2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook about 7 or 8 minutes. Drain the pasta.
3. Slowly add in the olive oil, hot milk, Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour the macaroni into a casserole dish. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top and then sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes.What's your fave recipe? I hope to find relatively healthy, tasty, easy to make recipes. Care to share yours?
This is my signature dish, I've shared it before in Yahoo Answers:
Pasta Carbonara.
Bacon, chopped onions and garlic, parmesan cheese, noodles and heavy cream mixed with milk (or half and half)
Cook the chopped bacon, sautee the onions and garlic, boil the noodles. Add noodles and cream and parmesan cheese to the pan, salt and pepper to taste. (Go easy on the salt, sometimes the bacon is salty enough.)
when the sauce thickens and bubbles, take the pan off the stove top, add an raw egg, stir and serve immediately ( don't worry about the egg being raw, the hot noodles will cook the egg sufficiently).
Simple and delish, maybe not so healthy though with the bacon and all...What's your fave recipe? I hope to find relatively healthy, tasty, easy to make recipes. Care to share yours?
HONEY GRILLED PORK CHOPS
8-10 extra thin sliced pork chops
2 cups honey (use more if needed)
soy sauce
These chops may be grilled or baked in the oven. Grilling on the BBQ is the best.
Pour honey into a bowl. Add soy sauce, stirring until sauce is a syrupy consistency. Place chops in a bowl or cake pan and cover with 1/2 of the sauce. (Place balance of sauce in a sauce pan.)
Let the chops marinate in refrigerator for as long as you wish. They can marinate all day for a stronger flavor or they can be dipped and grilled. Either way works.
Simmer the sauce in the saucepan over low heat until thickened. Store in a glass jar in refrigerator until needed.
Place chops on grill, brushing fresh marinade onto chops as needed (use the marinade which was stored in the jar but pour it out into a bowl before brushing so as not to contaminate the remaining gravy.)
Cook until juices no longer run pink when pierced by a fork. Chops may alternatively be baked in oven.
When chops are finished, pour sauce from the jar into a gravy dish (sauce will be thin) and serve chops accompanied by sauce, as desired.
Note: Discard marinating liquid - do not use for basting or as gravy, as this liquid contains raw pork juices.

New York-Style Pizza
A slice of New York-style pizza is characterized by having a puffy, bread-like, outer crust which quickly tapers down to a very thin, crisp middle. The crust is usually dark brown and somewhat charred in appearance. No pans are used in the cooking process, rather the pizza is assembled on a pizza peel and then placed directly on the oven deck to cook.
In order to simulate the deck of a commercial pizza oven, you should purchase a pizza stone (or unglazed quarry tiles) to allow you to cook the pizza without using a pan. The hot stone draws moisture out of the crust which allows it to become crisp on the outside while remaining bread-like on the inside. Pizza stones are widely available and somewhat expensive. Better (and cheaper) are unglazed quarry tiles. Quarry tiles can be found wherever ceramic floor tiles are sold. 3/8 to 1/2-inch thick tiles will suffice. I use Daltile Red Blaze Q40 unglazed quarry tiles in my oven. I was able to purchase a whole case of quarry tiles--enough for four or five ovens--for a fraction of the price of a single store-bought pizza stone (the extra tiles are handy in case one breaks.) If you decide to go with quarry tiles, just make certain that the tiles you choose are unglazed and are made of only natural red clay (i.e., be sure that no harmful chemicals were used in the manufacturing process.) Place the stone/tiles on the lowest oven rack.
Dough Recipe
3陆 cups (16 ounces) high-gluten flour
9 ounces warm water
1 tablespoon classico olive oil
1 teaspoon instant yeast
戮 teaspoon salt
In a stand mixer (e.g., KitchenAid) fitted with the paddle attachment, mix on low speed until ingredients come together and form a scrappy dough. Add olive oil and mix for a few seconds longer until it's incorporated into the dough. Switch to the dough hook attachment and set mixer to medium speed. Allow mixer to knead the dough for a full 15 minutes at which time it should pass a windowpane test. Place dough in a large oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Place dough in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Pizza Sauce
28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes (Redpack brand preferred)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano flakes
Puree the tomatoes, garlic, and oregano in a blender. Pour into a saucepan and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes (do not boil).
When ready to make pizza, remove dough from refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature. Preheat your oven (with pizza stone) to 550掳F one hour prior to making pizza.
Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface. Press the dough into a flat, round disc. Use your fingers or the palm of your hand to press the dough out thin, leaving an outside raised edge. Place the dough over your fists and begin stretching it into a large circle. Place the dough on a pizza peel which was been dusted with flour, cornmeal, or semolina flour. Add your sauce, toppings, and cheese (perform this step rather quickly so that the dough will not have time to stick to the peel). Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is dark brown and somewhat charred. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving pan and slice.
TIP: A pizza peel is a bit tricky to use at first, but you'll soon get the hang of it! First, it is important to have a good dusting of cornmeal on the peel which keeps the dough from sticking and greatly helps the pizza in sliding off. Before you attempt to transfer the pizza into the oven, hold the peel level and in front of you. Quickly jerk the peel back and forth a few times to loosen the pizza; you'll see the pizza start to slide around a bit. Once it is loose and you are confident that it is not sticking to the peel, place the peel at the very back of the oven, hold the handle at an upward angle, and make a series of short, quick backwards jerks letting the pizza slide off and onto the pizza stone. Some people forget to loosen the pizza and, even worse, try to make one huge backwards jerk to get the pizza off. This usually results in a huge mess!!Healthy pizza ? any one have any recipes?

