Quick, Easy, Economical Cornbread Beef Casserole For a Hearty Family Meal

With unemployment numbers continuing to rise and our economy continuing to falter, many of us are looking for ways to cut expenses. If you are looking for ways to cut back on your grocery budget, casseroles are one of the best ways to do so. This Cornbread Beef Casserole is a good example of an entree that is quick and easy to make and it is also economical. But you aren't giving up taste or feeding your family an unhealthy meal. In this one dish you have meat, vegetables, cheese, and the cornbread. Add a quick salad, steamed broccoli or some corn and you have a meal your family will love.

CORNBREAD BEEF CASSEROLE

Healthy Casseroles

1 lb ground beef
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbsp chili powder
1 can (16-oz) pinto beans
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cans (8-oz) tomato sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pouch Mexican cornbread mix

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 12 X 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a 10 or 12-inch skillet crumble and cook the ground beef with the crushed garlic and onion until the meat is browned; drain off excess fat. Stir the chili powder and the tomato sauce into the meat mixture. Spoon the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the meat mixture. Spoon the pinto beans over the cheese. Prepare the cornbread mix according to the package directions and pour the batter over the beans. Bake at 400 degrees approximately 25 minutes or until the cornbread is browned.

Variations:

If you don't want the extra spice of Mexican cornbread, use a yellow or white cornbread mix pouch. For a bit of a sweet taste, use Jiffy Cornbread mix.

If you like more heat, use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.

If you don't like to use red meat, substitute lean ground chicken or turkey for the ground beef. You will need to add a tablespoon of canola oil to the skillet before browning the meat.

Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Casserole With Pralines, Pecans, and Raisins

Sometimes a holiday classic needs refreshing. Here is a great casserole dish that takes the ordinary and makes it taste extraordinary. Cooked sweet potatoes are combined with pure cane syrup, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, brown sugar, orange juice, the zest and juice of a fresh lemon, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, ground nutmeg, raisins, chopped pecans and praline pieces. This is a rich and delicious casserole that is perfect for any occasion.

The recipe starts with cooked sweet potatoes, a task that is relatively simple. One way to prepare the 6 pounds of potatoes would be to roast them in the oven for about an hour. Wash the potatoes when you are ready to cook them. Trim off the ugly ends and place them on a baking sheet to catch any liquids that drip. Roast until soft, cool slightly and remove the skins after roasting. To save some time, you could peel and steam whole or chopped potato pieces in a steaming basket for about 30 minutes, or wrap whole potatoes in plastic wrap and microwave approximately 15 minutes each. As there are 6 pounds of potatoes, or approximately 4 to 6 large potatoes to be cooked, the oven method is recommended.

The casserole can be served as is, or you could top with whip cream and garnish with additional cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, or pecan pieces.

6 pounds Sweet Potatoes, cooked
1 tablespoon Pure Cane Syrup

Juice from 1 Fresh Lemon
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
1 cup Raisins
2 cups chopped Pecans
8 whole Pralines, broken into pieces

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Add the cooked, peeled potatoes to large mixing bowl.
3. Stir in pure cane syrup, sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, and brown sugar.
4. Stir by hand or with electric mixer.
5. Stir in the fresh orange juice, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice.
6. Stir or mix until well blended and potato mixture is smooth.
7. Fold in the ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, raisins, chopped pecans and praline pieces.

1 chopped yellow onion
4 chopped sprigs thyme
4 chopped cloves garlic

Healthy Chicken Recipes: They'll Never Miss the Fat

We are all looking for new ways to keep our families and ourselves healthy. We watch our fat and calorie intake and encourage our children to get more exercise. We take vitamins and are careful to teach our children careful hygiene habits to avoid illness. One way that we can take care of our families' health that is easy is by using healthy chicken recipes to find new, delicious dishes we can serve for dinner that our families will love and will eat.

Eating healthy does not have to be a sacrifice. Many of us imagine a plain, lonely chicken breast sitting alone on a plate, dry and boring. However, there are many more ways to prepare chicken so that it is still low in fat, but it is full of tastes that will please everyone at the table. It is pretty exciting that we can offer our families dinners they will love and still be putting in front of them healthy, wholesome, low fat foods.

Healthy Casseroles

Grilled chicken, prepared with barbecue or teriyaki sauce, is one low fat option for preparing chicken. The sauces and marinades lock in the juices to create a tender, juicy meal that will taste so good, you will be unlikely to see any leftovers. Baked chicken may be prepared with barbeque as well, or it could be baked in the form of a casserole with vegetables and potatoes, topped with gooey cheese. Roast chicken has always been a favorite, and it can even be prepared in the crockpot to give you a tasty end to a very busy day.

Chicken breasts are not the only part of the chicken you can serve that is low in fat. Drumstick and chicken thigh recipes offer many different ways to prepare these favorite chicken parts. If your home is one that favors dark meat over white meat, these recipes might be exactly what you are seeking. These chicken parts can be delicious, marinated or prepared with a sauce or a spicy rub. Even leftover chicken is delicious in a casseroles, soup, or chili.

