This weeks featured Recipes : Atkins Diet Recipes Chicken and Vegetable Soup

Carbs Per Serving : 5 total recipe
excluding artichokes and bacon
Effort: Easy

Ingredients:
5 skinless boneless chicken breast -- cooked
1 cup onions -- chopped
1 cup celery -- chopped
Cooked chopped bacon as you like
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 cans chicken broth -- (3 to 4)
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seed
1 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 can chopped artichoke hearts
2 tablespoons capers -- or more
2 cups kale -- cut in half, then sliced
How to Prepare:
This recipe is mostly low carb and can be varied according to your
needs and taste. It is very meaty and rich. Try several different
versions with different meat and vegetables. Adjust the heat as
needed throughout the recipe to keep it simmering but don't let it get dry and burnt.
It is best to prepare the meat first so you are ready when the time
is right. I like to grill up several boneless and skinless chicken
breasts and a few green onions for a smoky flavor as the main
ingredient. Start with a large pot. Put in enough olive oil and/or butter to cover the bottom and heat. Next add chopped onion
and celery stalks. Let this cook until translucent. Then add
seasonings like dried or fresh rosemary and cilantro, and parsley.
Then add some dried fennel seeds. Amounts as you wish.
Next add about as much chopped up and fried bacon as you desire. I
like to buy the pre-cooked packages at the store. Let is cook over a
medium heat. Add the meat (chicken in this case). Then put in about
a cup of white or red wine. Next add two to four ca
ns of chicken broth and let it simmer some more. Last, you can pour
in a pint of heavy cream and stir it in. I like to chop up some
fresh kale or other greens into bite sized pieces and throw them in
last then turn off the heat. You can use Italian sausage instead of chicken

and I've also tried chopped up lamb or beef
with good results. Again, adjust to your own diet or taste. I've
added a small amount of capers and a can of artichoke hearts (chop
the artichoke hearts into big chunks)

Sisters' latest cookbook full of healthy recipes

A light-hearted approach to a heavy subject is behind "Eat, Shrink & Be Merry," a new cookbook by Canadian sisters Janet and Greta Podleski.
"We don't teach people how to diet, we teach them how to eat," said Greta Podleski from her office in Kitchener, Ontario, an hour west of Toronto.
The colorful cookbook (Granet Publishing) is a combination of healthy recipes, cartoons and lots of nutrition information sprinkled throughout, great for this time of year with the abundance of New Year's resolutions.
"You almost get sucked in to reading every word. People say they end up reading it like a novel," Podleski said.
This is the third cookbook for the sisters, who use puns for nearly everything. "Beyond Beleaf" is the name of the chapter for salads. "In Cod We Trust" is a recipe featuring cod with a coating of Special K cereal and various seasonings.
"I think we dream in puns," Podleski said, laughing. "We're very friendly and not preachy."
The result is a growing number of e-mails about the cookbooks being life-changing.
"We hear from people who say they didn't really know where to start or where to turn. A woman wrote that her husband had a heart attack and his doctor recommended our cookbook. Others say they or their spouse lost 50 pounds," she said.
All this is done in a very underhanded manner.
"Husbands will ask their wives to make that three-cheese lasagna, not because they think it is healthy but because it tastes good. People like our recipes because of the flavor, and the nutrition is almost a bonus," she said.
This cookbook contains many favorites, such as chicken pot pie, but without all the fat and carbs and a lot more fiber. None of the recipes call for hard-to-find ingredients.
The sisters have a television program on Canada's food network and are often making recipes and having people try them on camera. In one episode, they had a blind taste test of honey garlic barbecue wings with blue cheese dipping sauce from a wing joint famous for its "high-fat, gut-busting" food. They duplicated the wings and dipping sauce, then asked 20 people to sample.
"Our dish won, 19 to 1," Podleski said.
"We teach people how to use spices and ingredients creatively," she said. "Strict dieting only will backfire in the long run. That's why we picked recipes like lasagna and cheesecake and put a healthy spin on them."
Below are a couple of recipes from "Eat, Shrink & Be Merry."