New York-Style Pizza
A slice of New York-style pizza is characterized by having a puffy, bread-like, outer crust which quickly tapers down to a very thin, crisp middle. The crust is usually dark brown and somewhat charred in appearance. No pans are used in the cooking process, rather the pizza is assembled on a pizza peel and then placed directly on the oven deck to cook.
In order to simulate the deck of a commercial pizza oven, you should purchase a pizza stone (or unglazed quarry tiles) to allow you to cook the pizza without using a pan. The hot stone draws moisture out of the crust which allows it to become crisp on the outside while remaining bread-like on the inside. Pizza stones are widely available and somewhat expensive. Better (and cheaper) are unglazed quarry tiles. Quarry tiles can be found wherever ceramic floor tiles are sold. 3/8 to 1/2-inch thick tiles will suffice. I use Daltile Red Blaze Q40 unglazed quarry tiles in my oven. I was able to purchase a whole case of quarry tiles--enough for four or five ovens--for a fraction of the price of a single store-bought pizza stone (the extra tiles are handy in case one breaks.) If you decide to go with quarry tiles, just make certain that the tiles you choose are unglazed and are made of only natural red clay (i.e., be sure that no harmful chemicals were used in the manufacturing process.) Place the stone/tiles on the lowest oven rack.
Dough Recipe
3陆 cups (16 ounces) high-gluten flour
9 ounces warm water
1 tablespoon classico olive oil
1 teaspoon instant yeast
戮 teaspoon salt
In a stand mixer (e.g., KitchenAid) fitted with the paddle attachment, mix on low speed until ingredients come together and form a scrappy dough. Add olive oil and mix for a few seconds longer until it's incorporated into the dough. Switch to the dough hook attachment and set mixer to medium speed. Allow mixer to knead the dough for a full 15 minutes at which time it should pass a windowpane test. Place dough in a large oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Place dough in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Pizza Sauce
28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes (Redpack brand preferred)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano flakes
Puree the tomatoes, garlic, and oregano in a blender. Pour into a saucepan and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes (do not boil).
When ready to make pizza, remove dough from refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature. Preheat your oven (with pizza stone) to 550掳F one hour prior to making pizza.
Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface. Press the dough into a flat, round disc. Use your fingers or the palm of your hand to press the dough out thin, leaving an outside raised edge. Place the dough over your fists and begin stretching it into a large circle. Place the dough on a pizza peel which was been dusted with flour, cornmeal, or semolina flour. Add your sauce, toppings, and cheese (perform this step rather quickly so that the dough will not have time to stick to the peel). Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is dark brown and somewhat charred. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving pan and slice.
TIP: A pizza peel is a bit tricky to use at first, but you'll soon get the hang of it! First, it is important to have a good dusting of cornmeal on the peel which keeps the dough from sticking and greatly helps the pizza in sliding off. Before you attempt to transfer the pizza into the oven, hold the peel level and in front of you. Quickly jerk the peel back and forth a few times to loosen the pizza; you'll see the pizza start to slide around a bit. Once it is loose and you are confident that it is not sticking to the peel, place the peel at the very back of the oven, hold the handle at an upward angle, and make a series of short, quick backwards jerks letting the pizza slide off and onto the pizza stone. Some people forget to loosen the pizza and, even worse, try to make one huge backwards jerk to get the pizza off. This usually results in a huge mess!!Healthy pizza ? any one have any recipes?

You could always use frozen strawberries. Or even mixed berries, which make a yummy smoothie. Any kind of frozen fruit would work.

Good Healthy Salmon Recipes?
HI, so i am cooking salmon for dinner and dont really know what to do with it. My mom used to put a mayo sauce on it but i want something more healthy, also how long you cook it according to your recipe!
ThanksGood Healthy Salmon Recipes?
the thing about timing is more to do with practice, as cooking the fish right depends on how big it is, is it on/off the bone, whole etc.
You can cook it in a french style - en papillot. A few teaspoons Olive oil, fresh sprigs of dill and some lemon slices go on top of the piece if fish - and the whole thing is wrapped up in tin foil. a rectangle that is pulled up over the fish and crimped to make an air tight parcel with an air space will do the job. dont forget to season the fish with salt and pepper before wrapping. the juices in the foil can be used to add flavor by pouring over just before serving.
Place into a moderate to hot oven and bake til cooked - it will come out nice and moist, with a background flavor of the dill and lemon on the fish. You can serve with some rice cooked in fish or chicken stock, and perhaps suitable veg like spinach.
you could also mix some pesto with fresh breadcrumbs, a little lemon juice and enough olive oil to make a paste that holds together. spread evenly on the top of the fish (ideally a piece with no bone) and bake in a hot oven for 8-10 minutes. again, timing will vary dependent on the size of the fish. The pesto crust helps keep in moisture, ads a nice flavor, and crunchy topping.
Hope this helps!

