Healthy Recipes That Taste Good

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:46:50 +0000

We’re going to start working on eating healthier in the new year, especially focusing on dinner, when we were usually tempted to overeat or to eat too late at night. The problem is we both work and have two young kids, so whatever we cook at night is usually done very quickly. Since “bad” food is usually easier to make, that’s what we tend to gravitate to.
Does anyone have any ideas of any healthy, quick to make recipes for dinner? We do like to make chicken, pork and fish. Not real big red meat eaters. Any advice would be appreciated!

When Making Pulled Pork, What Meat Is Best?

Any instructions/hints/recipes on how to do this in order make a great pulled pork sandwich is much appreciated! Want to do it for the labor day weekend!!! I wonder which is the best cut of meat for this purpose. My friends told me that I don’t need to buy the most expensive ones, because cheaper are also great, thanks to the long, slow cooking process which makes the meat tender.

Hosting An Omelet Party

I want to do a retirement breakfast at work, and a I want to use the boil in the bag omelet method. How do you keep water boiling without a stove? a sterno, crockpot, or chafing dish? Has anyone done this? How do caterers do portable omelet parties?

I suppose that such methods leave out of the question fluffy omelets. I wonder, though, if somebody knows how to make fluffy omelet in a ziploc bag, as that would really be a surprise for all my colleagues.

Healthy Recipes for Low Budgets

I’m 18 and live alone. I don’t know how to cook except simple things (eggs), so I eat fast food a lot but I want to eat healthy food from now on … so if you know a simply recipe please tell me. One more thing: I don’t have too much money to spend on food, so I need to be quite frugal and I’m not always willing to buy fruits and vegetables when they are out of their season. I hope you know what I mean… they get so expensive! Health asks for so much money!

How To Cook Pulled Pork Faster?

I’m making pulled pork sandwiches for 6-8 people but I can’t sit with the grill all day. This is why I really need to find a method that’s faster, while not compromising on the food taste. Maybe it’s possible, but I’m not sure. I thought to finish the meat in the oven or in the slow cooker, but I’m afraid it would compromise on the smoky taste we all love so much.

Can I Cook Pressure Cooker Pulled Pork?

Looking for a new pulled pork pressure cooker recipe, something with a little more zing. I have a big barbecue party next Sunday and I want to impress my guests with my cooking skills. Some fancy side-dishes would also be very nice to have. Pickled cucumbers would be great, but I feel like I’m not original enough, because everybody makes pickles salad when we meet for such parties. I want to be different.
