Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Prefection:





INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)


6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin


1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing





8 slices of stale wheat bread, torn


3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme


1/8 teaspoon pepper





1 1/2 cups feta cheese, crumbled


1/2 cup sour cream





1 tablespoon vegetable oil


3 cloves garlic, minced


4 cups chopped fresh spinach


1 bunch green onions, chopped


1 cup mushrooms, sliced


1 (8 ounce) jar oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped





DIRECTIONS


Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in Italian dressing, seal tightly, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.


Place the stale bread, Parmesan, thyme, and pepper into a food processor. Pulse until the bread is processed into crumbs. Seat aside.


In a large bowl, stir together the feta and sour cream. Set aside.


Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic. Then add the spinach, and cook until it wilts. Stir in green onions, cook 2 minutes. Remove spinach to a plate, and leave any liquid in the pan. Stir in mushrooms, and saute until soft. Remove mushrooms to plate with spinach. Allow to cool briefly, then combine spinach and mushrooms with feta and sour cream mixture.


Stir the sun-dried tomatoes into the mixture, and spread onto a large cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


Place chicken breasts on a cookie sheet, and place about 3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of each breast. Roll the breasts, and secure with a toothpick. Transfer chicken breasts to a baking dish, and sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over chicken breasts.


Bake, uncovered, in a preheated oven for 25 minutes.
I'm not a big fan of chicken breasts because they often turn out dry, lacking flavor, or even rubbery if warmed up in the microwave the next day. I liked the self-basting ones they used to have at Hannaford because you had to mess up really bad to make them dry no matter how you cooked them, but I haven't seen them in a while. Not sure what was in the liquid that was injected into the meat, but one of the ingredients was probably chicken broth. If you inject your chicken breasts with chicken broth, that might be an acceptable subsitute.





Pounding the breasts so they are very thin, then battering them and frying them is another tasy option. Just be careful to choose the right kind of oil.





Marinating the breasts is another option but if you marinate whole breasts, the flavor will be mostly on the outside and the inside will still be bland. Better to cut the breasts into smaller pieces before marinating them. Be careful about how long you marinate the breast pieces, because the marinade can easily take over the taste of the chicken completely, sometimes to the point where it's sickening.





Baking them covered in cream of mushroom soup is a good way to cook them thoroughly without drying them out. If you cut the breasts into chunks, there is a lesser chance of the inner-most parts drying out.





Boiling them or cooking them in a slow cooker, then shredding the meat, is a healthy way to get the main ingredient for a dish like chicken and biscuits with gravy. I boiled cheaper split chicken breasts, shredded the meat, the cooked it in gravy before spooning it over the biscuits. Everyone loved it. Another variation is to add some peas and diced carrots, sort of like chicken pot pie. Chicken and dumplings is another option.





Now that grilling season has returned, I would be tempted to cut the breasts into strips, marinate them, grill them, and use them in gyros, souvlaki, quesadillas, spiedies, and similar dishes. If you can't grill them, frying or broiling them are other options. Grilling them on skewers with chunks of pineapple are yummy, too.





You can also use small pieces of chicken breast in chili, stews, soups, jambalaya, and similar dishes.

    I like to sautee/stir fry broccoli/green beans/asparagus, sesame oil, olive oil, cashews or almonds, about a teaspoon of fresh ginger (minced), and soy sauce.





    If not, I just really like it steamed with lemon juice with maybe a tiny bit of Parmesan or garlic.
    I steam broccoli. I put about an inch of water in a large pot, set a ceramic bowl on the bottom, put the broccoli in the bowl, bring the water to a boil, and steam it covered for about 10 minutes. It comes out perfect, not to soft or too tough.

    In need for a healthy Banana Nut Bread recipe?

    I am going to make some banana nut bread soon and I am always keeping an eye out for any healthy substitutes. Any ideas? Links and opinions welcome!In need for a healthy Banana Nut Bread recipe?
    In any cake or quick bread recipe, you can replace the oil with plain applesauce in equal amounts by volume (1 cup for 1 cup). Also, ripe bananas are naturally very sweet, so you can cut the sugar by 1/4 without any real difference in taste and texture. Or, just use splenda instead. If you have a recipe you really love, this is a great alternative to trying something new.In need for a healthy Banana Nut Bread recipe?
    This is the healthies banana muffin/bread recipe I have. It can be baked as muffins or a loaf, with a loaf needing a considerably longer cooking time. You can add in up to a cup of nuts of your choice.





