Tim's Simple Pizza Sauce
Here are the ingredients, cost (I used a mostly organic produce, so it's higher than usual) and recipe for my first homemade pizza sauce complete with photos of most of the process.. woo?
Ingredients:
2 pounds whole tomatoes
录 - 陆 of a 6 ounce can of tomato paste
some green onions (not too much)
3 - 4 cloves of garlicsome
extra virgin olive oil
some saltsome pepper
some basil
some parsley (optional)
1 陆 - 2 cups water
Cost to Make (???) For this one I don't know what some of the smaller ingredients cost. And since I used mostly organic produce, the cost would be higher than if you bought the items at your local major chain grocery store.. We'll do the cost thing for the homemade spaghetti sauce recipe that's coming soon!
The Basic Sauce Process:
1.Blanche the tomatoes.
oStart a pot of boiling water.
oCut a cross on bottom of tomatoes.
oBoil tomatoes for 20 seconds.
oImmediately place boiled tomatoes into ice water.
oPeel skin from tomatoes.
2.Cut tomatoes into quareters and remove guts and seeds.
3.Boil quatered tomatoes for 5 - 10 minutes (5 should be enough).
4.Put some olive oil into a sauce pan and add tender tomato quarters. Then mash some with a potato masher. Simmer on low heat.
5.Finely chop green onions and 3 - 4 garlic cloves.
6.Saute the chopped onions for a while, then add in the chopped garlic toward the end.
7.Add sauted onions and garlic to the simmering tomato sauce.
8.Add a cup of water and keep simmering.
9.After an hour add another 陆 to 1 cup of water, and a splash red wine if you're so inclined, and continue simmering.
10.Add the herbs (basil, parsley, oregano, whatever you're into) toward the end for the last 30 minutes of cooking or so..
Now onto photos of the process! Woo.
Here are the main ingredients.. 2+ pounds (my bunch was just a hair over 2 pounds) of whole tomatoes still on the vine (they're fresher and much better that way), some green onions, 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, 陆 a small can of tomato paste (to thicken it up), some extra virgin olive oil and some basil and maybe parsley. Some salt and pepper are a given, used to your own taste.
Note: I would normally use fresh basil and parsley, but slacked and it slipped my mind when I was roaming around the local Whole Foods store, so we're making due with the dried and jarred version.. d'oh. Alton Brown would probably say there's more flavor in the glue holding the label on than in the jar, heh.. Alton is the Man. :)
We'll need to ';blanche'; the tomatoes, so we can remove the skins. The skins are tough and don't do anything good for the sauce. The only part of the tomato we want to use is the meaty part, with no skins or seeds and insides. So we slice a cross on the bottom of each tomato to start..
Place the tomatoes, only a couple at a time, in a pot of boiling water for 20 seconds or so. This will help loosen up the skin on them.
Then toss them immediately into a bowl of cold ice water (notice the floating cubes in our bowl there, coldness). This immediately stops any cooking and keeps the insides from getting mushy..
You'll notice that you can now start peeling at the cross we cut and the skin should come off easily, woo? Like magic! Never knew peeling a tomato could so easy, eh?
Here are the peeled tomatoes.. At this point we cut them into quarters and cut out the insides, ends where the vine was, and scrape out any seeds.. Seeds also add nothing to the sauce, and can't be digested anyway..
Note: If a few seeds end up the sauce it's nothing to worry about though.. Just run the quareterd pieces under the faucet to wash most of them away.
Here are all the quartered tomato chunks.. It's all downhill from here. :)
I place the tomato chunks into the previous boiling water we used for the blanching process.. It softens them up some and makes them a little more tender. I'm not sure if this is how a real chef would do it, but it helped my cause. :)
I strained the water off the tomato chunks first. Then I put some olive oil in a sauce pan (on low) first and then added in the tender tomato chunks. After heating up a little bit I used a potato masher to crush up the tomato chunks a little more (you could also use a food processor before putting them in the pot).
Now that the tomato sauce is simmering (on low!) we chop and mince up some green onions and the 3 or 4 cloves of garlic (more or less than that to your own taste, but I dig garlic). Fresh whole garlic is also very healthy, so the more the better.. :)
Here's the chopped up green onions and garlic. You could also use a garlic press on the garlic (I often do that instead of chopping and mincing), but for this I chopped it fine with the knife.
I started some extra virgin olive oil heating on low in a pan, then added in the chopped onions. I let them simmer for a bit until some became somewhat translucent, and then added in the chopped garlic. We don't want to burn the garlic, so we add it in toward the end of the simmering.
After the onions and garlic have simmered some (but not too much!) we add them to the simmering tomato sauce.. At this point I also added in a 录 to 陆 of a small can of tomato paste to the mix. The whole can of tomato paste would be too much with such a small batch of sauce..
I let the sauce simmer for about 2 hours or so (it's up to you, but long is good and stir the stuff once in a while!). But I added in a cup of water after adding the tomato paste, then another 陆 to 1 cup of water an hour later. Don't worry about it getting watery, since simmering it uncovered evaporates most of the water. And after 2 hours I also added in a tiny splash of red wine (optional, but I always have some in the fridge and it adds a little something to the sauce).
Note: Some might add some sugar to the sauce before letting the sauce simmer. It's up to you. I've heard that a small amount of sugar can reduce the acidity of the sauce if needed, but I don't usually use any. It's up to you..
Toward the end of the simmering I finally added in some parsley and basil. The herbs don't need the life cooked out of them, and I've always heard it's best to add them in near the end of the process. I also added some salt and pepper at this point, and I didn't measure it but it was probably something like a 陆 teaspoon of salt and even less pepper..
After another 30 minutes or so with the herbs in the sauce should be done! Everything has broken down, and there are no traces of whole tomato left, it's all sauce. Woo. Turn the heat off, put a lid on it, and you can either use it immediately or refrigerate it or freeze it for later.. With the help of an old roommate and skydiving buddy I'll be learning about canning sometime soon (not sure why they call it canning when jars are used, heh), and when I do I'll be sure to take photos of the process and share it here on the site. This is some damn yummy stuff (I just tasted it since it's done!)..

