Simply Healthy Dinner Recipes are a Breeze with a Well-Stocked Pantry

With today's hectic urban lifestyle, working professionals often resort to fast food after a busy day at the office. It's convenient but also unhealthy. Fixing dinner shouldn't have to be a chore. Even if you're no culinary whiz, simple healthy dinner recipes are possible if you have a well-stocked pantry. The idea is to avoid the need to go grocery shopping every time you cook, because it cuts through the food preparation time.

Knowing what to keep on hand makes it easy for me to cook a delicious, nutritious meal every night of the week that doesn't involve burgers, fries, pizza or anything deep-fried. The benefits of cooking my own meal over opting for take-out are fairly obvious - I control the amount of salt, fat, sugar that goes into everything as prepackaged food items contain preservatives and additives that have no business in my food or my body. Eating real food goes a long way in improving my mealtime habits.

Still confused on what to pick at the grocery? Allow me simplify things by sharing food items that could be staples in your home. Adjust it according to your family's lifestyle and eating habits and you'll be whipping up a meal in a snap.

Flours - unbleached white, wheat, rice, cake, almond

Sugars - brown, cane or beet, powdered, turbinado or demerara

Dry Pastas - a few different shapes and sizes

Grains - couscous, rice, barley, quinoa, oats, flax, cornmeal

Oils - olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, sesame oil

Vegetables - onions, potatoes, garlic

Canned/Jarred Tomatoes - sauce, diced, stewed, paste

Spreads - peanut, almond & hazelnut butters, jam, jelly

Natural Sweeteners - honey, maple syrup, agave

Vinegars - balsamic, white, red wine, apple cider, rice wine

Specialty Sauces - hot sauce, Tabasco, oyster sauce, mirin, rice wine, soy sauce

Nuts - almonds, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts, coconut

Dried Fruit - raisins, apricots, dates, cherries, cranberries

Dried or Canned Beans- black, navy, pinto, kidney

Canned fish/seafood - tuna, salmon, clams, sardines, anchovies

Specialty Items - artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, olives

Herbs and Spices - oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, cumin, peppers and many more

Salts - kosher, sea salt, pickling salt, rock salt

Baking Ingredients - baking powder, baking soda, yeast, cream of tartar, chocolate

Extracts - vanilla, almond, lemon, peppermint

Beverages - coffee, tea, cocoa

You don't have to buy everything at once. The trick here is to consider the food items you eat regularly. Make a list of the foods you eat at least once a week because chances are you will need the same items when you replenish your stock. Build up your pantry gradually. Remember to also clean out your pantry occasionally and dispose of anything past its expiration period. A well-stocked pantry makes grocery shopping easier because you only need to buy perishable items (meat, vegetables and other fresh ingredients) and not every herb, sauce or condiment needed for a particular recipe you have in mind for dinner.

I cook from time to time so I'm pretty much familiar with the stuff I have in my kitchen. Mom says I make the best buffalo wing sauce while my raspberry vinaigrette dressing recipe is fast becoming a favorite at family gatherings. I've recently experimented with marinades using what I have in my pantry and I'm close to perfecting what I consider to be the best marinade for chicken. Now who says cooking is boring, huh?

I credit my love for the culinary arts in keeping me healthy all these years. I am now conscious of what I eat and even more with the food preparation. To eat healthy, I made healthy choices in what I eat all the time - meals and snacks. Eating a healthy, balanced diet provides me the necessary nutrients I need. These nutrients give me energy and keep my heart beating, my brain active, and my muscles working. And it's all thanks to my well-stocked pantry.

Enjoy Great Recipes With Cheesy Tomato Paste And Pizza Sauce

Seems yummy? It is. Even the words like pizza sauce and tomato paste are mouth-watering. If you are a food buff and love to try out different recipes using different ingredients, this stuff is simply outstanding to add up to the taste.

Well, pizza sauce is a common garnishing ingredient for pizzerias. Whether you're making pizza at home or baking the frozen one, few sprinkles of pizza sauce will suffice to add up to flavor.

These are available readymade though, you can also try it at home. For people looking forward to cut costs, it is rather better option to make instant pizza sauce.

