Crock Pot Meals to Become Healthier

Another Slow Cooker Meal - Beef Braised with White Wine

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:17:00 +0000

Alright, we have another recipe for you to categorize under crock pot meals and this time we're getting fancy! This recipe is going to be beef that has been braised in a sweet white wine. It will take about 4 hours to make and is well worth the wait. Hold on to your taste buds and lets get started.

Crock Pot Meal Ingredients
3 to 4 medium onions, sliced
3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into smallish chunks
1 Tbsp of garlic, minced
3 Tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp of salt, or to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
1 cup of your choice of sweet wine. My preference is pinot grigio
2-3 pounds of beef brisket or chuck, preferably one piece of beef

First you will want to brown the brisket. To do this you will place 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet or pan that can fit the piece of meat. Place on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, approximately two minutes, add the beef to the skillet. You will want to brown the beef well on both sides and this should take about 10 minutes to do.

Second, season the meat with the salt and pepper. Place all of the vegetables and the beef into your Rival crock pot. Set the slow cooker to high and cook until the meat is tender (Approximately, 4 hours). **If you're going to cook it while you're at work or through the night, set the slow cooker on low. In about 8 or so hours the beef will be tender.

After the beef is cooked and tender, remove it from your slow cooker and rest the meat on a cutting board. It is important that you let the meat rest for up to ten minutes otherwise will risk drying out your meat that you spent hours waiting for it to cook in the crock pot.
Carve up the meat and be sure to save the juices in the crock pot for a sauce topping. Add some healthy sides such as green beans and rice and your taste buds will thank you!

Your Quick Vitamins Refresher

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:50:00 +0000

Vitamins are chemicals other than proteins, carbohydrates, fats and mineral salts that are essential constituents of the food of animals. Certain animals can synthesize certain vitamins and all animals needing vitamin D can manufacture it from the presence of U.V. They are essential to life, and with few exceptions can not be made by an animal's body, but must be supplemented in the diet. Vitamins are organic molecules that are necessary for normal metabolism in animals, but either is not synthesized in the body or is synthesized in inadequate quantities. Consequently, they must be obtained from the diet.

Vitamins are responsible for keeping cells strong, binding tissues, fighting infections, etc. Without vitamins our cells would not function properly and thus our organs would suffer and eventually we would no longer be able to survive. Vitamins and minerals are present in the food that we eat everyday in varying degrees depending on the type of food. Different types of foods give different types of vitamins. Vitamins regulate metabolism, help convert fat and carbohydrates into energy, and assist in forming bone and tissue.

Vitamins are classified as either water -soluble, meaning that they dissolve easily in water, or fat-soluble vitamins, which are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of lipids (which are essentially fats). In general, water-soluble vitamins are readily excreted from the body. Vitamins are organic substances that are essential for the proper growth and functioning of the body. Unlike protein, fat, and carbohydrates, vitamins provide no calories. While these molecules serve essentially the same role in all forms of life, higher organisms have lost the ability to synthesize vitamins.

Vitamins are organic molecules that function in a wide variety of capacities within the body. The most prominent function of the vitamins is to serve as cofactors for enzymatic reactions. Vitamins and minerals have a unique role to play in maintaining your health. For example Vitamin D helps your body absorb the amount of calcium (a mineral) it needs to form strong bones.

Vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, and folic acid are vital for proper fetal growth, development and healthy adult living. Vitamins and minerals boost the immune system; support normal growth and development, and help cells and organs do their jobs. For example, you've probably heard that carrots are good for your eyes. Your body uses these substances to stay healthy and support its many functions.

Vitamins are a vital part of a healthy diet. The RDA (recommended dietary allowance), which are the amounts healthy people need each day to remain healthy—has been determined for most vitamins. By enhancing your diet with vitamins or vitamin enriched foods such as vegetables, you will ensure that you are not deficient and have potential health side affects as a result.

Are Pure Protein Bars a Good Meal Replacement

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:08:00 +0000

For a nation that has one of the largest ratios of obese people there certainly is a large health and fitness industry to cater to that; I mean every six months there is a new diet plan or magic food which will "melt the fat away". Are all of the pure protein bars that claim you can eat to curb your hunger and also keep your carbohydrate intake much lower actually effective or just another food fad? Well what are protein bars and where did they come from?

