3 Recipes To a Healthy Dinner.

 There are many recipes that can help you to prepare healthy dinner for your family. Some are very easy to make and delicious even if they are not cooked by master chef.

1.    Shell pasta with salmon and spinach



Salmon Pasta with Spinach is a deliciously easy pasta recipe with chunks of tender salmon and spinach in a scrumptious, creamy Parmesan sauce!

You've come to the correct place if you're seeking for a quick and delicious one-pot salmon dinner! This Salmon Pasta with Spinach recipe is a family favorite in my house, and I'm sure it will be in yours after you try it. In less than 30 minutes, you'll have a delicious meal!

 

Ø  SALMON SELECTION GUIDE

The USDA mandates all retailers to declare product origins and production (farm-raised or wild-caught) for seafood under the Country of Origin Labeling regulation. Choose wild-caught salmon that seems moist rather than dried out when shopping for salmon, as moisture content is a good sign of freshness and how properly the fish was handled. Avoid pale-looking fish and look for vivid pink colors.

 

Ø  WHAT KIND OF PASTA SHOULD YOU USE?  

Your favorite! Use whichever type of pasta you like and have on hand. My favorite pastas are penne, fettuccine, campanelle, ziti, and rigatoni. I would avoid minimal pasta variations like orzo, stortini, ditalini, and so on. They're ideal for soups.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT KIND OF SPINACH TO USE?

Fresh baby spinach is usually a good choice. Is it delicate and delicious? The leftovers can always be frozen. Smoothies, such as this Spinach Smoothie or this Cherry-Spinach Smoothie, can be made with the leftovers.

I avoid store-bought frozen spinach bags since they contain a lot of spinach stems, have an odd texture, and have a strange odor.

Ingredients:

50g of smoked salmon, 100g shell pasta, boil in salted water for 7 minutes or until al dente, 2 finely chopped tomatoes (if you like), 8 leaves fresh Spinach, 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt and pepper to taste

 

Ø  How to make Salmon and Spinach Pasta:

1. Cook pasta rendering to the package instructions. Meanwhile, sauté the onion in butter over medium heat for 4-5 minutes.

2. Add the salmon and keep cooking for another 5-7 minutes, breaking it into flakes as it cooks.

3. Add the spinach and cook it for 1-2 minutes, until wilted.

4. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper. Mixing and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Add the cooked pasta and chopped parsley. Mix everything together thoroughly

6. Garnish with parsley and grated Parmesan. Serve.

Your filling and delicious dinner is ready! Now it's time to pour a glass of white and enjoy the dish. You weren't drinking while cooking, were you?

 

2. Fish cooked with vegetables and bread



It is very nice and delicious. It is really cool to make, although you need patience–it takes some time for all the ingredients are cooked. This recipe won't disappoint you, and your family will love it!

Ingredients:

Ø  For the fish fillets:  4 fresh or frozen whitefish fillets (fresh is best), 3 slices of bread, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped carrot, 1 finely chopped green bell pepper, salt and pepper to flavor.

You will need some vegetables for this recipe: a few sliced tomatoes, some fresh spinach and a finely chopped onion.

2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper 3 cups of water (or more if needed)

 

Ø  How to make Fish with Vegetables: 

1. Defrost the fish fillets in your fridge overnight before cooking. If you use frozen fish fillets.

Ingredients: 1 whole fish of about 2 lb (1 kg), sea salt, 3-4 slices of wholemeal bread that have dried

out, a handful of chopped fresh parsley and dill, 1 finely chopped onion, 2-3 tablespoons olive oil.

2. Prepare the fish by cutting around it at the stomach; wash with cold water (inside out) and remove all the insides.

Step three: Prepare a large bowl filled with cold water to chill your fish (to keep it from spoiling),

Step four: Place your fish in the bowl and leave it for 15-20 minutes. This will help remove any remaining blood, ready for you to clean up.

3. After removing the insides, rinse again with fresh water (inside out) so that all of the unwanted items are removed and clean.

4. Place the cleaned fish in a frying pan and add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil; then season with salt to taste (about 2 teaspoons). While your fish is cooking, prepare the filling for it by chopping up all your vegetables and mix everything together.

5. When the skin side is cooked, carefully turn your fish to cook the other side.

6. You can tell the fish is done when it becomes white and you feel that it flakes easily with a fork; if the fish does not flake or feels hard, then continue cooking for another few minutes. If you add too much oil in your frying pan, don't worry -- just pour some out and save the rest for later (you can use it while preparing a certain recipe).

 

Ø  How to make Dill and bread stuffing: 

1. Spread out your dried slices of bread in a wide frying pan and sprinkle with olive oil over medium heat until golden brown; add chopped onions, parsley and dill 2. Keep stirring constantly so that all the bread gets evenly golden brown.

