As far as low gi banana bread recipes go, this one is my favorite. It is the perfect snack for those early evening cravings and it also goes great with a cup of tea or a cold glass of milk. You can spread a slice with a small amount of non-hydrogenated margarine, but I find a warm slice of this bread is excellent on its own.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

3/4 cup ground flaxseed

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

3 very ripe, medium bananas, mashed

6 tbsp SPLENDA® brown sugar blend

3/4 tbsp lemon juice plus enough skim milk to make 3/4 cup (or use 3/4 cup buttermilk)

4 egg whites

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with non-stick spray. Measure 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best) into a measuring cup and pour in skim milk for a total of one cup. Do not stir. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can simply use 1 cup of buttermilk if you have this ingredient on hand.

In a large bowl, blend flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and set aside.

Beat egg whites and sugar. Add bananas and vanilla and beat lightly.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine until well mixed. Add walnuts and stir until combined.

Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes.

Chicken can be just as healthy as a salad, especially if it is skinless and you choose to grill instead of fry. This healthy chicken breast recipe has it all. With a mouth watering plum sauce, it is sure to please. That good flavor will give your family something to talk about between each and every bite.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless-skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups fresh plums, chopped
• ½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. ginger
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. plum jelly
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. black pepper

Parsley as a garnish (optional)

To Make:

Preheat the oven to 375. The glaze for this recipe may be made the day before you plan to make this dish. It just will need to be refrigerated. If you use fresh plums, they will need to have the pits removed before using.

You can use canned or frozen varieties of this fruit if you want to. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the plums, the plum jelly, cornstarch, and the soy sauce. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water.

Now gradually add the brown sugar while stirring. Next, add the lemon juice and ginger. Continue mixing. Lastly, add the garlic and onion powder, and the black pepper. Once this plum glaze has been mixed well, it is ready to use.

Place each chicken breast, one by one, into the mixing bowl and cover each it with the plum glaze. Do this for each chicken breast. Then put the chicken breasts in a baking pan. You can add one more spoonful of plum glaze to each chicken breast before putting them in the oven if you wish. Bake this dish on 375 for 25-30 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven. Top each piece of chicken with parsley before serving.

Serves 4.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching in the United States, but it doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving for your to appreciate this Thanksgiving turkey recipe! Make sure you start about 5 hours before dinnertime to have enough time to cook this Thanksgiving turkey recipe!

To make this Thanksgiving Turkey recipe you will need the following ingredients:

• A 12 pound turkey (will feed about 10 people)
• A roasting bag
• 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1/4 cup organic shallots, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup organic carrots, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup organic celery, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup organic beet, finely chopped
• 3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tsp of honey

In general a 12-15 lb turkey will feed 10-12 people, a 15-18 lb turkey will feed 14-16 people and a 18-22 lb turkey will feed 20-22 people. If you want to use a larger Thanksgiving turkey, adjust the ingredients accordingly.

Preheat the oven to 325°.

In a large bowl combine your chopped shallots, carrots, celery, beet and garlic together.

Rub the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wings under the turkey and place the turkey in a large oven roasting bag. Place your vegetable mixture over and around the turkey and add two teaspoons of honey into the mix. Fold the top of the bag over and place turkey, breast up, into your roasting pan.

This is the secret that will make your Thanksgiving turkey super moist and delicious. Add water to a depth of about 1 inch in the pan.

Roast turkey for 3 to 3 1/2 hours hours. If you want to use a meat thermometer, insert your needle into the thickest part of the leg (but not touching the bone). The temperature should be 165° to 170°.

At this point, you want to carefully remove the Thanksgiving turkey from the bag. Increase the oven temperature to 450° and roast the turkey for 30 minutes longer. Turkey should be a golden brown by now. If it’s not, leave it for another 10-15 minutes.

Carefully remove the turkey from the oven and transfer the turkey to a platter without the juices. Transfer the juices to a separate bowl and let everyone use it as gravy.