History of Protein Bars

A protein bar in the past, tended to be marketed towards weight lifters who needed the extra protein for building strong muscles. Protein bars have gone main stream. No longer found solely in the bottom of bodybuilders’ gym bags, protein bars are now turning up in airplane snack carts, in gas stations, vending machines, party-stores, and even people’s desk drawer at the office.

The bars serve as a great snack or meal replacement. For some added protein, extra-energy or to help you fulfill your dieting needs these great protein bars come in all different shapes, sizes and flavors. These nutritional bars provide a complete meal or snack in a very convenient form for times during the day that you are unable to eat a complete, balanced whole-foods based meal. Whether your job requires you to travel a lot, you have a busy meeting schedule, or you are just too busy to prepare a nutritious meal, there are times that a quick meal in a "candy bar" form is very convenient to have available.

How the Market for Protein Bars has Changed

Consumer research shows that more and more Americans are eating on the go. As a result, convenient healthy snack options continue to be important. A protein bar is perfect for anyone on the go. Taste is also a very important part of choosing a protein bar. If the bar doesn't taste great, then you will not want to eat it. Don't worry about the bad taste of the "old school" bars. The new bars are much better in taste and quality than their ancestors! Protein bars contain a blend of vitamins and minerals to support overall health and many chemical processes in the body.

How the Protein Bars Can Help

Eating between meals is one of many ways to get fat. Eat meals which suit your lifestyle and your level of physical (in) activity. Eating properly is one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself.

Protein maintains muscles, and manufactures cells, enzymes, and hormones. Eating "three square meals a day" is an outdated philosophy, and eating less frequently is even more devastating. Effective weight loss calls for eating four or five small meals instead of one or two bigger ones and a protein bar can fit the bill for one of those smaller meals.

Crock Pot Meals using Rival Crock Pot

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:29:00 +0000

When I started this blog I wanted to be able to provide simple tips and recipes for people with a hectic life and not much time to cook let alone cook a healthy meal.

Over the next few weeks I intend to introduce some damn tasty and healthy meals that anyone can make in a short amount of time.

Obviously, by the title this post will introduce some of my most favorite crock pot meals that you can literally prepare in the morning before running off to work, turn it on and have a nice meal complete by the time you get home that night.

I personally would be lost without my crock pot, having made a ton of different meals with little to no time required. You don't have to be the Barefoot Contessa to be able to make mouth watering dishes with these slow cookers.

Rival Crock Pot is My Choice

To start off I want to provide a background on my culinary experience and the fun that I've had with crock pots, because the first couple that I tried just didn't seem to cook properly. There was always more burned food than edible. My personal favorite when it comes to slow cookers is by far the Rival Crock Pot. The inner bowl where the food is cooked is designed perfectly to minimize the burning that occurs as your food is simmering away in it.

As I stated before I'm pretty busy so when I am home, I just want to be about as lazy as I can and with the Rival crock pot it couldn't be easier. My meals typically consist of shopping for the ingredients, usually on the weekend; preparing the ingredients and then throwing them in the crock pot.

The Rival crockpot has digital controls so that I can indicate exactly how long I want the food to cook and even whether I want a high heat or a low heat for the food. The coolest thing is when your food is done cooking, the crock pot goes immediately to "warm mode" and it will keep the food warm without over cooking it until I am ready to sink my teeth into it.

Also, because I use a large crock pot I have enough food to last me nearly the entire week. **hint** Grab yourself some small plastic containers and you suddenly have your lunches at work!! Of course it is just my personal preference to use the Rival brand crock pot over others, as long as you get one you will never regret it!

On to the recipes now....

Crock Pot Meals - Chili

Now this is a basic chili crock pot meal. There is no meat in this one, but I'm sure you've realized you can get creative and add additional ingredients to really spice up the food.

Ingredients

1 lb dried pinto beans. Wash them thoroughly and soak in water overnight

1 medium size onion. Peel it and mince

1 fresh, hot chili pepper. Seed it and mince it. A dried pepper will work in a pinch

1 tsp of ground cumin

1 tsp minced fresh oregano leaves

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

Fresh cilantro, chopped

Combine all of your ingredients, except cilantro into the slow cooker. Cover all of the ingredients with water and put the lid on it. Set your crock pot on high and cook for 4 hours. Keep an eye on the mixture and if it appears to be getting too dry, add a little more water to the mix.