When kids get involved cooking meals with you, they learn what goes into their dinner, and are more likely to eat it. I'm a Rachael Ray fan (not huge, but she has some good ideas), and she started this organization a couple of years ago that inspires kids to help in the kitchen...and her meals are all HEALTHY! They are geared towards kids' taste, so they are quick, fun, and nutritious. Check out this website...

***Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups***
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 large onion, sliced
4 slices whole wheat bread, crusts removed
4 slices deli-style roast beef, roughly chopped
2 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese, cut into strips
DIRECTIONS:
Place a large saut茅 pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon EVOO. Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook, stirring every now and then, until it is nice and caramelized, about 15 minutes; cool slightly.
While the onion is cooking, lay two slices of bread on the counter next to each other, slightly overlapping one over the other to create one big rectangular piece. Push the slices of bread together at the seam and use a rolling pin to gently flatten them.
When the onion is caramelized and slightly cooled, spread half of it across the bread. Place half of the roast beef on top of the onion and top it with half of the cheese. Carefully roll up the bread around the filling, bringing one long end over the other. Slice the roll-up into six pieces that are each 1-1 1/2-inches thick. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second roll-up and serve.

Homemade french fries are also much healthier than the processed ones bought from the grocery store. All you have to do is slice the potatoes and give them an egg wash then salt or season them. The egg wash is what will make them crispy in the oven.
Good luck!

I make a variey of quesadillas for my kids - we used cooked ground turkey, left over chicken, leftover veggies - we have even tried hot dogs. I let them help put them together - kids are much more apt to try something they make themselves. You can apply this same theory to wrap sandwiches. For either I use whole wheat tortillas, low fat cheese, etc. For the quesadillas - I just put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted. One of my son's favorites is shredded roasted chicken, cooked brocolli, and cheese. Serve with some fruit %26amp; you are set.
Try homemade tomatoe sauces, they are 100x better than store bought, and you can use them for; pastas, lasagna's, sandwiches.
Vegetables, and fruits are always good snacks.
Include him in the cooking process, so he can learn and understand how / were his dinners are coming from.
you can try things like sliced apples and peanut butter, a healthy snack. They have some very great ideas and recipes on DisneyFamily.com, and Familyfun.com, very kid friendly and mom approved! best of luck to you!!

