Posted by Carole-Anne on March 27, 2008

Healthy Recipes has had this recipe for 25 years, and chooses it for use at a tea party, or after dinner tea if there are more than 6 – 8 people.  Very tasty tea it is indeed.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups lightly packed Splenda sugar replacement

2 – 3 cinnamon sticks

1 tsp whole cloves

1 1/2 cups real orange juice

1 1/2 cups real lemonade

8 regular tea bags (I prefer Salada or Celestial)

NEXT TO DO:

Combine Splenda sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves with 5 cups of water.  Bring this mixture to a boil.

Add orange juice and lemonade. Simmer.

Combine tea bags and 4 cups boiling water to make a strong tea.  Add this mixture to above mixture of juices and water.

To serve Healthy Recipe of tea, add 1/2 cup of tea mixture and one half of hot boiling water.  Voila – excellent tea to surprise your guests!

Healthy Recipe to serve 15 – 20 people.  This is the best recipe.  Cut it down if you wish to make smaller amounts.  Ciao for now.

POTATO PEPPER PAN (MY FAVORITE)

Posted by Carole-Anne on

This is an excellent, easy side dish to serve with chicken, pork,  fish, or any egg dishes. 

I use 1 tbsp butter (bad bad girl) but to be healthier, one could use 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil?  I think I will start doing that as well.  Believe me, it will taste just as special with the olive oil.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 cups diced potatoes (I use red/white fresh potatoes and leave the skins on) just wash them well.

1 cup green and 1 cup red pepper diced

1/4 cup skim milk

3/4 tsp Sea salt

Freshly ground pepper

1 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

FOLLOW ME:

Saute potatoes in extra virgin olive oil. 

Add green and red peppers;  saute just until just cooked. (5 minutes).

Stir in milk, sea salt, then sprinkle well with freshly ground pepper.

Place in glass baking dish 9″x 13” and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 400 F degrees for 15 minutes at the most.

Healthy Recipe serves 4 – 6 people.  Yummy!