    3 ripe bananas, mashed


    1 tsp baking soda


    2 eggs


    2 tbsp oil


    1/2 cup brown sugar


    1 1/2 cups flour (preferably whole wheat)


    1 1/2 tsp baking soda


    1/4 tsp salt


    1 tsp vanilla


    1/2 tsp cinnamon


    Mix mashed bananas and baking soda. Beat eggs until frothy. Cream together oil and brown sugar. Add in eggs and bananas.


    Mix dry ingredients together then add to wet ingredients. Stir just to moisten.





    Fill 12 muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until tops pop back up when lightly touched.





    Each muffin has approximately 146 calories, 31 fat calories prior to the addition of nuts. You can use one egg instead of two to limit fat and cholesterol. They are a little less fluffy, but still delicious.





    Enjoy!
    This is a delicious recipe, all I can think of is to replace margarine, with low fat margarine...





    2 cups all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon salt


    2 teaspoons baking soda


    1 cup butter or margarine


    2 cups white sugar


    2 cups mashed overripe bananas


    4 eggs, beaten


    1 cup chopped walnuts





    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.


    Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter or margarine and sugar until smooth. Stir in the bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir just until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.


    Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for 2 hours or more before serving. serves 24

    Grill the burgers and use avocado instead of mayo (healthy fats).





    Or just marinate some cubed chicken meat and skewer with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and squash, brush the veggies with the marinade and grill. Serve over some rice and you're good to go.





    For Dessert grill some peaches and plums and serve with cool whip.
    If you're considering chicken, this is a really good chicken salad that's healthy.
    Add to any gift a list of the reasons why you appreciate him. Perhaps have it inscribed on a wall plague.





    Please don't get a joke card. In my 20+ years of working with fathers, it has been rare that a joke card that makes fun of his abilities is really appreciated.





    I wrote this to ';Dear Abby'; for Father's Day, March 19, 2005.





    APPRECIATION FOR JOB WELL DONE IS WHAT FATHERS WANT TO HEAR





    DEAR ABBY: Today is Father's Day, so why don't we try to do more for dear old Dad than give him the usual greeting card that promotes the idea that all dads are imbeciles, followed by a collect call to see what he thought of the card. (Father's Day is the day when the most collect calls are made.)





    We should treat our fathers the way we treat our mothers on Mother's Day and show them we appreciate them for being there. Yes, you probably tell your father all the time that you love him, but the minds of men work differently. Anyone can say ';I love you,'; but as men, knowing that we are appreciated for a job well done is what really gets us teary-eyed.





    Something else you can do -- especially you sons out there (but daughters can do it, too) -- is to make sure Dad has been to the doctor for a checkup, including depression screening. This can go a long way toward making sure he's here on Father's Day next year.





    I wasn't raised by my father, but by a stepfather. Although we did not see eye-to-eye on many things, I would not be the person I am today if it were not for him. This man, who spent years climbing on top of heavy construction equipment to prepare the ground for many of the homes, businesses, roads and highways of Southern California, now finds it difficult to get into a car. Although none of the houses or roads have his name on them, they are all testaments to his life and the lives of men like him.





    So today, let's do something extra for Dad, without him pulling out his wallet to pay for it. -- George McCasland, Overland Park, Kansas





    **************************************鈥?br>

    Remember, there's a lot of us fathers sitting in nursing homes whose children live too far away to visit. Contact an activities director about volunteering Sunday morning. Read a list out loud about why you appreciated your father.
    either would be nice as long as you grill them..if having the burgers use whole grain buns to offset the fat ...season nicely and serve with grilled veggies and either fresh fruit or an open(not fully iced) type of cake like strawberry shortcake...enjoy!

    Does anybody know how to make a homemade chicken parmasean recipe that is good and healthy?

    I love chicken parmasean, but It is fattening. HELP!!!!Does anybody know how to make a homemade chicken parmasean recipe that is good and healthy?
    Instead of deep frying or panfrying the chicken cutlets bake them.








    NGREDIENTS:


    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, tenders removed


    2 egg whites, lightly beaten


    1 cup fat-free breadcrumbs


    1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese, divided


    1 1/2 cups low-fat marinara sauce


    PREPARATION:


    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.


    Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Flatten to a 1/2-inch thickness using a rolling pin or a small, heavy skillet.





    Place egg whites in a shallow bowl, and breadcrumbs and half the Parmesan cheese on a plate.





