I would like to dip some brown rice cakes into a carob or chocolate coating. I would like to use a healthy oil and natural sugar with the carob or chocolate. Can someone help me out with a recipe? Thanks!Does anyone have a recipe for a healthy carob or chocolate coating for a rice cake?
I bet you can take a ganache recipe (1 part cream to 3 parts chocolate) and replace it with carob chips and soy milk... Experiment.Does anyone have a recipe for a healthy carob or chocolate coating for a rice cake?

Does anyone have a recipe for a healthy warm breakfast drink?
I have been having fruit smoothies for breakfast which is great becuase I can sip it throughout the morning and not get a craving for food until lunch. However now that the temperature is getting cooler I'm finding that I'm much less inclined to choose a smoothie as I'd rather start my day with soemthing warm. I've looked online but can't seem to find any warm breakfast drinks that are healthy so if you have any recipes to share I would be very greatful. Thanks!!Does anyone have a recipe for a healthy warm breakfast drink?
Haven't tried it personally, my MIL puts her oatmeal in a blender. She does that cuz she can't have coffee. Myself, use a protein powder (flavored) instead of sugar- no milk.Does anyone have a recipe for a healthy warm breakfast drink?

Does anyone have any good soup recipes..also healthy ones? thanks?
I don't use recipes, just kind of ';throw things together.'; For soup, I use Swanson broth, either vegetable or chicken, and simmer that with diced onions and diced celery. After it has developed a wonderful aroma, I add frozen peas, carrots, corn, broccoli, or whatever I have on hand in the freezer, and simmer it until everything is cooked. I sometimes also throw in some brown rice for extra body. If I have leftover meat, I cube that and toss it in the pot too. Never tastes the same twice, but it's always good! Does anyone have any good soup recipes..also healthy ones? thanks?

Any Have a Recipe for a Healthy Sauce for Steamed Broccoli?
I don't want to load tons of cheese on streamed broccoli, but I am looking for a healthy alternative.Any Have a Recipe for a Healthy Sauce for Steamed Broccoli?
I just sprinkle a little parmasan sheece and toss it and it tastes great you need no butter or anything.It isn't as fattening as the other cheeses and you use so little it really is ok if you r watching your weight.Enjoy.Any Have a Recipe for a Healthy Sauce for Steamed Broccoli?
try grating lemon rind over the broccoli before steaming, mmm
Orange Sauce -
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1 medium navel orange, thinly sliced
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and bouillon. Stir in water, orange juice and peel until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes until thickened.
Nutrional Info:
One serving equals 54 calories, trace fat (trace saturated fat), trace cholesterol, 108 mg sodium, 13 g carbohydrate, 3 g fiber, 3 g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 1 vegetable, 1/2 fruit.
Just fresh squeezed lemon juice on top goes a long way. If you want it to really be yummy, melt a tiny bit of butter and then add the lemon juice, along with seasoning like crushed red peppers, paprika, salt...whatever your preference is.
There's a Japanese dressing that uses crushed sesame seeds and a bit of soy sauce, which is delicious. You can make it by getting tahini (sesame seed paste), whisking in some water to thin it out, add a splash of lemon juice or rice vinegar, and some soy sauce.
Or you can just buy it in a bottle from a Japanese grocer (it's called goma-dressing).
