Healthy Food Recipes

In this day and age, it's become more expensive to eat right. It's become easy and cheap to eat cookies and sweets and fast food all the time, and a lot of people have fallen into that trap. By 2013, seventy-five percent of adult Americans are expected to be clinically obese. There are a multitude of things I could go into regarding this, but the point is this: eating well. Without further ado, a couple of healthy food recipes that are delicious and affordable on any budget.

Imitation Spaghetti
This is a pretty nifty trick. It tastes just like regular spaghetti, but it won't have the high glycemic carbohydrates or be devoid of micronutritional value the way traditional spaghetti noodles are. More protein than regular spaghetti, making this take longer to digest, feed your muscles better, and generally help keep weight off easier than regular pasta. The main ingredient? Eggs. Bear with me here. It may be a healthy food recipe, but that doesn't make it icky.

What You Need:
-Eggs
-Any kind of spaghetti sauce
-Any kind of cheese

Procedure:
-Boil your eggs. This is best achieved, I find, by setting your stove to high, placing a pot about five-eights full of water, waiting for the water to achieve a good rolling boil, and then gently putting your eggs in, one by one, with a pasta strainer, if you have one, or a ladle. For a big bowl of "pasta" for just an individual, about five eggs would suffice. For a group of people, you may want to make as many as two dozen.
-Take the eggs out, after they cool; you may want to run some water over them. Peel them and set the peeled eggs aside for a moment as you finish.
-Now, if you have a cheese grater with large holes or a potato slicer, that'd be great. Assuming you don't have either of those, you could just cut them into slices or wedges with a knife, though the cheese grater adds a decorative touch. But in the words of Raymond's dad from that show, Everbody Loves Raymond, "The mouth knows not ugly." Slice your boiled eggs.
-Having sliced up your eggs, cover them with your spaghetti sauce and cheese as you would with any other pasta meal.
-Eat, and enjoy.

Light Tuna Salad
Surprisingly delicious. This healthy food recipe can be used to make sandwich filler, topping for crackers, or be a stand-alone dish unto itself.

What You Need:
-Eggs
-Tuna
-Mustard
-Pickles
-Pepper (optional, though, isn't everything?)

Procedure:
-Boil your eggs. If you need help with this, see the above section.
-In the mean time, open up a can or package of tuna.
-Also, chop up some pickles. Sweet pickles work great for this.
-Take the eggs out. Peel them and set them aside.
-Slice the eggs in half. Take out the yolk from two out of three eggs.
-Mash together about half as much tuna as you have egg-mostly-whites.
-Add mustard to taste.
-Add your chopped pickles to taste, stirring to get a sense of their distribution.
-Sprinkle pepper as you see fit. Salt may also be a welcomed addition.
-Eat, and enjoy.

This is great on crackers or between two slices of bread. The creamy consistency and the array of flavors are offset well by rye bread or sprouted wheat bread.
