The food business is not complete with bread not placed on the menu. Bread is part of the appetizing dishes, or they could be main course for others who are on a sandwich diet. There are numerous flat bread recipes one can try out such as chapattis, caramelized apple pecan flatbread, basic pizza dough, corn tortilla, flour tortilla, deep dish pizza crust, herbed foccacia bread, homemade pitas, tomato and cheese filled foccacia, pizza dough, pan pizza crust, walnut cheese snaps, caramel whole wheat pita bread and caramel apple flatbread.

Let’s take for instance the last flat bread recipe and learn how to prepare it at your own home kitchen. The ingredients you will need for your Caramel Apple Flatbread are 2 and ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of Quaker oats, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 and ¼ ounce package of quick rising yeast, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¾ cup of water, 1 tablespoon of veggie oil, 1 egg white and 1 cup unpeeled chopped apple. For your topping, you will require ¾ cup of Quaker oats, 2/3 cup of firmly packaged brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ¾ cup of reduced-fat sour cream and ¼ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.

First step in doing your flat bread recipe of Caramel Apple Flatbread is to make your bread first by combining your yeast, flour, oats, sugar and salt in a food processor bowl processor. It’s important that you mix them well as you put the machine on and off. Heat oil and water, then mix it with the flour mixture along with egg white. Wait until dough starts to resemble a ball. Work the dough until smooth so that you can press apples on to them. Place the dough on a smooth surface that’s filled with some flour and start shaping them rectangular. Leave them for 45 minutes in the 400-degree set oven so that they can enlarge but make sure you cover them with plastic.

In flat bread recipes like Caramel Apple, you can do the topping by blending together ingredients like cinnamon, brown sugar and oats. Scatter this mixture equally on top of the dough and pour some pecans afterwards. Bake the topped dough for 18 minutes or more until you notice they turn light golden brown on the sides. After which, your Caramel Apple flatbread is good as served.

The Base: We’re going for simple and easy, here, so, instead of figuring out all the perfect soup base ingredients, let’s just use bouillon cubes. They’re cheap and easy to use. Just add 3 cubes to a gallon of water in a 6 quart Dutch oven or large pot. Use Chicken cubes for poultry soups and beef cubes for beef, lamb or pork. Get the water to start boiling before adding anything but the cubes. Your ingredients determine when to start the base. For example, a meat and vegetable soup can cook for 1 hour, but if bony meats and dried beans are included, it could take 2.5 hours. Actual prep time is about 30-60 minutes…the rest is simmering time.

The Bones: For bones (like left-over turkey, ox tails, etc.), start the base 1/2 hour early and boil the bones, then cool and remove edible parts to return to soup. Bones and shells are O.K. in soup if you warn people when serving.

Dried Beans, Rice, Noodles, etc: The dried stuff determines how long your soup will take to cook. Over 2 hours for dried beans, one hour for lentils, dried peas or rice, 45 minutes for noodles. I keep a variety of all that stuff in the pantry because I never know what I want to add until I’m cooking…it’s usually 3-4 different things. A total of one cup of dried stuff usually gives the soup a solid quality. If you like thinner soups, this is where to do the thinning.

Meat: 1 pound of meat is usually plenty for this size soup. cut in 1/4″ by 2″ strips. Some meats can be cooked ahead and shredded using 2 forks, for a different texture. Raw meat should be added to the soup to cook about 45 minutes.

Vegetables: Make sure to include 8-10 cups of raw vegetables. My main 3 vegetables are carrots, celery and onions. Any vegetable will work, so be creative. Always press and chop 3-6 buttons of fresh garlic to add. It’s a great flavor and aroma enhancer and it is very good for you. Fresh vegetables should be added to cook the last 30 minutes, except green beans (45 min) and leafy vegetables (10 min).

