I decided to make this thead, where we can share healthy eating recipes. Whatever, diet you are on like Pelo , weight watchers or others.

Feel free to post a recipe, your favorite dish or snack.

I found one , it's very simple instead of soda use mineral water with your favorite juice. I know it's not coca cola or anything it's very good.

I also, sauté purple onions, mushrooms and asparagus in extra virgin olive oil with garlic.

I make my eggs scrambled, but with no milk because I'm lactose intolerant. I start with sundried tomatoes in a jar with olive oil, so I don't put oil or butter in the pan the oilve oil in the tomatoes works for that. Ok, so once the il has heated I through in a couple handfulls of spinach or kale, then once that starts to wilt I put the eggs in and scramble, I like you red pepper for seasoning and sprinkle italian blend shredded cheese.

Lately I've been making my own protein shakes. Sometimes I use my protein powder, chocolate, sometimes I used greek yogurt as my protein source, heck sometimes I use both with a handful of frozen berries and frozen kale. But a good breakfast on the go.....start with about 6-8 ounces almond milk, or lowfat milk, I use almond because of the lactose intolerance. then half to one full cp greek yogurt (or reg yogurt but there's way more nutrients and less calories and carbs in greek) a banana, frozen berries, or fresh any of your choosing, and like 1/4 cups granola cereal...and kale for added nutrients, or not you can skip that. blend blend blend, it's delicious.

St Dalfour is a line of foods from France and I get cases of their jams sent by Amazon.
They come in 1 oz jars, and they are completely natural. Not made with added sugar, it seems any extra sweetening is grape juice.

It's fun to have gluten free toast with jam that is really just a fruit serving.

Scored some of this stuff earlier today:

Almond butter sounds so good, got to try it

I like using sauerkraut. Very good for the digestive system. Can use right out of the jar in dishes or fry it. I make a nice tuna sandwich with sauerkraut on top. This and yorgut keep the digestive system running.

Tonight we are going to make pancakes with quinoa flour, raspberries mixed in, and with Morningstar Farms Bacon, which is made from soy.

Botti, that looks real good!

I also like chia seeds...

you can get non-dairy kefir too-

yesterday we saw my parents for a "post-Thanksgiving/hubby b-day party"
<with my parents moving and the medical issues they've had in the last several months, my mom did forget my husband's birthday <no he wasn't upset> and we went out to eat for Thanksgiving. So we planned a later celebration for at their new condo.

I got a regional, humanely-raised turkey from the health food store and my mom de-frosted and cooked it. I got stuff for salad and brought that over yesterday when we went there.
In the salad, I had apples, peas, various types of organic greens, coconut cheese, carrots, tomatoes, celery, cucumber, tomato, yellow bell pepper and onion. I like to try different things in salads.


I really like this almond milk yogurt: So Delicious Dairy Free | Cultured Almond Milk

Yummy!

I just impressed the hell out of myself, created a new recipe. It's not exactly "low fat" but I'm not trying to lose weight, I can afford it, AND you body does need fat. In my recipe I used coconut oil, which is a saturated fat but there is some debate how it's a healthier alternative to butter, also a saturated fat. Coconut oil, just isn't that saturated, it liquifies very very quickly, just put some in your hand and it will liquify, butter won't do that. Any if fat is an issue olive oil can be substituted. okay

My dinner was salmon with butternut squash, kale, mushroom and avocados (also a fat source but an excellent "good" fat source plus it rocks)

I salt and peppered a salmon filet (next time I'll use 2) in a tbsp coconut oil, when that was close to done I put my mushrooms in the pan and added a lil more oil, the mushrooms were going to take longer to cook than everything else coming. In the mean time I took a package of prediced butternut squash and poked holes in it and nuked it for 3 minutes...just for faster cooking and to ensure doneness. Once the salmon was done I took it out and put it on a plate, added a little more oil to the pan and threw in a couple handfuls of kale and the sliced avocado, once the kale started to wilt I added the butternut squash. Oh yes , the sauce...while that stuff was cooking I mix a I don't a couple tbsps of dijon mustard and lemon juice, just use as much as you want, how ever saucey you want it. So once the the butternut sqaush had been in for a couple minutes I added my mustard sauce, stirred, then threw in my salmon filet and used the spatula to break it up and mix it all in. It was AWESOME!! Net time I'll use 2 filets so it has more salmon, protein!!! in the mix.

I like to play in the kitchen sometimes.

I always get queezy when I see mention of tomato sauce or fish. Because od the acid content tomatoes should only be bought in glass, never a can. BPE will stay with you a long time.
Salmon is one of those fish that have to be fresh water raised otherwise you got mercury or hormones and antibiotics in the farm ocean farmed fish. Have to know where the fish came from and hope you are being told the truth.
Same goes for tuna. It has to be albortose, spelling sucks. Otherwise the regular tuna will be full of mercury or other junk you don't want to put in a "healthy" meal.
I love fish, but if I don't know for sure where it came from I will limit it to once a month.

Depends on what you mean by "healthy". I'm doing a cyclical ketogenic diet currently.

Dinner tonight was:
lean ground beef, baked till done, with a bit of raw spinach and cheese stuffed inside and topped with 1.5 slices of turkey bacon. Shaped like a burger

Like... 7 Brussels sprouts cut in half, tossed in olive oil/salt/pepper/crushed red pepper, then roasted in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes.

About a cup of raw spinach tossed with a teaspoon of cheese and dressing made with crushed garlic, olive oil, rice vinegar, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper

It all fit into my macros for fat/protein/carbs and came out to about 12 carbs for the meal

Fat free Baked Chicken Mozzarella:

2 - 3 boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 small carton of egg beaters original
1 - 2 hand-full of Italian bread crumbs
1 package fat free shredded Mozzarella cheese
Garlic powder
Parsley large flakes
(any other Italian seasoning you like)
1 package whole wheat Ziti pasta
1 Jar Trader Joe's Pomodoro sauce
1 can Smart Balance or Pam olive oil spray

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
Spray a glass backing pan with olive oil spray

Pour Pomodoro sauce into pan to simmer for 40 min.

In one dish place bread brumbs and seasoning(Garlic, Parsley etc)
In another dish place egg beater

Hammer chicken breast until they are flattened
Wet breast in egg beater
Roll and rub breast in Italian bread crumbs with seasoning added.
Place breast in pan and put in oven for 30 - 40 min.
Turn over chicken at 15 - 20 min
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and cook for rest of time.

Add cold water to pot (after cooking chicken for 10 min)
(I don't add salt to keep the sodium down)
Bring water to boil and add ziti pasta

At this point turn of the heat on the sauce
(you want the sauce to thicken again)

I think I will try this, but I'm going to substitute the cheese to be fat free and the olive oil for extra virgin to reduce the fat content and burn off rate.
