My Favorite Recipes with Soybean Oil #SoyParaSoy

In my search for healthier eating for my family I found some great recipes. Although a lot of the recipes aren’t something that my family would normally eat, the recipes can easily be adapted to make my family think they aren’t eating healthy! Today I am going to share with you some of my favorite recipes with Soybean oil.

A lot of people have misconceptions about Soybean oil and are surprised to learn that it is one of the most versatile ingredients that you can have and use in the kitchen. Soybean oil helps you create all your favorite traditional meals without compromising on taste.

Wholesome Soy Berry Pancakes

SoyBerryPancakes

This is one of Chucky’s favorites whether it is for breakfast or dinner he loves pancakes and these seem easy enough to pull off without turning him off of eating healthy!

Eggplant Fries with Zest Lemon Yogurt

When we sit together as a family, we usually don’t have hors d’oeuvre. Those are usually saved for the special occasions or for game day snacks however I did find a couple that I would love to try anytime!

With 10 ingredients or less, these not only look delicious but seem like something my family would love to have for any occasion.

Soy Turkey Chili

During the colder months I find myself making more soups to keep the family warm and filled so when I found this chili recipe I knew it was something I could make for my family.

I am positive that they wouldn’t be able to tell that I used ground turkey breast with all of those flavors.

Soy Soft Tacos

We eat a lot of tacos around here not just because they are easy and good but because it’s something that everyone likes and won’t complain about when they ask what’s for dinner.

Delectable Doughnut Bites

If there is one thing that would get a lot of attention at our house it would be these mini bites of heaven! Whether you roll them in sugar, stuff with jam or dip in a lemon curd creme they are perfect for portion control!

You may remember my Spanish Rice with Soybean oil recipe. It’s to show you that you can keep your families favorite Mel’s and just make them a bit healthier!

Luckily there are a lot more recipes with Soybean oil coming to fruition so we can still feed our families the food they love but do it with a healthier twist!

Soybean oil has several better-for-you health benefits that make it the perfect choice for family cooking:

  • Contains 0g trans fat per serving.
  • Serves as a principal source of omega-3s which can help reduce blood pressure and prevent heart disease.
  • Great source of vitamin E which prevents cell damage that may lead to diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
  • Contains unsaturated fats and when it replaces saturated fats, it may lower cholesterol levels.

      They do don’t they?! Surprisingly Stevie, you may already have it in your pantry. Take a look at the ingredients on the oil that you already have and see if it says Soybean oil. Also it isn’t expensive, you can get the store brand and it will probably be Soybean oil! Which makes it nice to know that you really are cooking healthier for your family and didn’t even know it(Psst, I won’t tell)!!
      Thank you for stopping by(:

  2. While everything looks and sounds delicious, the one I’d love to try is the Eggplant Fries with Zest Lemon Yogurt! That sounds absolutely ummmy yummy!

      I know! I figure if they can make other veggies into fries, why not eggplant! The recipe is really easy and if you can’t find/don’t like some of the ingredients you can easily substitute something else in it’s place!
      Will you let me know if you try this? I want to try it this weekend(:
      Thank you for stopping by Rose!

  3. Wow, you made all that with Soybean oil? Everything looks delicious, especially the donut bites!

      Nope I didn’t make all of these but have used Soybean oil to create other family favorite recipes that are just as healthy and delicious with the special ingredient that might already be in your pantry. Check the back of your oil and it may be Soybean oil….Cool right?
      Thank you for stopping by(:

  4. WOW these are some amazing amazing soy dishes! The pancakes and the tacos look delish!

      What I like about them is that your family wouldn’t know the difference by substituting a few other ingredients!
      Thank you for stopping by Katherine(:

  5. Yum! These sound like delicious recipes. I’ve never heard of soybean oil but I’ll have to check it out.

      They all look so good right? You should check your pantry-look on the back of your vegetable oil and it might say that your using Soybean oil! Go ahead I will wait……only joking but it is pretty neat that you don’t have to go out and spend extra money to make simple changes!!

      I haven’t either until now and can’t wait to try them. I figure if I like zucchini fries, sweet potato fries and all those other goodies these shouldn’t be too bad either(:
      Thank you for stopping by Laura!

    Thanks for this post! I am on the same quest as you and finding healthy food that my kids will eat is tricky!

      • January 16th, 2013

      I find that if I try to make a whole new dish it doesn’t work but if I substitute some ingredients into something flavorful like chili he won’t know the difference(:
      Thank you for stopping by Heidi!

      Hi Dee, oh yes who doesn’t love doughnuts and especially when they’re little bite sized pieces of heaven?! Sorry I just made my mouth water (again)!
      You probably have used Soybean oil and don’t even know it, it’s usually in the majority of vegetable oils-it’s even in the store brand oils, which makes it inexpensive and good for you!
      Thank you for stopping by(;

  11. I love, love, love eggplant fries!! I have never used soybean oil though. Might have to now, huh?