Here's a easy recipe for Cinnamon Orange Pancakes. Pancakes are flapjacks...right.....?
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup low-fat milk
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons Wheat germ
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon orange zest or finely grated peel
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches of salt
cooking spray
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the two flours with the wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg slightly. Add milk, orange juice and orange zest and mix well.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just mixed and moistened.
Prepare a griddle or large skillet at medium-high heat with a coating of cooking spray.
Dollop batter onto hot surface in 1/4 cup amounts to make individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles begin to appear in the center of pancake. Flip and cook other side until golden brown.

I found this recipe in Anita Bean's 'Healthy Eating for Kids'.
My kids love them and I feel good about them having healthy snacks.
Cereal Bars
*175g (6oz) oats
*85g (3oz) no added sugar muesli
*150g (5oz) dried fruit mixture
*3 tbsp (45ml) honey, clear or set
*2 egg whites
*175 (6fl oz) apple juice
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 C/350 F/ Gas mark 4
2. Combine the oats, muesli and dried fruit in a bowl.
3. Warm the honey in a small saucepan until it is runny. Add to the bowl.
4. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
5. Press the mixture into a lightly oiled 18x28cm (7x11in) baking tin. Bake for 20-25minutes until golden. When cool cut into bars.
(I sometimes grind some mixed seeds in my coffee grinder and add them too. Gives them a good nutty taste and adds to the general nutritional goodness of these bars.
I cut them into smallish squares and put them into a wide-necked glass jar on the counter so the kids can help themselves.)
I hope this is useful to you. :-)
if your in the UK flapjacks are granola type bars...
There are recipes without butter...BUT
they substitute some type of oil or corn syrup instead...
so not cutting out the calories/fats really...
why not try to toast some oats and mix with some dried fruits and have as a pot of ';flapjack'; instead...
maybe just use half the butter and add some more of the syrup instead or use a low fat cooking spread...
Hope this helps a little...
This is the recipe that I use.
You could always swap the butter for margerine instead...?

Lebanese Chicken
1 whole chicken
olive oil
kosher salt
coarse ground black pepper
garlic powder (I use the McCormick’s California style with parsley)
juice of 8-10 lemons
2 tsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. minced garlic ( I use the kind in the jar)
Preheat oven to 475-500ºF.
Drizzle the chicken inside and out with olive oil. Season Chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder inside and outside on all sides. Place in a roasting pan or baking dish. If using a roasting pan, pour water or wine (red or white) in bottom of pan (if you don’t have wine, chicken broth works or just water. If using baking dish, put just enough liquid to cover bottom of dish. Cook on this high temp for about 35 minutes. You want it to be browned on the top. While chicken is cooking, mix lemon juice, paprika, and garlic.
When chicken has cooked for the first 35 minutes, drizzle lemon juice mixture inside and outside of chicken. Lower heat to 325-350ºF. Let cook another 45 minutes - 1 hour. I usually turn the chicken a couple of times and baste it with its juices. Skin should be crisp.
You can use chicken pieces of you choice instead of a whole chicken. Cooking time may vary if you do this.Healthy, interesting, weeknight chicken recipes?

4 (6-oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3/4 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Lebanese Chicken
1 whole chicken
olive oil
kosher salt
coarse ground black pepper
garlic powder (I use the McCormick’s California style with parsley)
juice of 8-10 lemons
2 tsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. minced garlic ( I use the kind in the jar)
Preheat oven to 475-500ºF.
Drizzle the chicken inside and out with olive oil. Season Chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder inside and outside on all sides. Place in a roasting pan or baking dish. If using a roasting pan, pour water or wine (red or white) in bottom of pan (if you don’t have wine, chicken broth works or just water. If using baking dish, put just enough liquid to cover bottom of dish. Cook on this high temp for about 35 minutes. You want it to be browned on the top. While chicken is cooking, mix lemon juice, paprika, and garlic.
When chicken has cooked for the first 35 minutes, drizzle lemon juice mixture inside and outside of chicken. Lower heat to 325-350ºF. Let cook another 45 minutes - 1 hour. I usually turn the chicken a couple of times and baste it with its juices. Skin should be crisp.
You can use chicken pieces of you choice instead of a whole chicken. Cooking time may vary if you do this.Healthy, interesting, weeknight chicken recipes?

