Crock Pot Recipes Healthy Biography
Source(google.com.pk)This is by far the best recipe you'll ever try for Minestrone soup – a classic, hearty Italian soup with tomatoes, white beans, vegetables and pasta. You can use Swiss chard or baby kale instead of spinach if you wish and you can omit the pasta if you don't want the carbs – honestly you won't miss it with everything else in this soup.
It's just my preference, but I like to puree the beans in this soup, it thickens it and you don't even know they are in there (great for picky eaters). What makes this soup extra special, is using the rind from a wedge of parmesan or Romano cheese. I always stash them in my freezer just for soups, if you don't have one toss some grated cheese into the soup while it's cooking.
This is an old recipe I've been making for a very long time! Originally I shared this as a slow cooker recipe in 2009, which is super convenient when you are working all day and want to come home to a cooked meal. But I also love making this on the stove, so I've updated the directions for both crock pot AND stove top.
This is also great with mini turkey meatballs, or even some sauteed crumbled turkey sausage. To keep the pasta al dente, I cook the pasta separate and add it to each bowl when I serve it, rather than throwing it in the soup which winds up soaking up all the broth.
Here's an ideal combination: a tasty meal, nutrition for good health, and the convenience of a slow cooker. The Healthy Slow Cooker offers more than 100 delicious, nourishing recipes that are healthy and contain key nutritional, health and wellness information. Along with a complete nutrient analysis, each recipe will feature:
An icon denotes vegan friendly recipes
"Mindful morsels" that highlight particular nutritional elements
"Natural Wonders" that provide an a overview of a dish's healthful benefits
For example, Indian-Style Chicken with Puréed Spinach provides 400% of the daily requirement of Vitamin K, and cumin in the recipe improves digestion. Here's a small sampling of the tantalizing array of recipes:
Creamy Polenta with Corn and Chilies
Moroccan-Style Lamb with Apricots and Raisins
Ribs 'n' Greens with Wheatberries
Winter Vegetable Casserole
Cranberry Pear Brown Betty
Indian Banana Pudding
For diabetics, the book features a separate section of useful advice and nutrition guidelines.
Most people who know me from my recent past know that I didn’t cook much. For over 6 years, I did a healthy food delivery service because my life was so hectic and I thought I couldn’t be bothered with cooking. Also, my husband and my work schedules were all over the place, so we rarely ate together during the week. So, the food delivery service, while expensive, served me well and helped me lose weight and maintain my weight loss. However, after such a long period of time eating the same foods, I wanted to see if I could cook for myself and still maintain my weight loss. I had also decided that I wanted to cut out dairy and gluten from my diet because of the negative effects and discovered the Paleo lifestyle. I bought a number of Paleo cookbooks and must say that I’ve become enamored with cooking. Cooking for yourself doesn’t have to be super time consuming. I’ve found that if I spend about an hour on Sunday evening and an hour on Wednesday or Thursday evening cooking, I can have healthy meals throughout the week. If you’re strategic about what you make, you can eat well on a budget, lose weight, and enjoy so many different types of foods.
I bought a few great cookbooks recently that have gotten me so excited about cooking. One of them is Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook by Sarah Fragoso. The book has these amazing pictures and the recipes are extremely easy to follow. I’ve tried a number of her recipes so far and have loved every single one. There are some great recipes in there for families with kids (or adults who eat like kids). I’m a huge fan of slow cookers (s0 much so that when I accidentally dropped the ceramic portion of the slow cooker that I’ve had for over 7 years, I immediately ran out to buy a new one) since they tend to require little actual cooking. You really only have to prep and mix and then turn on your cooker. I often do my prepping in the evening and then turn on my slow cooker on low before I go to sleep. In the morning, I put everything into individual servings so that I can grab and go as needed.
Here are 2 fabulous recipes that are not only easy to assemble, but require virtually no cooking expertise to make. If you don’t own a slow cooker, you should definitely add one to your kitchen repertoire as they are great for making meals that just warm your heart and your tummy. Slow cookers (otherwise known as crock pots) can be as cheap as $30 and as expensive as $300+. You don’t need something expensive to get started so opting for something on the cheaper side is a great way to get started.
If you love Thai Chicken Curry dishes, you’ll love this recipe below. It’s a much healthier version of Thai takeout and takes very little time to make. I made a batch of this and the Riced Cauliflower last night. Here’s what it looks like (sorry, I’m still working on my food styling and plating skills).