For fried chicken aficionados, prepare breaded oven fried chicken to make a dish that will truly satisfy, but with far less fat. No one at the table will miss the oil soaked chicken, and you will have created a new family favorite. You can do this with drumsticks, thighs, breasts, or any combination of these parts. Experiment if you like with various kinds of breading and seasoning.

With so many options for healthy chicken recipes, there is really no reason to look for some new or exotic food to cook in order to change up the menu. You can create original, creative dishes regularly with chicken, a familiar food that is easy to work with. Your family will love the variety of dishes they get to eat, and you will love that you are serving them foods that are healthy and low in fat and cholesterol. Everyone wins when you use healthy chicken recipes to prepare your family meals.

The Doggie Casserole

The Doggie Casserole is a great dog food recipe for those looking for a quick way to add the right amount of nutrients to their dog's diet that they are not getting via commercial dog food. This will allow you to feed your dog natural dog food but not make you have to give up the benefits of kibble. Kibble provides your pup with a way to chew and clean his teeth.

Some dogs will not chew on toys or bones as a way to maintain proper mouth care, so kibble can provide them with this experience. You will be able to add the nutritional benefits of a natural dog food to your dog's routine without compromising him in other areas.

For this recipe you will need:

o 2 cups of chopped boiled chicken
o 1 cup of cooked brown rice
o 1 cup of mixed vegetables
o ½ cup of unsalted chicken broth

The first step in making Doggie Casserole is to boil your chicken very well to be sure it is cooked all the way through first. Once the chicken has thoroughly cooled, you will want to cut it into small chunks. Cook your brown rice as directed on the stove top and boil your vegetables as well. Once all of your ingredients are prepared, mix them together in a sauce pan with the chicken broth and bring to a boil and then remove from the heat.

Allow your meal to cool and then serve with kibble at room temperature. The rest can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for longer. Always be sure to store this in serving size portions that are size appropriate for your pup. If you are unsure at how much you should feed your dog, ask your Veterinarian.

Supplementing your dog's diet is very important when you are using a commercial kibble. The Doggie Casserole is a simple meal alternative that allows you to give your pup the proper amount of fresh food he needs to stay happy and healthy. Commercial dog food alone does not provide this type of healthy nutrition and this is why supplementing can truly benefit your dog more than you realize. Each day you can feed your pup the proper amount of dry commercial dog food and add the warmed Doggie Casserole to it. You will want to give him less dry food as you are adding the mixture as a supplement.

Your casserole has a higher level of nutrition, so he will need less kibble. This will allow you to save money and give your pup all the things he needs to be healthy and happy for the rest of his days. This dish can also be served alone for dogs who are not dry food lovers, but it is best to add a vitamin supplement if you plan to feed alone. Also, for dogs that do not prefer dry foods, you need to offer chew toys or bones for proper tooth health.

How to Eat Healthy During the Holidays

The holiday season can be a challenging time to make healthy food choices. With all the office parties, family celebrations, and abundance of cake, cookies, and pies, it is easy to see why the typical American gains weight between Thanksgiving and the New Year. With food as the center piece for most holiday celebrations and social events, it is very hard to avoid, but with a little preparation and planning, you can still enjoy spreading the holiday cheer without spreading your waistline.

Don't go to a party hungry. The hungrier you are, the faster you will eat. It is important to eat your typical breakfast, lunch, and snacks on the day of the party to avoid being famished when you arrive and therefore overeat.

Healthy Casseroles

Substitute traditional foods with healthy alternatives. Most of the traditional holiday meals can be prepared in a healthier manner. For example, try our Low Carb Pumpkin Casserole (link to recipe) as an alternative to pumpkin pie.

Watch out for holiday spirits. Alcoholic beverages can contain from 150 to 450 calories a glass. Limit your drinks to 1-2 glasses. The lower calorie, lower carb choices are dry wine, Bloody Mary's, or spirits with diet mixers. Alcohol has 7 calories per gram (fat has 9 and protein has 4) and then is stored in the body as extra belly fat. Individuals who are overweight can gain weight more quickly when consuming alcohol.

Up Your Exercise. Yes, you can bond with family over bread and wine, but you can also bond through a brisk walk or bike ride. Try to plan some holiday events around fitness such as entering the family into a 5K Holiday Fun Run, or walk together, or enroll in a fitness class together.

Plan Ahead. Know what parties are you going to attend, what food you will be tempted by, what personal stressful triggers may drive you to eat, and make a plan on how you will deal with those situations. It is much easier to deal with difficult social eating situations if you already have a plan.

Practice conscious eating. Most people tend to eat beyond their body's physical hunger at holiday events simply because the food is there, it is good, and everyone else is doing it! To avoid over-eating, make one plate of food of the items you really want to eat. Sit down, and eat slowly. Chew and saver each bite. Set your fork down between bites and take your time. When you are finished eating, pop in a mint or a piece of gum to keep your mouth occupied and prevent having seconds.

