Orange Apple Drink Or Puree For Breakfast

This is a blended mix that I enjoy and have found helps keep me from taking the students' colds.

Peel the orange colored skin from a medium sized orange, leave all the white on. Cut up in pieces and place in a blender.

Add 1 chopped apple including skin and seeds. If you do not know whether the apple was sprayed, you had better peel it. Add ½ c. grated pineapple and ½ c. powdered milk, or powdered whey. Blend until completely mixed and if too stiff to drink, spoon it out of your glass as you would sherbet; sprinkle ground nuts over the top.

Many other foods may be used, such as any of the following: yoghurt, ground seeds or nuts, unsulphured molasses, brewer's yeast, small amount of wheat germ (as it has such a raw taste), few dates, raisins or other dried fruit.

Casserole Recipes

Casserole recipes are great, because casseroles are easy to prepare and cook especially for someone who has little cooking experience.

Imagine:

Just before dinner, you whisk it out of the oven,bring it to the table,bubbling hot and golden brown on top, and serve it forth while the guests look on admiringly. That's one of the joys of casserole cooking.

Another is the infinite number of ways in which you can use left over meats; also the intriguing variety of fresh vegetables you can introduce.

Add to a casserole a big wooden bowl of tossed green salad and your meal is complete. You've done the work that morning, or even the preceding day.
You can have a glorious time inventing your own versions of the tried and proven recipes here.

Casseroles made with a basic cream sauce should not be kept overnight.

Since you will want to bring your casserole straight from the oven to the table, it should be an attractive dish of earthenware or glass. When you do top burner cooking in your casserole, it is a good idea to place an asbestos mat underneath. A covered casserole dish must have a tight-fitting lid to prevent the loss of the steam which is cooking the food inside.

So here are some casserole recipes to save your disposition, cut down on dishwashing and allow your imagination free rein.

CARROT CHEESE CASSEROLE
1 large onion, chopped ¼ tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. butter 1/3 c. grated low fat cheddar cheese
4 c. cooked sliced carrots 6 tbsp. dry bread crumbs
¼ tsp. powdered dill 2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 c. commercial sour cream 1 tbsp. mint flakes
½ tsp. salt


GOLDEN CARROT CASSEROLE
4 eggs, beaten 1 tbsp. grated onion
2½ c. grated raw carrots 1 c. whole wheat bread crumbs
2 tbsp. oil 1 c. grated Cheddar cheese
1 ½ tsp. salt 1 can mushroom soup, heated
½ tsp. pepper 1 tbsp. chopped parsley
l½ c milk

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Place in well greased casserole and set in shallow pan of hot water. Bake in 350° oven, about 30 minutes, until brown. Pour canned mushroom soup over top and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serves 6

Eat A Healthy Lunch Each Day

Dinner time should be family time, and the food should be planned and prepared so as to contribute to the happiness of all the members.

You also must take into consideration the various foods the family has eaten at other meals during the day, so a balanced diet will be the result, complete in all the important nutrients.

The main course is usually meat or other protein foods such as eggs, fish, poultry, legumes, seed or nut dishes. There should be two vegetables, one of them green or yellow, a raw vegetable, whole-grain bread, butter and a light dessert, or none at all.

A more elaborate evening meal might start with a cocktail of seafood, avocado or fruit, or a clear soup.

Lunch and dinner menus may be interchangeable, depending upon personal preference or the habits of the family.

Healthy Eating Meal Planning

Here are some tips for healthy eating meal planning:

Map out a general schedule for the entire week. Do this near the end of the week because of the market specials.

In planning your family's meals, keep in mind, age, sex, activity, and the occasion. Each member of the family should have 3 substantial meals each day, with particular emphasis upon the needs of a growing child for a high protein diet.

In considering cost, it is more economical to grow your own vegetables and fruits and, if possible, to keep chickens and a cow or a goat. Buy the basic foods first, then the extras. Herbs, seasonings, dried fruits, olives, coconut and special cheeses add variety to a meal.

These tips can make your meals easy to plan during the week.

Dukan Diet - Bread Recipe

During the consolidation phase of the Dukan diet it it nice to know that you are allowed to eat two slices of bread a day.

You will probably enjoy it more if you make it yourself, so here are a few tips for making some really tasty bread.

The whole-wheat bread you bake at home will surpass in flavor, fragrance and nutritive value any bread you can buy. The old excuse that it takes too long to bake your own bread is refuted in the recipes you will find here and your own satisfaction in knowing that you are giving your family the best bread that can be made is more than worth the little time it takes.

You will discover that it's fun to knead and shape the dough, and that it somehow satisfies the elemental desire of woman to prepare fine food for her family. True, bread-making is an art and you may have to experiment to find the exact technique suited to you. But it's worth it, just as it is to take any basic recipe and, by imagination and experiment, make it your own.

The best bread is that made with wheat you grind yourself. However, there are sources of excellent freshly stone-ground flour in most neighborhoods or from reputable mail-order and internet based firms.

It is best to heat milk gently rather than scald it, in order to promote enzymatic action and prevent the destruction of phosphatase in both the grain and the milk.

Allow the sponge or first mixture to rise slowly so that the bran may soften and more gluten may develop. For the rising, cover with a clean linen cloth.

BASIC WHOLE WHEAT BREAD RECIPE

Dissolve 2 yeast cakes or 2 pkgs. dry yeast in 1/3 c. lukewarm water. In a 4-qt. kettle bring to blood heat 2 c. milk. Add 3 tbsp. oil or other fat, 3 tbsp. honey or unsulphured molasses or a mixture of both. Stir in dissolved yeast. Add 3 c. whole wheat flour and beat well for 5 minutes.

Cover tightly and set in warm place, away from draught, until it rises to twice its bulk. Turn out on floured board, add 2 tsp. salt and knead about 10 minutes, until satiny, adding more flour if necessary. Dough should be soft and pliable but not stiff. Divide in half and shape into 2 loaves. Place in greased bread pans and put in warm place until loaves double in size.

Bake in hot oven, 400°, for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and continue baking for 40 minutes. Brush loaves with soft butter and turn out on rack to cool.

Variations
1. Wheat germ may be substituted for 1 c. flour.
2. Soy flour may be substituted for 2 c. flour.
3. Unbleached white flour may be substituted for 3 c. flour.
4. Cracked wheat may be substituted for 1 c. flour.
5. Sesame seeds may be used to cover the dough when shaping for pans.
Brush loaves with egg white so seeds will stick.
6. Raisins and nuts may be added if a sweet bread is desired.

To Eat Healthily Always Start The Day With Breakfast.

If you want to feel your best and look your best, you can't afford to go without breakfast. An ideal breakfast to send you forth feeling fine and with the ability to think clearly, is one in which the largest part of the meal is protein foods and the rest vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates.

To assure yourself enough energy to last all morning, be sure to start breakfast with fruit, fruit juice or vegetable juice, followed by whole grain cereal, eggs or meat, whole-wheat toast and milk. Sweeten the cereal with honey or fruit juice instead of sugar. Sweet rolls, coffee cake or doughnuts should be eaten rarely, if at all.

Plan Your Breakfast The Night Before

Because breakfast is usually prepared and eaten in a hurry, it is important to plan it ahead of time. The table can be set the night before, the cereal measured ready to pop into boiling water. But only stewed, canned or frozen fruits should be fixed the night before. Orange juice should never be squeezed and allowed to stand all night.