When it comes to salmon, simple is best. Follow this recipe and you will have perfect, moist, delicious salmon everytime!
Rinse your salmon filet in cold water and pat dry. Lay it skin side down on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Drizzle generously with olive oil - extra virgin is best.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slice one half a lemon into thin slices and distribute them over the fish. Slice up some onion into thin rings and throw these on top of the lemon. Squeeze the other half of the lemon over the whole mess.
Now, place another piece of foil over all and seal up the edges. Flip the whole package over so that the fish will cook skin side up.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 min. Check it at 20 min - you don't want to over cook it! The fish should flake easily and may still be a bit rosy in the center. It should be just barely done. Exact cooking times vary depending upon your oven and how big your piece of fish is. Take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 10 min before serving.
Yum!
My mom used to marinade it in zesty Italian salad dressing and cook it up that way (I'm pretty sure she baked it, but it's been a long time since I've seen her make it, so I'm not really sure anymore)... Actually, that's the only way I'll eat salmon, is when Mom makes it that way... It's great with rice and veggies!!!
Not sure how long to cook it though...
Put some white wine, capers, olive oil, a couple slices of lemon, and rosemary with salmon seasoned with salt and pepper in a foil packet (just loosely wrap foil around the salmon and mixture and tightly seal) then grilling in on the BBQ until done. It is delicious and so moist!

Sorry no picture as this is my own.... I've included the full recipe, with both Italian and Indian versions. You can make it entirely dairy-free if you want to skip the yoghurt.
Ridiculously Hearty Everything-in Italian Tomato Soup
Serves at least 4, I reckon
Ingredients
2 onions, diced
Several cloves garlic, minced
Splash of olive oil
1 deseeded and sliced red chilli, or squeeze of bottled chilli, or 1tsp chilli powder - whatever you have!
Whatever veg you have - peppers, zucchini, eggplant, carrot, celery...
Tablespoon dried basil (essential) and sprinkles of any other Italian herbs you have, eg. oregano
2 bayleaves
Small tablespoon sugar, preferably raw/demerara/whatever the delicious big brown crystals are (this makes the tomatoes taste like fresh ones)
2 tins tomatoes, chopped or whole
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Water or stock - vegetable, chicken, beef, doesn't matter
Salt and pepper
Method
Saute the onion, garlic and chilli in olive oil over a low heat until onion is transparent. Add veggies, dried herbs and sugar and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Add tinned tomatoes and mash to break up. Cook for a few minutes until everything is nicely combined. Add as much water or stock as you want, but gradually, until it's as thick or liquid as you want. A splash of wine, red or white, doesn't hurt the flavour either. Bring to the boil, stirring, and simmer until it tastes lovely. Add salt and pepper to taste (less salt if you've used stock), and more herbs if you think it's necessary.
I usually mash it as it's cooking to break up the veggies a bit - you can also put it through the blender if you want a smooth soup, but I think it's nice when the veggies still have some texture.
This is the vegan version but sauteing the onion in butter adds good flavour (and more fat oops) too, and if you want it a bit creamier, add some milk (or cream) before bringing to boil. Could also add soy milk to the vegan version for the same effect.
Alternative flavours: Use a fair lump of butter to saute the onions. Keep the chilli and cinnamon in but take the herbs out, and instead add 1 teaspoon each cumin of ground coriander, and 1 heaped tablespoon garam masala. Add a few spoonsful of yoghurt before bringing to the boil - I used to call this my Butter Chicken Soup because I based it on a fab butter chicken recipe I had, but it's really just sort of curry flavoured, not butter chickeny. Is good though. If you鈥檙e doing it this way, do chuck it through the blender, I think the flavours work better in a smooth soup.
Serve with crusty bread (and salad in summer!) for a very filling, delicious and cheap meal.
1 can whole peeled tomatoes
1 finely chopped onion, as desired
2 cloves garlic, as desired
1 teaspoon of each-basil, thyme, sage, oregano-fresh is best, but if you don麓t have then use dried spices
A tablespoon finely chopped ginger if available
Teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable or chicken bullion
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup water
Mix all in blender and heat on stove. Let simmer for 10 minutes, and make horn noodles to add after simmering is through-here are the big noodles, but this recipe tastes best with small noodles.

