Healthy Recipes
Anyone have any good recipes they're cooking lately?
I'm finishing up a 21 day whole food (almost all plant based) diet next week, and excited to start eating some more variety.... AND not fall back into my old bad habits. Some of the whole30 recipes look very good. I'll start with this one that I've been enjoying. Cucumber Avocado Salad 1/2 cucumber chopped into bite size pieces >15 cherry tomatoes 1/4 red onion diced 1 avocado diced 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp olive oil salt to taste. Toss and serve. I've seen a similar recipe with dill, so it seems like a good base to experiment with some different flavors.

I have a handful of favorites from Shalane Flanagan's Run Fast Eat Slow cookbook.
Tonight I'll be making her Breakfast meets Dinner bowl: Red or black beans and rice as base Sauteed spinach one avocado, diced or sliced feta cheese salsa two fried eggs on top Doing this from memory... I strongly recommend the cookbook...and don't make the mistake I did...I bought the Kindle version, then bought hardcopy because its more beautiful and easier...

Agree
I agree on that book, i love it...
One of my favorites is the broccoli soup that is in there... well worth making this... tastes creamy and delicious and there is nothing bad in it... to go vegan, just swap out the butter for oil and pass on the chevre... really simple and really good...

Savory oatmeal has been a pretty easy to make staple:
1/3 cup oatmeal 1 cup water dash of soy sauce dash of sesame oil Microwave for 2 minutes Crack an egg in Microwave for another minute (makes a softboiled egg) top with homemade kimchi to taste. Other additives to make it fancy: Sesame seeds white pepper lightly pan fried tofu |

I made a quinoa/lentil/pea/barley salad last week that was pretty good. Modified the "Quinoa salad with dried Persian Lime" recipe from Ottolenghi's "Plenty"
I was low on quinoa but had a package of dried peas, lentils and barley from Whole Foods....I think it was for making a soup. Any dried stuff you like would work. Original recipe called for wild rice... Anyway....
Good stuff....served with poached cod w/ blistered cherry tomatoes....

Perfect time of the year for this thread as coming from mostly eating soups over the winter I tend to struggle for a while making cooler food. Anyway one of my favorite summer food is a black bean burger.
Ingredients: 1 Can black beans rinsed and mashed 3/4 C oats (food processed till fine) 3/4 C walnuts/pecans (food processed till fine, not nut butter) 1 Onion (saute) 1 Red bell pepper (saute) 3 cloves garlic (saute) 2 dates (lightly saute with onion, pepper and garlic final 2 minutes) Spices (added right before dates): Salt pepper chipotle cumin seed coriander mustard Bring everything together in a bowl and make 4 patties then either bake for minutes at 425 or brown each side on a pan.

Im going to try that. My stomache is not digging morning foods, so Ima gonna try something savoury and maybe mid-morning.
I grew up in the school of three square meals a day to keep the engine running, but lately I am feeling like I could just skip breakfast altogether. Well, maybe not coffee. Thanks!! Quote:

Lately I've been getting prepackaged salad "kits." Super-convenient and easy to do. They're typically supposed to be 3-4 servings, but that's way optimistic. I usually eat the whole thing and control calories by limiting the amount of dressing I use (which is a huge % of the total calories).

Good thread.
I love grilling. I would like to hear some good recipes for healthy grilling stuff. We have done some all veggie meals on the grill that have been great and healthy I think. Keep the ideas coming!

thanks for reminder to order some more! Quote:
...marinate in some olive oil, 10+ cloves of garlic, paprika, salt, pepper....add a splash of sherry before tossing on the grill. 30 minutes to marinate...< 5 minutes to cook....you can cook the marinade down on the stove to make a sauce if you want. The recipe I used said to cook on stove, but my pan was not big enough (Costco bag-o-shrimp) for all the shrimp so the extra went on grill. The grilled ones were preferred.. Sides were a tortilla espanola, caesar salad and some crusty bread. Oh, and a bottle of grenache....so, the healthy part sort of got tossed there.

Here in Oregon we have Cafe Yumm and can get yumm sauce in stores, which is great on pretty much any kind of salad or bowl. We make yumm bowls pretty much every week in my house. They’re good for the kids too because they can customize based on whatever they may or may not like on any given day.
This recipe is a good approximation of the sauce. I suppose it goes without saying that these are only as healthy as the ingredients you put in them, the restaurant version has a lot of fat with cheese, sour cream, avocados, and sauce. |