Dinner on a Dime

By the end of the day, most students are exhausted and in need of a tasty, easy meal. I know from experience that homework can make it challenging to cook a highly involved meal on weeknights. I also know that choosing whether to eat a Hot Pocket or a can of soup for dinner every night gets old really fast. Believe it or not, it’s actually easy to make a hearty meal with a tight budget and a backpack full of homework.
Most of the recipes I use make about four servings of food. If you just cook for yourself, you’ll probably end up with some leftovers. I would suggest inviting friends or roommates to eat with you, and then make them do the dishes. That’s a fair trade, right? They get food, and you don’t have to clean the kitchen (which is definitely the worst part of the cooking/eating process).
So before I start making you salivate, let me briefly go over some safety issues you should be aware of in the kitchen. (If you are a vegetarian, you can just skip this paragraph.) When you are handling raw meat, you need to be very careful. Make sure you use a plastic cutting board if you need to chop it, and wash your hands with soap before you touch anything else. Cook meat to at least 160 degrees to get rid of any harmful bacteria. Also, please be careful with sharp knives, and make sure your fingers are in the clear when you’re chopping. Telling someone your giant scar is from a cooking accident could be pretty embarrassing.
Now that you know how to safely handle meat, let’s get back to dinner ideas. (Vegetarians, you can tune in now.) One of my favorite things to cook for dinner is stir-fry. It is easy to make, and you can use whatever ingredients you want. Most vegetables taste great stir-fried, making it easy to cook something you will like. Chicken, beef, and tofu are all great in it as well. Cooking it basically just requires you to throw the ingredients in a frying pan (or wok) with oil and let them hang out for a while. If you like more structure, here are a bunch of stir-fry recipes.
If you eat meat, there are several easy recipes you can make with ground beef. (If you aren’t a fan of cows, you can substitute most of these with ground turkey.) Tacos are really easy and cheap. They’re great with ground beef, but you can also use chicken or beans instead. If you want to impress a date, meatloaf is an easy meal you can make with ground beef. Your date won’t have a clue the dish practically made itself.
I realize that macaroni and cheese is a comfort food, and many college students have become completely addicted to it. If you are dying to have some, try making it from scratch instead of a box. It’s healthier, cheaper, and can fill more bellies. I bet you can do a better job than Kraft can, anyway. If you’re feeling fancy, try adding some vegetables or ham to your creation.
I could keep listing dinner recipes all day, but who wants to keep reading when you could be eating. So instead, I will send you on your way with links to several websites with easy dinner ideas. Thanks to the internet, not owning a cookbook is no longer a legitimate excuse for eating dinner out of a box.

HEALTHY RECIPES: Roman Tuna Salad

Some supermarkets have a selection of olives in bins or they sell them in plastic containers. The fresh olives taste much better than canned olives. We like Greek Calamata olives for this tuna salad. (Try to buy them without the pits – it’ll save you some work.)

What You'll Need: Serves 4
1/4 cup Nayonaise (soy-mayo from Nasoya)
1 tablespoon each: fresh lemon juice
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 cans (7 ounces each) tuna
1 can (14-ounce) artichoke hearts
1 small red onion
1/4 cup each: chopped black olives
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Chopped Italian (flat leafed) parsley leaves

What You'll Do:

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the nayonaise, lemon juice, and olive oil.
2. Open the can of tuna and the artichokes. Pressing the tuna lid down, drain the tuna liquid into the sink. Carefully remove the sharp lids. Empty the artichokes into a strainer to drain.
3. Add the tuna to the mayo mixture. Break up the tuna with a fork but leave it chunky. If the artichokes aren’t quartered, cut each one into quarters lengthwise. Add to the tuna.
4. Chop the onion and add to the tuna. Using your fingers, pit the olives and chop into large pieces. Finely chop the parsley; adding the olives and parsley to the tuna. Stir; add salt and pepper to taste.

To Serve: For a sandwich, spread onto crusty bread or rolls with some lettuce leaves or by itself on a bed of lettuce.

For your school lunch, pack the tuna in a plastic container and the bread (whole-wheat of course!) in a plastic baggie.

Tools:
Medium mixing bowl
Measuring cups, spoons
Can opener
Strainer
Cutting board
Chef’s knife

HEALTHY RECIPES: Veggie Wrap

The Wrapper: It’s an 8-10 inch flour, not corn, tortilla that comes in fun colors – red (red pepper or sun-dried tomato), green (spinach), brown (whole-wheat), or plain white.

 

What You Need: Serves 1

 

1 flour tortilla, any variety

2 tablespoons hummus, any flavor

2 tablespoons grated carrot

6 fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried

 

What You'll Do:

 

Lay the tortilla on a piece of foil. Spread the hummus on the tortilla almost up to the edges. Sprinkle the grated carrot over the hummus. Lay the spinach leaves on top. Roll up and cut in half with a serrated knife but don’t cut the foil. Wrap tightly in foil.