Sorry no picture as this is my own.... I've included the full recipe, with both Italian and Indian versions. You can make it entirely dairy-free if you want to skip the yoghurt.
Ridiculously Hearty Everything-in Italian Tomato Soup
Serves at least 4, I reckon
Ingredients
2 onions, diced
Several cloves garlic, minced
Splash of olive oil
1 deseeded and sliced red chilli, or squeeze of bottled chilli, or 1tsp chilli powder - whatever you have!
Whatever veg you have - peppers, zucchini, eggplant, carrot, celery...
Tablespoon dried basil (essential) and sprinkles of any other Italian herbs you have, eg. oregano
2 bayleaves
Small tablespoon sugar, preferably raw/demerara/whatever the delicious big brown crystals are (this makes the tomatoes taste like fresh ones)
2 tins tomatoes, chopped or whole
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Water or stock - vegetable, chicken, beef, doesn't matter
Salt and pepper
Method
Saute the onion, garlic and chilli in olive oil over a low heat until onion is transparent. Add veggies, dried herbs and sugar and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Add tinned tomatoes and mash to break up. Cook for a few minutes until everything is nicely combined. Add as much water or stock as you want, but gradually, until it's as thick or liquid as you want. A splash of wine, red or white, doesn't hurt the flavour either. Bring to the boil, stirring, and simmer until it tastes lovely. Add salt and pepper to taste (less salt if you've used stock), and more herbs if you think it's necessary.
I usually mash it as it's cooking to break up the veggies a bit - you can also put it through the blender if you want a smooth soup, but I think it's nice when the veggies still have some texture.
This is the vegan version but sauteing the onion in butter adds good flavour (and more fat oops) too, and if you want it a bit creamier, add some milk (or cream) before bringing to boil. Could also add soy milk to the vegan version for the same effect.
Alternative flavours: Use a fair lump of butter to saute the onions. Keep the chilli and cinnamon in but take the herbs out, and instead add 1 teaspoon each cumin of ground coriander, and 1 heaped tablespoon garam masala. Add a few spoonsful of yoghurt before bringing to the boil - I used to call this my Butter Chicken Soup because I based it on a fab butter chicken recipe I had, but it's really just sort of curry flavoured, not butter chickeny. Is good though. If you鈥檙e doing it this way, do chuck it through the blender, I think the flavours work better in a smooth soup.
Serve with crusty bread (and salad in summer!) for a very filling, delicious and cheap meal.
1 can whole peeled tomatoes
1 finely chopped onion, as desired
2 cloves garlic, as desired
1 teaspoon of each-basil, thyme, sage, oregano-fresh is best, but if you don麓t have then use dried spices
A tablespoon finely chopped ginger if available
Teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable or chicken bullion
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup water
Mix all in blender and heat on stove. Let simmer for 10 minutes, and make horn noodles to add after simmering is through-here are the big noodles, but this recipe tastes best with small noodles.

I would tell you to make frozen chocolate banana, but that's not very healthy. My best advice for you is just make a fruit salad top it off with a little bit of brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
I put ';old'; bananas in the freezer and then use them later to make banana bread. You can also peel them and freeze them in baggies. They're good to eat frozen (taste like ice cream) or dip them into chocolate syrup and eat frozen.....

Me being a bypass patient just and beleive i learned alot of great recipes!!!! My partner and i grill everything we never
ever fry any meats!!! we even grilled fruit!!! try this recipe it is my own creation and our friends just love it!!!
1 package of fat free cream cheese,a bunch of scallions(green onions), real crab meat,(or the fake crab meat),and fresh baby spinach!! And depending on the size of the family
you need portabella mushroom caps (i find the best at walmart)Now take you'r scallions,crab meat,cream cheese and the baby spinach and chop it all together( I use my use my magic bullet to chop it all together) I guess you can use a food prosceor if you have one!!! any ways mix all that together! Now take you'r mushrooms and grill them! starting with the hole of the shroom down first basting with a touch of garlic butter! Flip over the shroom and proceed to stuff the hole with you'r cream cheese mixture. Now just it finish cooking and serve! It is the best!!! I serve mine on a bed of crisp lettuce and what ever sides everyone wants but i just have the shroom on my bed of lettuce!!! We even do speical skewer meals on the grill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Favorite healthy recipe?
Here is my newest one.
Shrimp Pasta with Artichokes
2 tsp Olive oil
3 cloves Garlic, sliced or minced
1 small Onion, diced
1 can quartered Artichoke Hearts, drained
1 small jar Pimento , sliced or diced
1 can low-sodium Chicken broth
1 can diced Tomato
1 tsp dried Oregano
Salt and pepper
Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil over medium high heat until the onion begins to soften. Add the artichoke, pimento, chicken broth, the juice and 1/3 of the solid tomatoes, the oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add cleaned shrimp and simmer until they are opaque. Add the remaining tomato solids, correct seasoning and serve over freshly cooked pasta. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if you have them handy.
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth , omit the shrimp and serve with parmesan cheese.
if you have a sweet tooth these are a really good snack:
Gummy Worms
3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 packages sugar-free jello, any flavors
1 cup boiling water
1 package Kool-Aid, any flavor (optional)
Combine all ingredients until dissolved.
Pour into an 8x8 pan, lightly sprayed.
Refrigerate until firm.
Cut into';worm-like'; strips.
these only take about 15 minutes to set and the best part is if the whole batch is only 100 calories!!
So you won't feel bad when you eat the whole batch.
Mine would be kung pao flat belly chicken, here is the the link to the recipe from Prevention Magazine:

