Healthy Juicing Recipes

Finding healthy juicing recipes helps to create a little more variety in your fruit and veggie diet. Juicing raw food has become a new staple in my household.

My nephew has all of the common food allergies plus a few more. He isn't completely on solid foods yet and is a bit caution when trying something new. We found that by juicing we can get a better variety of food in him, and he really loves the juice!


For this healthy juicing recipe I used the following.
Note: It's best to buy organic when possible for juicing.
2 small cuties
1/2 cucumber
1 celery
1 pear
3 leaves red cabbage
2 carrots
3 apples

Place softest fruits/vegetables into juicer first then follow with the harder ones such as carrots and apples this will help to push everything through.

Currently I do not have a fancy juicer, I am using and old Hamilton that seems to work just fine for the moment.

If you have a picky eater in your household due to food allergies or not try juicing. I find that pears, apples and carrots help to add a sweet flavor so don't let the color scare you off : ) it's really tasty!

I hope you enjoy this recipe!

Chicken Wing Recipe and Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients for baked chicken wing recipe:

1 Package frozen chicken wings
1/2 Lemon
Olive Oil

For Sauce:
2 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Celery Salt
1 tbl Honey Mustard (Annie's Organic)
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Water
1/4 cup Honey


Preheat oven to 400

Grease pan with olive oil and drizzle 1 tbl lemon or 1/2 lemon, mix around to coat with all of the frozen wings and place in the oven. Bake for 40 mins.

Immediately start the sauce, pour all ingredients into a sauce pan, stirring with a whisk bring to a boil, let boil for a few minutes then reduce to low or simmer. Allow to simmer until ready to pour onto chicken wings, stir occasionally.

Check chicken wings after 40 mins and lightly coat with sauce (1/4 cup), place back into oven for 10 mins.

Next remove chicken wings and place into a frying pan with a tbl olive oil, cooking on medium heat, pour remaining sauce over wings and fry for approx. 10 mins until nice and crisp.

Marinated Herb Chex Crusted Chicken

I use to love Shake and bake which I can no longer eat due to the ingredients, which may be a good thing. It is easy to make your own seasoning and probably a little healthier since you can control the ingredients. I served this chicken alongside zucchini squash pasta and white sauce.

Ingredients:
2 hours to Marinate
4 chicken breast
1/2 fresh Lemon
1 cup chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1 min leaf
1/2 cup Gluten Free Rice Chex
1/2 cup Rice flour
1/4 tsp Celery Salt, Italian Seasoning, ginger


Place chicken on cutting board and cover with parchment paper, flatten chicken with a meat mallet if you have one (I used a small frying pan).
Next place chicken in a zip lock bag. Add the juice from 1/2 lemon, 1 cup chicken stock and the whole bay and mint leaf to the bag along with the chicken and place into the fridge. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 - grease baking pan with olive oil

With your hand crush the Chex in a bag until there are no whole pieces left, add Chex to flour along with celery salt, Italian seasoning and ginger and mix together.

Pour a little bit of the mixture onto a plate (enough to coat one piece of chicken), add more of the mix as needed to coat each chicken (you can take the chicken from the marinade mixture and set onto Chex/flour mixture to coat). Place the chicken into a pan lightly greased with olive oil and bake for 20-30 mins until chicken is lightly browned and cooked.

Zucchini and Yellow Squash Pasta

A little variation on pasta and a great way to add veggies to your dish. I served this with a white sauce and chicken.

Ingredients:
3 small zucchini's
2 med yellow squash
Salt
water

Chop zucchini and yellow squash into strips. Bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add Zucchini and Squash, allow to boil for 1-3 mins, stir occasionally. These don't take long to cook, if you leave in the water for too long they will turn to mush.

Basic White Sauce

I love white sauce, it is versatile and can be used for so many dishes. My grandma always made it with butter, added cheese and poured over diced potatoes, it was so yummy! This variation, while I can't add cheese, is very delicious. I added the below optional seasoning to mine and it reminded me of a creamy onion sauce, it tasted great over zucchini and squash.

Ingredients:
2 tbl Olive oil
2 tbl Rice Flour
Pinch of Salt
1 cup rice milk
1/4 water

Optional: 1/4 tsp minced onion, celery salt, ground mustard, basil

Heat olive oil in pan, add flour and mix. Slowly add milk (1 to 2 tbls at a time) while stirring constantly, a roux will form (looks doughy), stir for a min then add remaining milk and then water. If you would like add in the optional seasonings or your own choice of seasonings. If you want the sauce to be a little thinner add 1 tbl of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Mango Sausage Corn Dog _ no stick no corn

No more corn dogs from the freezer! These dogs, actually sausages, are quick and easy and a great way to hide some spinach in your food.

Ingredients:

1 package (contains 4) Aidell's Mango Sausage (or sausage of your choice)
1/3 cup frozen spinach

For Bread Mix:
2/3 cup brown rice flour
1 tsp Flax Meal
1/4 tsp Paprika, Ground Mustard, Celery Salt, Ginger
Pinch of Nutmeg
3/4 water

Chopped the sausage and place into a skillet with a tsp of olive oil, crisp the sausage on medium heat then and add in spinach and cook on low (stirring occasionally).

Mix together all ingredients for bread mix and pour over sausages, bring back to medium heat until bread is fully cooked (approx 5-10 mins), the bread doesn't take long to cook, flip around the sausages to evenly coat and prevent sticking (stir occasionally).
