Question: Healthy, BUT delicious recipes or where to get them?


Answers: Healthy, BUT delicious recipes or where to get them?

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Middle Eastern Chicken Sloppy Joe, Food Network

Quinoa and Black Beans, AllRecipes
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-and-...
(Quinoa is a grain (I think) that is incredibly good for you and very high in protein)

Also, try this noodle-free lasagna recipe that my friend sent me:

Noodle-free, Meat-free Lasagna

Serves 4

? Cooking Spray
? 1/2 lb (7.5 cups) fresh spinach (you could easily use frozen whole leaf spinach)
? 2 lb Zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/8 inch thick slices
? 15 oz part-skim ricotta
? 1 egg white
? 1/2 c grated Parmesan
? 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
? 1 tsp salt
? 1/4 tsp nutmeg
? 1 can (14.5 oz) whole peeled tomatoes
? 1/2 small yellow or red onion
? 1 clove garlic
? 1/4 tsp black pepper
? 1 c grated part skim mozzarella

Heat oven to 425.

Coat an 8" x 8" baking pan with cooking spray.

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray, heat over high heat. Add spinach. Stir until leaves wilt (this was easiest to do using tongs), about 5 minutes. Place in a colander to drain.

Coat skillet with cooking spray again; heat over high heat. Cook zucchini in batches, 2-3 min per side. Drain on paper towels.

Squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Mix spinach, ricotta, egg white, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, basil, 1/2 tsp of the salt and nutmeg in a bowl; set aside.

Puree tomatoes, onion, garlic, pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp salt in food processor.
Spread 1/2 the sauce on bottom of pan. Layer zucchini on top like you would with noodles, then 1/2 the ricotta mixture (i just dug in with my hands bc it's hard to spread around with a spoon). Add a layer of zucchini and remaining half of ricotta and sauce (ending with sauce). add mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until cheese browns...about 30 min. Let it sit for 10 min or so before cutting so it sets up.

Also, a Food Network show that I really like is Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger. Check out her recipes here:
