Sweet Potato With Curry Ketchup Dip Recipe

 




Sweet Potato With Curry Ketchup Dip Recipe When I am on a diet, I need something to keep me going, and at least something I can call “comfort food”. So as for fries, that means that I have to bake it and for me, the best fries I like coming hot out of the oven are sweet potato fries. I added just a bit of olive oil to the fries to lightly oil them so they can cook better and give some taste. Now I like to use the water soaking method to remove some of the starches, as for adding cornstarch to the fries before the baking I do not use this method. I tried both ways and I can really say for me there’s no difference in how you prepare it. But, saying this you can use cornstarch if you prefer it. Make sure you keep an eye on the fries while baking. If the temperature is too high then they will be cooked on the outside and raw on the inside, but if it is too low then the fries will be dried out a soggy. Let me know how yours turned out and did you do anything different to the recipe.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients 2 lbs. - Sweet potatoes ( peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick strips)
1 to 2 tbsp. - Olive oil 1/2 tsp. - Salt 1 tsp. - Paprika Curry Dip 1 tsp. - Curry powder 1 tbsp. - Olive oil 1/3 cup - Ketchup (more to taste) 1/4 cup - Mayonnaise (Low fat) (More to taste) Options 1/2 tsp. - Sugar Cayenne pepper to taste Chile powder to taste Toppings Green onions (chopped) Parsley (chopped)

Crustless  Spinach Quiche - Low Calorie 


God did not make you live on bread alone. I know, I know that we are sometimes on a diet but that can sometimes be a bit boring. So I like to eat something brave like something I can set my teeth into. 

So here we have it, a crustless quiche that is satisfying and good for you, not only this but it tastes really great. Go ahead and try it out for yourself and find out how awesome this recipe is, do not forget to get that extra piece before it is all gone. And, you do not have to feel guilty for this quiche is low-calorie. 

Let me know how you made out with this recipe and did you add anything else to it. 



******************************************************************************************************************


Recipe;

5 lg.                   -   Eggs 
1 med.               -   Chopped onion 
1-pkg                 -   Roughly chopped spinach (10 oz.) 
2 cups                -   Shredded white cheddar cheese 
1 to 2 tbsp.         -   Olive oil 
1/2 cup               -   fresh parsley 
Milk                    -  Splash 

Salt and pepper to taste 


For more information, please see the video below;



******************************************************************************************************************




Let's start with 5 or 6 large farm eggs, I only use free-range eggs because for me they are the best. Here I am using white cheddar cheese for the white looks better on the dish but you really can use any type of cheese you want to make you happy. 




Chop up the spinach roughly for we do not want it to be too chewy but broken down enough to make it delicate to the taste mixed with the eggs. As for the parsley, I like to chop it finer so it can spread more evenly around the dish. 




As for cheese, I like cheddar cheese it is my favorite choice. Here I am using white cheddar for it will make your dish look better as per presentation. Now, you can really use any type of cheese that you would like but I do not recommend any soft type for it can make your quiche very soggy. 




In the end, combine everything together but make sure that you mix everything evenly so in that way every bite will have full flavor. When beating the eggs and to get them to be fluffy, make sure that you beat them until they appear light and airy. 




Well, here it is the awesome perfect crustless spinach quiche. Try it your way and see how many different ingredients you could add to it. Let me know how yours turned out.

Magic Weight-Loss Diet Soup - Lose 1 Kg. In 2 Days.




 Magic Weight-Loss Diet Soup - Lose 1 Kg. In 2 Days.

Here you go, a soup that will curve your diet hunger. Soup is usually one of the best ways to go in regards to weight loss and diet plans but the problem is when the hunger pains start.

Well in this soup, we add crushed rolled oats and we know that this is a stick to your ribs foods that will hold you longer when you start to get hungry. 

This two-day diet is easy and the soup will keep you full. Start with a reasonable breakfast that can include coffee or tea for it will stimulate your system and help you lose weight. Then eat a bowl of this soup for lunch and dinner. Now if you get the urge to eat more then have another bowl. 

Let me know how you made out and did you add anything extra to this soup. 



**********************************************************************************************************



Recipe;


1/2 cup   -   Crushed rolled oats 
1 can       -  Your favorite mixed veggies

1 tbsp.                     -     Olive oil
1 to 2  tbsp.             -     Minced garlic 
1 to 2  tbsp.             -     Minced Ginger
6 cups                     -     Water
1/2 tsp.                    -     Dried  oregano or basil 
1/4 cup                    -     Roughly chopped parsley 
1 tsp.                       -     Veggie stock - low sodium 

Squeeze of lemon 

Salt and pepper to taste. 


Options 

1 to 3 tbsp    -  Chopped hot chili peppers 
Extra veggies 


For more information, please see the video below;




**********************************************************************************************************




Let's start right with fresh minced ginger and garlic and of course hot chili peppers. It is important not to overcook the ginger and the garlic for it will give off a bitter taste and lose its nutritional value. So after a couple of minutes of frying add about half of the water to stop it from overheating.  




To make your life easy add a can of your favorite mixed veggie but make sure that you drained them well. You can also add some extra vegetables that you like and make it your way. 




Please make sure that you keep control over the heat and that the pot is uncovered because of the rolled oats it will become milky and it could overflow and make a high mess. Once it starts to boil, bring down the heat and let it simmer. 