    Dip each flattened chicken breast first in egg whites, allowing excess to drip away, then coat in the breadcrumb/cheese mixture.





    Place chicken on baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake chicken for 15-18 minutes, turning once, until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.


    While chicken is baking, heat low-fat marinara sauce in a small saucepan over a low heat.





    When chicken is cooked, transfer to four plates; spoon sauce over each chicken breast, and sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top.





    I like to sprinkly some freshly sliced basil. It gives it a little zing.

    What is a healthy way to cook squash? Blackberry recipe?

    I have yellow squash and I also have the round spaceship looking squash.What are some heathy ways to cook it? I know steaming and baking. What seasonings and stuff can I put on it to make it taste good while keeping it lowfat and healthy? I also have a lot of blackberrys. What is a healthy way to fix those? Thanks for any answers.What is a healthy way to cook squash? Blackberry recipe?
    I really like banana squash. It is hard to peel if you boil it, but you can just remove the seeds and put in the oven and bake. After it's cooked, it's easy to remove the pulp from the skin. I like to put it in a food processor with a little butter, orange juice, and brown sugar. Yes, it looks like baby food, but don't judge until you've tasted it.





    Danish (or acorn, same thing) is the easiest. Cut through the middle from stem end to tip end. remove the seeds from each half, add a little butter and salt, and bake. (350 F for an hour) Serve one half to each person. They can spoon out the pulp, and eat.





    I can't help you with blackberries. I visualize a jam or pancake syrup, but I have no experience making anything like that. Try a Google. Wish I could help more on this one.What is a healthy way to cook squash? Blackberry recipe?
    squash answer - depends on seasonings for what you are making it with. Yellow is good cut up smaller and used in a stir fry so whatever you are seasoning your stirfry with. Also great in pastas. The acorn squash is the other and it tastes good with a little salt. Simple. Cut in half and bake.





    Blackberries, I would say allrecipes.com and get some low fat recipes.





    Good luck and squash is the BEST. Butternut is the best ever with a little brown sugar AND salt. Sounds weird but it's not.
    I love grilling yellow squash (and zucchini) just sprayed with I Can't Believe It's Not Buttery spray (no fat) and sprinkled with Cavender's Greek seasoning. Just cut in halves or medallions and season the cut sides. They only take a few minutes on the grill, and they are also good added to kebabs. Don't know about 'spaceship' squash...





    My favorite blackberry dish is cobbler, but that would not be healthy. Fresh berries on yogurt is a favorite of mine.
    Slice the squash or zuccini, put it in a saute pan with a healthy amount of balsamic vinagrette dressing. Saute till they start to change color and get soft.





    Healthier way: Use low fat balsamic.





    PS anyway you cook squash, requires oil so it doesn't dry out.





    This was a huge hit at a party I went to, and my friend is a high end cook at a private gold club. They are both sitting here. The cook also suggests small pieces of garlic shalots while cooking with the balsamic.





    I want some when you are done. LOL
    Cook there squash with a little onion and add a little butter spray when you eat it.


    Blackberries are great fresh with a little cream or put in muffins. Since you want to keep it healthy, put them in bran muffins or use whole wheat flour. Use applesauce instead of oil to the batter.
    Yellow Squash Casserole





    1 3/4 pounds crookneck yellow squash or other yellow summer squash


    1/4 pound zucchini or additional yellow summer squash


    1/2 cup coarse-chopped carrots


    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter


    1 large onion, preferably yellow, chopped


    1 plump garlic clove, minced


    1 1/4 cups saltine or Ritz cracker crumbs


    1/2 cup grated mild to medium Cheddar cheese


    Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco


    Salt and freshly milled black pepper


    2 eggs, lightly beaten





    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a medium baking dish.


    Slice the yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise into quarters, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the yellow squash, zucchini and carrots in a saucepan, barely cover with water and salt well. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.





    Meanwhile, warm 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and cook slowly until very soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Wipe out the skillet, return it to medium-low heat, and add to it the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and cook briefly until the crumbs are golden. Scrape them onto a small plate and reserve them.





    Drain the squash mixture, mashing the vegetables just a bit. Spoon it into the mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of cracker crumbs, cheese and a good splash or two of the pepper sauce. Salt and pepper generously to taste. Stir in the eggs and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the toasted cracker crumbs over the top. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and lightly firm in the center. Serve hot.

