| Welcome to my healthy recipes. This is kind of an offshoot from my other website Linda's Herbal Remedies.Many of us don't eat healthful foods for a number of reasons. One problem that I have found is that many of the " health" recipes are too complicated, use weird ingredients & just don't taste good. I plan on using simple recipes with easily available foods. These will NOT take you all day to prepare. As with my herbal remedies, I will add as I have time so check back. |
| Stir Fry 3 cups water 11/2 cups either barley or brown rice (I prefer the rice) 1/2 cup diced green pepper 1 large onion, diced 1/4 cup butter 1 cup diced mushrooms or 1 small can seasoning ( see note *) Boil water in kettle & add barley or rice. Turn on low heat & cover & cook slowly for 30 to 40 minutes until rice/barley is tender & water is absorbed. Place in a large skillet or a stir fry pan . Add all other ingredients . Stir fry until veggies are tender crisp.( just a couple of minutes) * for seasoning you can use chicken or beef bouillon cubes, add 2 in the water you are cooking the barley or rice in. Another suggestion for seasoning is called Braggs Aminos. This has a very good taste, is made from soybeans so it is also good for you. You can find this in health food stores . A little goes a LONG way. |
| Apple Crisp 6 to 8 apples or 2 cans 1/2 cup raisins 1/3 cup water 1 cup oats (not instant) 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon Peel & slice apples in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with raisins & water. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Sprinkle over apples. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. This is delicious!! You can pour milk over it if you like. It is good warm or cold |
| Lentils & Rice This is a super easy recipe. 1/2 cup brown rice 1/2 cup lentils 3 cups water 1 chopped onion. seasoning ( Boullioncubes or Braggs Aminos) Bring the water to a boil & add the bouillon cubes if using them, rice, lentils & onion. Cover & cook on low heat for about 1/2 hour until water is absorbed. If using Braggs Aminos, season after cooking to taste. |
| I hope you try the Braggs Aminos as it is an excellent tasting product. You will also notice in my recipes that I use butter instead of substitutes. Also real eggs,etc. I believe that the natural is always better than a man made imitation. |
| Tip: Cook brown rice in bulk as it will keep for several days in the fridge. This will cut down your preparation time. The ratio is 3 parts water to 1 part rice. |
| Crock Pot Soup |
| 8 cups water 3/4 c. lentils 3/4 c. brown rice small can mushrooms 1 small can tomatoes 2 or 3 carrots, sliced 1/2 green pepper,chopped 1 onion, chopped 2-3 stalks celery, chopped 2 garlic cloves, chopped 1 teaspoon parsley 1 teaspoon basil 3 chicken or beef bouillon cubes Place all ingredients in a crockpot turn on low. Cook 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high This is a family favorite. It really has a great taste. I prefer the chicken bouillon cubes but my husband likes the beef. |