Bring your own healthy dish to the party. If you are not sure what you can eat when you get there, bring the food with you. Offering to bring a dish puts you in control. At least you know there is one healthy item on hand.

Challah French Toast Casserole For Breakfast

One of my favorite breads is Challah. Many weeks, we'd start a loaf on Friday and by Monday, it was gone. French toast made with challah is just wonderful.

We have made our own challah and we've bought challah at both stores and bakeries.

Healthy Casseroles

If you make your own challah, you can knead by hand and allow to rise, or you can use a bread machine. We've tried many different challah recipes. We do have our favorite but several of them have been very good.

There are also a few stores that make challah that we all like.

I'd like to share a French toast casserole recipe that uses one full loaf of challah.

French Toast Casserole

1 loaf of challah
1 cup of milk (whole milk or half and half works best)
(if your challah is large add additional liquid to the recipe)
¾ cup brown sugar
8 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Salt to taste

Slice the challah into 1 ½ inch thick slices. Place in the bottom of a casserole dish. Tear the bread as needed to fit into the casserole dish. Mix together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the casserole, cover and store in refrigerator over night.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 45 minutes.

I have seen both ginger and nutmeg used in French toast casserole recipes. If you like those flavors, you can add ½ teaspoon of nutmeg or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger. Both will add additional flavor to the casserole.

You can also add either cranberries or raisins to the recipe. Pour the fruit on top of the bread in the casserole dish before pouring the liquid mixture on top.

When the casserole is done, cut into squares to serve. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top, spoon fruit filling over the top or pour syrup on top.

Why Are Carrots Good For You?

Carrots For Natural Good Health

Possible Therapeutic Benefits:

 lower the risk of cancer
 lower blood cholesterol
 prevent constipation 
 helpful for general nervousness, asthma, skin disorders, vision

Carrots are good for lowering cholesterol: Two and a half medium-sized raw carrots eaten daily lower blood cholesterol by about 11%.

Carrots are good for lowering the risk of cancer: One carrot (half a cup) once a day can cut the risk of lung cancer in half. The beta carotene component in carrots is particularly of benefit. To get the most anticancer protection, eat some carrots cooked. Cooking releases carotenes which are believed to be the active ingredients shielding carcinogenic attacks. You get two to five times more carotene from cooked carrots than from raw ones. But don't overcook, as much of the precious beta carotene will be lost.

New research has shown that the compound falcarinol in carrots can protect animals from cancer. The study involved only raw carrots - it is not yet known if carrot juice or cooked carrots have the same effect.

Carrots are good for improving vision: Carrots are rich in beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A - a crucial nutrient for maintaining proper eyesight. If your body is deficient in vitamin A, then regular consumption of carrots will be of benefit.

Carrots are good for weight loss: Grated carrot makes a great snack. You'll find that a grated carrot is much more filling than a whole carrot - strange but true.

Carrots are also rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants, and minerals. It is recommended that we eat one carrot a day as part of our fruit and vegetable intake.

Carrot Recipe:

Healthy Carrot Casserole

2½ cups carrots, sliced

1 small onion, finely chopped

½ cup water

1 tablespoon honey

¼ cup sunflower seeds

1 egg, lightly beaten

60g almonds, chopped

Add your choice of additional herbs & spices.

Preheat moderate oven. Place carrots, onion, water and seasoning into a saucepan. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until carrots are just tender. Stir in all remaining ingredients except almonds. Pour into a shallow baking dish, sprinkle with almonds and bake for 15 minutes.

Serves 4 as a side dish.

Hot and Hearty Dinner the Easy Way - Chicken and Rice Casserole Recipe

Home cooks have depended on casseroles since baking pans were invented. Casseroles typically contain all food groups and thereby provide balanced nutrition along with great taste. They are generally easy to make as well because the ingredients all go in one pan that is slipped into the oven to bake. You might even be able to put your feet up while it is cooking.

The following recipe for a chicken and rice casserole uses basic and readily available ingredients that are all affordable. Try not to skip adding the slivered almonds to the recipe. They add richness and nutrition, and almonds naturally compliment chicken flavor very well.

Healthy Casseroles

Casserole ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
1-1/2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth (from a can is fine)
2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
1-1/2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or wild)
1 chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 Tablespoons chopped pimiento
1 4-ounce can mushrooms or 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
 
In a 2-quart saucepan melt the better and then stir in the flour, salt, and pepper.

While still stirring, bring the milk mixture to a boil and keep it bubbling for an additional minute.
 
You can remove the sauce from the heat now and stir in all other ingredients. Pour the sauce, chicken, and rice into a large rectangular baking dish. For a crustier result sprinkle some bread crumbs and/or grated cheese on top of the casserole and then bake for 40 or 45 minutes until everything is bubbly.