Bake at 400* F for 45 minutes (uncovered) on a baking sheet sprayed with pam

grilled chicken caesar salad
I bake chicken breasts in aluminum foil at 425 for 20 minutes with little sea salt pepper and rosemary, sometimes simple is best.
Take a big piece of aluminum foil. Put chicken (I prefer boneless breasts) in it and cover with fresh salsa. Wrap the chicken and bake in an oven at 350/375 for about 30-45 minutes. Careful when you remove, because the salsa will have gotten quite liquid. BUT the flavor will have added wonders to the chicken, and it will be nice and moist. And VERY healthy.
Tandoori chicken.
Take a chicken breast, chicken thighs, skin them. You can also use Cornish hens, sprinkle with a little paprika and a little chili powder if you want, take about 1 cup of yogurt, blend with a couple of cloves of garlic and a slice of ginger if you want. Pour the yogurt over the chicken, marinate in the refrigerator for up to an hour or so, then bake in a 350 degree oven, serve with whole wheat couscous, chutney, a little lime and a salad. And you've got a delicious and healthy meal.

Jessica Seinfeld's book is great! I would recommend it, also. I also make my own breakfast cookies for my kids and they love them. Here's the recipe:
2 cups Simply Jif peanut butter (you can use any reduced fat kind, just don't use natural peanut butter...the texture won't work in this recipe)
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oats (toast them in a dry skillet for a few minutes first)
splash of vanilla
1/2 cup dried fruits of choice (my kids love dried cranberries)
Combine all ingredients and drop by spoonful onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Lightly press each cookie with a fork to slightly flatten it. Bake for 8-10 minutes on 350 F. Cool a few minutes on the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Add chocolate chips, nuts, shredded coconut, etc as desired to the batter and bake as directed. The size of the spoon you use to make the cookies will determine the number of cookies you get. I can get at least 18 decent size cookies.

Get it to room temp or cold in the fridge BEFORE adding-
1/2 c. fat free Italian dressing and 2 T, mustard
chopped green peppers, carrots, onions, celery,
1/2 a bag of raw frozen peas
Make it at least 1/2 hour before serving so that the peas defrost.
Right before serving add another 1/2c ff Italian dressing.
To make this into a full meal add a can or two of tuna or bite sized skinless chicken, an extra 1/4 - 1/2c dressing, and an extra T mustard.
(16 ounce) package cooked tri-color spiral pasta
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 (16-ounce) bottle balsamic salad dressing, low fat
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Mix together and chill 4 hours or more
That's practically an oxymoron, but here is my recipe.
I use veggie pasta spirals, fat free good season's italian dressing, diced up bell peppers, cucumbers and onions...and for a little added fat, cubed up cheez...

Combine salad dressing and mustard; add to pasta mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving.Does any one know of a healthy pasta salad recipe?
I'd try a low fat version of the Ranch dressing if you are looking for a healthy salad. Report Abuse

Baby Spinach with Lemon Dressing
Ingredients
1 bagbaby spinach
juice of one lemon ( and maybe a little zest if the lemon isn't super juicy)
3 tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil
1 pintcherry tomatoes, halved
to tastesalt
to tastefreshly ground black pepper
1 cupParmesan cheese, shaved
COMBINE lemon juice with salt and pepper. Stir in oil and mix well.
SEASON spinach and cherry tomatoes with the lemon dressing
TOP with shaved Parmesan cheese
Add a grilled chicken breast and a glass of dry white wine and VOILA! It's a great basic salad you can do a million things with.
Instead of the chicken (or with it) you can also throw in some orzo pasta, or boil up some bulgur and toss that in to make it more filling.
You can also boil up some whole wheat pasta and serve it all over the pasta (with or without the chicken breast)
You can also serve the salad in a pita pocket with some seared shrimp.
Take the salad and add some sliced smoked turkey and some shredded carrot and roll it up in a tortilla.
You can also add some chopped romaine lettuce to it and throw in some chopped walnuts for another terrific salad. Or replace the parmesan with some feta cheese for a whole another new salad. Outstanding. You can replace the lemon juice with just about any vinegar. Try some rasberry vinegar and replace the tomatoes with chopped apple and walnuts or pecans. It's awesome with grilled chicken.
Or use red wine vinegar and throw in some chickpeas and artichoke hearts.
I NEVER get sick of eating this.What is your favorite recipe that is both healthy and delicious?

