No matter what your budget, you must eat healthy: cheap food and healthy foods are potatoes, beef roasts, turkey, pasta, rice, carrots, canned vegetables, and whole grain breads. Buy some cheap spices like onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, etc. and experiment.What are some good recipes to make on a 15 budget to feed two people for a week?

I want healthy recipes for one or two people, preferably made with organic ingredients.?

The rules:





I don't mind if there's leftovers, as long as it tastes good.





Soups, entrees for any meal of the day, and appetizers are good.





I don't really like seafood, but if it's too good to pass up, then okay.





I don't eat pork, unless fully cooked, like sausage or bacon.





Recipes made with whole foods only, no prepackaged mixes.





Spices are good.





Slightly processed foods (tortillas, bread, yogurt, pancake mix) are okay too.





Foods that are original are fantastic. Different ethnic foods are great!





Remember the main point is health. I want healthy recipes for one or two people, preferably made with organic ingredients.?
Here is a very good recipe for health-concious cooking. It is nice and autumn-ey, and it can be spicy, simply adjust to taste.





Pumpkin Bread:





1 1/2 cups (210g) flour


1/2 teaspoon of salt


1 cup (200 g) sugar


1 teaspoon baking soda


1 cup (1/4 L) pumpkin pur茅e*


1/2 cup (1 dL) olive oil


2 eggs, beaten


1/4 cup water


1/2 teaspoon nutmeg


1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


1/2 teaspoon allspice





* To make pumpkin pur茅e, cut a pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff, lie face down on a foil or Silpat lined baking sheet. Bake at 180掳C until soft, about 45 min to an hour. Cool, scoop out the flesh. Freeze whatever you don't use for future use. Or, if you are working with pumpkin pieces, roast or boil them until tender, then remove and discard the skin.





1 Preheat oven to 180掳C (350F). Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.





2 Mix the pumpkin, oil, eggs, 1/4 cup of water, and spices together, then combine with the dry ingredients, but do not mix too thoroughly.





3 Pour into a well-buttered loaf pan. Bake 50-60 minutes or until it passes the 'toothpick test.'





You can also use nuts if you like, and of course use whole flour, not white. Olive oil is good for a number of things as well. The spices are very good, and if you include ginger there are some added health benefits. I hope you don't use metric, because I tried to convert this for quite a while but couldn't, and then my host sister came and helped me. xD They don't have metric measures, so I had to change it all to cups, Farenheit, etc. For the sweetener, Demerera sugar will work nicely, with an added molasses flavour, and it will be healthier and heartier than it would otherwise. The pumpkin, whole flour, spices, rich oil, and raw, unprocesed sugar make this recipe very healthy, and my host family enjoyed it!I want healthy recipes for one or two people, preferably made with organic ingredients.?
This is a great recipe using dried fruit, which you cook. It's great on waffles, ice cream, with vanilla or plain yogurt, or just on its own:

And this one is a really good salad recipe that's just a bit different, it uses pears, cranberries and toasted pecans: http://buzz.prevention.com/community/virginia-lw/mixed-greens-with-pears-and-pecans

Easy recipe for two 13 year old girls to make for dinner??

me and my friend want to make dinner for my family tomorrow night. we don't know what to make. its for about 4-7 people...


(i'm having a movie night and peeps mite get hungary so left overs are good!!!) we prefer somthing mexican but italian or anthing else is good too!!!Easy recipe for two 13 year old girls to make for dinner??
I would definitely recommend ';homemade'; pizza and a big salad....buy pre-made pizza crusts from the grocery store (you can get them refrigerated or vacuum-packed--like Boboli), get a few cans or jars of pizza sauce, some pre-shredded mozzarella or ';Italian cheese blend,'; and whatever toppings you like (diced pepperoni is WAY better than the thin slices, and I like canned mushrooms better than fresh). After you put together the pizzas (which is fun and easy), they take about 10 minutes to bake. During that time, you can throw together a few bags of lettuce, some chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, and Italian dressing. Voila....everyone loves pizza!Easy recipe for two 13 year old girls to make for dinner??
Here are some things I and the fam have had recently and loved

TRUE MEXICAN TORTILLAS





3 cups water


1/2 tsp. baking powder


1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil or lard


2 pounds flour


1 teaspoon salt





Heat the water, baking powder, vegetable oil or lard, and salt until it's hot, but just not too hot, just hot enough so that you can touch the water and not be burned.


