Healthy Eating Help

I try to find new, exciting, healthy recipes every week. Not the easiest of tasks but there are some great websites that can help. I thought I would share some of my favorite locales for health-eating ideas online. And, of course, I had to throw in my own Radish Arugula Salad pictured below because how fancy does that look?! 

I roasted radishes and white carrots with a little olive oil and salt'n'peppa. Then, I added the roasted veggies to arugula and mixed lettuce for a healthy (and tasty) meal. The fella thought it might be a little too healthy and asked for some honey mustard dressing - which I was able to whip up in a jiffy with just a little honey, stone-ground mustard, and olive oil!

I'm always looking for creative veggie combos as well as ways to kick up a salad from ho-hum to actually enjoyable. Ugh. I've been working toward healthier and am always looking for suggestions to step up boring veggies.

Here are some of my favorite resources for cleaning & healthy living...

The Gracious Pantry

Monday Meal Planning

I have triumphantly returned to the kitchen!! I made a fabu strawberry bruschetta and I just might put up the recipe here. We'll see. I served it with Zucchini and Lemon Spaghetti (recipe link below) and a Cesar Salad. Delish. I'm overjoyed to have my kitchen back in check. Ready for the Great Organizing to begin. Moving sucks.

Zucchini and Lemon Spaghetti

This was amazingly delicious. I used quinoa spaghetti and a a few slight modifications. We even liked it more than the Linguine with Zucchini & Chickpeas we make every couple weeks, also delicious. 

Healthy Mac'n'Cheese with Butternut Squash & Broccoli

I have to throw a lot of vegetables into every dish to get my fella to eat them. He's like the opposite of a picky child. Sometimes, it is equally annoying. I have to squeeze in a few more butternut squash dishes before the season passes.

Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes

There was a special on blueberries and I thought, "Pancakes!" Then, I realized I'm not the biggest pancake fan... Well, I go through phases. Anyway, you don't need the history of me and pancakes. I am going to make this. Any opportunity to pull out the cast-iron pan, a gift from Aunt Amy. 

Orecchiette with Wilted Spinach, Kale & Pine Nuts

Pasta has always been a favorite of mine but I'm trying to find healthier versions. Kale is the new world order.

Banana Pudding Pie

I made a chocolate pie one night when a friend came over for dinner. He then put in a request for a banana pie. This is actually something I've had on the brain for a bit anyway, so I'm all about it. This one has a Nilla Wafer Crust (FYI) and the pudding is homemade!!