After cooking your ingredients for 4 hours on high, check to see if the pinto beans are tender. That’ll be your indication that the dish is done. Turn off the crock pot, garnish the meal with the chopped cilantro and you’re ready to eat.

You can always season the meal with more salt and/or pepper if you like. The recipe above was a vegetarian version of chili and you’re not required to stick to that. By all means brown some ground beef or chicken breast (chop up the chicken after cooked) in a pan and throw that into the crock pot with the beans after about 3 1/2 hours of cooking. You’re limited only by your imagination.

Cassoulet Crock Pot Meals

Ok now I'm throwing around big words now! What the heck is cassoulet? Cassoulet is a French word that basically means a slow cooked bean stew or casserole. Usually there is some kind of meat that is added to the stew and this is the reason I chose this recipe next; since its a step up on the first chili recipe I provided for you just above.

Ingredients

1/2 lb of navy beans. Wash them and lightly dry them off

1 medium onion, chopped

2 carrots, peeled and chopped

2 cups of canned, chopped tomatoes. If you want fresh, by all means use fresh tomatoes

1/4 lb of salt pork or slab bacon. Cube it into small cubes

4 links of Italian sausage

1 lb of boneless pork shoulder

2 chicken legs. If you feel like it you can replace chicken legs with duck legs

1/2 tsp of dried thyme

2 bay leaves

4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

1 Tbsp of minced garlic

Fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper, to flavor

Chicken stock. If you prefer, you can use low sodium chicken stock or just water.

In your crock pot, add the beans, cubed bacon, bay leaves, crushed garlic, onion, carrots and tomatoes. Fill the crock with the chicken stock. Be sure to cover all of the ingredients by at least two inches. Turn your crock pot on high.

In another pan you will need to brown the other meats, the pork shoulder, chicken legs and sausage. As the items have been browned place them into the crock pot, which should be heating up and simmering along pretty well now.

Place the lid on the crock pot and cook the ingredients on high for about 4 hours. Just like the first chili recipe, the meal is done when the beans are tender. At this point, add the mince garlic and add the salt and pepper to flavor. Garnish with the parsley and Voila, you're finished!

That is all of the crock pot meals that I'm going to have for today. The next posts will focus on slow cooker recipes that have more of a barbeque theme to them. Until then... happy cooking

Best Way to Lose Weight?

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:45:00 +0000

Can there really be only one best way to lose weight? In short, no there is no one single solution that will be successful for everyone.

Losing weight can be a daunting task for someone who has not ever had to seriously track what they are eating and what the basics of digestion are. Armed with that kind of knowledge, regular exercise and a strong desire to achieve your weight loss goals, you can be quite successful.

Calories determine fat loss. Calories are the amount of energy in the food you eat. Some foods have more calories than others. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will not lose fat, no matter what foods or food combinations you consume.

Obesity stems from the fact that more often than not the obese person consumes more calories then he/she expends. Obesity refers specifically to having an abnormally high proportion of body fat. It is the leading cause of many problems like coronary heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, liver and gall bladder disorders.

Muscle is our most metabolically active tissue. If we are losing muscle, our metabolism is lower, meaning our body does not need as much food energy as it did last year. Muscle burns more calories than fat, promoting a more efficient metabolism, which makes it easier to prevent weight gain.

Finding the fastest way to lose weight is not always the best solution. Diets that promote transient weight losses can do psychological harm. Few things are more discouraging than watching a 10- or 20-pound weight loss evaporate into a 2- or 3-pound loss. Diets that are too restrictive backfire with a vengeance. Crash diets can help you lose weight now, but most people gain the weight back. Some of these diets are also unhealthy and dangerous. Crash dieting is not the same as flexible intermittent fasting, where dieters fast for 2 days each week and calories are cycled. Generally the weight lost in a crash diet returns when normal eating resumes.

Exercises to Lose Weight Important Component

Exercise is a key component in any weight loss program, but it can be confusing to figure out how much you need and where to start. Exercising gets your juices flowing and helps speed up your metabolism. Interestingly, studies suggest that exercise may increase your appetite at first since you are burning more calories.

Eat the foods that will give you a high level of quality nourishment. LOTS of veggies, fruits, lean protein, whole grains and HEALTHY fats (olive oil, avocados, nuts, etc). Eat less and exercise more, and keep at it. In time, your body will readjust its set point to reflect the new reality you have imposed by constant struggle. Eating is a compulsion which can be controlled; allowing you see great benefits in your health.

