I am trying to figure out how to make a really good fruit salad and something to make with vegetables. I don't want any sugar with the fruit or any salt with the vegetables. I also don't want to have to use the oven. The microwave is fine. I'm trying to make things for my boyfriend, so he will eat more healthy. He doesn't like a lot of the fruits with seeds, and he doesn't like vegetables too much but I am thinking if I mix them into a recipe, that he won't be able to tell. If someone could share their own recipes with me, or send me a website that would be wonderful! =]Fruit or vegetable recipes?
My family loves lasagna and anything that looks like Lasagna. So we made this great red, white, and blue breakfast dish using fruit in place of the traditional Lasagna ingredients. Here is how to make it...
You will need about four cups of corn flakes. Put the cornflakes in a zipper storage bag and run over them a few times with a rolling pin. You want them broken up, but not smashed to dust. Just roll over them until they are coarsely broken up.
You will also need about two cups of minced watermelon. Minced means that they are cut up into really small cubes. Each cube should only be two or three centimeters square. So really small, but don't puree it. (You don't want watermelon soup!) You will also need about two cups of blueberries and about two cups of vanilla yogurt.
Actually, your yogurt doesn't have to be vanilla, it just needs to be white, (to make the lasagna red, white, and blue). I you like one of the other white colored flavors, you can substitute.
Using a casserole dish, take about a third of your crushed cornflakes and spread them in an even layer on the bottom of your pan. In a fairly large bowl, mix together your minced melon, your blueberries and your vanilla yogurt. (Red, white, and blue!) Stir them all together well, being careful not to smash the berries, and then spoon about half of the mixture over the layer of cornflakes you have in your casserole dish already. Spread it out so it is nice and even and covers your cornflakes.
Next take about half of the remaining corn flakes and sprinkle them over your layer of fruit and yogurt. Then take the remaining amount of fruit and yogurt and spread it over the top of your cornflakes again. (You should have four layers so far; cornflakes, fruit, cornflakes, fruit.) Finally, sprinkle the remaining cornflakes over as the top layer. So now you should have five layers all together, with the crushed cornflakes acting as the noodles and the fruit mixture layer in between as the filling.
Don't settle for lackluster fruits and vegetables when cold weather sets in. Here are 11 recipes featuring this season's star produce.Fruit or vegetable recipes?
You can make a really yummy lasagna, or casserole with lotsa veggies, but then you would need the oven.
Or you can make a delicious stir-fry.
You could also make some let's say chicken avocado, or shrimp avocado sandwich.
Anyways, if you decide to use the oven and make either of those and you need a good recipe, let me know, I'll send you.