There you have it a great diet soup that will fill you up and keep your hunger under control. Remember to make enough to last you two days with a serving of 4 to 6 each. With this recipe you can expect to get around 3 to 4 serving.

Tuscany Italian Salad - Under 300 Calories




Tuscany Italian Salad - Under 300 Calories 


This Tuscan recipe is so easy and fast that I was thinking that it was too simple for a video. Everything is so fresh and the taste from the olive oil blended with the veggies just makes it perfect with the marinated bread. It brings home a little bit of Italian cuisine for your family and friends. 

I made the Tuscany salad with a hearty rye bread that still holds its texture as it absorbs the liquid, thus giving it a great taste. 

I hope that you enjoy this and give it a try, also please let me know if you made any changes to it.





*************************************************************************************************************



Recipe; 

3 thick slices of any hearty bread.

2 med.         -  Tomatoes
1/2 lg.          -  Cucumber
1/2 med       -  Lime juice
2 tbsp.         -  Olive oil
1/2 tbsp.      -  Sugar
1/2 med.      -  Onion
1/3 cup         - Capers
1/2 cup         -  Fresh parsley 
1/4 cup         -  Green or black olives
1 tbsp.          -  Vinegar


Salt and pepper to taste.



For more information please see the video below.




*************************************************************************************************************



                              


Here I'm using a hearty thick country rye bread that has a texture that can absorb the liquids and still not give you a soggy bread but a smooth marinated taste. 

Try it with day-old bread or really any type you want, just remember to toast it or put it under the oven grill until golden brown.




The cucumber is just perfect for this recipe, the mild fresh taste just goes perfect with the other veggies and the marinated oil. Go ahead and try it your way, let us know how you made yours. 





Slice the tomatoes in wedges so it becomes nice bite-size pieces, but try it your way and see what pleases you best. After all, it's your salad. See what you can come up to with this recipe. 







By not cutting up the parsley you will get a more of a fresh taste in every bite and it will make it more of all-round natural taste. I would advise using only fresh parsley or really any other kind of fresh herbs. 






Finish it off with lime or lemon, whatever you use it will complete this recipe your way. In this way, you will keep repeating this dish for your light meals or a side dish.

The Secret To Making Perfect Corn On The Cob

 


The Secret To Making Perfect  Corn On The Cob

For many years I saw my family and friends make corn on the cob and cook them until they were hard as a rock. So after a while, I kept doing the same thing but I did try some made by other people and they were perfect. So off I went in search to find a way that was foolproof, and easy to cook without all the fuss. 

So one day I was at a farm, the type of farm where you can go into the fields and harvest things that you want and need. When I came back from the fields, there was a large pot of corn just sitting there with no heat going at all but the cooking pot was very hot and steaming.

I was told that the water was brought up to a boil and then the corn was added and closed with the lid to keep in the heat. So in 10 mins, the corn was ready to eat. I was very doubtful but it turned out to be the sweetest most tender corn I ever ate. So to this day, I have prepared my corn in this way and I never looked back. 

Set a timer to ten minutes because if you let your corn overcook the kernels will become tough and do not add any salt to the water for that also helps the corn become hard. The goal is juicy, crunchy kernels, not mushy dry ones. Works every time. 




*****************************************************************************************************************


Recipe

A large pot of boiling water. 

All the corn your pot can handle. 

Remove both ends of the corn stock and dived into two pieces. 


Toppings 

Butter 
Garlic butter 
Salt 


For more information, please see the video below;



*****************************************************************************************************************




Remember to get the right corn, people corn on the cob, not field corn used in order to feed farm animals.  After removing the leaves and silk, cut off the ends and break or cut them into two pieces. We do this so the heat from the water can penetrate the cob better and thus cook faster without full boiling in a shorter time. 




Bring up the water with a full boil then add all the corn. Put the lid back on and wait for it to show you a slow light boil, it is not necessary to reach a full rolling boil again. Then turn off the heat and let it sit for ten minutes but halfway through give it a quick stir and put the old back on quickly in order not to have heat loss. 

Now if you decided not to cut the corn in half then leave it in the pot for about twelve minutes, an extra two minutes. 




Transfer the corn to a large bowl and drain out the excess water, I like to use a metal bowl because it holds the heat better. Now go ahead and add your topping, as for me I like just plain salt a butter.  Just add the topping, wait a minute for the butter to melt and toss, toss, and toss. 




 Please let me know how yours turned out and tell if it is not 100 %  perfect, just tender, and sweet.

When I made this dish, the only problem I had was that it disappeared real fast and "puff" it was gone, so please make some extra. This will also hold in the fridge for a day or so and it will still be fresh and awesome. 

Please let us know how yours turned out and if you added anything else to it.

What could be better than fresh veggies mixed with a smooth velvet sauce that just blends in perfectly with a touch of sweetness of dried cranberry.







Neat trick, just use your peeler to cut smooth perfect slices of the carrot. In this way, it will actually taste better, it will always be tender and sweet.







The size of the broccoli flower should be "bite-size", but that will depend on you on how big or small you want it. 

Remember to save the stock and bits to make homemade veggie stock. I usually store all the leftover veggies parts in a plastic bag in the freezer.







Here I am using dried cranberries, but you can really use whatever your heart desires. Sometimes times if  I am in the mood, I add some raisins or walnuts or both.

Go ahead and make it your way.
