Healthy Dinner Recipes For a Healthier You

By Deborah Prosser

We know we should eat healthy. We want what is best for our family. So why don't we eat the way we are supposed to eat? Let's take a look at some of the reasons why we tend to make unhealthy choices along with some helpful suggestions for healthy dinner recipes.

No Time to Make and Eat a Healthy Dinner

In today's society, we are always on the go - working, running errands, driving our children to and from school and extracurricular activities; the list is endless. Grocery stores are turning into food malls. With all the aisles and selections to navigate, we may feel we don't have time to go grocery shopping.

Because most people only have a few minutes to get dinner, they usually choose fast food, which is a convenient, albeit unhealthy choice. As a nation, the U.S. is getting fatter and unhealthier. What we need to combat this dilemma are healthy dinner recipe choices that can be prepared fast.

Quick and Healthy Dinner Choices

There are literally thousands of cookbooks on the market and many of them have exactly what we need: quick and healthy dinner recipes. But if you absolutely can't find the time to make a healthy dinner at home; go to the grocery store. Most supermarkets have an area where they sell roasted chicken and deli meats such as sliced turkey. Both these options can be part of a healthy dinner. Grab a loaf of healthy whole grain bread, a bag of apples, and a gallon of milk and you have something much better for you than a quarter pound hamburger with greasy fries.

Healthy Dinners Save You Money

So you've decided that fast food isn't the way to go. What about a sit-down restaurant? The food looks mouth-watering good! At only $12 a meal, you can have enough to satisfy you for hours. They serve steak, potatoes, pastas... and the desserts are to die for! When you look at their fantastic dinner menu you may want to think about what all the sugar, cholesterol and fat will do to your body.

As far as cost goes: It doesn't cost $12 a person to eat at home. In fact, it doesn't have to cost $12 for an entire meal for 5! What is more, you don't save time this way. How long does it take to drive to the restaurant, wait for a table, wait for the food to be prepared, eat and drive home? In that amount of time you could have made an inexpensive, healthy dinner and eaten it at home.

How to Pick a Healthy Dinner Recipe

- Use recipes that contain low-fat ingredients like fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meat, whole grains and skim milk.

- Choose the freshest ingredients possible.

- Organic foods are grown without the use of pesticides and hormones and are the best food for your body.

It is all about having the best ingredients on hand at home to select and prepare a healthy dinner recipe for your loved ones.

Preparing dinner at home benefits you in more than time, money and health. It allows you priceless, quality time with your family. Sharing a nutritious meal around the family table is one of the many ways of enjoying healthy dinner choices.

Healthy Pizza Recipes

By Michael Haydon

Healthy pizza recipes are easily available even if you use the traditional ingredients contained in most recipes. But there is much more to consider. In my view pizza is a complete meal and a great source of healthy nutrition for children and adults alike.

There are no nutrition problems when eating pizza but you must follow some simple guidelines. It is no secret that overeating is the real underlying issue not the pizza itself. In fact most pizza recipes contain great sources of all food groups which nutritionists recommend to us for a healthy diet.

Here are some simple guidelines to follow when choosing your pizza recipe.

1. Use fresh ingredients especially herbs and spices.
2. Prepare your own sauces from fresh ingredients especially vegetables and herbs, like tomato, eggplant, basil and onions.
3. Use the best quality olive oil where it is called for.
4. Use cheese sparingly. Don’t fall into the trap of using too much cheese as this contributes most to the fat content of your pizza. Be restrained! Let the other ingredients and delicious flavours come through.
5. Remember to have a balanced approach when constructing your pizza. This means making sure that the cheese doesn’t drown out the other ingredients. There is nothing better than tasting the fresh basil, the sumptuous tomato and the delicious eggplant.

There are a few secrets of the trade in making your own pizza; once you know them, it is not hard to make your own and it takes very little time. In fact, after you make it a few times you'll wonder why you made such a big deal out of it.

I have put together a collection of delicious pizza recipes over the years which have given me great joy. I am not overweight mainly because I eat pizza in moderation and use the best combination of delicious fresh and innovative ingredients.

I have learned that you can use seasonal ingredients of almost any kind to create new pizza recipes every year. Would you believe that my kids enjoy fruit pizza for dessert? Well, it’s true. I have used pizza recipes to introduce new tastes to my children. When they were reluctant to try Lima beans for example, it was a revelation to me that just putting a few on a pizza was a great way to let them taste something new and learn to enjoy it. Naturally I used some complementary ingredients to enhance the flavour but it sure worked.

