It's easy, inexpensive, fun, healthy and is always different; a plus in my book!The only work involved is making the salad ingredients salad-friendly (cutting them to bite size) and if you want meat and aren't using leftovers, you'll need to cook the meat. Thinly slice or chunk up meats, shred cheeses and carrots, thinly slice or chunk up vegetables... the main thing is to get them bite sized and how you like them. A lot of items are already prepared such as nuts, thawed peas, shredded cheeses, croutons (unless you make your own!), and dried fruits.You can use whatever you have on hand that sounds good to go in a salad, including leftovers (great way to save money). Almost anything goes for salads nowadays, so be creative. After mak

Low Fat Cooking
2007-04-04 17:27:00
by Sandra GarthA Little Goes a Long WayIt is unwise and unhealthy to think of eliminating all fat from your diet. Eating would become a bland and boring pastime. Just as an engine needs oil to run, so do our bodies. The challenge is to keep the fat to a minimum and to obtain it from healthy sources. This recommendation is not only for those seeking to shed a few pounds but also for overall health and well-being. Studies suggest that keeping dietary fat to 30% or less daily, reduces the risk of heart disease, certain types of cancer and diabetes. As little as a tablespoon a day will keep your body operating efficiently.Facts About FatFat is king when it comes to calories. It weighs in at a whopping nine calories per gram. Carbohydrates and protein only carry four calories per gram. Since some dietary fat is necessary, it’s wise to know which ones are best. It’s no secret that there are good and bad fats. The easy way to figure which is which is by eyesight. If fat is solid at room t

The choices include rump, scotch fillet, porterhouse, eye fillet and T-bone as the main premium cuts generally eaten. The beef’s grading will come down largely to marbling and maturity of the meat.

By Jill SIf you’re hosting Easter
this year, I’d like to share a few tips with you that have helped me keep my sanity when I have hosted this holiday.1. Cook and bake as many dishes as you can in advance. I have an Easter baking recipe that I share with you below that is easy and can be done up to a week in advance. I highly recommend baking your Easter desserts the day before. It really helps me cut down on the stress on Easter day.2. Organize your kitchen into baking/cooking stations the night before. I know this might sound crazy but I have found it helps me whenever I am making a holiday meal. I put out all of the ingredients for each Easter recipe that do not need to be refrigerated. I put the recipe out and put all of the ingredients that go into that recipe right next to it, along with any pans or measuring cups or spoons I may need for it. I also try to organize them from longest to shortest cooking time so that I know what to start with first.3. Select the Easter recipes t

All About Eggs - Fried, Scrambled, Boiled?
2007-04-10 15:16:00
by Mary SantiniWe use eggs all the time but have you ever wondered how long you can safely store them? How can you tell if they are fresh? What do the different sizes mean in relation to your recipe? How do you make the perfect hard boiled egg, fried egg or scrambled egg?Did you know that the bigger and older the chicken the bigger the egg? Eggs come in six sizes but only the largest four are sold in grocery stores: jumbo, extra-large, large, medium. Most recipes call for large eggs but what if you typically buy one of the other sizes—how does that effect your recipe? When your recipe calls for large quantities of eggs you can substitute a different size by taking into account the weight:Egg Size / Weight: Medium / 1.75 ounces; Large / 2.00 ounces; Extra-Large / 2.25 ounces; Jumbo / 2.50 ounces.So what does this mean? Well, 4 jumbo eggs (2.5 oz each) is equivalent to 5 large eggs (2 oz each).Storage:Eggs degrade faster from improper storage than from age. Don’t use the egg tray on

Healthy Recipes – Jerky Stir Fry A Great Tasting 15 Minute Healthy Dinner

The following recipe is for two, but can easily be modified to feed more or less depending on your needs.My work schedule was such that I couldn’t really get home before seven PM so I had to prepare dinner quickly so there would be plenty of time for it to digest before I had to go to bed. Going to bed on a full stomach never really worked out for me and it is not good for someone trying to lose weight or keep it off. So this light meal has to be made in a sequence that will allow it to be ready in fifteen minutes.

by Diane WatkinsThe current crisis in our pet food supply has many of us looking for homemade dog food recipes for our beloved pets. I have been cooking for our dog for many years and find that he likes mostly the same foods that we do. Each animal has his own preferences, just like we do. For instance, our Oscar will not eat tomatoes, but Bonnie loves them. Use these recipes as a starting place for homemade dog food recipes. Then, as you discover your pets preferences you can customize them more. One caution: you should not serve onion or chocolate to dogs as they contain substances that can be toxic to dogs.Some veterinarians prefer raw meat for our pets. I prefer to cook the meat because of concerns over E Coli and other bacterial contamination. If you wish to use raw meat, do not use ground meat. The grinding process increases the possibility of contamination by providing more surface area for the bacteria to grow.Canine Meat and Grain Menu 2 cups cooked brown rice2/3 cup Lean beef

It is one of the most wonderful taste combinations, chocolate and strawberries, or chocolate and pineapple.Making chocolate covered fruit is not only simple but also very elegant looking when preparing desserts for guests.The simplest way to make chocolate covered fruit is to buy chocolate chips and melt them down. I buy both brown chocolate and white chocolate. I’ll buy either chips or bars and then melt them over a very low fire.All fruit must be dry before dipping. If you wash the fruit, make sure to paper towel off the water, so that when you dip, the fruit is dry.I line a cookie sheet with waxed paper and after dipping transfer the fruit to the waxed paper. I then chill in the refrigerator.Mix and match strawberries, pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, apples and pears. I’ve also dipped dried food to add to the platter I’m mak

I think that the difficulty of finding the green tomatoes is the reason that this recipe has been ignored for so long. Hopefully you have a pick your own fruit farm nearby. Be sure to tell the farmer that you want green tomatoes before you begin picking, he may direct you to a different area.

Ten Tips For Using Your Crockpot

by Audrey OkanekoYou'll find ten tips in this article to make your crockpot cooking come out perfect every time.In today’s busy world, more and more people are using crockpots to prepare the families evening meal. I know some folks who have two crockpots. They use the large one to prepare meats or poultry and they use the small one to prepare side dishes and desserts.There are many tips to make using your crockpot even easier:1. Don’t lift the lid to take a peak. I have read over and over that if you do lift the lid, you need to add 20 minutes cooking time.2. Vegetables and potatoes take longer to cook in a crockpot. It’s always suggested that you place potatoes and vegetables on the bottom, layering the meat and sauces on the top.3. Regular milk can curdle in the crockpot due to long cooking times. Consider using either canned milk, or adding the milk during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Since you’ll be lifting the lid, add a bit of cooking time to the recipe directions.4.
Three Great Enchiladas From One Basic Recipe

John T Jones, Ph.D.Enchiladas
are good but a little variety helps. Here is how to make chicken, steak, and cheese enchiladas all at the same time. Oh, did I forget pork?Meat SelectionBeef: I like steak enchiladas but you need good beef that is tender and flavorful. Some of the restaurants around here use ground meat in their enchiladas. These are the restaurants I never visit twice.When I first started working as an engineer in Colorado (about a zillion years ago), an old industrial engineer told me this: Never buy a breaded piece of meat!He went on to say that any old piece of meat could be breaded and you just don’t know what you are getting. It could be as old as the hills, unrefrigerated, contaminated, dropped on the floor and stepped on, or fetched out of the grease trap as far as you know.The same goes for ground meat. Who knows it’s real history? In enchiladas it gives the wrong texture and the wrong flavor.So buy a good piece of beef. You don’t need much because there are
