Recipes for Healthy Eating
This page lists some great recipes, for healthy eating, that are simple
and easy to prepare. I have been using these recipes during my weight
loss
journey and there delicious! Some of them I have created myself.
Green
Fig Salad
Ingredients
1-2 green fig aka banana
Grape tomatoes
Turkey or breast
2-3 handful Baby Spinach
Method
To reduce its mass, I toast the baby spinach in the toaster oven for
about 2-3 minutes. That way the spinach is cooked and less bulky. Peel
the green fig aka banana and put them in a pot of water to boil.
When the figs are cooked, remove from the water and place in a bowl to
cool. When the figs are cool, thinly slice them.
I bought some turkey breast from the grocery store
and found it to be very salty so I emptied all the boxes of the turkey
breast into a bowl and poured some hot water of the meat. After about
10 minutes, I threw out the water. I repeated these steps twice. I then
put the turkey breast in the toaster to dry up the excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, add the toasted baby spinach,
grape tomatoes (I love these, could just easily pop one in my mouth),
turkey breast and sliced figs, mix everything together.

Spinach
Omlet
Ingredients
2-3 handful Baby Spinach
1 Egg
Salt
3 grated garlic cloves
Method
To reduce its mass, I toast the baby spinach in the toaster oven for
about 2-3 minutes. That way the spinach is cooked and less bulky. In a
mixing bowl, crack the egg, salt and grated garlic. Wisp everything
together. Dab a piece of paper towel with some olive oil and wipe the
base of a frying pan. Allow the pan to heat and add the egg mixture.
The bottom part of the egg will begin cook and turn white, add the
toasted baby spinach. After about 3 minutes, turn the omelet over and
allow the other side to cook.
Another vegetable is red sweet peppers. A fun way
is to thinly cut the pepper on the vertical side and then I toast them
in the toaster oven.

Turkey
Wraps
Ingredients
Turkey or Chicken breast slices
Pachoy
Dry herbs
Method
I always make an
effort to keep either turkey or/and chicken breast slices in my
refrigerator. They are quite convenient and the serving of about 6
slices is only 45 calories! So what I do is place about four slices of
the turkey slices overlaping each other, on a plate. Then break off
three leaves of pachoy, wash them and remove the white stem. I remove
the stem because I think they will pierce the turkey slices as they are
so thin. Place the pachoy on top of the turkey slices and then gently
fold turkey slices.
Place a piece of foil on the tray of the toaster
oven and place the turkey wraps in the tray. Sprinke a bit of dry herbs
over the wraps and place the tray into the toaster oven. Allow the
turkey wraps to cook for about 20 minutes. I enjoy these, they are
really good.
Update: As much as I enjoy these wraps, I have to
stop
using these turkey slices. I was ignorant to the fact that these deli
slices contain salt. I even stop using the canned tuna for the same
reason. I will have to make some kind of creation stuffing chicken
breast.

Roasted Ochro
Ingredients
1 dozen ochros
salt
black pepper
olive oil
Method
Clean the ochros and cut off as much of stem as possible. Do
not cut off the top of the ochros. Cutting off the top of the
ochros will expose the slime.
Sprinkle the ochros with salt, black pepper and olive oil.
Place in a baking tray. Put on the oven, allow to
hot. Place the baking tray with the season ochros into the
oven. Allow the ochros to roast for about 20 minutes.
Roasted Ochro is a simple and different way to prepare ochros.

Cheese, Mushroom and Pepper Quiche
Ingredients
1 basic pie crust
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
mushrooms
red sweet pepper
Method
The crust can be pre-made so you will have to pre-cook it before
cooking up the quiche. Just prick with fork generously and
cook at 425F for approximately 10 minutes.
Slice up about six mushrooms, finely chop a small piece of the sweet
pepper and roast for about 15 minutes. While that is going
on. Beat the eggs and milk together. Add some of
the cheese.
Pour into the cooled pre-cooked crust. Toss in the roasted
sweet pepper and mushrooms. Sprinkle the remainder of cheese
over the top. Bake in 350F oven for 35-40 minutes.