    Fresh Blackberry Tart





    For Sweet Almond Pastry Crust:


    2 cups all purpose flour


    1/2 cup finely ground almonds


    1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar


    Pinch salt


    1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes


    5 to 6 tablespoons ice water


    bag of dried beans


    For Tart Filling:


    3 pints blackberries


    1/2 cup all-purpose flour


    Pinch salt


    1 1/2 cups granulated sugar


    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, small cubes


    Juice 3 lemons


    1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest


    1 tablespoon brown sugar








    For Crust: In large mixing bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and salt together. Rub the butter pieces into the flour mixture. Add the ice water and gently knead until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and form in flat disc about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.


    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.





    Sprinkle flour on the countertop and roll out the dough to an even thickness, round shape. Place dough round in a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fold any edges inside, forming a thicker crust. Leave the dough a bit longer than the edges of the tart pan to allow for shrinking during cooking. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper or foil. Pour in the beans, filling to the edges. Bake about 20 minutes, or until bottom begins to look cooked. Let cool. Remove the beans and foil.





    For Tart: Toss the berries with the flour, salt, sugar, butter, and lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir in the brown sugar. Place the fruit in a saute pan over medium heat and cook just until a sauce is formed. Place the fruit in the baked crust and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the fruit bubbles and juice thickens.





    Remove from oven and cool for 2 hours before slicing.

    2 limes, zested


    1 large orange, zested


    1 teaspoon coarse salt


    1 teaspoon coarse black pepper


    1 teaspoon dried oregano


    Cuban sweet rolls:


    8 crusty rolls, such as Portuguese rolls, torpedo loaves or muffuletta style round rolls


    4 teaspoons sugar





    Plantains:


    1/4 cup corn oil, 4 turns of the pan


    4 black (ripe) plantains


    1 teaspoon fine salt





    Relish for sandwiches:


    6 dill pickles, chopped


    1/2 cup sweet red pepper relish


    2 scallions, chopped





    Sandwich fixins:


    1 pound shaved ham, from the deli counter


    1 pound shaved Swiss cheese, from the deli counter


    4 tablespoons butter, for toasting sandwiches





    Frozen Mojito Slushes, recipe follows








    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.


    Coat tenderloins with oil. Combine onion, garlic, citrus zest, salt, pepper and dried oregano in a pile on your cutting board. Pack this coating equally and evenly onto the tenderloins. Heat a large skillet. Add a drizzle of oil and sear tenderloin on all sides. Then place in hot oven to roast 20 to 25 minutes. Wash hands.





    Brush rolls with a little warm water and sprinkle the tops of the rolls with 1/2 teaspoon sugar each. Pile rolls on a baking sheet and place in oven with meat for 5 minutes to crust rolls and set sugar. Authentic Cuban rolls used for this sandwich are sweet. This sugar wash process gives a similar effect to store bought rolls. When rolls come out of oven, split and pile on serving plate.





    Preheat a stovetop griddle over medium high heat.





    Heat 1/4 cup corn oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Peel plantains and cut in 1/2 lengthwise, then slice each 1/2 into thirds on an angle. Arrange plantains in pan in a single layer and cook until crisp, continuously flipping for even browning. Remove from skillet to paper towel lined plate and season with fine salt.





    To assemble sandwiches: Thinly slice meat on an angle. Place ham and Swiss cheese on a serving plate, separating and fluffing up the shaved meat and cheese. Assemble sandwiches with desired fillings and place on a hot, buttered griddle. Use a heavy pan to press the sandwiches together. Toast until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side.





    Combine chopped pickles, sweet red pepper relish and scallions in a small bowl.





    Spread the relish on the tops of the rolls and pork slices, ham, and swiss cheese on the bottoms. Press the sandwiches together. Put about 1 tablespoon of butter on the hot griddle and spread to coat. Put 2 sandwiches at a time on the griddle, and top with a heavy cast-iron skillet. Toast sandwiches on the griddle, turning once, until golden, hot, and cheese is melted, 2 or 3 minutes per side.





    Serve with a few slices of plantains per person as a side dish. Frozen Mojitos Slushes make a great drink or dessert.








    Frozen Mojito Slushes:


    For every 4 slushes, you will need:


    1 pint lime sorbet or 1 can lime ade from frozen juice section


    8 shots light rum


    1/2 cup mint leaves


    1 tray ice cubes





    In a blender, combine 1/2 pint sorbet or 1/2 can of lime aid with 4 shots of rum, 1/4 cup mint leaves and 1/2 tray of ice. Pulse, then blend on high until lime-mint slush is smooth. Pour drinks into 2 large cocktail glasses using a long handled spoon and repeat with remaining ingredients.

