From babies to adults, everyone likes chicken meat. There is a reason for that – it’s healthy. The body knows what is good and what is bad for him. He says something is delicious when he needs the proteins and fats from that aliment. So there is no wonder that chicken meat is recommended even for the babies. The chicken recipe is one of the healthiest meals you can have, almost as healthy as fish.

Chicken recipes are very delicious and easy to prepare. All you have to do is add some proper condiments to the chicken and prepare a nice sauce. After this, almost all the work is done. You may choose to fry, bake or boil. No matter which option you take, you will be pleased both by the minimum time spent in the cooking process and by the delicious result.

Usually a chicken recipe is not very demanding. It shouldn’t take more than 1 hour of your precious time. The actual baking or frying or boiling might take longer. But that is time you have for yourself. Because you don’t have to stay in the kitchen supervising the cooking process.

Cooking Vegetables With Waterless Cookware – Part 2

Posted by buachum on October 21, 2010

Cooking vegetables correctly does not have to be a guessing situation. By following a few simple directions, you can insure that your fresh or frozen vegetables will turn out tasty, appealing and cooked to perfection every time.

Cooking Fresh Vegetables

To cook fresh vegetables, place the vegetables in a pan that is almost completely full once vegetables are inserted. When cooking with waterless cookware, cooking vegetables in too large a pan for the quantity you are cooking can be a problem. Then rinse your vegetables with cold water and pour the excess water off. The water that clings to the vegetables plus the vegetable’s own natural moisture will provide enough moisture for cooking the waterless way.

Cover the pan, close the vent and cook over medium-low heat. When the cover spins freely on a cushion of water, the vapor seal has formed. Cook according to the time chart that follows: Do not peek. Doing so not only lengthens the cooking time but also increases the risk of burning your vegetables because the vapor seal is broken. When finished cooking, test for doneness with a fork.  If not done, cover the pan, close the vent and add 2 to 3 Tbsp. of water to the rim to reestablish the vapor seal. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.

Cooking Frozen Vegetables

Do not defrost the vegetables. Again the size of pan used for cooking the vegetables is important. Once the vegetables have been placed in the pan, your pan should be almost completely full. Rinse your vegetables with cold water and pour the excess water off. The water that clings to the vegetables plus its own natural moisture will provide enough moisture for cooking.

Cover the pan, close the vent and cook over medium-low heat. When the cover spins freely on a cushion of water, the vapor seal has formed. Cook according to the time chart. Do not peek. Removing the cover will destroy the vapor seal, lengthen the cooking time, and possibly cause the vegetables to burn.

Cooking Times for Vegetables:

Artichokes (whole) (30 to 45)

Artichoke hearts (10 to 15)

Asparagus (10 to 15)

Beans, green (fresh, cut) (15 to 20)

Beans, green (fresh, French cut) (10 to 15)

Beans, green (frozen) (10 to 12)

Beans, Lima (fresh) (30 to 35)

Beans, Lima (frozen) (10 to 12)

Beets (whole) (35 to 40)

Broccoli (15 to 20)

Brussels Sprouts (15 to 20)

Cabbage, shredded (10 to 15)

Carrots, sliced (15 to 20)

Cauliflower (10 to 15)

Corn (fresh) (15 to 20)

Corn (frozen) (10 to 12)

Eggplant (5 to 8)

Greens (10 to 12)

Leeks (12 to 15)

Mushrooms (5 to 10)

Okra (15 to 20)

Onions (whole) (15 to 20)

Parsnips (sliced) (15 to 20)

Peas (frozen) (5 to 7)

Potatoes (quartered) (20 to 25)

Potatoes (whole) (30 to 35)

Potatoes, sweet (30 to 35)

Spinach (frozen) (8 to 10)

Spinach (fresh) (15 to 20)

Squash, summer (yellow) 15 to 20)

Squash, winter (25 to 30)

Squash, zucchini (20 to 25)

Tomatoes (10 to 15)

Turnips and rutabagas (25 to 30)

*Cooking times reflect the time after the vapor seal is formed, which usually takes 3 to 5 minutes. Note: To keep your vegetables hot and ready to serve, keep the cover on and the vent closed. The vegetables will stay hot in the pan for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Don’t let the concept of cooking waterless scare you. When you try it, you will soon discover how easy it is to actually use waterless cookware if you follow the above principles. Yes, cooking with waterless cookware is healthy because vegetables cook in their own natural juices, but you will soon discover how tasty and uniquely flavorful your prepared meals actually are. The Gourmets Cookware offers a wide variety of quality waterless stainless steel products along with tips and healthy recipes that can be easily adapted to your waterless cookware.