Healthy Eggplant recipes?
My mom and I are moving out of my grandparents house after both of us going to college. For the first meal after we move in, I want to make her an Eggplant dish.
We dont have a grill right now as a side note, but she has always wanted to try an eggplant so I want to make her something with that as a focus.
However I have never had it so for anyone who has a personal favorite please share with me!Healthy Eggplant recipes?
Baingan ka bharta (p.s. this dish has several different spellings) this is my all time favorite dish...where the eggplant does NOT taste like eggplant...it tastes very savory and amazing
Ingredients
* 1 eggplant (should be big %26amp; fat)
* 5-6 big onions, finely chopped (I usually only use 3-4 actually)
* 7-8 green chilies
* 2 tablespoons fine cut fresh ginger
* 5-6 big tomatoes, finely chopped (can use canned)
* 1 1/2 teaspoons red chili powder
* 2 teaspoons dhaniya powder (coriander)
* salt
* 2-3 tablespoons oil
* 1 teaspoon jeera powder a.k.a cumin seeds for saute
* coriander leaves, coarsly chopped (to garnish)
* 1 teaspoon garam masala powder (or just blend enough indian spices to make 1 tsp. such as more corriander, cumin, red pepper, etc.)
* 1 pinch hing (Asafoetida) %26lt;%26lt; usually leave that one out
Directions
Set oven to broil on high. Grease the Egg Plant with some oil (I usually don't to be healthier), poke 2 or three holes (so it doesn't explode)and put it in the oven. Keep checking it till the outer skin starts cracking and can be peeled off easily. You want the skin to burn a little so the eggplant has a smokey flavor.
Allow the eggplant to cool a little. Peel the outer skin of the eggplant under cold water.
When the skin is removed, mash the eggplant well so that it has an even consistency, you can keep seeds or remove them based on your preference.
Put some oil in a pan (or Pam). When hot, put hing (Asafoetida)and Jeera (cumin seeds)in. After a minute or so, when the cumin seeds begin to turn darker and give off aroma, add the finely chopped onions (very very finely...or even use your blender to make an almost-puree).
When the onions are light golden brown, add the finely cut green chillies and ginger to it.
Heat the mixture for 2-3 minutes. Then add tomatoes and stir until this masala is pulpy and seperates from the oil.
Add all the masalas and add the eggplant to it. Stir it well and crush the eggplant as much as possible.
Heat and stir it until the egg plant is well blended into the onion and tomato paste mixture.
The more you saut茅 it, the more enhanced the flavor becomes.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with Parathas, Roti, or my personal favorite...Naan (all Indian flat breads).
oh yes and I know this seems like a lot of work....but I promise the most intense flavors you will ever have. This dish actually was my first inspiration to become a cook

Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers
Instead of batter-dipped, deep-fried nuggets, we coat chicken tenders in a seasoned almond and whole-wheat flour crust and then oven-fry them to perfection. With half the fat of standard breaded chicken tenders, you can enjoy to your (healthy) heart's content
Ingredients
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large egg whites
1 pound chicken tenders
1.Preheat oven to 475掳F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.
2.Place almonds, flour, paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper in a food processor; process until the almonds are finely chopped and the paprika is mixed throughout, about 1 minute. With the motor running, drizzle in oil; process until combined. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
3.Whisk egg whites in a second shallow dish. Add chicken tenders and turn to coat. Transfer each tender to the almond mixture; turn to coat evenly. (Discard any remaining egg white and almond mixture.) Place the tenders on the prepared rack and coat with cooking spray; turn and spray the other side.

Oven fried chicken
makes 8 servings of 6oz each and 196 calories
Ingredients
3 lbs chicken (breasts or tenders)
2 slices whole/multi-grain bread (2 oz)
1 teaspoon each of:
Salt
Ground Thyme
Ground Oregano
Ground Rosemary
Celery Seed
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Black Pepper
Directions
Thaw chicken breasts if frozen. Preheat oven to 350F.
While oven is heating, shred bread in food processor using shredding blade (the one you'd use for cheese). Spread out on a lipped baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes.
Let bread cool for a few minutes and toss in a zipper bag with spices. Toss chicken a few pieces at a time in the zipped bag and arrange on the baking sheet you used earlier. You may want to use some cooking spray on your pan. Discard remaining breading as it's been in contact with raw chicken. (There's probably enough breading to make another 3 lbs of chicken, so this works well for feeding a crowd.) Spray top of chicken with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes (until center of chicken is 160F - this may be shorter with chicken tenders).
Makes 8 servings of 6 oz each.
1 lb. skinless, boneless turkey or chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp. bottled minced garlic

