I like it.
I'll also have to mention the bit about the apple sauce to my dad. You see my dad has trouble getting my little sister to eat a salad, so the apple sauce along with some other cut up fruits might change her disposition. Do you have any other ideas on how to get a stubborn mac-n-cheese eating kid to eat healthy?
On another note, what kind of seasoning, or flavors would you add to a salad to give it an extra zing? (assuming you're not going to burry the veggies under a meat and dairy factory) There's some veggies with a strong flavor of its own.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
Depends on your dressing,but if your doing an Italian,Id put in a little bit of onion,a little bit of oregeno,and I want to stress this A LITTLE BIT of grated Parmesan cheese,and a couple of cherry tomatoes
Mix the onion,and tomatoes in,sprinkle the salad with the oregeno and parmesan,and then pour your dressing over it
Another nice cheat that almost beats even having dressing,take a can of tuna drain the bloody heck out of it,mix it with some low fat mayo(light on the mayo),and just mix your salad in to it. High on protien as well
I love rice pudding for a treat/snack that I've used during weight maintenance and weight loss.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup rice
2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg beaten
2/3 cup raisins
1 tablespoon butter (I actually use only a half table spoon but the original recipe calls for 1)
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Boil 1 1/2 cups of water and cook the rice
In another pot combine rice, 1 1/2 cup milk, sugar, and salt.
Cook until creamy stirring occasionally (this should take 15 to 20 minutes)
Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, egg, and raisins.
Cook for 2 more minutes constantly stirring.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla and butter. Mix them in well.
This is great served warm but I like it cold too.
This is a great idea. Eating healthy foods does get boring and repetitive.
I have no idea of the nutritional value of this salad, Chris, but I think it is healthy and it tastes pretty damn good.
Mango salad
2 or 3 mangos peeled and cut into pieces
tub of cherry or grape tomatoes
1 large sweet red onion cut into strip size pieces
Feta cheese, 1 cup or so broken into pieces
And I sometimes add a large cooked chicken breast, cut into pieces
(Feel like I'm forgetting something...)
Mix er up and wala.
Coming down,one caveat,Id use less butter
GREEN BEANS ALMONDINE 2 med packages French green beans
1 stick butter
2/3 cup sliced almonds (crushed under a rolling pin)
salt, to taste
1) Snap the ends of both sides of the beans, leaving a whole bean (may cut in half in the middle of the bean).2) In a large deep skillet add 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
3) Add beans and quickly steam (turning beans frequently) for approximately 4-5 mins.
4) Drain beans; remove water.
5) In the same skillet melt butter and add beans.
6) Cover the skillet and reduce heat to a simmer (turning beans occasionally).
7) Cook on a low heat for approximately 6-7 minutes. Drain off excess butter.
Add crushed almonds and toss beans. Lightly salt and serve.
Serves 8-10.
Here's a nice tasting dish if your in training looking from some starch and carbs.
You take red green peppers, cucumber, auburgine, a potato, an onion and some seeds. Chop them pretty fine, the more you cut the more you eat.
If you have a barbecue or grill, char them on the grate and then toss them in a pan with some light olive oil,

Heres a great healthy lunch... Can of tuna drained, mixed with fat free mayo. Cut up a load of vege's, i usually have lettuce, carrot, tomato and cucumber. Good source of protein and carbs for the middle of the day and is quite filling and nutritious.
