Healthy dinner? No problem! πŸ˜‰

Here’s a menu for a soup-sandwich combo! Start with Chilled Tomato Soup, next comes Turkey Veggie Wraps and a side of Tangy Coleslaw. Also included is a delicious smoothie recipe =)

Chilled Tomato Soup:
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups peeled and thinly sliced onions
3 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic
2 bay leaves
4 pounds firm, heirloom tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into eighths
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
4 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Hot sauce

In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bay leaves and cook for 5 more minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, and thyme and cook for 15 minutes or until the tomatoes soften. Add the water and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the tomatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Using a handheld blender, puree the soup until smooth. Chill the soup. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and hot sauce to taste, as desired.

Turkey Veggie Wraps:
2 cups coarsely chopped smoked turkey breast (about 8 ounces)
2 cups gourmet salad greens
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 ear)
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 tablespoons light ranch dressing
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, tossing well to coat. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Top each tortilla with 1 cup turkey mixture; roll up. Cut each wrap in half diagonally.

Tangy Coleslaw:
Combine 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with half of a 16-ounce package cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw; cover and chill.

Yogurt n Fruit Smoothie:
2 cups fat-free milk
1 (8-ounce) container vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup thawed pineapple-orange juice concentrate
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 banana, coarsely chopped

Process all ingredients in a blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Serve immediately

My teenage son has been working at a camp in North Carolina for the past couple of months. He has gone from sitting around on the computer to being outside and working. He has lost a bit of weight and is so thrilled. I want to change the entire eating habits of this family. I am looking for recipes that are cheap, easy, quick..but most importantly, healthy and will help him continue with weight loss. I also hope to help him continue to lead a more active lifestyle. All your suggestions and recipes are appreciated.
Vegetarian is a plus.

Well some foods that are yummy and are low in carb are ground turkey (turkey and chicken i know tons of ways to make them and they are so tasty as well. Grill chicken is very healthy and very easy to make with steamed broccoli yum and ground turkey burgers they taste the same as beef and have no grease. The buns can be wheat buns and they are yummy as well. Also for some thing super quick try the perdue chicken and turkey cuts they are new and are already cut and cook all you have to do is microwave it for 40 sec. And but it on a wheat wrap and lettuce and tomatoes for any more stuff write me back

Mark asks…

What is the most effective weight loss and fitness plan?

I would like to know the most effective weight loss and fitness plans that have worked best for people. I want to try and develop my own plan and would like outside ideas on work outs, recipes,etc.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Its an easy formula. What’s hard is sticking to it.
1. Calculate on average how many calories you eat a day (eg 1800)
2. Reduce the number by 500 (eg 1300)
3. Now that you have a limit, you decide ‘do i really want to eat this because it has x number of calories.’
4. In addition, try doing exercise without thinking of it as a chore.
5. Have something to work towards (a REALISTIC goal) such as fitting into a pair of jeans you cant atm.
6. Stick to this and the weight will drop off (eventually πŸ™‚ )