2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 15 1/4-oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
1 15- to 16-oz. can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
Bottled hot pepper sauce
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese or Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers, shredded (optional)
Dairy sour cream (optional)
Snipped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
1. In a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, cook turkey or chicken, half at a time, in hot oil until brown, adding onion and garlic with the last half of the turkey. 2. Stir in the water, broth, wild rice, undrained chile peppers, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until wild rice is tender. Stir in corn and beans. Heat through. Season to taste with several dashes of bottled hot pepper sauce. 3. To serve, ladle into soup bowls. Serve with cheese and sour cream. If desired, garnish with parsley. Makes 6 to 8 servings
Here's one that I make:
Gringo Lettuce Wraps
- Ground turkey breast
- Romaine or green leaf lettuce
- chopped brown onion
- peeled garlic cloves
- taco seasoning, or cumin, chili powder, garlic salt, and pepper
- Tapatio or any kind of picante sauce of your choice
- sliced black olives
- Salsa and/or pico de gallo
season the meat with the taco seasoning, or the seasonings of your choice, season to taste
sautee the garlic and onion in a few drops of light oil, add some salt
add meat when onion starts to cook through, don't let the onion caramelize
add the Tapatio or other picante sauce of your choice, season to taste
add black olives
Once it's cooked through, use the lettuce to use as 'taco shells' and add salsa and/or pico de gallo and there you have Gringo Lettuce Wraps! *alternatively you can add non-fat sour cream if you really must!
Cheese Ravioli and marinara sauce.
Turkey Burgers.
Baked potatoes with lowfat sour cream and chives or green onion. You could also put steamed veggies like broccoli on top with lowfat cheese.
Tacos. Use corn torillas and lean ground beef, lowfat cheese, lettuce, tomato, lowfat sour cream.
Pierogies.
Soup..........it's a great filling thing to eat. Stay away from the cream based soups.......but a homemade pot of chicken noodle or split pea would be yummy.
BLT's made with turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato, and lowfat mayo.
Oven baked french fries.
These are just some ideas........good luck, I'm in the same boat as you!
Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers
Instead of batter-dipped, deep-fried nuggets, we coat chicken tenders in a seasoned almond and whole-wheat flour crust and then oven-fry them to perfection. With half the fat of standard breaded chicken tenders, you can enjoy to your (healthy) heart's content
Ingredients
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large egg whites
1 pound chicken tenders
1.Preheat oven to 475掳F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.
2.Place almonds, flour, paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper in a food processor; process until the almonds are finely chopped and the paprika is mixed throughout, about 1 minute. With the motor running, drizzle in oil; process until combined. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
3.Whisk egg whites in a second shallow dish. Add chicken tenders and turn to coat. Transfer each tender to the almond mixture; turn to coat evenly. (Discard any remaining egg white and almond mixture.) Place the tenders on the prepared rack and coat with cooking spray; turn and spray the other side.
4.Bake the chicken fingers until golden brown, crispy and no longer pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes

Healthy recipe for Banana Pie?
I want to make a fairly large banana pie for christmas for my family, but i'm very health conscious. Can someone give me the healthiest, lowest-calorie, lowest-fat recipe for a delicious banana pie? and give the nutrition facts if possible? thanks!!!!!!Healthy recipe for Banana Pie?
If you want a low carb, low cal pie, here's what I do. Use corn flake crumbs for your crust. Recipe is on box. Slice bananas over the crust. Make your vanilla pie filling using skim milk and Splenda. Top with meringue or low fat Cool Whip. You have to sacrifice some flavour but it will still be good.Healthy recipe for Banana Pie?

Is this a healthy recipe?
http://www.kraftcanada.com/EN/Recipes/Re鈥?/a>
ps: im only makin 1/2 of the recipe
also can i use egg replacer for thisIs this a healthy recipe?
Make aan ingredient change, and your fine. Don't listen to them about the Kraft cheese. They only want you to buy their stuff. Kraft is nothing more than hydrogenated crap in a package. Use real cheese and that would improve the nutrition by a landfall. The eggs aren't really all that bad, especially for a 1/2 a tray. So that would be 2 eggs. That's perfectly fine. Just swap the cheese and shread it yourself if you must. Look on the back of the package, if you can't pronounce an ingredient (lol), odds are it's got a truckload of chemicals, you don't want that. So again, swap the cheese and it's fine. Let's put it this way, It's not as healthy as organic steamed vegitables, but it's not even close to being like a tripple decker hamburger either.Is this a healthy recipe?
Yes it is only 170 calories
Sure it is- vegetable, dairy, and 170 cal per serving
This recipe is a healthy recipe but I do not think it would be as good with and egg re-placer as it would be with regular eggs.
yes but what are egg replacers use them if they have more nutrition if they hasve less stick with real eggs lol = ]
Yes
Yes
MMM.... that sounds very good and i would use the egg replacer for this one so Good Luck Cooking
sure
It's healthy to me.Its got calcium,veggies and other good things too.
Make the other half so I can eat it....lol. =)
sure, just replace 1% milk with skim, and the get part skim cheese. even if you don't replace them it's still pretty good.
looks okay except for the sodium content, but it doesn't make my mouth water for some reason. i guess it's the bread cubes. hope it turns out ok, though. let us know how it tastes