Homemade Pizza Sauce with Tomato Paste

The sauce can be made from myriad of tomato products from canned tomatoes to crushed tomatoes to fresh tomatoes. You can resort to the easiest one and save yourself the fuss, simple use tomato paste.

You can easily find the paste in the market in small cans. It costs very low and tastes very bold which, I feel, is some of the virtues. To turn the paste into pizza sauce, add dried herbs like parsley, rosemary, oregano etc. Parsley is the perfect to start though. Now, add crushed pepper flakes, garlic flakes and salt. You can also add a pinch of sugar, depending on your taste.

The next step is, to add liquids. There are many options to choose from:

White wine vinegar - adds tart and crisp flavorOlive oil- adds sheen to the sauceBalsamic vinegar- for a bold flavorWater - doesn't add any flavor but gives you the consistency you desire.

In usual 1/4 to 1 cup addition of liquid will give you the desired consistency. If you want it to spread easily, adding more of olive oil will be helpful. Once you are done with this, add spices to adjust to the liquid levels. Add more salt and pepper and taste. With this, your instant pizza sauce is ready to use. You can use right away or keep it in refrigerator for a couple of hours so that the taste develops further. The choice is yours!

You can try it out and share your experiences with friends and family. One thing is sure though, making the sauce at home is very simple with no extra efforts required. Try it out and add flavor to your dishes.

In fact, tomato paste is a multipurpose agent. Adding just basic ingredients, you can make it fit to be added to different cuisines including Greek, Thai and of course, Italian. Store simple tomato paste and add different spices as and when required. All the best for your cooking experiments!

The Best Recipes For Stir Fry

Here is a very popular and favorite recipe for stir fry that your family will love and enjoy. The spring vegetables and chicken breast strips stir fried with fresh ginger, the lime juice and a touch of soy sauce for a quick weeknight dinner. At home, we always enjoy making stir fries for dinner, the art of cooking veggies and protein in a wok and having dinner ready in just few minutes.

Many of us just use whatever vegetables we have on hand, a great way to clean up our refrigerators. You can just serve it over white cooked rice, quinoa, noodles or whatever. We always love the crunch of the sugar snap peas with the chicken, best crunching them raw while you are cooking.

As a super quick procedure, you can start first by using perhaps the Jaden's rice bran oil which is made from the outer layer of the rice kernel where all of the nutrients are found, which is very high in antioxidants and is perfectly suited for high heat wok cooking. But you can also use another type of oil that has a high smoke point such as sesame oil, canola or grape seed oil. This is below 200 calories, weight conscious people, this is gluten free, and low on carbohydrates, very clean that can be easily adapted for Paleo Diets.

As a Paleo note: For people you who are on a Paleo diet, you can substitute the cornstarch with arrowroot, and the rice oil with coconut oil, lastly the soy sauce with coconut liquid aminos. Here is the recipe for the SPRING STIR FRIED CHICKEN WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND CARROTS. The original recipe serves 4 persons.

INGREDIENTS:

For the sauce:

1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (or Braggs Liquid Aminos or Tamari for GF)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon cornstarch

FOR THE STIR FRY:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, already sliced thin into strips

Salt to taste only

1 tablespoon rice bran oil, or canola

1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, peeled and minced and sliced

2 teaspoon garlic, peeled and minced and chopped

1 cup sugar snap peas

1 cup of carrots, peeled and sliced into strips diagonally

Scallions to garnish

THE PROCEDURE:

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, the water, the lime juice, and the cornstarch. Stir them until they are smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved and set it aside.

Then season your chicken breast strips with salt.

Heat a large skillet or a wok over high heat. Wait until the wok is very hot, then add half of the oil and then add the chicken strips sizzling in your wok. Stir fry them occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and browned, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok with a slotted spoon into a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium now.

Add the remaining oil into the wok. Then add the garlic and the ginger, and stir for 20 seconds. Then you can now add the sugar snap peas and the carrots or any other veggies that you may wish to add, and stir over medium high heat, until they are crisp-tender, for 3 to 4 minutes.

Return the chicken to the wok, and add the soy sauce-lime juice mixture. Mix them well and cook for 30 seconds to perhaps 1 minute. Serve immediately while they are hot.

