Beginners Can Enjoy Wine

2017-07-17

The food items served during Christmas parties, noche buena, and media noche are truly delectable but also, most of them, unhealthy. Most of these are fried, cream based, with cheese, oily, sweet and salty, and with processed meat, not to mention the alcoholic beverages that you are going to pair them with. In other words, they are heavily laden with fat and calories.Tuesday - Time to spice things up a bit with a hearty chicken lasagna easy Chili. You control the spice, so this meal will satisfy everyone's tastes. Serve with a nice crusty bread and no one walks away hungry. You may have enough leftover chicken from Sunday for this dish.Get creative when you prepare them! Clearly salads are a good way to eat them, but consider chicken and pasta dishes too. A lot of people like this plan better than just eating them on the side. All this gets easier the more you do it.But today I found a recipe that is well thought out. It is a slow cooker chicken for brownies, and it capitalizes on the tendency to retain moisture by creating a formula for oohey-gooey brownies. But these brownies are referred to as triple chocolate, meaning that they have actual baking chocolate in them rather than cocoa. That is going to produce moist brownies however you do it.Low-Fat Turkey Sub Sandwiches - Make healthy submarine sandwiches using lean meat such as turkey, low-fat cheese (mozzarella is a good choice) and lots of veggies. Present sandwiches with just meat and cheese and allow guests to build their own sandwich. Offer a variety of dressings including a variety of mustards, mayonnaise/salad dressings along with an array of vegetables and other toppings. Some suggestions include peppers (sweet and hot), tomatoes, olives, pickles, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts and spinach.Start with buying a slow cooker with a removable insert for easy cleaning. Find a slow cooker that has more than one setting, such as low, medium and high. Most slow cookers include basic instructions for using it, as well as more elaborate recipes you may want to try. Remember, any slow cooker recipe you find can be easily remade into a low fat meal using low fat substitutes chicken lasagna bake high fat ingredients. When you use your imagination and your slow cooker, there is no end to the delicious low fat meal you can serve your family.