In a large bowl, pour in the water mixture and add the flour a little-bit at a time until you are finished with the remaining flour. Make sure to mix the water mixture and flour together well. You should have a smooth and elastic dough. Do not use a machine to mix the dough (use your hands).





After mixing the ingredients, cover the dough and refrigerate for about 15 minutes. (This will make the dough easier to work with).





Then take out the dough and heat up a ';comal';, or if you don't have one, simply use a pan. A cast iron skillet works well.





While the pan is heating up, start rolling the tortillas. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the rolling surface so that the tortillas won't stick.





After they are made, start cooking them. When done, keep them warm in foil paper, or like it's done in Mexico, with a soft towel.





Good luck with this recipe. This will show if you have a little Mexican in you.

Challah bread:


Makes 1 braided loaf





Combine in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer and let stand until the yeast is dissolved, about 5 minutes:





1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast


1/2 cup warm (105 to 115 degrees F) water





Add:





1/2 cup all-purpose flour


2 large eggs, lightly beaten


2 egg yolks, lightly beaten


3 tablespoons vegetable oil


3 tablespoons sugar


1 1/4 teaspoons salt





Mix by hand or on low speed until thoroughly blended. Gradually stir in:





2 1/2 cups bread flour





Knead for about 8 minutes by hand or with the dough hook on low to medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn it over once to coat with oil.


Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (75掳 to 80掳F) until doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.


Punch the dough down, knead briefly, and refrigerate covered until it has again nearly doubled in volume (a three-quarter rise is sufficient), 4 to 12 hours.


The dough is now ready to be shaped.





Three-Strand Braided Challah





Anyone who has braided hair or rope will have no trouble here. In fact, you can divide the dough into as many strands as you like and braid accordingly, but this one is a simple 3-strand braid.





Weigh and divide the dough equally into 3 pieces.


On an unfloured work surface, roll into balls and let rest, loosely covered with plastic wrap, for 10 minutes.


Grease a baking sheet and sprinkle it with cornmeal.


Roll each ball into a 13- to 14-inch-long rope, about 1 1/2 inches thick and slightly tapered at the ends.


Dust the 3 dough ropes with rye flour so they will be more distinctly separated.


Place the 3 dough ropes side by side and pinch the top ends together.


Lift the left dough rope and place it between the right and middle ropes.


Lift the right rope and place it between the left and middle ropes, then the left rope between the right and middle ropes and so on until you reach the ends.


Tuck both ends of the braid underneath the loaf and set it on the baking sheet.


Whisk together and brush over the top of the loaf:





1 egg


Pinch of salt





Loosely cover the braid with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until not quite doubled, about 45 minutes.





Preheat the oven to 375掳F. Brush the loaf again with egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with:





1 tablespoon poppy or sesame seeds





Bake until the crust is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.





Four-Strand Braided Challah





Weigh and divide the dough equally into 4 pieces.


On an unfloured work surface, roll into balls and let rise, loosely covered with plastic wrap, for 10 minutes.


Roll the balls of dough into long ropes about 1 inch thick and 20 inches long, slightly tapering the ends.


Dust the ropes of dough with rye flour so they will be distinctly separated.


Arrange the 4 ropes side by side and pinch the top ends securely together.





Braid the strips of dough in the following sequence, as shown above:


Lift and place the fourth strand over the second,


B. Lift and place the first strand over the third,


C, then lift and place the second over the third,


D. Repeat this sequence, placing the strand that is now the fourth over the second,


E, the first over the third,


F, then the second over the third.


Continue braiding until you reach the end of the strands. Pinch the bottom ends together and tuck both top and bottom ends underneath the braid.


Finish as directed for Three-Strand Braided.