Enjoy this recipe for stir fry at home and please continue cooking.

Hi, I'm Miguel and I love doing an article writing since I was in first year high school. It makes me feel good every time I wrote some story.

If your dad is of the mindset that it truly is the thought that counts, then put some thought and effort into making some dishes dad will love. He may not be a fan of breakfast in bed, but a brunch menu might get his special day off to a good start.

If you don't have much time, or dad likes an early meal, serve something that can be made the day ahead. Try a recipe for hash brown casserole or one of those sausage, egg and cheese appetizer recipes

with a little something extra.

For the gourmet-minded dad, serve this Asparagus, Mushroom, and Gruyere Strudel. This is a treat wrapped in phyllo.

Does dad have more of a sweet tooth? Stack a few peanut butter and chocolate chip pancakes on his plate.

Dad's are our protectors when we are young, they work hard to provide what the family needs, and they teach us many things. Here are some nice quotes to share with your dad, or your children, this Father's Day.

- "My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me." Jim Valvano
- "It is a wise father that knows his own child." William Shakespeare

- "How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he had planted." Voltaire

Give your Recipes a Dash of Herbs - Chicken & Basil Stir Fry (India Network)

No one wants to eat bland food, but ladling on sauces and gravies just adds excess fat and calories to your diet. Fortunately, calorie-free herbs add flavor without all that extra baggage, and they're easy to use. Herbs are edible, fragrant plants that add flavor and nutrients to many types of foods. By playing with herbal variations in your recipes, you can get a completely different taste every time you cook. When choosing dried herbs, it's best to buy organic so you're sure the herbs have not been irradiated. When you're buying fresh herbs, whether at the grocery store or a farmers' market, be sure to get them as close as possible to the day you plan to use them.
Before cooking with fresh herbs, you'll need to wash them carefully. Rinse the herbs underneath running water, then place them on a paper towel or shake them off to dry. If you're cleaning large leaves like basil or a large bunch of parsley, place them in a bowl of cool water and swirl it around. Transfer the herbs to a clean bowl of water and continue to rinse until the water stays clear. Then dry them off and prepare them for cooking. Generally, you just want to use the leaves, not the stems, of the herb.

Different types of herbs can be used for different dishes.
* Oregano and basil for pasta dishes and sauces
* Rosemary and thyme for chicken and vegetable dishes
* Dill for cauliflower, cucumbers, and fish and fish sauces
* Parsley for fish, soups, vegetables, and tomato sauce
* Mint for salad, beverages, and desserts
* Marjoram for stews, soups, and eggs
* Cilantro for Mexican and Thai dishes

Chicken & Basil Stir Fry
* Prep Time 40 minutes

* Total Time 40 minutes
* Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (longer pieces cut crosswise in half again)
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch
* Coarse salt and ground pepper
* 6 teaspoons vegetable oil
* 1 small onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
* 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, green, or a mix, ribs and seeds removed), cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
* 6 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves, larger leaves torn in half
* Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)

Directions

Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch until coated; season generously with salt and pepper.

In a large wok or nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Cook half the chicken, turning once, until browned, but not completely cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with another 2 teaspoons oil and remaining chicken. Transfer chicken to plate. Set aside. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel.

To skillet, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, onion, and bell peppers; cook over medium-high heat, tossing often, until beginning to brown, 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add 1/4 cup water, vinegar, soy sauce, and chicken to pan; cook, tossing, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in basil leaves. Serve immediately, over white rice, if desired.

Kick Off Summer With Fresh Seafood Appetizer Recipes (Twistson Snacks)

The days begin to warm, and the nights follow suit as summer lays ahead. While the thermometer in your home town may not be screaming summer is almost here, today's celebration of Victoria Day in Canada and next week's Memorial Day holiday in the US signal the coming of summer. What better way to greet the season than with fresh seafood appetizer recipes at your next gathering?

As things heat up, people enjoy lighter fare. With doctors recommending we add more seafood to our diet, serving up a taste of the ocean should be the wave of the summer. Thoughts of the sand and the surf call to us this time of year. But, if a trip to the shore isn't on your agenda, take a little trip with bite-sized seafood treats.