Losing weight can also lower levels of triglycerides and even increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, referred to as "good" cholesterol. In addition, weight loss can help reduce the risk of osteoarthritis and gallstones. Losing weight can cost people some bone. It’s like the body decides the skeletons don’t have to be as strong when they have less load to carry. Losing weight more rapidly means losing water weight or muscle tissue, rather than fat.

The old adage of "knowledge is power" most definitely applies to taking off the pounds. Keep track of not just your overall calories but the types of calories, whether its protein, carbs or fats. And of course most importantly top off the nutrition with regular exercise at the gym or around your home.

Simple Tips For Losing Weight or Maintaining It

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 19:46:00 +0000

If you are no longer dealing with the metabolism of an active six year old, you've no doubt noticed that the weight seems to be packing on as you age and wondered what is the best way to lose weight. With all of the magical exercise machines or extreme diets with experimental roots, it seems getting in shape can be dangerous if you do not watch your step. Following you'll find some simple tips that will show very successful results and not require you to buy that new Bowflex for 24 payments of $100!!

Exercise at least 3 times a week for no less than 40 minutes. If you are able to walk every evening, do so. Exercising can help keep your metabolism up which would counter-act the effects of a slowed metabolism thanks to your eating less. Exercising is a simple preferred choice by many .

How to go about safe weight loss

What's the best way to loss weight? Dieting is a way to lose weight without damaging your body. Being overweight can cause numerous illnesses; high blood pressure issues, stroke, and diabetes are on the top of the list.

Dieting is very emotional and depends on motivation for success. If you're too strict, you will lose motivation. The diet, in this extreme, will just last for a few hours or days before caving then, right after having a full meal, the overeating rears its ugly bulging self again. But a fat stomach can be transformed into its prior flat and toned look if you start doing things the right way.

Exercise is important, but it isn’t the only or the most important component to weight loss. Instead think about exercise as a crucial activity that strengthens and tones your heart wellness, muscles, and body in order for it to be stronger and more capable for living. Exercises need not be unduly harsh and severe, but regular workout sessions will ensure desired results with in a month or two. Exercising is by far the best way to stay thin - it makes me feel sick when I hear about these people who think that eating less or watching their calorie intake is the ultimate solution. Obviously eating within reason should be looked into, but counting every celery stalk that one has eaten is extreme.

Dieters will not only lose weight at a moderate pace, but will be afforded the support and knowledge to keep the weight off. Dietary fat also provides transportation of Vitamins A, D, E and K and helps in the digestive process-- the bottom line is that it is important to consume foods that contain healthy fat! Yes there is such a thing!! The key is to choose the right kind of fat to consume.

Minimal Exercise is Important to your weight loss goals

Walking and swimming are good choices. If you're not used to a lot of activity even minor amounts of exercise can build muscle quickly. Obviously before undertaking any change in lifestyle from a sedentary, couch potato existance, you should consult your doctor about which activities are best for you. Build muscle strength and flexibility. More fast, intense workouts seem to do better after you have gotten into the workout rhythm once again

Sticking to a healthy diet and regular exercise is a lifetime commitment and you should not underestimate the ongoing support that you may need. Local support groups may be helpful, and your doctor or practice nurse will be able to help you find one. Stick to your plan- The best way to lose weight is to stick to whatever you are doing. One of the main reasons why many people never lose weight is simply due to the fact that they are not able to stick to a specific plan and give up too early. Sticking to a diet is hard. Temptations are everywhere you turn.

The BMI Calculation called me a Fat Ass!!

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 23:02:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

So did the BMI calculater tell you that your waist might be a bit larger than ideal? Did you get a rating of obese and don't agree with it? Well congratulations, you've taken that first step in identifying where you stand. The calculation is not meant to be the end all be all. This post will attempt to bring it into clearer light.

To help you to relate a bit better, I want to tell you of my own journey starting from when I first decided it was time to admit that my metabolism was not that of a seventeen year old who could eat fast food 6+ times a week. This decision was based on what I saw upon uploading pictures of me and my family up in gorgeous north Idaho this past summer.

What I saw was my beautiful sisters posing with some porker!! I was 5' 6" and weighed 190 pounds. I found out about the BMI calculation and of course out of curiosity I wanted to see how I ranked according to the chart. Well needless to say, I was completely shocked and even mortified when the results came back that I'm in the OBESE category!! I could see that I had a lot of extra weight building up on me...and even showing up in my face...it went from square shaped to round!

