Healthy Casseroles

Healthy Casseroles

I recently did a leader training session on healthy casseroles for the Brown County Association for Home and Community Education. A casserole is simply any food that is cooked and served in the same dish. Here are some tips for making healthy casseroles.
Casseroles can be healthy if layered with vegetables, beans and/or lean cuts of meat and whole wheat pasta.
Keep some basic pantry staples on hand to make health casseroles.
- Canned beans add fiber and protein.
- Canned tuna and salmon ad heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and protein. Fat-free and low-fat chicken broths add moisture and flavor.
- Fat-free evaporated milk can be substituted for cream in some recipes. Dried spices, olives and peppers can add bursts of flavor.
- Whole-grain pasta contains disease-fighting, healthy nutrients like folate, magnesium, vitamin E and potassium as well as more fiber.
- Brown rice and wild rice are also healthy options that add flavor and texture to casseroles.
- Fresh or frozen vegetables provide color and lots of nutritional value. If canned soup is called for, look for those with less fat and sodium.

  2. Of course, one of the reasons why this area of Ohio has remained so persistently branded as
    a pocket of joblessness is its failure to recover from the death of the steel industry and
    also because of automotive production lines outsourced to foreign lands.
    Indeed, internet is the best source of because it
    is easily accessible and fast. On you left you will notice list of content providers
    and on the right is the advanced search option where you can search video clips by typing in
    the exact phrase (in quotes), or at least one of
    the keywords to narrow down your search.

  3. It improves blood and oxygen flow to the muscles that are recovering
    from the prior hard workout. Then you'll have no trouble motivating yourself to do it. Remember; there is a difference between a fattening diet and a healthy diet.