Aduki Bean - How to Cook an Aduki Bean Casserole

If you want to lose weight this is the dish for you. As well as being great for weight loss, aduki beans also contain high levels of B vitamins to nourish the adrenal glands and iron, zinc and manganese, all of which are excellent for general health. They strengthen the body's energy battery, the spleen, and soak up damp in the body like a sponge.

The aduki bean is a tiny, reddish-brown bean with a cream coloured seam and sweet, nutty flavour. It is particularly popular in Asian cooking, most often used for sweet dishes including soups, desserts and as a dim sum filling.

Aduki beans are regarded as the king of beans in Japan and are prized for their health-giving properties: reputedly benefitting the liver and the kidneys. In Japan and China aduki beans are often cooked, puréed and mixed with sugar to make a chocolately paste which is used to fill cakes and desserts.

Serves 4

Ingredients

· 200g aduki beans

· 1 wheat free vegetable stock cube

· 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped

· 2 carrots, trimmed, peeled and thickly sliced

· 1 leek, washed, trimmed and finely sliced

· half a butternut squash, peeled, halved, deseeded and cut into chunky pieces

· half teaspoon ground cumin

· half teaspoon turmeric powder

· 250g cury kale

· 4 tablespoons chopped fresh chervil

Method

1. Presoak the beans for 12 hours or overnight in cold water. Drain the beans and rinse well. Place in a saucepan of water and bring to the boil. Boil hard for 15 minutes to remove toxins. Drain and rinse well.

2. Return the beans to the pan with a litre of fresh cold water. Add the stock cube and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the vegetables, cumin and turmeric and simmer for a further 10-15 minutes.

3. Add the kale and cook for a few minutes until just tender. Sprinkle with chervil and serve with Millet Mash and Onion Gravy.

Red Hot Tex Mex Chicken Breast Casserole

Chicken breast recipes are "all the rage" these days because the low fat and hence low calorie count makes them better for your health than beef burgers and some of the other high fat foods. This recipe is not only healthy but can be made fairly easily and in not much time. Best of all it is delicious. If you like more heat in your casserole you could either add a little more Jalapeno, or go to a Habanera or some other hotter pepper.

3 chicken breast tenders (about 4 1/2 ounces total)
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese

2 flour or corn tortillas (see note under instructions)

2 - Add the olive oil to a saucepan or skillet and sauté the chicken tenders about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
3 - Cut into bite size pieces.
4 - Place one large flour or corn tortilla on the bottom of a greased casserole dish.

6 - spread the chicken pieces and Jalapeno peppers over the top.
7 - Place the other tortilla on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
8 - Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 25 minutes.

The Secret to a Healthy Casserole

Casseroles are something that my family indulged in at least four days a week. On Sundays Dad would put something big on the BBQ spit, like a turkey, leg of lamb or ham and we would eat that, with all the fixin's for Sunday dinner. For the rest of the week we had sandwiches and casseroles, interspersed with burgers, spaghetti and meatballs, or a pizza. Casseroles are great for using up those leftover bits of meat in a more interesting way. If you love cheese, as my family does, there's nothing better than some kind of meat baked with pasta and cheese. Okay, I confess, I'm Italian, and I eat like it.

Putting together a casserole is kind of like making soup, but without all the liquid. You need something to bind everything together, like cheese or some canned soup without the liquid, eggs, or breadcrumbs...or all of the above. Pretty much anything goes good in a casserole dish and there are loads of casserole recipes out there. First decide what kind of meat (or veggies, if you're vegan), starch, binder and flavors you want to put together. Then figure out how long it's going to take for the flavors to mingle in the oven, and go for it.

If you are going to use rice or pasta, you can either cook the starch first and then cook the casserole less or you will have to add the appropriate amount of liquid so it can cook. Things like potatoes don't need liquid but they will need an extended cooking time. With precooked starches you will just need enough time for everything to mix well and if you take that route, make sure you cook the meat first too.

Remember to season the casserole well or it will be rather bland. Beyond the usual salt and pepper, you would use basil, oregano and cheese for pasta, tomato sauce for rice or pasta and cheese for potatoes. Additional vegetables for any casserole would be onions, garlic, peas, beans, carrots, celery, bell-pepper, broccoli, cauliflower and corn. Tuna goes best with peas, onions, garlic and pasta, with a white sauce. Beef goes best with rice or pasta and all of the vegetables and tomato sauce. Chicken and turkey go best with rice or pasta, peas, corn, onions, garlic and broccoli. Ham goes best with onions, garlic, peas, beans, bell-pepper and cauliflower. These are not hard and fast rules, just examples. You fix what you like and don't worry about tradition. Pop that casserole in the oven, heat until bubbling and enjoy. When you make it yourself with fresh vegetables and a good chemical-free meat, it's healthy. That way you can also cut the calories, leave out additives that the deli might put in (and that the frozen food manufacturer will for sure put in), and get the satisfaction of knowing that you know exactly what is in it.