Spices: Most people add spices way too early, cooking off all their flavor. Spices should be added the last 15-30 minutes if you want to notice their contribution to the flavor of the soup. I use a lot of dried basil, fennel seeds, parsley flakes and fresh ground black pepper. This is an area of personal taste, though, so, follow my Mom’s advice. “It’s easier to put it in than to take it out.” Because the Bouillon cubes have enough salt, you should not add more.

If you follow this basic recipe, you can make an unlimited variety of soups. I’ve used this system for about 10-15 batches of soup per year for over 15 years. Using whatever we had at the time, none of the soups were the same, but all were enjoyed. Soup is one of the easiest ways to stretch the food dollar. The ingredients I listed cost about $ 0.50 per serving.

Wow, health, creativity and economy all poured into one bowl. Enjoy!

Most people already know how wonderful crockpot cooking is; throw a few ingredients in a pot, turn it on, and come back eight hours later to a wonderful home cooked meal. We also know that cheaper cuts of meat turn out tender and juicy because they’re cooked with moist heat over long periods of time. Crock pot cooking is perfect for the busy homemaker, the office mom, the busy dad, the work-at-home mom, anyone who has anything to do during the day and is tired by dinnertime, not wanting to spend countless hours preparing dinner for their family. But crock pot cooking is also perfect for the summertime.

Where I live, we have humid, hot, sticky summers where the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven or fire up my gas stove, much less spend time standing around them preparing meals! During the summer I don’t crave meals like chicken and dumplings, lasagna, beef stew, or pork roast. I want light meals with little or no preparation so I’m not standing in a hot kitchen getting even warmer and stickier. So, I use my crock pot! Out of any of the cooking devices in your kitchen, it sets off very little heat and can allow you to put everything into the slow cooker in the morning (when your kitchen is cool) and spoon it up at dinnertime (when your kitchen is not).

Sandwiches are among our favorite summertime meals, especially paired with corn on the cob and a salad. Put a 3 pound beef or pork roast in your crock pot with 1 cup of water. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Remove roast and shred meat, replace to crock pot and add a bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce. Stir, cover and cook on high an additional 15-20 minutes. Serve on sandwich buns - a great summertime meal.

Brats are also a huge summertime meal where I live, and many techniques have been created to prepare them properly. Many simmer their brats over a low flame on their stove in beer for hours, heating up their kitchen as they do so. I use my crockpot! Place 12 brats in your crock pot, cover with 3-4 cans of beer (the cheaper the better), add one chopped onion and 4 cloves of minced garlic. Cover and cook on high 7-8 hours. Remove brats and grill over a low flame until browned. Serve in hot dog or brat buns with ketchup, mustard, minced onion, and other desired toppings.

The crock pot is a wonderful kitchen appliance that should not be ignored during the summer. For more great summertime crock pot recipes, view this article on Natalie’s Recipes.

The word DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and the diet has been proven to lower blood pressure in as little as 14 days. The diet provides guidelines on how many servings from each food group should be eaten daily. To increase heart healthy minerals like, calcium, magnesium and potassium more servings of vegetables are eaten daily. When most people eat less meat and more vegetables, while cutting out junk food they end up reducing their calorie intake. Of course reducing daily calorie intake can lead to weight loss. The diet also stresses reduced sodium and for this reason processed foods should be limited, whole grains and other high fiber foods are encouraged.

Ironically this diet is endorsed by the Mayo Clinic, not the fad 3 day grapefruit diet which often wrongly carries the name of the Mayo Clinic in it. Anyone Looking for DASH diet recipes should get the book, The Dash Diet Action Plan by Marla Heller. The book not only has recipes but a complete 28 day meal plan and gives guidance on how to adjust calorie intake for more weight loss. It also contains more helpful tips on lowering your blood pressure by making positive changes to ones lifestyle.

The DASH diet is a healthy common sense approach to nutrition. It is easy to follow and though it does restrict or limit certain foods, you won’t be left feeling hungry. The diet isn’t just for those who are looking to eat heart healthy diets. Some of the recommendations like eating less processed foods can and should be part of any diet plan.
