Healthy Recipes was fortunate enough to come across this home made recipe, many years ago. It is easy to make, tastes marvelous and is a basic recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
2 whole oranges
1 cup pure, orange juice, with heart health check on it
2 eggs
1 cup raisins (Sun-Maid are best)
1 cup melted butter (or use extra virgin olive oil much better for you)
1 cup bran into hot melted butter
3 cups Nutri-flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup icing sugar, not packed
1 tsp sea salt
FOLLOW ME:
Place cut oranges and juice in blender.
Add eggs, butter and bran mixture and raisins together and mix.
Add liquid mix to dry ingredients and mix only until flour has been absorbed by liquid.
Bake 20 – 25 minutes at 400 F degrees.
Enjoy these yummy muffins – bran is great for system as well. You can replace butter with warmed olive oil, which is better for you, or just have one muffin instead of two!
Yummy orange muffins may be served for breakfast, brunch or for coffee and tea as a side dish.
Healthy Recipe yields 12 large or 24 small muffins.

Healthy Recipes found this wonderful recipe using orzo in it. Orzo is a pasta (small pieces similar to rice in size). I love pasta (healthy pasta) that is so this was just what I was looking for. Join me!
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz orzo
1 cup frozen peas
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp grated lemon zest (peel)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese crumbled
NOW FOLLOW ME:
In a large pot of boiling water, add orzo according to package directions. Add peas during the last 10 seconds of cooking orzo and drain.
While orzo is boiling on stove, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic to skillet and cook, stirring often, until shallots are tender (2 minutes).
Add chicken and 1/4 tsp of sea salt and saute until chicken is cooked through (4 minutes).
Remove from heat and add remaining 1/4 tsp sea salt, lemon zest, lemon juice and pepper to skillet stirring to coat chicken.
Add drained orzo with peas, mint, and crumbled feta cheese and toss gently to combine.
Recipe is ready to serve hot, or if you wish, it may be served at room temperature or even chilled. That is what I call an uncomplicated recipe! You must try this as it is so tasty.
Healthy Recipe makes 4 servings.
