
Roll the bologna around the cheese stick, jelly-roll style.

Cut into thirds.
Secure with toothpicks.

Repeat with remaining bologna slices and cheese sticks.
Serve with your favorite mustard,honey mustard or bbq as a dipping sauce.
Makes 2 servings.

Bologna Slaw Wrap Sandwiches

6 ounce pkg. bologna slices,diced (or other meat or fish-you choose)
2 cups deli coleslaw, drained
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 cup whipped salad dressing
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
6 slices American or Swiss cheese
6 (10-inch) flavored flour tortillas

In medium bowl, combine all ingredients
except for cheese and tortillas;
mix well to coat.

Line tortillas with cheese slices
and divide bologna mixture among tortillas.
Roll up tightly to enclose filling,
wrap in plastic wrap,
and chill until serving.

6 sandwiches


Chicken Roll-ups

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (again you choose the meat)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
8 flour tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup green onions, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Cut chicken breast in half lengthwise.
Season with salt
