The same filling can taste quite different when it's in a soft white bap, to when it's tucked into a hearty wholemeal roll with seeds on top. </P><P>Truly healthy sandwich recipes will always avoid white bread because it's lacking in fibre. If you really love white bread, look for a variety that has half-and-half white and wholegrain flour - kids will often accept this compromise for their favourite white bread.</P><P>Otherwise, always start with good, fresh, wholemeal bread or rolls, or try wholemeal pittas or wraps instead. </P><P>Check out these healthy lunch box ideas for 10 healthy sandwich ideas.</P><P>For healthier sandwich fillings, avoid processed meats like salami and pastrami which have been implicated as being unhealthy in the cancer prevention diet.</P><P>If you do go for meat, choose lean varieties, cut off any visible fat and avoid cheap ham which has been reformed from other cuts and is likely to contain added fat, water, salt and sugar. </P><P>Poultry is an excellent choice.

The thinner soups are perfect healthy soup recipes for weight loss</P><P>Use vegetable stock for all these recipes, either home made or from bouillon powder.</P><P><B>Quick and Easy Pumpkin Soup</B><BR>A homely and simple soup, with a surprisingly full and creamy texture, easily put together from basic ingredients, and truly satisfying.</P><P><IMG hspace=10 alt="Quick and easy pumpkin soup" align=left src="www.reading-about.com/public_html/blogimage/pumpkinsoupr.gif" width=120 height=118><B>Serves 6:</B> Peel and de-seed half a pumpkin, and cut into chunks.

Puree in a blender or food processor.</P><P><B>Pumpkin and Ginger Soup</B><BR>Fresh ginger is a great addition to many vegetable soups. In this recipe, it gives the pumpkin flavour a real lift. </P><P><B>Serves 4:</B> 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, crushed, 2.5cm (1 inch) piece root ginger, peeled and grated, 650g (4 cups) peeled and chopped pumpkin flesh, 850ml (3 cups) vegetable stock</P><P>Sweat the onions gently in the olive oil for 5 mins, add the onion, garlic, ginger and pumpkin and cook for 5 mins more.

It's penned by the lovely Jaime Green.<BR>Dear readers, for those of you not living in the Northeast, let me tell you something I just learned: it is FALL! Sure, Utah was having snowstorms two weeks ago, but whatever. In my little world, the seasons just started changing, and hard. <P>When I told my boyfriend that I could see my breath this morning he was like, “Why are you so excited about it being freezing out?”</P><P>“I don’t know.” I thought for a moment. “I guess I really like November?”</P><P>It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. Two weekends ago I texted a few friends a picture of the fall’s first Brussels sprouts at the farmers market, along with the word, “first!”</P><P>I know that summer is the season of produce bounty or whatever, and I have enjoyed it. I ate sweet cherry tomatoes like grapes, munched on every color of bell pepper, enjoyed berries and peaches and plums. It was great. </P><P>But fall is my favorite season for produce. The first few apples I saw just reminded me of late-winter apple fatigue, but now I’ve been making batches of spicy apple sauce that I’m frankly addicted to. I’m roasting sweet potatoes and sautéing broccoli and there’s a butternut squash on my kitchen table with a date with a (hopefully) sharp knife.</P><P><IMG border=0 src="C:\Program Files\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\Healthy Eating\cheap\bsprouts+001.jpg">And then there are Brussels sprouts. O, Brussels sprouts, I love them so. I can’t tell how far into the popular consciousness their adoration has spread. It’s like a rumor, passed friend to friend, or admission to the Secret Brussels Sprouts Appreciation Society. “Have you tried roasted Brussels sprouts?” “If you brown them in a pan, they’re better than bacon.” “My mother used to steam them and they smelled like trash, but cooked hot and salty they’re— Oh, sorry, I’m drooling down my shirt.”</P><P>So, I want to make sure you’ve heard. When steamed or boiled, Brussels sprouts are gross, deserving of their putrid reputation. But roasted or sautéed, browned and salted just right, they’re— Oh, sorry, I’m drooling down my shirt again.</P><P>Beyond that, Brussels sprouts are also a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Thiamine, Folate, Iron, and fiber. They come into season (at least in the Northeast and other similarly climated regions) in mid-October, and last past the frost. Their relatives include cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, and kale, and they do indeed look like tiny cabbages (or brains). They grow on stalks, and sometimes you can buy them that way at the farmers market, and it looks CRAZY.<BR>And that was Brussels sprouts fact-time! Yay!</P><P>My go-to Brussels sprout recipe, and what originally converted me to their cult, is Heidi Swansson’s Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts. The cheese is superfluous but the method is perfection – cook halved sprouts with oil and salt, sautéing until they’re carmelized and browned. Crispy outsides, melty insides, addictive throughout. I served them as a side dish when I cooked Thanksgiving at my mom’s house a couple of years ago (everything but the bird), and converted my family in one go. </P><P>Sometimes, though, I just don’t have the patience to make sure the cut sides are browned, to find the right balance between thorough cooking inside and out. (Cooking Brussels sprouts too slowly lets the insides steam, giving you that nasty, almost horseradishey flavor.) </P><P>(You can also roast these babies in the oven – tossed with oil and salt, laid out on a baking sheet, shaken around once in a while, until browned and delicious. But I’m still living in the land of No Gas to the Kitchen, and a meager few toaster oven-roasted Brussels sprouts is just not enough for my fix.)</P><P>So here’s my new favorite way to cook Brussels sprouts – it gives you the pan-sautéed flavor without any of the finicky work.</P><P>You shred some sprouts. You heat oil in a pan. You sautee them until they’re done.</P><P>Oh, you wanted an actual recipe? Okay. Enjoy. Welcome to the club.</P><P>~~~</P><P>If you think this looks good, yer gonna love:<BR></P>~~~ <P><B>Golden Shredded Brussels Sprouts</B><BR>serves 2-3</P><IMG border=0 src="C:\Program Files\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\Healthy Eating\cheap\bsprouts+005.jpg" width=320 height=240><BR>1 lb Brussels sprouts (3-4 cups shredded)<BR>1/8-1/4 t salt<BR>dash of red pepper flakes (optional) <P>Note: if increasing recipe, cook in batches – an overfull pan of sprouts will steam rather than brown.</P><P>1) Trim ends and loose leaves off of sprouts.

