Siobhan's Healthy and Simple Recipes

Cooking healthy and tasty meals shouldn't have to be time-consuming or stressful. I rarely use a cookbook, instead opting for experimentation. The following recipes are my very own creations.

Spinach Delight

This dish is my own personal take on quiche. Who has time to make real quiche these days? And it's so fatty with that crust. Here is a simple solution which is even tastier than the real thing.

Lots of washed, uncooked spinach broken into pieces

2 slices of ham cut in pieces

Half an onion cut into pieces

1 or 2 Fresh mushrooms sliced

1 1/2 slices of whole wheat or multigrain bread broken into bits

Grated marble cheese

Dash of black pepper

1 egg beaten

1/2 cup milk 2%

Put a layer of bread bits on bottom of aluminum pie pan. Pour egg milk mixture over top. Add spinach, press spinach down so that it is soaked. Sprinke ham and mushroom. Sprinkle onions last. Sprinkle grated cheese over top. Add small sprinkle of black pepper. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30-40 minutes. Grill for a couple minutes. Take out, cool down for 5 minutes. Cut, scoop out with pancake flipper, eat.

Beans and Toast

This dish is really simple, yet really satisfying.

Pinto Beans

Kidney Beans

Chilli Pepper

Red Pepper chopped

Green Pepper chopped

Chopped tomato

Chopped onion

Tomato Sauce

Black Pepper and Salt, just a dash

Sprinkling of grated marble cheese

Mix all the ingredients together except for the cheese. Decide how much you want to eat, put in bowl, sprinkle with grated cheese. Warm up in microwave 1-2 minutes. Eat with a slice of whole wheat or multigrain toast.

Curry Rice

2 tsp of yellow curry

2 cups of rice

2 1/2 cups of water

2 tbs of butter

1/2 tsp of brown sugar

1 small onion chopped

1 cup black raisins

1/2 tsp of salt

3/4 cup almond splinters

Mix all the ingredients together in a large pot. Bring to boil, reduce temp to medium low, continue to boil till most of liquid is gone, cover with lid and boil on low until liquid is gone. Stir frequently before putting lid on. Careful not to burn, adjust temp. accordingly.