    Instead of using white rice, try brown rice. And bread, instead of eating white bread, eat wholemeal, or better still granary with all the seeds in. Use wholewheat pasta, not durham wheat. Use sweetener instead of sugar. Eat a lot less processed foods.

    are you speaking of cookies or of the american biscuit?





    If you're speaking of the latter, get self rising flour, mix with buttermilk and light olive oil. It makes great biscuits that only have a good fat in them. If you're speaking of cookies, I don't know of a good recipe with your specs.I'm looking for a low fat, low calorie,no cholesterol, healthy biscuit recipe is there a recipe?
    Meringue cookies have no fat - very little cholesterol and comparatively few calories.





    MERINGUE COOKIES


    3 egg whites


    1/2 tsp salt


    1 tsp vanilla


    3/4 c. sugar (you might be able to substitute Splenda - but this isn't alot of sugar when you divide it among 3-4 dozen cookies)


    1/2-1 c. sugar-free Hershey's chocolate chips or chopped nuts or grated dark chocolate





    Beat egg whites, salt %26amp; vanilla until stiff peaks. Add sugar and beat to stiff peaks again. Fold in chocolate/nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto brown paper or parchment paper-covered cookie sheets. Bake at 300 for 25 min. Let cool 10 min before removing from paper
    Yes but it wouldn't be fit to eat. There's no cholesterol if there's no dairy so you could make them with oil and water. Biscuits just aren't healthy, period. Maybe you could google a recipe with rice flour.

    Really, there is no perfect recipe, just pay more attention to the nutrition facts on labels, and choose the ones with polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats, those are better for you.


    When it comes to chocolate, the darker the chocolate, the better that is for you also.
    Healthy?? who knows what healthy means any more.





    the government gurus decided we should not eat butter about 60 years ago. they insisted that the transfat junk was ';healthy'; and better for us than the good old natural butter.





    Now we find out that stuff is what is keeping all the heart disease in high order so the doctors and pharma can keep making money.





    Ok, take any recipe and change the shortening or margarine to butter and make it with the butter. It is that simple. They were all changed over tha past 60 years from butter to trans fats and it was done straight across.





    or you can go to http://www.recipezaar.com and put chocolate frosting or icing into search box and click go and get thousands of recipes for cake topping.
    um, its frosting. lol. but just get the powdered sugar recipe off your fav. powdered sugar and it should tell you what to use. I don't recommend a NON transfat shortening, cause it won't allow the butter to combine with it, but hey, i am just a pastry chef
    Another youth has been lead astray..

    i just seen a really quick chicken pot pie recipe and for one eighth of the recipe 509 CALORIES! Any ideas?Healthy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe?
    ENLIGHTENED CHICKEN POT PIE:





    Cuddle up with comfort food that's 鈥?gasp! 鈥?healthy.


    Soothe your carb-craving soul without the guilt. This chicken pot pie delivers comfort at a fraction of the salt and fat of the traditional variety.





    Makes 6 servings.


    2 cups low-sodium nonfat chicken broth


    1 cup chopped onion


    1/2 lb new potatoes, unpeeled and diced


    1/2 tsp dried thyme


    1/4 cup cornstarch


    1 cup skim milk


    1 small zucchini, diced


    1 yellow squash, diced


    1 green bellpepper, diced

Bring to a boil and cook 8 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and 1 cup skim milk and stir until smooth.

    Unfortunately, the good taste in the chicken pot pie is from the fat in it. I once made Paula Deen's recipe and it called for heavy cream and puff pastry. It was so heavy. My opinion is that you have to have that flaky crust or it just isn't chicken pot pie. I would definitely keep the crust recipe the same. For the filling, if it calls for heavy cream, use low fat milk instead. Use all white meat since it's lower in fat. If you think about it, 500 calories for a meal is pretty good. Look at what an average dinner is once everything is on your plate. It can easily go over 500 calories. Good luck on your cooking!
    I use a similar recipe but use Healthy Request reduced fat and sodium Cream of Chicken soup and 1/2 teaspoon of dried Tarragon.
    Easy Chicken Pot Pie

    PREPARATION:


    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.





    Take pie shells out of freezer, separate, lay one pie shell flat, leaving the other in the pie pan, and thaw for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, defrost frozen veggies in microwave; chop and sautee onion. Mix chicken, defrosted veggies, sauteed onion, garlic, soup and milk in large mixing bowl. Pour into pie shell; top with flattened pie shell. Pinch edges together and poke holes in top crust. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until crusts are done.