Healthy Eating for Families: 20 Quick and Easy Dinnertime Tips

By the end of any given weekday, we have packed lunches, kissed foreheads, gone to work, driven carpool all over town, and now...now it is time to cook dinner.
Here are twenty quick and easy dinnertime tips that can also make for magical family memories.

1. Have lots of fresh vegetables on hand. I love putting out a plate of veggies for my kids to snack on before dinner. Anything that's still on the plate at dinnertime is simply placed alongside our other choices on the dinner table.

Healthy Casseroles

2. While you are at the supermarket, pick up some fresh herbs. These take no time at all to throw in to virtually any recipe, but they make all the difference in the flavor of your food. It is especially nice to have fresh basil, mint, and cilantro on hand.

3. Teach your kids about the balance of food on their plate. Discuss how many food groups are represented. To make this more fun, we ask our kids if they are eating a square meal with all four food groups. And if not, is it a triangle, (three food groups), a line (two food groups), or a dot (one food group)? Thinking of their choices in this way helps my young kids to visualize their choices and to strive for a square with each meal.

4. Hang a dry erase board on the wall or the refrigerator with each family member's name. Beside their name, they can write the number of fruits and vegetables or make a note of the healthy choices they made that day.

5. Don't assume your kids want or need fattening spreads or sugary sweeteners to dress up their food. Two of my children actually prefer toast without butter, waffles without syrup, and salad without dressing.

6. Chop vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower in a food processor, and add it to soups, pasta sauce, chili or stews.

7. Be a good example. The more healthy foods you eat, the more likely your kids will be to eat it, too (eventually).

8. Use the slow cooker. Often, there are times during the day that are less hectic than the dinner hour. Choose a time that is less hassled and make a quick crock-pot recipe. My kids love to help add ingredients to the slow cooker.

9. Make a casserole. Cooking Light magazine features some wonderful quick dinnertime or make-ahead casserole recipes (also available online at CookingLight.com.) Casseroles can be a great place to sneak in even more veggies.

10. Use the electric indoor grill. I use mine to take chicken from frozen to the table in less than 20 minutes. And then I grill vegetables in 5 minutes. Everything tastes so fresh, healthy and delicious. I don't know what I ever did without mine.

11. Create a Bar. My kids love sandwich bars, pasta bars, taco bars, and potato bars. Put out the essentials and some healthy fillings and toppings, and you have a great meal where everyone is in control of what they eat.

12. Delivery! We love pizza, and many places (especially the more gourmet pizza restaurants) now feature healthy choices, featuring pizzas loaded with fresh vegetables. We order a veggie pizza and one with just cheese, just in case the kids aren't in the mood for spinach on their pie.

13. There's more to take-out than the traditional fatty fast food fare. Find a few restaurants that offer quick, healthy take out. There certainly is no shame in ordering food to go.

14. Involve your children in the cooking and baking process. Focus on creating positive memories before, during, and after mealtime. This can be a fun time of togetherness, so ask yourself: what would make it more enjoyable for your family members? For example, you might let your kids play their favorite music while they help you prepare dinner, make the salad or set the table.

15. Involve your children in the grocery shopping. Let them read labels with you and help you to make healthy decisions for the family.

16. Make meals a family affair. Family meals are tremendously important. Not only will you be more conscious of what kinds of foods your children are eating, but it will make a ritual out of the family mealtime, which may help to discourage unhealthy snacking before meals.

17. Drink only milk or water with dinner. Soda and other sugary beverages can fill up your kids with empty calories, leaving less room for the good stuff.

18. Demonstrate your reverence for the peaceful family dinner by initiating special rituals even for everyday occasions. Eat on the good china, or try dimming the lights and dining by candlelight.

19. During dinner, talk about the health benefits of various foods on your plate. Before they eat something, my kids will often ask, "What does this food do for my body?" And then we explain in regard to the specific food. This may require you to do some research in advance (or as a family) so that you are familiar with the vitamin and nutrient contents of your favorite meals.

20. Turn off the TV and radio and dial up the conversation. If your kids aren't talking or they're bickering, distract them by asking about their favorite part of the day. Everyone gets a turn, and you get a peaceful mealtime. You might enjoy it so much that you will want to celebrate breakfast together, too.

Issues With Food - Improving a Young Person's Relationship With Healthy Eating

Our relationship with food is very complex and has often many layers to it. A baby is usually given milk or a dummy when it cries, then as it becomes a child, sweet treats are often used as a bribe for good behaviour or for being quiet. Children learn to put something in their mouth as a soother.

Then in later years, eating everything on our plate is regarded as a sign of good manners, appreciation for what we have been given. Leaving food uneaten is seen as waste and a bad thing. In families that have had experience of war years and rationing, or had financial hardship, the message to eat everything and waste nothing is often reinforced repeatedly. It becomes a core value in our lives.