Fresh Corn Recipes Capture the Taste of Summer

By Harriet Hodgson

Nothing beats fresh corn on the cob with butter (not too much), salt, and pepper. My family loves fresh corn so much I often cook extra for other meals. Corn has no cholesterol, little sodium, vitamin A and calcium. Better yet, it contains 2 grams of fiber per half cup and fiber is necessary for health.

The recipe for corn fitters is an old one, yet just as delicious today. I have added Splenda blend to the recipe to bring out the sweetness of the corn. We eat sugar-free syrup, but you may serve the fritters with real maple syrup if you wish. Corn souffle is a tasty side dish for grilled steak, barbecued chicken and ribs. Follow the directions to the letter and serve immediately to ensure a light, puffy souffle.

Fresh Corn Fritters and Maple Syrup

1 cup cooked fresh corn

1 cup presifted regular flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon low sodium salt

2 teaspoons Splenda blend

2 large eggs, room temperature

2 teaspoons canola oil

1/2 cup skim milk

Cut corn off the cob. Separate any kernels that are stuck together. Place corn in bowl and set aside.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and Splenda blend in small bowl. Whisk eggs, canola oil, and milk together. Add fresh corn. Stir wet mixture into dry mixture.

Fill a cast iron skillet half way with canola oil and heat. Drop batter by tablespoons into hot oil, turning once, and cook until fritters are golden brown. Serve with sugar-free maple syrup, sausage, bacon or ham, and mixed fresh fruit. Makes six servings.

Corn Souffle with Chiles and Red Peppers

3 large eggs, room temperature

3 tablespoons soft margarine

3 tablespoons gravy flour

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon Splenda blend

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1 cup skim milk

2 tablespoons canned green chiles, drained and diced

2 tablespoons roasted red peppers from a jar, drained and diced

1 cup cooked fresh corn

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Separate eggs into whites and yolks. Put whites in mixer bowl and yolks in medium bowl. Beat yolks with fork.

Melt margarine in medium saucepan. Stir in flour and seasonings. Cook for one minute. Add milk and, stirring constantly, cook until mixture thickens. Stir in a little egg yolk to temper sauce. Add remaining yolks and cook over medium heat until very thick. Remove from heat.

Fold diced chilies, red peppers, and corn into sauce. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Stir several tablespoons of whites into vegetable-sauce mixture. Gently fold in the remaining whites and pour into ungreased souffle dish. Bake for 50 minutes. Makes 6-8 servings.

Healthy Recipes - A Delicious Pasta Recipe That Will Boost Your Immune System

By Melinda Banks

Love tomatoes and pasta? Did you know they can be combined to boost your immune system? This healthy pasta recipe does just that.

Every day, your immune system battles the millions of bacteria, microbes, toxins and viruses that try to invade your body. But this complex and highly interactive network of organs and specialized cells can help keep you healthy only if it's healthy itself. So how do you make sure your immune system stays strong? Along with getting enough sleep and exercise, and keeping your stress level down, a low-fat, high-fiber, nutrient-rich diet will keep your immune system in top-notch condition. Research suggests that the following vitamins and minerals, in particular, regulate a wide variety of immune system functions:

• Vitamin A
  
• B-complex vitamins
  
• Vitamin C
  
• Zinc
  
• Selenium
  
• Magnesium
  

While it's a good idea to take a vitamin and mineral supplement to ensure you're getting the nutrition your body needs, you obviously want to get as many immunity-boosting nutrients as you can from the food you eat. The following recipe, rich in the vitamins and minerals listed above, offers a delicious way to keep your immune system strong:

Mexican Pasta Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  
• 1/2 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
  
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 can (14½ oz) stewed tomatoes, chopped
  
• 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
  
• 1/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  
• 8 oz package bow- or corkscrew-shaped whole wheat pasta
  

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well and place in a large bowl.
   
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and garlic and cook 30 seconds.
   
3. Crumble in ground beef. Sprinkle with chili powder and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink.
   
4. Add tomatoes and their juices, and jalapeño. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 5 minutes.
   
5. Pour sauce over pasta.
   
6. Sprinkle with cheese and cilantro. Toss to mix.

How to Cook Grilled Tuna

By Sarah Sandori

For much of my life, tuna fish meant that chopped-up stuff from a can that my mom would mix with mayonnaise, onions and pickles and spread between a couple of pieces of white bread for me to take to school for my lunch. Who knew that tuna was also something you could eat like a regular fish?