 

To Wrap: Place a thin layer(s) of ingredients on the tortilla, leaving a quarter-inch of space around the edges. Roll the wrap up tightly, but not too tightly or the ingredients will ooze out. Use a serrated knife to cut it in half so the tortilla doesn’t tear. Wrap in foil and pack it.

 

Tip: Make up the ingredients the day before and assemble the wrap in the morning. Otherwise, the wrap can get pretty soggy. Ugh!

Cheap Healthy Recipes Nutrition for kids

Nutrition for kids explained.

The first thing we should look at is the proportion of different foods kids should eat at any one meal.
If we keep to this to nutrition for kids guide we will be providing our family with a healthy balanced diet In the following way;

Proteins Fill 15% of the plate.

If we fill 15% of the plate then we are giving them enough protein for constant cell rejuvenation.
Healthy Choices: include eggs, cheese, poultry and meat.
Nutrition For Kids Food Facts: babies, toddlers, children and teens need more protein than the average adult because they are still growing.

Carbohydrates Fill 30% of the plate

If we fill the plate with roughly one third of carbohydrates then they will be getting enough carbohydrates for energy.
Healthy Choices: include whole wheat bread, brown rice, legumes, pasta, starchy vegetables – potatoes.
Nutrition For Kids Food Facts: The type of carbohydrate is the key here. Refined sugars in off the shelf treats and some juices give a quick burst of energy but also a very deep low. Teachers see this every day. Kids who have had a sugary breakfast cereal are going down hill by 10.00. Concentration in waning and behaviour deteriorates. Learning time is severely diminished.
Kids who have had a more sensible breakfast – wholemeal toast, spread with mashed avocado and a slice of tomato, for example are breaking down their carbs steadily and have a constant supply of energy, for increased concentration and learning. They stay the distance.

Fruits and vegetables fill a third of the plate.

If we put these on the plate we are giving them food for vitality.
Healthy choices: include all fruit and all vegetables.
Nutrition For Kids Food Facts: Fruits and vegetables provide us with essential minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. They give us what we need for growth, development and disease resistance – from the common cold to cancer.
There is always some article or other pertaining to the advantages of some mineral or antioxidant. And it’s not rubbish – remember the folic acid supplements you took religiously while pregnant. Well folic acid occurs naturally in green vegetables, liver, kidney, nuts, wholewheat bread and wholegrain cereals. So take these supper foods seriously.

Fats fill 3% of the plate.

If we provide the right fats we will be giving them the ability to absorb the fantastic vitamins we are making so much effort to give them.
Healthy Choices: include polyunsaturated fats in vegetable oils like soy bean, corn, sunflower and safflower.
Monounsaturated fats in olive oil, Canola oil nuts and seeds.
Essential fatty acids, omega 6 and 3 essential for brain development.
Nutrition For Kids Food Facts: We have got into the mind set of late that fat is bad. And yes it is – like anything, in excess. It is a food fact however that children need fat in their diet. Babies take 50% of their energy from fat up to about one years of age and 35% from then on.
It is also a food fact that some fats are necessary to absorb the fat soluble vitamins A,D,E and K. So do not do away with fat altogether. Instead we need to realise that there are different types of fat. Some we should avoid and some we should not.

Dairy Food fills 15% of the plate.

If we provide the dairy products we will be giving them strong bones and teeth.
Healthy Choices: include milk, cheese, yoghurt and eggs.
Nutrition For Kids Food Facts: These foods are high in vitamins A and B12 and calcium. The calcium in milk is easily absorbed by our bodies. Be aware however that the fats in dairy tend to be saturated, so our intake is worth watching and balancing.
So healthy nutrition is achievable. Just keep visualising our plate and make the Healthy choices I have outlined in roughly the proportions and you can be confident you have given your kids a healthy balanced diet.

6 Heart-Healthy Pasta Dishes

Photo: © Jim Franco

In the realm of healthy eating, pasta often gets a bad rap. After all, the all-too-familiar bowls of starchy noodles topped with calorie-heavy meat ragus and butter-and-cream –laden sauces can’t exactly be considered good-for-you eats. However, with a little imagination, it’s easy to raise the nutrition quotient of all your favorite pasta dishes. We found ways to make offerings like Rigatoni Bolognese and Fettuccine Alfredo better for you (without sacrificing flavor) by substituting traditional high-fat ingredients like heavy cream and ground beef with healthier alternatives such as fat-free cream cheese and turkey sausage. The result? Pastas that are every bit as good for you as they taste. Buon appetito!