Healthy Casseroles

Then comes the other side of the spectrum. Appearance comes into the equation, being slim and looking good. Having spots or bad skin, being too fat and unathletic or too thin and skinny all contribute to a young person being singled out for negative attention. This happens with both young boys and girls and can have a major impact on personal confidence and self belief. Children tend to want to fit in and be the same as everyone else. This is why uniform brands are so popular - they help form a group bonding mentality.

Many young people do not have the skills or resources to confidently deal with negative attention. They may find that their friends disappear for fear of being picked on too, and so they can become isolated and feel alone. Some schools and colleges provide counselling services for this very situation and this can provide an invaluable lifeline for young people.

In other situations the young person may feel that they have no one to talk to. If the home situation is difficult and parents are splitting up or are working long hours, they may not want to add to the burden and so keep their problems and concerns to themselves. Even young people with very supportive home lives may feel that any problems that they have are their responsibility and that they should be able to cope themselves.

Mealtimes too are often erratic. Many families do not even own a dining table and many people, of all ages, eat on demand and find their own meals. Young people often do not know how to cook or are not prepared to spend the time preparing a balanced, healthy meal when heating a pizza quickly in the microwave or making a couple of slices of toast will suffice. Fast food and takeaways are quick and fairly cheap options too.

So, what can be done, as a parent or carer, to teach young people how to take better care of themselves and move away from high fat, sugar and salt options:

- Plan meals a week ahead. Put the planner on the kitchen wall chart so that each menu can be seen clearly and everyone knows what is available to eat.

- Have a big cooking session once a week and bulk prepare healthy freezable meals, that can be quickly re heated in the microwave. Lasagne, cottage pie, casseroles, are winter favourites with many young people.

- Make cooking fun

- Try to have a family meal once in the week and on a Sunday. They are a good way of touching base as a family and are also a way of noticing if anyone seems to be having personal problems.

- Let each member of the family take it in turns to suggest a meal that they would like to eat. Involve them in preparing it.

- Have sugar foods as an occasional treat, interspersed with fruit and other healthier options.

Making food more fun and less stressful can provide an important lesson in a young persons lifetime relationship with food. As such, it becomes more comfortable, healthy and balanced.

Chicken Wild Rice Casserole - The Perfect Meal on Wheels!

"Of course, I'd love to bring a meal." This statement comes out of a southern woman's mouth as quickly as "Bless your heart!" We bring meals for every occasion... birth of a child, sickness, funerals, moving into a new home, beginning a new job... the list is limitless. Even if you don't like to cook, develop one or two recipes as your "meal on wheels" when an occasion arises. I have found that Chicken Wild Rice Casserole is my favorite "to go" recipe. I usually keep the ingredients on hand so that my prep time does not include a trip to the grocery store. This recipe also lends itself to doubling the ingredients... You might as well feed your family also! If you really want to be prepared, make two casseroles and freeze them.

"Bonus meals" in your freezer will bless your family and impress your friends.

Chicken Wild Rice Casserole

6 - 8 Chicken Breasts

1 c. Water

1 c. White Cooking Wine

1/2 c. Margarine

1 (8oz.) package sliced Mushrooms

1/2 c. Celery, chopped

1/2 t. Salt

1/2 t. Curry

1 (8 oz.) Sour Cream

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

2 boxes of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice

Shredded cheddar cheese

Boil chicken in water, white wine, salt and curry. Cook rice according to package directions except use half each stock and water. Chop chicken. Cook celery and mushrooms in margarine. Mix all ingredients. Top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes.

Tip: As you mix the casserole, make sure that it has a moist consistency. Extra water may be added to achieve the desired result. Casserole freezes well.

Speed Tip: If time does not permit cooking the chicken, omit the first step. Buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and chop. When cooking the rice, use one can of chicken broth as a portion of the water to give added flavor to the casserole.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as you minister to others!

The Importance Of Eating Breakfasts Everyday

There are many different types of breakfasts that are healthy and taste good. You can eat healthy recipes for breakfast that actually taste good and not like cardboard like some healthy foods. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You should always eat breakfast before you leave for work or school. If you are hungry you will not be able to concentrate on your work.

There are some easy recipes that don't take long to cook. Mornings are usually pretty hectic when you are trying to get ready for work and get the kids ready for school while trying to cook breakfast. Eggs are a good breakfast food because they don't take long to cook and most people love eggs.

Healthy Casseroles

You can cook eggs a lot of different ways such as boiled, scrambled, fried, or pouched. You can also try simple recipes like cheese omelets, eggs Benedict, or even recipes like french toast or pancakes. Most of these recipes are quick and easy to make.

If you have young children they usually like pretty simple things for breakfast like cheese toast, cereal, or even instant oatmeal. If you have time to make grits or oatmeal that is great but if you don't then you can always make instant grits and oatmeal. If you make the instant kind you can add your own special touch such as cinnamon, strawberries, or granola.

