Example:convert pizzas into healthier and nutritious food.I want some recipes to convert junk food to healthier food.Please this is urgent.?
Almost any food can be converted by substituting low fat, fat free or sugar free ingredients for the regular ones called for in the recipe. (i.e. if you're making a pizza, use a whole wheat crust and low-fat mozzarella cheese instead of the full-fat cheese and crust made with white flour). If you're making cokies, use sugar substitute and egg substitute for white sugar and eggs.
I don't recommend doing this though. I really can't pronounce half the stuff that's in these fat free, sugar free foods. Lots of chemicals. if I don't know what it is, I'm not going to eat it.I want some recipes to convert junk food to healthier food.Please this is urgent.?
Good guacamole receipe...Two ripe avocados, a pinch of white salt, garlic powder (not salt), black pepper, and about 1.5 - 2 tablespoons of regular mayo. You can also add onions, peppers, garlic etc. Mash/blend in a bowl, serves about 4 people and delicious.
eat the junk food then take your vitamins or Flinstones
If you mean how to make it yourself to resemble junk food but be healthier...
We buy Trader Joe's pizzas (4.99) and top them ourselves with chopped onions, feta, peppers, roasted eggplant; The new 1/2 meat 1/2 soy burgers topped at home with red peppers, onions, cucumbers and avo with a strong mustard is way better than burger kings. Pretzels with hummus are as good as french fries. Healthy food done right tastes better than junk food! Bon appetit!!
www.cookinglight.com
This is a great website that has already taken a lot of our favorites and made them lighter.
For pizza instead of sauce use diced tomato, and top with organic cheese and fresh veggies. As for sweets I just bought some ';Whole Grain Chips Ahoy'; the other day that are pretty good. Or skip the cookies and cakes altogether and serve just tangy fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or green apples.
Get whole wheat pizza dough (Trader Joes, $.99), pizza sauce (any market) very limited cheese (but good for calcium) and lots of sliced veggies... the more colors, the better. Assemble pizza and bake in oven... a pizza stone is nice but not essential.
For fries, cut potato wedges, lightly coat with olive oil (a mister tool is best , but i usually just mix in a bowl with a little oil) aND SPRINKLE WITH SALT, PEPPER AND HERBS IF YOU WISH. Bake at 350 degrees in cookie tray for 15 - 20 mins or until crispy on outside, tender in middle.

Can anybody give me a recipe for making healthy dog food or know of a recipe book for dog food?
Yes. Give the dog a big bone!Can anybody give me a recipe for making healthy dog food or know of a recipe book for dog food?
And a cat recipe, too, please.Can anybody give me a recipe for making healthy dog food or know of a recipe book for dog food?
allrecipes.com has had a lot of them showing up in the last several months %26amp; each one recommends another yesterday they had Dog Treats One
cook lean hamburger or ground chicken or turkey, add a little salt and garlic powder, add chopped carrots and peas. Make a light gravy and add cooked rice blend together.
The chicken and turkey are healthier than the hamburger but it's your choice, just don't add flour to the gravy that would add more calories. The animals think they are getting steak. (joke)
I give my dogs chicken and rice.
I boil a couple of skinless chicken thighs for 10-15 minutes and then I cut up the cooled chicken and add to cooked white rice. I add a little of the chicken broth.
I have two chihuahuas and this lasts for a few days, so of course you would have to adjust it according to your dog(s).

Eating all natural??? Yummy healthy recipes/foods?
Hello everyone hope u are all in good health.
As for me I have been wanting to loose some weight not a whole lot but more just wanna be healthy. I am going to be doing a cleanse and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good healthy natural recipes or foods they like personally other than fruits and veggies of course. Something like hummus, almond butter etc or any good web sites they know about???
Anything will help thanks for your time =}Eating all natural??? Yummy healthy recipes/foods?
Hi, there to you too:) .... My husband lost 75 lbs in a year, just from cutting out sugar and limiting his carbs:) I like to bake and cook, and do it from scratch. The secret to healthy, natural dishes is to limit your pre-packages products, and use fresh ingredients. Even real, natural butter contains Vitamin A and calcium! ..... Hummus is great for you, because garbanzo beans are a good source of protein, and olive oil will help lower your bad cholesterol. Almonds are the healtiest nuts you can eat too (especially dry roasted). Blueberries have tons of anti-oxidants .... DARK green leafy vegetables have lots of iron. In fact, the darker the color of the veggie (whether green, orange, whatever), the more nutritious that it is .... Yogurt is great for digestion; and Greek yogurt has very little sugar in it and tastes the best (stir in some fruit, or drizzle some honey over it). Even some cereals are healthy, add some fruit and try using vanilla soy milk or yogurt, instead.....Eating all natural??? Yummy healthy recipes/foods?

