Healthy foods must be learned about at an early age, in order to start eating right. By teaching ones children to eat healthfully, if follows suit that recipes will be easy to find, and henceforth, choosing quick recipes will take only minutes to prepare.
Healthy quick recipes must contain the all the necessary food groups, for a proper meal. I have my healthy recipes set up in a little box, typed on cards. In the box I have dividers to separate different recipes, such as meat,fish & poultry. As well, once I have the main categories separated I then put special categories - one being Healthy Quick Recipes.
Healthy quick recipes are an advantage to busy mothers and fathers who need to prepare a meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner, for a busy family. They have only a limited amount of time to spend preparing a meal. The meals must be nutritious as well. And after a long day at work, probably with travel time to and from work, the healthy recipe must be quick.
A good example of a healthy quick recipe would be the following example:
You can easily make 4 of these almost as fast as one.
Pre-heat oven on broil.
Toast bread and butter lightly.
Place tomato on buttered toast.
Add grated cheese evenly over tomato.
Place under broiler for approx 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Now serve!
The above healthy quick recipe is just that - healthy - good carbohydrates in 100% whole wheat oat bread, butter (just a small amount), tomato is an excellent healthy vegetable with lots Vitamin C and carries approximately 1400 I.U. of Vitamin A. Also low in calories. Cheese is very high in protein and calcium and B12. Sea salt is good for you and freshly ground pepper add spice to the recipe and helps the digestive system.
In summary, we have filled all the requirements of a healthy quick recipe.
1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup unbleached white flour 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 egg 1 cup skim milk 1/3 cup canola oil 1/2 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, stir together the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Combine this mixture well. In a small bowl, beat the egg. To the egg, add the skim milk and oil. Mix together until well blended. Add the liquid (egg, milk, and oil mixture) to the dry ingredient mixture. Combine just until blended. (The batter will be a little bit lumpy.) Add in the raisins. Put into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until it tests done. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Makes one loaf.
