Healthy Recipes for Curves All-Day Booth

[manderyoder]

I'm in need of some healthy recipes for an all-day booth I am doing at Curves. I have the It's Good For You cookbook and I found a few recipes that are lowfat/lowcal on CS. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions that'd be great!

Thanks!

I think salad tools would be a big hit! The spinner, chopper, herb holder, etc. Also the measure, mix & pour for the salad dressings. Spices would also be a big hit, along with stoneware because you don't need fats to cook on them.

I would demo small cups of salad and make it throughout the day.

The thing about the Measure Mix & Pour is that the dressings aren't healthy! Take a look at the ones printed on there --- they're almost entirely oil. Yeah, you could use it for other homemade salad dressings, but don't promote the recipes printed on it as being healthy. Remember -- most salads nowadays have just as much fat as burgers!

True that... I agree... but the trick is the AMOUNT of dressing you put on your salad. You can also use canola oil and splenda if something calls for sugar.

I'd rather have fresh, homemade dressing in moderation than the packaged ones that are full of chemicals to make them fat-free

the turkey tetrozinni is a good one if you use lighter ingredients.. i do weight watchers and love it!

So VERY True. I use a good quality olive oil, and a variety of vinegars and spices, and make awesome homemade dressings. Your body NEEDS good fats, not artificial junk!

Oh man, I can get so passionate on this subject!

yeah, I tried the asian salad dressing from the MM&P for the asian chicken salad that in the deep covered baker book posted on this site, we hated it!! I changed it to the benihana ginger salad dressing that is on the web, except I sub canola oil for the peanut oil.

at splenda website there is a mango mojito pie recipe that is well received. I did it last night for a show using PC tools (I made it ahead of time) and strawberries instead of mangoes, and it was really good!!
