Answer 3

my fav is jambalaya

take 1 or 2 of your favorite meats brown them off in a pot, remove them add chopped onion and some garlic, smoked paprika, and 1.5 cups of BROWN rice saute for 2 Min's and make sure all the rice is coated in the oil add 3 cups of chicken broth and let simmer covered for 20 Min's add 2 or 3 big hand fulls of collard greens cover and simmer for 25 more Min's, enjoy i usually use smoked sausage and chicken or pork tenderloin for this

Answer 4

One of my favorite things is to dip carrots & celery into hummus, which is made from chick peas.  They are high in fiber and ROCK!

Additionally, Nature's Own had a double fiber bread that has 5 grams of fiber per slice.  If you make a sandwich for one meal, you'll have gotten 10 grams of fiber.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Beans are a great high fiber addition to many soups and casseroles. Canned is easiest for most recipes. Try different kinds - black beans, garbanzo beans, navy beans, kidney beans - and unless they're seasoned (like chili beans), drain and rinse them thoroughly before adding them to the dish. If you're more adventurous, try buying a package of mixed dried beans and make the soup recipe on the package. Most have a seasoning packet - try using only part of the packet if you're concerned about sodium. Split pea soup with ham is a great option, and relatively easy to make (if a bit time consuming).

Breakfast is a great time to add fiber. Check the fiber content of your cereal and switch to something with a bit more oomph if you can. Kashi Go Lean Crunch is tasty and very high fiber (about 1/3 of your daily requirement). I eat it dry, like granola. Quaker Oatmeal Squares is also a good dry snack, and provides almost 1/5th of your daily requirement. Plain old oatmeal, either old fashioned or quick cooking, provides about 15% of your daily requirement.

Try adding flaxseed meal to your oatmeal, casseroles, even salads for an inconspicuous hit of extra fiber.

Answer 6

I love to make teryaki stir fry with tons of veggies!

Broccoli

Bok Choy

Red Bell Peppers

Edamame

Carrots

Sprouts

Etc.

Boil whole wheat linguine for about 12 mins or according to package.

Sautee all of your veggies in a little canola oil until a little soft, add 3/4 bottle of teriyaki sauce (in the asian section of your grocery), 1/2 tablespoon white sugar and stir stir stir, cook for abotu 2-3 mins on medium heat.

Drain pasta and add all of the veggies and sauce to drained pasta and mix.  Add chicken if you'd like.

Or, a great bean salad I make is:

Juice from 2 lemons

1/2 cup olive oil

Bunch of chopped flat leaf parsley

4 garlic cloves chopped, or 2 full tablespoons chopped garlic

Dark Red Kidney Beans

Chic Peas

Garlic Salt (about 1 tsp.)

Toss together and eat with pita or lettuce cups!

So good.

Answer 7

Rather than trying to change your whole lifestyle, modify the recipes you already prepare. Beans are very high fiber and can be added to almost any dish. If you make the beans up ahead of time, from scratch, and store in small containers you can add them to almost any dish...soup, pizza, with a fried egg for breakfast. If you make them yourself, there is a preparation technique that reduces the gas problem. Beans make any meal more filling, higher in protein and fiber.

I also make a Mexican lasagna with beans, enchilada sauce, and low fat cottage cheese. Use the dry lasagna noodle method and let it sit overnight before baking. I freeze portions to reheat later and cover with lettuce and fresh vegetables.