    Don't go down the ';Lo-fat'; or ';Lite'; road. Just eat whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal bread, ryvita, Kallo rice-cakes, oatcakes, wholemeal pasta,etc.) in place of the refined sort. Fill up with fruit %26amp; veg. Fats are often found in protein foods


    - that's ok, just eat these in smaller amounts - you need some. Go for natural monosaturates or polyunsaturates instead of lots of saturates like meat or dairy. Experiment with different oils. Avocados are splendid. Nuts are good if not allergic, they contain a good range of vits%26amp;mins and trace elements.


    Have small amounts of really good dairy or chocolate instead of lots of cheap %26amp; nasty fake, just as a treat.


    And don't forget - Enjoy! It's important!
    I've tried out many nice recipes from this website and very happy with the results.


    Most importantly, there are all healthy recipes without compromise the taste, I have no worry about my waist line. :)

    Try triscuit snacks. Like triscuits with cottage cheese and a slice of tomato and some cilantro.





    There are lots of combos you can make with triscuits!
    Here's a great one. The recipe was originally for a healthy breakfast cookie, which was about the size of one of those larger bakery type cookies. I've made it so it makes about 5 smaller cookes (single recipe), or have tripled the recipe to get more. Even better, I triple (or quadruple) the recipe, put the mixture in a baking pan, and cut them into snack bars. This method would be ideal for your purposes.





    Oh darn! I was about to give you this great, healthy snack recipe, but then I saw that you said that low fat cookies don't count. So no, I don't get the picture. My snack, if made cookie style, IS low fat, which you're saying isn't allowed. If it's not low fat... then it's not healthy. I suppose I could give it to you anyway to make into the bar type snacks.... therefore they aren't cookies... which apparently don't count las a low-fat healthy snack.





    Oh well, I don't know if this is allowed:





    Oatmeal Snack Cookie (or healthy snack bars):





    1 cup oatmeal


    1 cup ff dry nonfat milk


    3/4 tsp baking powder


    1-1/2 tsp cinnamon


    3/4 cup no sugar added applesauce


    3 TBSP splenda


    1/4 tsp. vanilla


    1/4 cup chopped walnuts* (higher in fat but very nutrious in moderation)


    (a few tablespoons of raisins can also be added, but that's also a lot of sugar and added carbs)





    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix all ingredients together and spoon into pan, pressing evenly. Bake for 15-20 min, until golden brown on edges. That's actually the time for one large cookie, so it'll take a little longer for the bars. Let cool slightly in pan on rack, cut and finish cooling on rack. The can be wrapped individually and frozen for easy snacks, or put in a container to share.





    * The original recipe didn't call for walnuts, but I always add them. Here are the nutrition facts JUST for the walnuts:

    What are some recipes for breakfast that will full me up until 1:00 PM & are healthy & will keep me energized

    Yep, my mom swears by oatmeal :)What are some recipes for breakfast that will full me up until 1:00 PM %26amp; are healthy %26amp; will keep me energized
    take some oatmeal with milk n some bread with butter plus 1 fresh apple r good enough 4 ur breakfast.What are some recipes for breakfast that will full me up until 1:00 PM %26amp; are healthy %26amp; will keep me energized
    Eat a breakfast burrito with egg, potato, sausage and cheese, cooked in a non-stick skillet. I can eat that and not be hungry until 3pm.
    An apple or applesauce, healthy oatmeal, or a flax seed waffle with a little syrup. They say fiber gives you energy and curbs hunger...hence an apple is usually recommended. I drink a carnation instant breakfast every morning, then have a bowl of oatmeal later at break. I'll snack on grapes too. Hope you can snack in between breakfast and lunch...they say 5 or 6 mini meals are best for a healthy metabolism.
    don't try and eat one meal to fill you up untill the next meal, bring little healthy sancks like trail mix, or carrot sticks to help tide you over, it will raise your metabolism eatting like this, and it will keep you from feeling hungary.
    Make a sandwich with some nice bread spread with jelly and cream cheese. Then dip it in a mixture of beaten eggs and a touch of cream ala French Toast. Then roll it in corn flake crumbs and fry it in butter. Just the thing to jump start your day!
    Try some oatmeal with berries or other fruit. Fiber from the oatmeal keeps you full, and the good carbs keep you energized.
