Healthy Recepie Ideas?!
Answers: Of course, its January, and we are on a diet, and so are looking for any healthy recepie suggestions? Thanks in advance x
Sometimes eating plain salad can be boring... try to make a main course salad that will fill you up and it's healthy as well.
Here's a couple of them....
American-Italian Pasta Salad
1 (16 ounce) package fusilli pasta
1 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
2 (2 ounce) cans sliced black olives
1 cup cubed Genoa salami
3/4 cup chopped green onions
3/4 cup chopped celery

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, rinse under cold water and drain.

Work fruits and vegetables into the daily routine, aiming for the goal of at least five servings a day. Be sure you serve fruit or vegetables at every meal.
Keeping fruits and vegetables on hand and ready to eat. Other good snacks include low-fat yogurt, peanut butter and celery, or whole-grain crackers and cheese.
Serve lean meats and other good sources of protein, such as fish, eggs, beans, and nuts.
Choose whole-grain breads and cereals so kids get more fiber.
Limit fat intake by avoiding deep-fried foods and choosing healthier cooking methods, such as broiling, grilling, roasting, and steaming. Choose low-fat or nonfat dairy products.
Limit fast food and other low-nutrient snacks, such as chips and candy. But don't completely ban favorite snacks from your home. Instead, make them "once-in-a-while" foods, so kids don't feel deprived.
Limit sugary drinks, such as soda and fruit-flavored drinks. Serve water and low-fat milk instead.
Tuna Pasta Primavera Salad
6 servings 3? hours 15 min prep
2 cups cooked and chilled small shell pasta
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped seeded, peeled cucumbers
1/2 cup sliced radishes
1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
1/4 cup julienned red peppers
2 tablespoons minced green onions
7 ounces canned tuna
1 cup salad dressing, of choice
lettuce, of choice
fresh herbs
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except lettuce and herbs.
Chill several hours.
If using oil and vinegar dressing, stir salad mixture occasionally to evenly marinate ingredients.
Place lettuce leaves on each plate; spoon salad over lettuce.
Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired
Sautee up a whole bunch of veggies in olive oil, salt and pepper. Generally I use 1 small zucchini, 1 small onion, 1/2 container of sliced mushrooms, and a few cloves of diced garlic. Once they are browned slightly add 2 cans of diced tomatoes. Season this mixture with a little s & p and oregano. Not much maybe 1 tsp. each. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Yu can serve as is on pasta (I like using the Barilla Plus) or do one of the following.
The first is adding 1 qt of chicken stock, a can of white beans and a handful of small pasta for a really good soup. The second is to add some shelled devined shrimp, let simmer about 5 minutes and serve over rice. They are both really good.
Hi,
Have wholewheat toast with honey or fatfree milk and fruit slices for breakfast. You can have black tea with lime and honey.
For lunch, try a stew of potato with skin and carrots, adding long grained rice to the stew, sauteed tuna with peppers, fat free yoghurt.
For tea have some sugarless muffins or fruit slices and a vegetable juice.
For dinner have some warm milk, sauteed mushrooms and carrots with pepper sauce, roast chicken slices in brandy sauce.
I am sure you will find thousands of recipes in the Net. Just key in fat free recipes and you will find many sites that provide those.
Cheers..
