Healthy Recipes

During the past few years I have tried to adapt a healthier diet. After our first year of marriage I put on 10-15 pounds, and I didn't want to continue down that path. From my heaviest weight up until today, I have lost almost 30 pounds. Although I do enjoy goodies every once in awhile and am certainly not perfect in keeping them 100%, I have tried to follow a few simple rules. And the stricter I stick to these rules, the faster I see success.

My rules are:
Only whole grains (ie oatmeal, whole wheat bread, tortillas and noodles)
Eat only lean meats (tip: replace ground beef with ground turkey)
Fill up on vegetables!
No added butter or sugar to recipes
No juice or soda, only drink milk or water
No treats

Recipes on my homepage labeled "healthy" fit this criteria. Also find them below:


Avocado and Corn Salsa
Lo-Carb Turkey Tacos
Ratatouille
Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
Strawberry Chicken Salad (replaced candied almonds with just toasted almonds)
