I am writing a recipe book for kids, and I want to have about 200 healthy, non-expensive recipes in the book. Before I write this book I need some healthy recipes, do you know any??
healthy breakfast recipes
you could try melts or raps for a fun, and healthy switch up from normal dinner table food!!!
like a beef melt, chicken melt, or like a chicken rap with veggies in it….
Here’s a few…(healthy??..you decide)
CHILLI DOG CASSEROLE
1 pkg. (8) hot dog buns
1 pkg. (8) hot dogs (use more if you like)
1 can Chilli (15 oz. without beans, use more if you want)
1 small onion (chopped)
2 cups shredded cheese
mustard
DIRECTIONS: Pre-heat oven 350 degrees
In a 9″ x 13″ baking pan, break up hot dog buns (bite size) and spread in pan.
Cut up hot dogs (about 1/2″ size) spread over buns.
Spoon/spread chilli over hot dog/buns.
Sprinkle onions over all.
Squirt mustard over entire mixture (don’t spread…just make a few lines both ways across mixture)
Cover with shredded cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
(Hint: If using extra hot dogs & chilli, don’t add extra buns.)
“Corny Beanie Weenies.”
Mix one large can of baked beans (seasoned with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).
1 package of Weiners (all sliced up).
1 can of whole kernel corn (drained)
Heat ingredients, and serve.
It doesn’t get any easier than this, and is suprisingly good!
P.S…..Might put ingredients in a casserole dish and top with corn muffin mix.
Cola Chicken
1 family size package chicken wings (Any chicken pieces will do)
2 cup catsup
2 – 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
2- packages McCormicks Buffalo wings seasoning
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, seasoning….pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat…cover with lid..and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking…to prevent from
sticking to pan) Cook until the sauce becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
I used the spices from a MILD (I don’t care for “HOT”) Buffalo
Wings packet…(the kind you get to bake in the oven or use hot sauce)…..I thought it
was really good…..(but you/I can’t find a ‘bad’ way to fix chicken).
You can double…the double….and more as you like.
BBQ Ribs:Use the same method (Cola Chicken)….leave out McCormicks seasoning.
Ribs & Chicken wings both good…..and……‘s I m p l e’…..to fix…!!
Hint: You can substitute (any flavor)BB-Q sauce for catsup
Mock Ice Cream Sandwiches
2 whole graham crackers
Cool Whip
Spread a thin layer of Cool Whip on 1 whole cracker….top with remaining cracker….freeze.Can’t get any simpler that that!! You’ll want to make several at a time…..can’t eat just one! HINT: Melt some chocolate and drizzle over top before freezing.
Kreamy Kool-Aid Pie
1-(6 g) package un sweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix
1-(14 oz.)can sweetened condensed milk
1-(8 oz)container Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed.
1-(9 inch) Graham Cracker Pie Crust (or Cookie crust)
Cool Whip for top (optional)
1. In a medium bowl mix Kool-Aid and condensed milk, thoroughly.
2. Fold in Cool Whip.
4. If desired, spread more Cool Whip on top.
5. Chill for a minimum of 4 hours
I’ve used: Strawberry…Cherry…Lemon-lime (Key-Lime Pie)….Lemonade (Lemon Pie…might add some yellow food coloring for a more lemony look.)
DIRT PUDDING
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound bag of Oreo’s
1 large box of instant vanilla pudding

Ritzy/Chocolate/Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Chocolate chips
1.) Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper.
2.) Melt the chocolate chips in the double boiler.
3.) Spread peanut butter on a Ritz and top with another cracker.
4.) Dip the sandwich in the melted chocolate use tongs carefully so you don’t break the cracker and dip in chocolate…cover completely.
5.) Place the chocolate-covered sandwich on the cookie sheet…and let chocolate set.
Store in air tight container in refrigerator.
I’ve used…graham crackers (break at perforations)….various crackers.
Hint: Might try vanilla wafers…..and maybe fill with some store bought frostings….. or small amount of jam…..or marshmallow crème.
BUSY-DAY CHEESECAKE
1 – 8oz. package of cream cheese (softened)
1 package of Jell-o Lemon ‘INSTANT’ pudding (not the cooked kind)