Do you guys/girls have any simple, healthy, vegan meals recipes?
Ok, I'm looking for simple, healthy vegans meals to make because as it now stands I don't have any.
I haven't really cook any vegan meals, and I have been relying on frozen meals from Amy Kitchen's Boca Burgers, and other vegan/vegetarian frozen dinners.
I'm a college student, so that explains why I don't have the time to cook or the necessities I need to cook.
So, I'm really looking for easy, healthy, vegan meals to make that isn't so time consuming.
Do you guys/girls have any?Do you guys/girls have any simple, healthy, vegan meals recipes?

Japanese tofu steak with Asian greens and brown rice
60ml (录 cup) light soy sauce
40ml mirin
2 tsp sesame oil
600g firm tofu
60ml (录 cup) peanut oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 zucchini, sliced
1 red capsicum, deseeded, cut into strips
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
1/2 cup cornflour, to dust
1 tbsp sesame seeds, lightly toasted
Whisk together the soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil, set aside. Cut the tofu into 8 x 1.5cm thick steaks.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan on high. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds, add the zucchini, capsicum and asparagus and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until light golden. Remove from pan, set aside and keep warm.
Place the cornflour on a large flat plate and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dust each tofu steak in the mixture. Wipe pan clean, add remaining oil and return to high heat. Add tofu in batches and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Divide the vegetables between 4 serving plates, top with 2 tofu steaks, drizzle the tofu with the reserved sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with steamed brown rice.
Serves 4
This takes less than 1 hour to make! Hope you enjoy it! :D
Go out and get ';The Veganomicon';. It has everything.
Rice is a good, easy base for a lot of things and you can even buy it in those little bags that take 90 seconds in the nuke. If you don't want to spend 2 bucks a bag then get the boil in bag minute rice, but you'll need some kind of hot plate situation.
To the rice you can add any veggies you desire. Experiment with combinations and different spices, I discovered the magic of curry as well as the economy and sustaining properties of the spaghetti squash and the eggplant.
Veg or not you've got to be simple and creative in the dorm.
Recently I found whole grain flatbread with a spread of hummus over it topped with fresh salsa tastes great. A crazy vegan pizza and no heat required.
Check out MorningStar Farms' products. I'm a Vegetarian, so I don't know how many Vegan options they have, but I know they have a few! Dunno for sure if the following products they have a Vegan, but if they are, try:
Chik'n Strips Meal Starters--Add to a pasta dish or enjoy in a Quesadilla made with soy-cheese.
Burger Crumbles--Add to a tortilla with soy-cheese and ya got a very quick taco. Or make in a meatless goulash or lasagna.
I eat a lot of salads with beans in them. If you have a kitchen, you can make rice and beans, or rice with stir fried veggies and tofu.
If you have a blender, you can make smoothies for breakfast or lunch. I just throw some frozen fruit and some spinach (I know it sounds weird, but you can't taste it, and it's so nutritious!) in a blender, and blend well. You can experiment with different combos so you don't get bored.
I also like oatmeal with frozen fruit and nuts.
Another quick meal is bean wraps. If you have tortillas (or collard greens! I made a wrap using them today), beans, salsa, and whatever spices you like, you can have a nice meal in just a few minutes.
Also, if you like miso soup, you can get a tub of miso paste and some frozen veggies. Boil some water, toss the veggies in...once they're cooked, remove the water from the heat, and stir in some miso paste. Quick, easy, and good.
It's hard if you don't have a kitchen or a fridge, though. Good luck.
My husband %26amp; I try to do this everyday. We just go to the grocery store %26amp; get a salad from the salad bar. Today, we were in an area that had a Giant Food %26amp; they always have the freshest food. I took some spinach, kidney beans, peas, peice of pinapple, strawberry %26amp; a green mellon peice got in there but it was delicious. I took some things for protien you might not eat like mini-shrimp, immatation lobster which I think is cod fish, hard boiled egg,,,, there was just such a wide selection oh sunflower seeds, peice of broccoli...we also toast walnuts when we make a salad at home but careful they burn quickly..anyway, I always feel great after eating this...ooops, there were some Thai noodles I put in so they may have had MSG %26amp; I actually had a reaction which was my eyes were black underneath so something wasn't right but still, this is a great way to eat healthy....I would do a search for vegan quck meals...I bet you will find some great ideas...you can never get too many ideas.
no, you should look up recipes yourself, don't be so lazy.