It's healthy to me.Its got calcium,veggies and other good things too.
Make the other half so I can eat it....lol. =)
sure, just replace 1% milk with skim, and the get part skim cheese. even if you don't replace them it's still pretty good.
looks okay except for the sodium content, but it doesn't make my mouth water for some reason. i guess it's the bread cubes. hope it turns out ok, though. let us know how it tastes
I need a healthy recipe using only tomatoes and lean ground beef?
im on a 7 day diet plan and one day i can only eat tomatoes and lean ground beef..I need a healthy recipe using only tomatoes and lean ground beef?
Well #1 I am not sure that this diet plan sounds very healthy if it is restricting you to specific foods but if you are determined to follow through with such a thing...
I suppose you could try and do one of two things and that would be:
1) Heat oven to 350掳F. Wash the tomatoes, cut off top and take out the pulp. Sprinkle with salt and turn upside down to drain. Brown your ground beef adding some seasonings such as oregano/basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and stuff into drained tomatoes. Place tomatoes right side up in a casserole dish and stuff with meat mixture. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes.
OR
2) Dice tomatoes, brown beef with seasonings as mentioned before or use chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dash of cayenne, salt %26amp; pepper for Mexican flair....add diced tomatoes and continue to cook til cooked through.
Anyway, doesn't sound like a very appealing (or healthy) diet, but good luck....Enjoy, hope I helped!I need a healthy recipe using only tomatoes and lean ground beef?
Fresh Tomato, Beef %26amp; Bow Tie Pasta
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1-1/2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
2 Tbsp. sliced fresh basil
3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Prep:
In a large nonstick skillet, brown ground beef and garlic over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking beef up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings.
Stir in tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
Toss beef mixture and basil with pasta. Sprinkle with cheese.
****************************************鈥?br>
One can (28 ounces) whole peeled plum tomatoes, drained and chopped, may be substituted for the fresh tomatoes.
Bow tie pasta is called farfalle.
If you can use a bit of oil (or perhaps a cooking spray), brown the beef and add the tomatoes until soft. season with your permitted seasoning and enjoy!
stuffed tomatoes are great
Uh,
1) Get off of the stupidest sounding diet ever.
2) Make some chili. Chop up and cook an onion in a couple of tablespoons of oil, add some chopped hot peppers, some salt and some cumin, add the meat, cook it while stirring frequently, then add the pureed tomatoes and let simmer for awhile.
I would suggest putting the ground beef in a fry pan, stir it and breaking it up as it cooks. Add the tomatoes into the ground beef when it is brown. Cook for another few seconds until the tomatoes are warm, and you can eat this as is. If you can use spices, I would also suggest Italian seasoning.

Are these recipes healthy?
I found one of these recipes on a healthy recipes site (sparkrecipes.com) but I was wondering if all these are healthy, then? They use the same brand of rice Kellogg, so just take a look and tell me if they are healthy, I just can't tell. And I'm on a sweets free diet right now, I don't want to ruine it by doing something and then discover it was full of calories:

as long as you do not over eat anything it can be healthy ,,,but if it has additives and fats and sugars it is not the best chose

Recipes/Ideas for Healthy, Fast Breakfast?
I am looking for fast breakfast ideas as I am tired of Kashi bars (but I do like them). I do not eat yogurt, drink only soy milk, and am not a huge fan of eggs, but I guess egg whites or egg substitute is okay. I am not crazy about cooking first thing in the morning and I have about an hour and 15 min to get out the door.
Any recipes/ideas for healthy breakfasts? Websites would be great.
Thanks!Recipes/Ideas for Healthy, Fast Breakfast?
banana on toast.Recipes/Ideas for Healthy, Fast Breakfast?
Breakfast being the first meal of the day, helps the body gain its fuel to last it for the entire day. All the more, did you know that skipping breakfast can lead to obesity? Breakfast keeps us in good shape and teenagers, who eat breakfast regularly, actually weigh less and are healthier, than those who skip it. We bring to you some 6 Quick, Healthy and Low Calorie Breakfast Ideas. To read more check http://www.medimanage.com/my-diet/articl鈥?/a>
Fruit, toast, cereal.
No prep needed, easy, healthy, vegan.
Make Oatmeal. Mix in flaxseeds and add a little honey to taste.
So satisfying.
Fresh fruit salad - very refreshing :)
There a several options, especially if you do not want to spend a lot of time.
Fruit salads - use products that are in season but banana is always a good filler. You can make a big bowl for a couple of days. Just make sure it is airtight, kept in the fridge and sprinkle the fruit with some lemon or lime juice.
Toast - you can have bread in the freezer and just take what you need. Great with honey, jam, peanutbutter, or something like cheese or meat products
Cereal - there are enough varieties out there these days that give you a good and healthy option. Spend some time in the supermarket comparing the different products. If you can, avoid the products that have lots of additional suger in them.
Muesli - instead of cereal, try this for a change. You can even use it with your soy milk if you think it is too dry on its own. Muesli comes in great varieties and if you take the ones with nuts and fruits, it gives just that bit of extra flavour
Porridge - although you are not a fan of cooking, it is relatively quick, very filling and again you can use the soy milk. It can be a nice variety especially on cold winter days :-)
Fruit shake with just ice, fruit and soy milk. I would make an egg white omelet with veggies and cheese.
bread omelet
corn flakes
fresh fruit
Wholegrain cereal such as cheerios, shredded wheat or weetabix with soy milk and topped with fresh fruit - chopped banana works well. Muesli is also a very healthy option, as it is already full of nuts and dried fruits - there are loads of different types available with different ingredients, but buy one with no added sugar or salt.
Wholewheat toast topped with peanut butter, or a less healthy topping like jam, honey or nutella.
Oatmeal made with soy milk (it's delicious) and topped with nuts, dried fruit like raisins or dates, or fresh fruit. I like oatmeal with pecans and banana with lots of cinnamon. :]
You could also try soy yoghurts - Alpro do a whole range of fruity soy yoghurts and they're yummy.
A fruit smoothie, made with soy milk, natural yoghurt (you can get soy natural yoghurt) and your favourite fruits.
Fresh fruit, or a fruit salad is a very healthy option. Try topping it with soy natural yoghurt.
Fruit juice or a glass of soy milk would be a healthy drink to have with your breakfast too.
If you ever felt like a cooked breakfast, then you could try scrambled eggs or pancakes topped with fresh fruit.
:]
Homemade granolas:
http://plusrecipes.com/PlusRecipes_Recip鈥?/a>
Very good and great for breakfast!
fresh fruits veggies mediterranean style good question
One Cup soy milk and mix and match your favorit fruits for a smoothie or oat meal, you can search yahoo for a lot of great breakfast ideas
french toast (with feta cheese or honey or fruits or jam)
to make the toast (mix some milk, sugar, an egg, vanilla essence) put the toast in the mixture then in a pan heated with a little piece of butter when golden brown flip it to the other side and that's itfacial cream