So after the initial shock of being called obese by a calculation, I did more research and found that, as I've mentioned quite often in the previous posts, calculating BMI is simple mile-marker of weight. It is simple because it only takes two factors into consideration, your height and weight. As some of great comments to my posts have also noted, if you have a lot of muscle(which is heavy) you can be categorized as over-weight and obese.

Now, on to how I used the BMI calculation to my advantage. After several weeks of procrastination, I finally put together a strategy to get back into the shape that would make me feel more confident in public and give me the courage to approach the ladies!

I completely overhauled my diet and and began simple workouts...which I would definitely recommend to those who have been away from the gym for any length of time. To make an already long story short, using the calculation for BMI I went from a 30.7 in November down to a 28.2 at the beginning of January! For those of you who are trying to think of the weight fluctuation of 15 pounds.

As you can see, I used the BMI calculation to show me the progress that I am making. In future posts, I will continue to add other ways in which you can use this mile-marker to your benefit. I would like to hear from you, please leave your comments. Whether you liked what you read or you hated it, I would like to hear and post your comments!!

BMI Calculation in Action

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:46:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

As mentioned in my previous posts, after having informed you of what the BMI calculation is and isn't, I've included in today's post a functioning calculator to determine your BMI for you. After using this tool you should then learn how to lower your BMI, increase your health and feel better over all. This could include more exercise or improving your nutrition.

The BMI Calculation...Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 23:05:00 +0000

Continuing the discussion on the BMI calculation from last week, I wanted to point out some caveats with the it that you must know to fully utilize the results you get from the formula. Body Mass Index(BMI) is a broad assessment of a person's weight. From it you can get a reasonable idea of whether you have a weight issue and the potential health issues that go along with being overweight, among other things higher blood pressure and a higher likelihood of getting diabetes.

With that being said there are things that can invalidate the BMI Calculation. It was created in the mid-nineteenth century and only became popular in its use here in the United States in the 1950s. Its primary function was as a statistical tool to help identify the sedentary individuals (that means the inactive populace) and give physicians a starting point to discussing the proper strategies to maintain health, regardless of whether is was an issue of being overweight or underweight. The BMI calculation is not meant to be a sole tool of diagnosis as it is too general of a method to be used on its own.

Other problems with the BMI calculater are that it is setup for use primarily by an average adult...That is, average for the time when it was implemented. So as a result there are some groups of people where this would not be very accurate in terms of categorizing them; such as very tall people or very short people(which includes children) and even those that are very muscular. In the next post, I plan to have a little program added that I found so you can enter in your information and the program will automatically do the calculation for you.

Simply knowing where you stack up is not enough. Once you have your "before" picture it is time to plan what you want your "after" to be. This will involve a workout strategy as well as a healthy diet plan for you to be successful.

What is the BMI Calculation or BMI Test?

noreply@blogger.com (Paul) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 19:35:00 +0000

The new year is upon us and the annual rite of making new resolutions to lose weight and get fit, inundating our vocabulary with terms like BMI calculation, low carb and more. In an effort to provide a resource to fully describe the method for calculating your body mass index and how to use this data to benefit you in your weight loss goals, this blog was created.

According to Stedman’s Medical Dictionary BMI (Body Mass Index) is described as " an anthropometric measure of body mass, defined as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared; a method of determining caloric nutritional status." Whew!! That is a mouthful! Leave it to the medical field to define something and leave you just as confused. In laymen's terms, the BMI test is calculation where a person can get an idea of how much of their state of health utilizing a simple formula that uses your height and weight. There are many calculators on the internet where you can perform the BMI calculation, but I am going to show you the method here.

It is: (weight in pounds) multiplied by 703 / ((height in inches) multiplied by (height in inches)).
Ok now you have a number...that's great, what does it mean? The article found here lists the following ranges for the BMI calculation and what they mean:

BMI Range Category

0.0 - 18.5 Underweight

18.5 - 24.9 Normal

25.0 - 29.9 Overweight

30.0 - 39.9 Obese

40.0 - + Morbidly Obese

Now that you know the calculation for the BMI test, if you want to do something about your weight in a natural and proven way please continue on and don't let your knowledge of the BMI calculation go to waste!