During this metabolism, molecular bonds can weaken and split, resulting in free radicals, roaming by-products which quickly try to attach themselves to the nearest stable molecule, potentially causing damage. </P><P><STRONG>Free radicals</STRONG> are normal to an extent, sometimes triggered by the body’s own immune system, but the presence of too many free radicals or too few antioxidants, as well as environmental exposures like smoke, herbicides, radiation, and pollution, can all play a role in tipping the balance, resulting in oxidative damage to the cells.<BR><IMG title="berries antioxidant" alt="berries antioxidant" src="www.reading-about.com/public_html/blogimage/berries-antioxidant.jpg"><BR><STRONG>Oxidative damage contributes to a host of diseases</STRONG>. Antioxidants can prevent and repair the damage of free radicals, and may also help build the body’s immune system, as well as reducing the risks of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular conditions, macular degeneration, and cancer.</P><P>Many <STRONG>vegetables and fruits </STRONG>contain antioxidants, along with nuts, whole grains, and fish. Even red meat and chicken, both rich in Selenium, contain antioxidants, as do spices such as cloves, cinnamon and oregano.<BR><BR>However, finding the top ten or top twenty antioxidant rich foods is not merely a matter of assessing the total antioxidant capacity of any one particular food. Factors such as digestion and absorption, as well as food preparation can affect the potential benefit of antioxidants.</P><P>Following a proven diet such as the Mediterranean diet can be an easy, simple way to work antioxidants into an every day lifestyle. Since the 1940s, studies have consistently shown the health benefits of adapting the traditional diets of the Mediterranean culture.</P><P>An antioxidant rich Mediterranean menu might consist of a <STRONG>breakfast</STRONG> of berries and yogurt, with whole grain bread, drizzled with honey. Whole wheat pita bread provides a quick and easy base for both <STRONG>lunch and dinner</STRONG> when paired with Roasted Vegetables or Meatballs with Spanish Sauce.

Hi there. It’s Kris. And I have a favor to ask yis. <P>First, some background: We’re all about life changes at the CHG Mansion lately. HOTUS and I are still cleaning up from the wedding. I started a new job last week. We’re buying a car, even though I’ve driven exactly once since 2004. Our cat barfed. </P><P>And now, the latest, most unexpected (but happy) development: we’re moving right after Thanksgiving. </P><P>As they say in France, LES YIKES.</P><P>Among many other fabulous things, this means <STRONG>there's not much time to blog</STRONG>, much less pack, much less see the new Harry Potter. (Crap!) Leigh and Jaime are taking up some of the slack, but we’re gonna need backup. So, I was wondering if any of y’all would be interested in providing it. With guest posts, I mean.</P><P>If you’re not interested, no worries. We’ll catch up over a few drinks later.</P><P>If you are interested, yay! I kiss you. </P><P>Here are the details: We’re looking for <B>fun, original, grammatically sound recipe posts and CHG-esque articles</B>. They can be personal accounts, experiments, Top 10s, or anything really, as long as the topics generally adhere to CHG's usual subject matter (cheap n' healthy food). Also, taking a look at this Guest Submission Guideline post from Get Rich Slowly might be a good idea.</P><P>In return, we can offer you a fair amount of publicity for your own blog, website, small business, or backwoods militia. Our RSS feed is up over 10,000 these days, and we’re getting between 4,000 and 5,000 hits off of various <a href="http://www.yoursearchplace.com">search</a> engines and links daily. So there’s that.</P><P>Should this sound like a fun idea, shoot me an e-mail at</P><BR>to discuss a potential post, as well as a few blogging rules and regulations (formatting, recipes instruction rewrites, etc.). We’ll take the best ideas and run with ‘em, and see how it all ends up. <P>If you don’t receive a reply within a few days, I apologize, and will hopefully get to everybody as soon as possible. In the meantime, thank you for being more wonderful than an evening with Ina Garten, Tina Fey, and Eddie Vedder combined.</P><P>Now, off to clean up some cat barf. <IMG alt="Stumble Upon Toolbar" src="www.reading-about.com/public_html/blogimage/120x20sublue.gif"> <br /><p><a href="http://cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com/2010/11/call-for-guest-posts.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Mark Christiansenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05015102989480054179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58046825487575771.post-65433185683049206492010-11-27T15:18:00.000-08:002010-11-27T15:18:00.727-08:00 <P>by Elizabeth <BR>(Healthy Eating Made Easy) </P>Baked potatoes with tuna are a simple winter recipe. <P>Scrub a medium potato for each person, prick the skin a few times with a fork and bake in a medium oven for about an hour until tender to the point of a knife.</P><P>Take them out of the oven, cut in half and scoop out the insides, being careful not to break the skin.