2 tablespoons olive oil  1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1-2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly 4-6 medium fresh tomatoes, diced Salt and pepper to taste (about 2 teaspoons)

 

Ø  How to make Fried Tomatoes:

   1. Cut the tomatoes into thin slices or wedges (both ways are good!). 

Place the cooking oil in a container and place it in your fridge (This will make it last longer). Clean your frying pan and use that same olive oil for cooking your fish with vegetables mix .

If you don't have bread left, then prepare some chunks of potato instead; slice them into small pieces and prepare in a frying pan until golden brown.

Prepare the remaining vegetables (cut into thin slices or diced). When the fish is done, put your vegetable mixture on top of it and place in an oven preheated to 350F for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven when ready; add salt to taste, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and serve hot.

You can also use your homemade fried bread chunks or potato instead of the fish fillets for this recipe. This will give you a good idea on how to make stuffed peppers at home.

This is a pretty easy way to get your family to eat their vegetables without even knowing it.

 

3) "Unexpected Leftovers"

When you wake up one morning and realize that there is no food in your fridge, don't stress and go out immediately to get something. This happened to me once a few years ago and I had to think fast.  It turned out that I had some bagel left from the day before (my son never eats it) and I started to imagine how I could use it.  After a few minutes of thinking, I came up with the most delicious recipe that would make any breakfast easy to prepare.

I call this unexpected leftovers because you can use any bread for this recipe as long as you have some tomato sauce in your fridge left over from making pasta the night before.

 

Ø  What you will need: Bagel or bread of any kind 2 tablespoons tomato sauce  1 pinch salt (optional) Leftover cooked rice, chicken, fish and vegetables of your choice.

 

Ø  How to make it: Toast your bread in a frying pan until golden brown on both sides (or if you forgot to do this earlier, just place it in the oven). Spread the tomato sauce on top of each slice.

 

Place your cooked rice, chicken, fish, or vegetables on top of that and sprinkle with salt if desired.  Then you can put cheese slices on top to melt (if you have them) and serve hot with a glass of milk for breakfast.Are you extrembly repent on your healthy fat. Check  reducing pills .

Don't you just love those recipes that come to you in a flash when you are desperate for something to eat? 

This is one of my favorite recipes because it is so healthy and tasty.  I hope you like these 3 recipes as much as I do; until next time -- stay happy and healthy!

Cook At Home For Healthier Food Options

One great advantage of cooking your own meals instead of buying ready prepared food is that you can control what ingredients are used. If you are health conscious or trying to control your weight it pays to create menus and cook the food yourself, using fresh ingredients and low fat options. Typically, processed or ready made meals will contain ingredients that you may not want to include in your diet. Also a wide variety of additives are used in processed foods. These have been known to have detrimental effects on the health of some people. In order to create more flavour in their meals processed food manufacturers often add far greater amounts of sugar, salt and fat than you would use when preparing the same dish at home. Preparing your own food at home gives you total control over what you eat, giving your body a better chance of greater health.

F Is For Fruit

  F is for fruit, and also for five a day.  In order to stay healthy it is recommended that we eat five portions a day of fruit or vegetables.  Many people use breakfast as an opportunity to have their first portion, with fruit forming part of their breakfast meal.  Just fruit, fruit on cereal, or even smoothies are all palatable at this time of the day. Mixed varieties of fruit are often eaten in desserts in dishes such as fruit salad, which is healthier than fruit cocktail as this is made from canned fruit and includes added sugar, syrup and many additives that preserve the canned fruit.  Fruit salad is made from fresh fruit and the fruits natural juices, although some people do sprinkle suagr into the mix but it really is not needed. To make your own fruit salad follow the steps: Choose any varieties of fruit you would like, cut them into bite sized pieces, put them in a bowl and add a little water or fruit juice.  You really don’t need a lot of liquid.  I usually put mine into th

It is so simple to make and will impress your guests or family.  Follow the suggestion to cook mushroom: Chop slivers of bacon and sprinkle them over the top before cooking.  Mushrooms are so versatile they have a variety of uses in cooking, from raw sliced mushroom in salads to tasty additions to stews and casseroles.  There are also a wide variety of mushrooms available with different tastes and textures.   Things beginning with M that are not automatically thought of when considering food and eating include: maid of honour, a small tart whose base is made of creamed butter, sugar, egg, salt and baking powder and filled with a variety of ingredients including flavoured milk curds, and jams mixed with cherries or almonds, marigold, both petals and leaves should be eaten, in particular added to salads such as purslane, cucumber and marigold salad – add chopped leeks, basil and any other herbs you have that suit your taste, lemon or lime juice, olive oil and salt