Candida Diet Recipes For Dinner

Posted by buachum on October 16, 2010

Mealtime is one of the most important times of the day. While you often have to rush through breakfast and lunch in order to tend to work duties, dinner is a meal that can usher in relaxation and enjoyment after a busy day.

For people living with candida-related health problems, dinner is way to provide your body with the nutrition it needs to make it through the night. Have you ever wished you could work in your sleep? Well, with the right candida dinners, you can actually work toward fighting off candida overgrowth, even while you are sleeping.

As with all candida-friendly meals, it is important to remember which foods work against your body and actually feed the candida. You’ll want to avoid foods with sugar and white flour and basically most processed foods you would find in a box at the grocery store. Also, just say no to moldy foods that only contribute to the yeast problem, such as moldy cheeses.

What Can I Eat?

There are many foods you can enjoy while sticking to a candida-fighting menu. Build meals with lean meats, whole grains, vegetables, and low-sugar fruits. These allowed foods make creating a candida dinner menu quite simple, not to mention delicious.

Check out some of the meal ideas below to get your meal plan started. By planning your meals and making sure your kitchen is stocked with the necessary ingredients, you will be prepared to have a candida-friendly dinner each day of the week.

Vegetable Soup

Combine all of your favorite vegetables in a large pot with vegetable broth and season with salt, pepper, and any herbs you enjoy. Simmer the soup to meld the flavors, and enjoy with some warm, crusty whole grain bread and a side of fruit salad for dessert. Kiwis, apples, and orange segments make a delicious, low-sugar salad.

Grilled Fish and Veggies

Select your favorite fish, and season with salt and pepper, herbs and lemon. Grill the fish along with sliced vegetables, such as squash or asparagus. The vegetables can be placed in a grill basket or wrapped in foil and cooked over the fire. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and vegetables when finished grilling.

Chicken Stir-Fry

Cook bite-size chicken pieces and vegetables in a wok or large fry pan with olive oil until fully cooked. Season with low-sodium soy sauce and serve with brown rice.

Hot Dinner Salad – Vegetarian

Posted by buachum on October 15, 2010

Since needing to care for what I eat so that it has the least additives and nasty food surprises, I am experimenting with new recipe ideas.  This is one of them.  It is also quick and easy to make – fast food need not be bad for you!  I must also add that as far as I know, I only buy vegetables in season and do my best to have them grown as near to where I live as reasonable.  From my work with allergy-like reactions as an Allergy Antidotes practitioner, I now realize that the body needs change, or it may develop an allergy-like reaction to a food.  Eating food that is in season makes sure that you change the foods you eat.  And eating locally-grown food means that it has not lost nutrients due to months of shipping and storage.

This is ideal for a day that is just not quite hot enough for a cold salad; or if entertaining and want a quick hot vegetarian meal.  The colors make for an easily attractive presentation too.

Ingredients

1 Head of broccoli
2 Bunches of asparagus
1 Sweet red or yellow pepper
Sea salt to grind and sprinkle on to taste
A handful of feta cheese with mixed herbs (crumble it in your hand) – or plain feta cheese and half a tsp of mixed herbs or fresh equivalent
Fresh lemon to squeeze
Extra virgin olive oil to drizzle

Bring water to a boil in a big pan while you cut up the broccoli into florets and pieces.  Then add the broccoli, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, cut up the asparagus stalks into rough pieces and roughly dice the pepper.  After the broccoli has cooked 5 minutes, add the asparagus and pepper and cook for another 2-5 minutes.  Drain and add salt, feta, lemon, and oil.  Enjoy!

Serves 2-3.