Nowadays I'm pleased to see tuna steaks popping up on restaurant menus and in supermarket seafood displays. Tuna offers a lot more delicious possibilities than good ol', boring ol', tuna salad!

Tuna especially lends itself to grilling. If you want to grill tuna, go to the store or seafood market and look for the pinkest fish you can find. Tuna flesh happens to be among the pinkest of all fish, because it contains more of the oxygen-binding molecule called myoglobin. The flesh of some tunas even runs to dark red because of this.

In general, the pinker/redder the tuna, the better. Following the Japanese system, the best tuna is termed "sashimi grade," and although what that means exactly is subject to some dispute, it includes color along with fat content and freshness. Sashimi tuna is bright red.

Sashimi is seafood that is sliced thin and intended to be eaten raw. For grilling purposes, you can do with a lesser grade, but it's still good to know a little about what constitutes the best tuna before you make your selection.

Here are a couple of easy grilled tuna recipes that I like.

Grilled Tuna Steaks: Recipe 1

Ingredients

4 tuna steaks

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon fancy mustard

2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

1. Lay tuna steaks in a shallow dish.

2. In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mustard and cooking oil to create a marinade.

3. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks. Carefully (so as not to break them up), turn fish until coated on each side with marinade.

4. Cover dish with plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

5. Get your grill hot. Remove tuna from refrigerator, pouring off the marinade into a bowl to use for basting. Grill the tuna steaks for approximately 12 to 16 minutes, basting frequently and turning midway through the process.

Grilled Tuna Steaks: Recipe 2

Ingredients

4 tuna steaks

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 to 2 inches fresh ground ginger root

1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions

1. Place tuna steaks in a shallow dish.

2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, ground ginger root and garlic sauce. This is your marinade.

3. Pour marinade over tunas. Gently turn fish until coated on each side with marinade.

4. Cover dish with plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour.

5. Get your grill hot--for this recipe, a charcoal grill is definitely the best way to go. Remove tuna steaks from refrigerator. Grill tuna steaks for 10 to 15 minutes. Be sure to turn them at least once during the grilling.

When you serve your tuna steaks, you can garnish them with lemon wedges or sprigs of parsley. Grilled peppers, onions and mushrooms make great accompaniments.

Healthy Smoothie Recipes to Help Curb Your Sweet Tooth

By J. Spann

I confess. I am a confirmed smoothie junkie. What's more, I am actually proud of it.

When I began experimenting with truly healthy smoothie recipes a few years ago, I noticed that
my near obsessive desire for sweets began to subside. And my energy level began to soar.

Now, I actually prefer the taste of a freshly-made smoothie to that of a sugar-filled milkshake or malt any day. The key to curbing those refined sugar cravings is to feed your body an abundance of vitamins and minerals, along with several servings of naturally sweet foods daily.

Yes, kicking the sugar habit will take commitment. And a little work. But it's definitely doable.
Here are a few healthy smoothie recipes to help you get started:

GINGER TROPICAL SMOOTHIE

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1/2 banana

1/4 to 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root; peeled

1/2 cup crushed ice

Add all ingredients to blender and process until smooth.
Serves 1

Ginger is a powerful root that helps to soothe the stomach. I have used it myself many times to help keep nausea at bay. Some experts also claim that ginger can help to ease the symptoms of arthritis.

HAWAIIAN SMOOTHIE

1 cup cubed peeled pineapple

2 cups cubed ripe mango; peeled

1 ripe banana peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 tsp. extra-virgin coconut oil

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
Serves 2

Bananas are very high in plant protein. They are a good source of vitamins A, B1, B2 and niacin. Yogurt is a calcium-rich food that boosts the digestive system.

MELON MADNESS SMOOTHIE

2 cups seeded and chopped watermelon

1 1/2 cups seeded and chopped honeydew melon

1 1/2 cups ripe papaya

1 cup guava nectar

1 cup ice cubes

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses.

Makes 2 - 3 servings

Watermelon is rich in provitamin A, potassium and zinc, which some experts say helps combat impotence. Papayas are a good source of both beta carotene and vitamin C.
