Setting foot in a new year, with a technicolor bright future ahead of us, I want to share my favorite healthy recipes. I figure, they set me afire with inspiration and motivation to eat well, to eat naturally, so maybe that will happen for you too. The very thought of eating them holds enough thrill to send me hurdling to my kitchen.
Learning to cook saved me. While losing weight, I learned to make the meals that I’d loved my whole life in a healthier, lighter way. It was the best and most fulfilling project I’d undertaken. It made my year-long journey worthwhile. This post is a sampling of those dishes.
You will find an obscene number of burger recipes here. You might wonder if I’m The Hamburglar. You might even consider drawing up a business plan with me for our own Wendy’s franchise.
But beyond that, there are lots of re-creations of traditionally decadent dinners. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel inspired too.
Sesame Salmon Burgers with Dill Yogurt Sauce
Turkey Pot Pie with Cornbread Crust
Chicken with Creamy Mustard Mascarpone Marsala Sauce
Spicy Coconut Chicken with Mango Basil Salsa
These all look amazing!!!
What a great post to help us all get 2011 started in a healthy way! Can’t wait to make the nachos and buffalo chicken!
I want a bit of everything!
It all looks great, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the vegan black bean burger. I love how you can see the ingredients in it, it’s not all just ground up into who knows what.
I am totally planning to make at least one of these recipes this week. They all look DELICIOUS! Thanks for doing a round-up for us lazy folks :)
Happy New Year!
Dal Makhani looks so good! There is about 4 recipes up there I’m dying to try! Thanks girl!!
Happy New Year!
Those black bean burgers look INCREDIBLE! Mine are usually too crumbly but yours are perfect. I’ll have to try it out.