Seafood safety
You may worry that serving seafood can be tricky. After all, it needs to be fresh and kept cool. With proper planning, and proper handling, you have nothing to worry about. Once you've determined your menu of seafood appetizer recipes, do your shopping no more than one or two days before the event.

Great ideas
You may not want to serve seafood exclusively, but your next party should have a variety of seafood dishes for people to choose. We found several unique recipes that includes several types of shellfish and a fish dip.

First up are these Coconut-Poached Shrimp Tostadas. The combination of shrimp, pineapple and guacamole is refreshing.

Next, put these Mini Lobster Rolls out and watch them disappear.

Round out the shellfish selection with these Mini Asian Crab Cakes, these bite-sized morsels are easy to eat and have a bit of kick from Wasabi.

Have guests that are allergic to shellfish? Here's a Smoked Salmon Dip that is simple, yet delicious.

You may also get adventurous and want to fry up your own homemade fish-sticks, or grill skewers of shrimp or sturdy, meaty swordfish. The nice thing about fresh seafood is that simple marinades or seasoning is all you need to complete the dish. No overpowering spices or sauces needed - let the taste of the seafood shine through.

The accompaniment
The best thing to serve with your fresh seafood appetizers are crisp white wines or light cocktails.
Shellfish pairs well with light selections like Vouvray, Champagne, even off-dry Gewurztraminer.
White fish calls for a White Burgundy (made from Chardonnay.) According to foodandwine, salmon, while typically served with white wine, works well with a lighter red like Pinot Noir.

As for cocktails, there are really no recommended pairings, but if people don't care for wine, serve a light, refreshing adult beverage like this "Afterglow".
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce Cointreau
Splash of lavender syrup
Blackberry garnish
Pour first 3 ingredients in an ice filled shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with blackberry

So pop a tasty bit of seafood into your mouth and close your eyes. Imagine you hear the sound of the surf, smell the salt water mixed with the scent of sunscreen, and feel your toes in the wet sand. Welcome summer.

Give your Recipes a Dash of Eggs - Egg & Bacon Sandwich (India Network)

Egg yolks are known primarily for their high cholesterol content. But the medical research community has learned that dietary cholesterol is a different measure than blood level of cholesterol, which is associated with increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Egg yolks also contain two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect against vision loss. , eggs are packed with vitamins A, D, E, B2, B6, B9, iron, calcium, phosphorous, potassium and choline. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals. Many people find their hair growing faster after adding eggs to their diet, especially if they were previously deficient in foods containing sulphur or B12.
According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease. In fact, according to one study, regular consumption of eggs may help prevent blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks. These little orbs contain a certain sequence of amino acids that makes egg protein easy for your body to absorb. Which means a hard-boiled grade-A is an ideal muscle-repair food after a butt-busting workout. A great bargain, eggs are easy on the wallet and packed with goodness. So, be brave, be an egghead, and see what these capsules of dense nutrition can do for you. Let us discuss an egg recipe that is high on nutrition and also tastes like heaven.

15 Mins Egg & Bacon Sandwich

Total Time:
15 min
Prep
10 min
Cook
5 min

Yield:
4 servings

Ingredients

3 egg yolks
Juice of 2 whole lemons
2 sticks butter, melted and slightly cooled
Dash of salt
Cayenne pepper
4 whole eggs
2 English muffins split, toasted and buttered

4 slices Canadian bacon, warmed in a skillet
Dash of paprika

Directions

Add the egg yolks to a blender or a food processor. Add in the lemon juice and blend for several seconds. With the blender on, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Turn off the blender and add in a little salt and cayenne. Whip it again until combined. Set this aside for a minute.

Next, poach an egg by gently cracking an egg into simmering, slightly bubbling water.

Leave the egg alone for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, and then remove it with a slotted spoon and carefully place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

To serve, place a buttered, toasted English muffin half on a plate. Top the English muffin with a warm slice of Canadian bacon. Place the warm poached egg on top. And then drizzle on some warm hollandaise. Sprinkle a little paprika on top.

One should not consume raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.