Breakfasts should be healthy so make sure you have a glass of orange juice or milk to drink with your breakfast. If you are in a bit of a hurry and can not sit down to have breakfast you still need to eat healthy. You can grab individual bottles or juice to take along with you and a granola bar or even a biscuit to eat on the way.

Of course it is much better to sit down and have your breakfast but the way our world is to day everything is fast paced. Just because we have to rush to do everything doesn't mean we can't eat a healthy meal while on the run. If you know that your morning is going to be hectic you could make a breakfast casserole the night before so that you can just stick it in the oven the next morning.

If you plan on having pancakes the next morning for breakfast you could mix the batter the night before so that all you have to do is pour it into the skillet and fry them up. Any short cuts you can make will save you time and saving time is always a good thing.

It seems that we just never have enough time in the mornings no matter how early we get up. Try to make sure that everything you need for the morning is set out the night before. This will help cut down on the rushing you have to do every morning. You could try looking online for fast and easy breakfast recipes that you can try in the mornings.

The Importance Of Eating Breakfasts Everyday

Eggs can play an important part of a healthy meal and are perfect for breakfast. They are also a main ingredient in many healthy recipes and for good reason too! Don't forget to buy eggs on your next trip to the grocery market.

Light and Healthy Recipe for Chicken Breast Strudel With Spinach

Phyllo dough makes the best meals and this recipe is no exception. Chicken breast combined with fresh spinach ensconced in phyllo makes a great easy entree. Or it is great for the buffet table or with snacks for game watching. And the best part? Only around 250 calories per slice/serving. What a deal!

CHICKEN BREAST STRUDEL

1 cup chopped onion

8 cups chopped fresh spinach

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and chopped

3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 egg

1 tbsp lemon juice, optional

1/4 tsp salt, optional

1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper

2 cloves of garlic, minced

8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1 tbsp butter

1/4 tsp paprika

Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saute for approximately 5 minutes until tender. Stir in the fresh spinah and cook for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilt, stirring constantly. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the chicken, Swiss cheese, egg, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic. Stir to mix well.

Repeat the procedure until you have used three more sheets of dough and three more tablespoons of the bread crumbs. Gently press the layers together.

Place 2 1/2 cups of the chicken and spinach mixture along 1 of the long edge of the top phyllo sheet, leaving a half-inch border. Starting at the long edge with the half-inch border, roll up the dough jelly roll style. Place seam side down on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Tuck the ends under.

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Melt the butter and brush half over each of the strudels. Sprinkle each with half the paprika.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing to serve.

Suggestion: Cut each strudel into 4 pieces making 8 servings. Each serving is approximately 250 calories, 24 g protein and 19 g carbs.

Healthy Cabbage Goulash Recipe

This cabbage goulash includes apples, raisins and polish sausage to give a variety of flavors and nutrients. Cabbage is a nutrient dense seasonal food to add to your diet in the fall and winter. It is rich in vitamins K and C, fiber, manganese and B vitamins.

Cabbage is just one of the many cruciferous vegetables that we need to include in our diet. Eaten regularly, several times a week, cruciferous vegetables reduce the risk of lung, colon, breast, bladder and ovarian cancers. Just 3-5 servings a week will prevent these cancers. One cup is a serving. Other cruciferous vegetables are broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kale.

Healthy Eating for Families: 20 Quick and Easy Dinnertime Tips

By the end of any given weekday, we have packed lunches, kissed foreheads, gone to work, driven carpool all over town, and now...now it is time to cook dinner.
Here are twenty quick and easy dinnertime tips that can also make for magical family memories.

1. Have lots of fresh vegetables on hand. I love putting out a plate of veggies for my kids to snack on before dinner. Anything that's still on the plate at dinnertime is simply placed alongside our other choices on the dinner table.

2. While you are at the supermarket, pick up some fresh herbs. These take no time at all to throw in to virtually any recipe, but they make all the difference in the flavor of your food. It is especially nice to have fresh basil, mint, and cilantro on hand.

3. Teach your kids about the balance of food on their plate. Discuss how many food groups are represented. To make this more fun, we ask our kids if they are eating a square meal with all four food groups. And if not, is it a triangle, (three food groups), a line (two food groups), or a dot (one food group)? Thinking of their choices in this way helps my young kids to visualize their choices and to strive for a square with each meal.

4. Hang a dry erase board on the wall or the refrigerator with each family member's name. Beside their name, they can write the number of fruits and vegetables or make a note of the healthy choices they made that day.

5. Don't assume your kids want or need fattening spreads or sugary sweeteners to dress up their food. Two of my children actually prefer toast without butter, waffles without syrup, and salad without dressing.

6. Chop vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower in a food processor, and add it to soups, pasta sauce, chili or stews.

7. Be a good example. The more healthy foods you eat, the more likely your kids will be to eat it, too (eventually).

8. Use the slow cooker. Often, there are times during the day that are less hectic than the dinner hour. Choose a time that is less hassled and make a quick crock-pot recipe. My kids love to help add ingredients to the slow cooker.