Does anyone know any healthy food recipes??
Im looking for something that will keep me healthy and tastes good.... like a salad or something but i dont just want a regular salad, maybe with something nutritous over it, but idk what. please help.Does anyone know any healthy food recipes??
build muscle. it'll take your extra fat.(fat that didn't get burn)
i don't exactly remember how.
drink lots of water, eat nuts and raisins to increase metabolism
workout.
eat healthy.
eat slowly, because it takes awhile for food to digest, so
it takes awhile to be full after eating.
eating slowly will allow you to know when you're full to eat less.
don't sit in front of the tv while eating.
pretty much pay attention only to your food when you eat
also allow your body to tell you when you're hungry, when it growls, eat.
do aerobic exercises
do 2 30min exercises then have a 20 min break you'll lose more wight than not taking breaks at all
play music that you enjoy, or music that makes you feel like dancing to you'll exercise more/longer
you can run in one place for 15 min per day or more.
or run up and downstairs. or jog/run/walk around your block.
then slowly increase the time, by 5 min per day.
and if you're gonna do sit-ups, cutches, pull=ups, etc. add 10 per day
starving will get you skinnier but at the end of it when you eat normally again your body will be saving it,
and you'll gain weight faster
like bears saving their food for the winter.
also laughing for 10-15 minutes
burns75 calories
If you get cravings in afternoon, it means you're not getting enough food in the day.
Have and extra half apple, or an extra of something healthy for breakfast or have a snack before
yur usual cravings start everyday.

to put this together.
I went through all my magazines
and look through the internet, for good sites

to put this together.
And read newspaper.
Also i'm a very slow typer.
FYI i give this to anyone trying to lose weight or build muscles and i finshed this a few days ago.Does anyone know any healthy food recipes??
Kraft makes this wonderful dressing...LIGHT asian toasted sesame. My kids and i LOVE it. We make all types of salad and add grilled chicken breast to it. It's yummy and healthy. Also, i make soups from scratch. I got myself one of those immersion mixers (hand held wand) to make homemade veggie/bean/lenti/spit pea soups. All different kinds. You can find recipes online. My favorite website is www.allrecipes.com and www.foodnetwork.com. Once i started cooking healthy, i couldn't stop!!!

Here is a delicious dessert that taste so good you won't believe it's low fat. I have made this for parties and pot lucks before.
Lemon Strawberry Trifle
1 ounce package fat-free, sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix
1 (16-ounce) angel food cake, sliced into 1-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 quart fresh strawberries sliced
12 ounces low fat, sugar-free lemon yogurt
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 carton fat-free whipped topping
3 whole strawberries for garnish
1. Combine pudding mix with milk in a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed of an electric mixer for about a minute or until well combined. Stir in yogurt and whipped topping.
2. Assemble the trifle by layering a third of the cubed angel food cake on the bottom of a deep trifle bowl, followed by a third of the sliced strawberries, and a third of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers two times, ending with a layer of pudding mix on the final layer.
3. Garnish with fresh blueberries and strawberries for a festive red, white and blue dessert. Makes 20 servings.

I use store bought angel food cake, but you can make your own. Angel food is a good cake to have if you are watching your fat intake. I have never made it myself, but this is a high-rated recipe from a website that I use all the time.
* 12 eggs
* 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup sugar
1. Separate eggs; discard yolks or refrigerate for another use. Measure egg whites, adding or removing whites as needed to equal 1-1/2 cups. Place in a mixing bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, sift confectioners' sugar and flour together three times; set aside. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on high speed. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form. Fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely before removing cake from pan.
