I am trying to eat more appropriately. I have been eating gobs of fast food lately - expensive and unhealthy. I like couscous and rice and I am trying to use brown rice and whole-wheat pasta. Does anyone use grains like quinoa, frakee (sp?), etc? Kasha is a Russian/Jewish ingredient- maybe you've seen it accompanying beef stroganoff or as part of kasha varnishkes. I can handle that. Barley is an Eastern European food too- my grandmother used to make it as a side dish and I like barley soup. So I'm comfortable trying both of those. How do I get more grains and less junk in my diet? I I should be eating more vegetables, too. I keep instant oatmeal packets in my desk drawer at work for quick lunches.

Thank you all,
Elyse

Please try this.

Serves about two people?

I don't know what to call it....except delicious?

I bought a bunch of Tilapia fillets and cooked them on the grilll...Lord, they were fantastic!


4 tilapia fillets - i guess any white fish would be as good!
.5 bell pepper
.5 yellow onion
1 potatoe
salt , pepper and what ever seasoning you like.

First,
Slice all the veggies as thin as possible.

Grab a piece of foil-enough to roll up the fish and keep the juices in.

Place the sliced potato on the foil, followed by the fish.

Take the bell pepper and onion, put that on top of the fish, put the another fillet on top and layer on more potato over that. salt and pepper to taste.

Roll the foil up tightly and toss onto the upper grill of your bbq or grill. If you do not have an upper section? Place the packets at the edge of the grill away from direct flame.

Cook for about 20 minutes, serve the packets with lemon slices and a side dish.

Rice is nice......

When you open the packets do it over the rice! The fish 'gravy' is outta this world.

Get a loaf of hard crusty bread to sop up the juices.



It's a nice tasty dish that is easy to prep, cook and serve.

The last two days I have made pizza dough using this recipe....

http://www.recipepizza.com/doughs/pizza_dough.htm

I doubled the recipe-It calls for one tsp of yeast- a packet is 2.25 tsps, so by doubling it, I can make two batches. Each batch makes about two medium thick crust pies or two large thin crust pizzas.

I also put in two tablespoon of sugar instead of honey.

It's a great dough, easy to work with and very simple to make.

One hint?

Roll it thin- it plumps up to twice it's thickness after cooking.
