Feasting on raw foods : over 350 healthy no-cook recipes

Lire le reste de cet article »

are there any web sites that give the best and healthy ways to cook different food types, such as leafy vegetables, legumes, grains… etc., without losing there important components?

There is no one best way to cook things. How boring that would be! Any good cooking site can give you lots of tasty recipes. Just keep in mind that often the simplest preparation is the healthiest.

Food is to be enjoyed, so enjoy good foods in moderation.

I wanted to know how to make things healthy with some unhealthy things, is there a way to do that?

It depends on what ingredients are in there. Sometimes it even depends on how many calories are in the food/drink. For example, say you had a taco at Taco Bell and you admitted it was unhealthy, how would you change up your recipe of the taco your way? Well, for a start, you can add some tomatoes and chopped lettuce into the taco to make it yummy and healthy. I didn’t think that example made sense with the question so let me try this example. If you had a sandwich that had burger meat, mayonnaise, mustard, and pickles, you would probably notice that it’s unhealthy. Here is where the magic begins. You should probably scrape off part of the mayonnaise and mustard you have on the sandwich because less mustard and mayonnaise, the more healthy it gets, but it’s still yummy though. You should cut the sandwich in half so you can have half of how much calories there are in the whole sandwich you are eating. This is how I believe it worked for me when I was a 13 year old.

ok I need to cook so healthy food for my kids but im not a good cooker at all!
so what will ya recommend i need something fast and easy.

Part of the trick is to make things they like but in a more healthy way. For example most kids love chicken nuggets and french fries. From McDs they’re very unhealthy but if you do it at home they’re reasonably healthy and taste great. Also kids will love fruits and veggies if they just get used to eating them. I grew up in a house where they were served every day and I love them to this day.

Oven Chicken Nuggets – two options here, both really good

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 ½ cps cereal flakes (I like Product 19 best)
1 tsp Parsley
1 tsp Basil
½ tsp oregano
Salt & Pepper

1 egg
1 Tbls water

Preheat oven to 350*. Trim chicken breasts of all fat and cut into chunks. Mix egg and water in a shallow bowl. Put the cereal in a blender and grind as fine as you like. Place the crushed cereal flakes in a shallow bowl and stir in the herbs, salt and pepper to taste.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Dredge the chicken chunks in the egg mixture and then coat them in the cereal a few at a time. Place the chicken chunks on the baking sheet. Bake 20-25 min or until chicken is done through.

OR

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 ½ cps Sour Cream and Chive Potato Chips, crushed
1 cp Ranch dressing

Preheat oven to 350*. Trim chicken breasts of all fat and cut into chunks. Put Ranch dressing in a shallow bowl. Put the chips in a baggie and crush till they are small crumbs.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Dredge the chicken chunks in the dressing and then drop them in the baggie with the crumbs a few at a time. Place the coated chicken chunks on the baking sheet. Bake 20-25 min or until chicken is done through.

Oven Fries – I love fries and these are much healthier than those from your favorite fast food place but just as delicious – better than some.

2 med baking potatoes (great with yams also)
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch white sugar – helps with browning
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Salad Supreme

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, and coat well with cooking spray. Scrub potatoes well, peel or not as you like and cut into 1/2 inch thick fries. Place cut fries in a lrg bowl.

Sprinkle with the olive oil, sugar and seasonings, toss to coat all fries evenly. Spread on baking sheet in one layer.

After 20 minutes, remove from oven and turn fries with a pancake turner. This will help them brown evenly and keep them from sticking. Bake another 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender and browned. Serve immediately.

To cut the potatoes – first, cut them in half lengthwise. Then take each half and cut it vertically into strips. Lay the strips on their side and cut them vertically in half. The strips from the sides may not be wide enough to cut in half. You should have about 16 - ½” fries from a med potato, more or less.

I want to start cooking but every time I look for recipes they either need a bunch of ingredients or they seem too overwhelming. I also want to start eating a little healthier so any book with very tasty yet healthy recipes would be a plus. Please let me know of any basic, easy, and healthy cookbooks.

Cooking for Dummies is one of my faves. I also subscribe to Cook’s Country Magazine. They have a lot of helpful tips, and they describe *why* things in the recipes work so you can learn to create dishes on your own.