Are you asking ';low cal?'; Or truly ';healthy??'; Low cal, you can find recipes anywhere. And while they are lower calories than regular desserts, they are not really all that healthy for you, they just contain a lower fat content. If you want healthy, I would say, do a fresh fruit and yogurt parfait. You can cut up a variety of your favorite fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces, such as cantelope, strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. Starting with a layer of fruit, add a layer of your favorite flavor of lowfat yogurt and then a thin layer of granola. Keep layering until the glass is full, with the final layer of yogurt on top, sprinkled with granola. Or skip the yogurt and just go with the fresh fruit. Another thing that is not technically healthy, but will save a lot of calories is to serve a half of cantelope with a couple scoops of vanilla ice-milk in the center. It is SO GOOD and totally refreshing. (While ice milk is healthier than ice cream, it is not technically 'health food!') Hope this helps!!

Tear cake into chunks and put in bottom of large bowl. Drizzle with all of the gelatin mixture and slightly press with back of spoon to make the cake absorb all of the gelatin. Top with sliced fruit or berries (like mixed fruits). Cover fruit with prepared pudding and top with low-fat Cool Whip topping. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
Cut an Angel Food Cake through the centre and cover the bottom half with a generous amount of low fat desert whip.
Cut fresh strawberries and put some on the topping all around the cake.

Are you asking ';low cal?'; Or truly ';healthy??'; Low cal, you can find recipes anywhere. And while they are lower calories than regular desserts, they are not really all that healthy for you, they just contain a lower fat content. If you want healthy, I would say, do a fresh fruit and yogurt parfait. You can cut up a variety of your favorite fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces, such as cantelope, strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. Starting with a layer of fruit, add a layer of your favorite flavor of lowfat yogurt and then a thin layer of granola. Keep layering until the glass is full, with the final layer of yogurt on top, sprinkled with granola. Or skip the yogurt and just go with the fresh fruit. Another thing that is not technically healthy, but will save a lot of calories is to serve a half of cantelope with a couple scoops of vanilla ice-milk in the center. It is SO GOOD and totally refreshing. (While ice milk is healthier than ice cream, it is not technically 'health food!') Hope this helps!!

Also, there is a Dieters Bible (not sure of the exact name) but it gives you all the information about ALL the different types of diets. AND a lot of good recipes.
Good Luckscars

