Healthy Cooking Magazine

Dec/Jan 2010 Issue

bmichael222 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:13:51 GMT

I have enjoyed Taste of Home and the variours companion magazines, especially Light and Tasty, now known as Healthy Cooking for many years. I got my new issue of Healthy Cooking in the mail yesterday and just have to comment on how tacky the Holiday Hero section is. It is hard to read and is just overall distracting. I enjoy the magazine because its recipes feel "safe" and yet push me to try new things. And most times, those new things I try are delicious. However, this format, which I hope is a once in a lifetime thing, surely hits a sour note with me.

What is stuffing mix?

parhagen — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:04:03 GMT

In the October/November issue of Healthy Cooking, the recipe, Turkey with Sausage stuffing calls for 3 cups of stuffing mix and 3 cups of seasoned stuffing cubes. I am not sure what stuffing mix is if it isn't seasoned stuffing cubes. Can anyone help me?

Sugar free recipes for Type II diabetes

tkearney — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:49:07 GMT

q My husband has been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and is faithfully cutting out sugar. He would really like a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I've made deserts with Splenda and they satisfy his sweet tooth. However the canned pumpkin has so much sugar in it already. Does anyone make a sugar free pumpkin pie filling?

Makeover crunchy pumpkin squares

edithjane — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:03:44 GMT

The recipe says to sprinkle the cake mix over the pumpkin mix. So, you just use the dry cake mix just from the box? Please verify.

black forest cake recipe

ellenruth65 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:13:20 GMT

In the last issue of healthy cooking there is a recipe that calls for 2 cups of cherry juice. I have not been able to find any in our local stores and wonder if I could substitute something else. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Lactoseintolerant Recipes

mariongram — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:56:43 GMT

I was finally glad someone included lactoseintolerant recipes in you magazine. My grandchildren are lactoseintolerant and it is very hard to find new recipes for them. I hope you continue to include some new recipes in the magazine each month. Is there any recipes for desserts including puddings, candies and other cookie recipes. I've tried to make chocolate pudding using lactaid milk and it didn't thicken up the way regular pudding does. I could really use the help for my grandchildren and myself as I am a diabetic and I don't see why I can't eat some of these kind of recipes.

Cooking for a special diet after surgery

j.butler1 — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:06:32 GMT

Hi,

Im an FE that has a husband who just went through gastric bypass surgery.

I have put a few "tips & ideas" out on a couple of forums.

I have recieved "1" persons feedback & friendship, who has experience with this kind of life changing surgery. I hope my ideas and recipes will be of a wanted kind.My inspriration was my husbands love of my soups.

Here is one soup that is low fat and made for such a dietary need during the early stages.

4 cups of "no fat" chicken stock

2 carrots, 3 stalks celery peeled of all strings,1 medium onion, 3 clove garlic,1 cup shredded zucchini-seed area removed, 1 cup diced hubbard squash, 1 cup canned spinach.

2 cups V8 juice.

In olive oil saute garlic & onion, add other veggies, season with (I use season salt) as desired.

V8, and stock.

Cook on medium heat until veggies are very soft. Let cool completly. Put soup through blender till smooth.

I also made a variation of this soup using potatoe rather than the squash & zucchini.Left out the V8 , and added some chopped "deli" ham lunch meat and 1/4 cup buttermilk.

It made a wonderful creamed (blender) potato ham soup.

June/July Healthy Cooking, pg. 52, Berry Patch Pie

MBawden — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:17:02 GMT

From the minute I received the magazine and saw the berry pie photo on the cover I knew I wanted to try making it. I wasn't disappointed. I made it twice while on a trailer vacation this past month. With no baking or refrigeration needed for the filling it was a snap to make on the stove top. Once I substituted a purchased low-fat graham crust when no oven was available and it was still delicious. The first time I used the fruits called for in the recipe. The second time I used fresh picked blackberries and blueberries, a few strawberries on hand and a peach since no raspberries were available. It was absolutely delicious. I plan to make this pie many times in the future.

Good Morning Everyone,

I am hoping that maybe someone will be able to help me out. We are a family of three people but due to scheduling and the like, we never seem to be able to sit down for a meal at the same time.

Does anyone have any meal plans that would fit this kind of lifestyle as I really don't feel like making the same meal several times.

Thanks for your help.

Recipes that were made over

Balloon2x — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 00:27:37 GMT

Is it possible to view the original recipe the readers have sent in to be lightened up by the staff? In the early issues of Light & Tasty those original recipes appeared. I'd like to view those originals, especially for a baked product, so you have a better feel for how to lighten up other old favorites without causing a failure.

Diabetic

sugarcane — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:31:18 GMT

I found out I'm diabetic and having a hard time finding things to snack on or most of all what to eat for breakfast. Can anybody tell me what they eat or have any ideas. I would be better off to lose 30 pounds but having a hard time finding time to exercise. Any help?

vegetable smoothie

kimnafe — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 20:31:30 GMT

wanted to share this smoothie with everyone. Its a take on Dr. Oz's green drink but I packed more into it and give it to my unhealthy hubby about 3 times a day and he enjoys it. His health is so much better

1 c. spinach, 2 stalks celery deveined, 1/2 inch ginger (or 1/2 tsp), 1 apple with skin on, 1 cucumber with 1/2 skin removed, juice from 1/2 lemon (or 1/2 TBLS), juice from 1 lime or 1 TBLS, 1 or 2 bananas, 1/2 cup parsley, 1 to 1 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt, 1/2 to 1 cup favorite fruit juice.

Sometimes I throw in about 1/2 bell pepper then I add alittle more fruit juice.

Put this all in the blender and really mix it up. It makes about 1/2 gallon which I store in fridge and we drink it in about 2 or 3 days.

June/July Recipe Index

heilmanm — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:30:18 GMT

I am not able to look up recipes by clicking on the June/July Recipe Index. Is the link broke? Is this option not available anymore? I like it because I can save recipes to print.