9. Make a casserole. Cooking Light magazine features some wonderful quick dinnertime or make-ahead casserole recipes (also available online at CookingLight.com.) Casseroles can be a great place to sneak in even more veggies.

10. Use the electric indoor grill. I use mine to take chicken from frozen to the table in less than 20 minutes. And then I grill vegetables in 5 minutes. Everything tastes so fresh, healthy and delicious. I don't know what I ever did without mine.

11. Create a Bar. My kids love sandwich bars, pasta bars, taco bars, and potato bars. Put out the essentials and some healthy fillings and toppings, and you have a great meal where everyone is in control of what they eat.

12. Delivery! We love pizza, and many places (especially the more gourmet pizza restaurants) now feature healthy choices, featuring pizzas loaded with fresh vegetables. We order a veggie pizza and one with just cheese, just in case the kids aren't in the mood for spinach on their pie.

13. There's more to take-out than the traditional fatty fast food fare. Find a few restaurants that offer quick, healthy take out. There certainly is no shame in ordering food to go.

14. Involve your children in the cooking and baking process. Focus on creating positive memories before, during, and after mealtime. This can be a fun time of togetherness, so ask yourself: what would make it more enjoyable for your family members? For example, you might let your kids play their favorite music while they help you prepare dinner, make the salad or set the table.

15. Involve your children in the grocery shopping. Let them read labels with you and help you to make healthy decisions for the family.

16. Make meals a family affair. Family meals are tremendously important. Not only will you be more conscious of what kinds of foods your children are eating, but it will make a ritual out of the family mealtime, which may help to discourage unhealthy snacking before meals.

17. Drink only milk or water with dinner. Soda and other sugary beverages can fill up your kids with empty calories, leaving less room for the good stuff.

18. Demonstrate your reverence for the peaceful family dinner by initiating special rituals even for everyday occasions. Eat on the good china, or try dimming the lights and dining by candlelight.

19. During dinner, talk about the health benefits of various foods on your plate. Before they eat something, my kids will often ask, "What does this food do for my body?" And then we explain in regard to the specific food. This may require you to do some research in advance (or as a family) so that you are familiar with the vitamin and nutrient contents of your favorite meals.

20. Turn off the TV and radio and dial up the conversation. If your kids aren't talking or they're bickering, distract them by asking about their favorite part of the day. Everyone gets a turn, and you get a peaceful mealtime. You might enjoy it so much that you will want to celebrate breakfast together, too.

Beat the Winter Weight Gain Blues

If you struggle with keeping your weight constant during the colder winter months, you aren't alone. A national nutritional survey (Australian 1995) showed we typically eat more comfort foods, chocolates and desserts, during the colder months. And this means taking in more calories and fat, and an increased risk of gaining weight. By watching carefully winter weight, it will be much easier to shed one or two extra pounds when temperatures warm up in the spring.

So, how can we warm up with food during winter without compromising our health? The allure of hot chocolate drinks, toasted marshmallows and hot pies are just about too much to resist on a chilly winter's day. Choosing your 'comfort' foods wisely and watching portion sizes is key to preventing winter weight gain.

Healthy Casseroles

The concept of winter 'comfort' foods and healthy foods may not be one that we are used to putting together in the same sentence. However, it is possible to warm up with winter foods and still make healthy choices. According to the Dietitians Association of Australia, comfort foods need not be high in fat or calories. Try nourishing comfort foods like porridge with reduced-fat milk and fruit, chunky vegetable and lentil soups, and slow-cooked casseroles make with lean meat and vegetables like potato and carrot.

Keeping up activity levels is also key during winter months to avoid extra pounds. Dietitians recommend planning to avoid the traps of inactivity during colder or raining days and to divert yourself from the temptation of choosing comfort foods high in calories and low in nutrients. Using the following tips may just make spring a whole lot easier for you to lose those extra (unwanted) pounds.

Turkey and Rice Casserole With Fresh Mushrooms, Broccoli and Cheese

What to do with the leftover turkey at Christmas and Thanksgiving? Why not use it to make a healthy and delicious turkey casserole? Winter is just the right time for home-made, slow baked, old-style cottage comfort food. Even after stuffing ourselves we still yearn for hearty, earthy food made from fresh ingredients, like turkey, wild rice and harvest vegetables. This is a delicious casserole that can be put together any time of year. Whole turkeys are generally inexpensive and roasting one during the summer can mean putting together a number of different dishes, everything from sandwiches, to salads, soups to this casserole which is enough to make a meal or be an excellent side dish.

This delicious casserole combines turkey with two types of rice, sauteed mushrooms, broccoli, carrots and celery. Well seasoned, the meat and vegetables are combined with a wine and cheese sauce, and baked to a golden brown finish. Cooking the rice takes about a half hour, and could be done in advance, even the night before. The casserole can be finished under the broiler for a minute or two, if desired.