Ideas for healthy foods/recipes to feed my 1 yr old!?
My son just turned one last week and we've been giving him table food for about 2 months now. He will eat any type of fruit (bananas, mango, blueberries, blackberries, grapes, pears) , but only a few other things, like salami, ham,cheese, toast and sometimes chicken breast if it's marinated in something. We also give him crackers, goldfish, and Gerber puffs as well as some other packaged baby snacks, but I want him to get more of a variety and I need help to get him to eat his veggies and get him completely off the baby food jars. I tried to get him to eat broccoli today and he tried it but then spit it out. Does anyone have any easy and quick (HEALTHY) ideas or recipes for lunches and dinners? I am running out of ideas and I feel like I am giving him the same stuff all the time. I think he would eat more veggies if I could find a way to cover the taste with something he likes (some kind of sauce or something). But I also don't want to spend lots of time on fixing something just to find out that he's going to toss it to our dogs if he doesn't like it! Thanks for your help!Ideas for healthy foods/recipes to feed my 1 yr old!?
What about making a big pot of stew. It's so easy to make, just throw it in the crockpot in the morning and away you go. You can pretty much throw any kind of vegetable in there! If you make a big enough pot, freeze some for another day. What about a cheese sauce for the veggies? Another suggestion would be to go out a buy the book ';Deceptively Delicious'; by Jessica Seinfeld. It's a great cookbook on how to hide vegetables in everyday foods. My kids love the Hot Chocolate with sweet potato in it, and also bran muffins with cauliflower.....and they are none the wiser :)Ideas for healthy foods/recipes to feed my 1 yr old!?
Grilled cheese sandwiches: you can hide chopped steamed broccoli in it.
Meatloaf: minced carrots, make it extremely tender.
Quesodillas: you can hide veggies in that as well with the cheese or add beans and some very finely chopped.
These are all things my 1 year old was eating.
Google 'annabel karmel'. Her website has loads of ideas. Her recipes allow you to make a batch so you can freeze food and then have plenty prepared. Has good ideas for finger foods too.
Have you tried baby carrots with Ranch....or even celery with peanut butter you can even top it off with raisins Mmmmm.....or even strawberries with whipped creamacne scar cream

Heart-healthy foods/recipes?
I'm almost 19 years old and I would like to incorporate more heart-healthy foods into my diet. I'm quite healthy as it is, but I had an ASD repair when I was 6 years old, so I would prefer to improve my diet even more. My heart is very healthy, and there is only a minimal chance that I will need another surgery when I am 40-50 to repair another leakage. I have very minimal leakage as it is, and that is normal. I go for checkups every six months; my next appointment is in August.
I know the heart-healthy foods pretty well -- berries, vegetables (especially spinach, carrots, etc.), olive oil, nuts, fish... etc. but I would like some recipes, too. I would also like some options for when I go back to college in the fall (preferably foods that can be reheated in the microwave after being frozen, etc.). I will have a microwave and fridge, but there isn't a stove in my dorm room (obviously) and I absolutely refuse to go to the resident cafeteria... it's all processed food anyways. Last year, I made and froze plenty of individual portions of homemade, low-sodium soups, and I brought plenty of fruits and some vegetables to school with me. What else can I bring?
Finally, please keep in mind that I sometimes have difficulty swallowing particular foods due to my hyperthyroidism. I am getting the iodine treatment when I come back from Ireland in late July, but I still want to be careful about the foods that I eat so that I don't choke.

As a Registered Dietitian, I’m always looking for better-for-you recipes to help feed my own family. A couple of my own favorites from our web site include:

Beef %26amp; Noodles with Fresh Vegetables: You can use whatever veggies your family likes best. http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/bee…Recipes for healthy foods i can cook please?
Pasta salad is really tasty.
Boil pasta . your favourite make shape etc. in slightly salted water.
Whilst this is cooking chop/slice spring onion cucumber, baby tomato,and put into a bowl. Season to taste with salt n pepper.
When pasta is cooked to your taste, drain and wash through sieve with boiled water from the kettle.
Put this into large bowl add two large dessert spoons of Pesto red pepper is really tastey . stir in the chopped veg. Adding tuna or grated cheese at this point adds a little extra to the meal or simply eat it as it is . Enjoy
I like this one.
I use it whenever I cannot think what to make for dinner.
