The HEALTHY RECIPE thread

Re: The RECIPE thread

Sweetheart, there are 32 grams of sugar in the tomato paste alone. This is NOT a healthy recipe.

 

Dang it, Flash, I was going to post my super-duper mac & cheese recipe ... but the nutritional value disqualifies me.

 

Hmmmm, I have veggie chili somewhere around at home, too ...

 

I hope you mean ground CUMIN, because there is no way I am tasting that chili otherwise.

 

Wow, whoops ... that's a huge typo ... yes, I did mean cumin. Hahaha.

 

Yeah, I would hate to have someone right in the middle of that recipe and their kids walk into the kitchen.

 

It's fixed now.

 

It actually tastes pretty damned good too, Moddy.

 

Here's another one I really like

Smoky Citrus Pork Kabobs
Serves 4; Prep: 15 min; Grill: 12 min

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/3 cup smokey barbecue sauce
1/3 cup orange marmalade
2 Tbsp prepared horseradish

1. Heat grill to medium-hot. Tread tenderlin cubes onto skewers.
2. Stir together remaining ingredients for basting sauce
3. Place kabobs on grill; brush generously with basting sauce. Grill and turn to brown evenly, brushing frequently with sauce, just until barely pink at center, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Alternative: Alternate seasonal vegetables and fruit on the skewers with the pork, if desired

Per serving (one skewer without fruit or veggies)
220 cal, 24 g pro, 21 g car, 2 g fib, 4 g fat

 

I'm making some cornbread with grated cheddar in it, and I greased the pan with bacon drippings. I guess that wouldn't qualify. The chili is probably low-fat, though.