Cost Cutting Ideas
Adapting Everyday Recipes
Here are some examples of ways of making meals healthier at no extra cost. These suggestions show you how to cut the fat down and increase the fibre in every day meals.
Making Meat Go Further
Mixing beans with mince and other meat dishes increases fibre, reduces fat and makes the meat go further, eg baked beans in shepherds pie, kidney beans in chilli, baked beans and peas in stews.
Recipes with Mince - for use in shepherds pie, lasagne, meat balls, beefburgers
1. Dry fry mince (no need to add oil or fat) over a low heat.
2. Stir continuously to prevent sticking until browned.
3. Drain off fat or allow to cool so the fat can be skimmed off.
4. Add onions, frozen vegetables, tinned tomatoes, herbs, spices, garlic.
Serve with pasta, rice, potatoes or bread.
Chilli
Remove fat as above. Add tinned beans (eg kidney beans or baked beans) and chilli powder. Serve with rice, pasta, bread or potatoes.
Recipes with Chicken
Use thighs or wings for curries and casseroles.
Stews and Casseroles
Cut all fat off meat or remove skin from chicken before cooking. Brown meat in non-stick pan (or add a little water to prevent burning). Add frozen peas, tinned baked beans or sweetcorn to make the meat go further. Serve with potato, pasta or rice.
Cooks Tip: Cook in a large saucepan on top of the stove to save on fuel bills.
Liver
Liver is cheap, nutritious and easy to cook. Try casseroling liver with sliced onions and tinned tomatoes. Serve with mashed potato.
Bacon
Trim visible fat. Dry fry. Serve with pasta, onions, cheap vegetables and tinned sweetcorn or baked beans to make a quick 2 pot meal.
Recipes Using Mashed Potato
Tuna/Corned Beef Hash
Cook and mash potato. Chop up tin of corned beef or tuna and one onion. Mix all ingredients together. Put in ovenproof dish. Cook for 20-30 minutes on gas mark 4/180潞C/350潞F until browned.
Cooks Tip: Serve with baked beans, vegetables, eg canned tomatoes or cheap vegetables (frozen/fresh).
Fish Cakes
Mash tuna or other tinned fish with mashed potato. Mould into round shapes. Grill, bake in the oven or fry using as little oil as possible.
Meals with Rice
Rice is a starchy, filling food. It can be used as the basis for meals such as risotto.
Two Pot Risotto
Boil rice in a large saucepan. In another saucepan fry off bacon, onions, mushrooms, sweetcorn and other vegetables in a little oil. Add pepper, dried herbs and a chicken stock cube. Drain rice. Mix all ingredients together.
Rice pudding - is a quick filling dish to make if you boil it in a saucepan.
Cooks Tip: Add dried fruit or tinned fruit or sliced banana to sweeten rather than sugar.
Meals with Pasta
Pasta is a starchy, filling food. Use it instead of potato or rice, eg spaghetti Bolognese, tuna, onions, canned tomatoes, lasagne, macaroni cheese and pasta shapes.
Cutting the Cost of Cooking
Use these energy saving ideas to cut down your fuel bills:
Boiling the kettle - only boil as much water as you need. Boiling a whole kettle wastes a lot of electricity.
Cooking vegetables - use as little water as possible and use boiling water from the kettle (not cold tap water). Cook more than one vegetable together in the saucepan or use a metal sieve or colander as a steamer.
Toasting bread - a toaster uses less electricity than a grill.
Use the oven to the full, eg if cooking a stew, also bake jacket potatoes and braise vegetables in water in the oven.
Pressure cooker - cheaper cuts of meat cook quickly and improve in texture. This saves on fuel bills and shopping bills.
Microwave/grill - use a microwave or grill instead of frying. This doesn't cost any more and you don't need to use oil or fat.
Cheap Filler Foods
Bread, potatoes, rice, pasta and cereals are cheap, filling and low in fat. Try to include these at every meal and use for between meal snacks.
Try to keep sweet biscuits, cakes and sweets to special occasions. When you do want something sweet try fruit buns, scones, fruit, malt loaf, low fat yoghurts or banana custard. Choose these as puddings or between meal snacks.
High fibre breakfast cereals, eg Weetabix, branflakes, muesli and semi-skimmed milk make a healthy but cheap between meal snack any time of day.
Sandwiches - make with bread, pitta bread or muffins. Try wholemeal or high fibre white bread.
Suggested fillings:
tuna and tomato sauce
tuna and tomato or onion
cheese spread and cucumber
peanut butter and cucumber or banana
grated cheese mixed with grated carrot
sliced ham, grated cheese and tomato
corned beef and pickle
meat/fish paste and tomato
Cooks Tip: Grating cheese makes a little look more - cuts down the fat and the cost.
rice with mushrooms and some virgin olive oil.
slice some carrots on vertical pieces(in length)and boil them with some water in a pan.after they become softish add half a cup of rice and stir for just a few seconds .you can use integral rice because it's healthier.then ,add three cups of hot water and let it cook.when 3/4 of the water has vapoured add the mushrooms,the amount depends on your taste only and cook it together in an open pan.then,at the end just add some seasoning,and a bit olive oil.you can add basil and origano to improve the taste.
