Thought it would be fun to start a recipe thread so we can share our favorite healthy go-to recipes for those who are new and wondering, "What do I eat????" We can also share links to favorite recipes for clean-ish eating.

This is one of my favorite lunches I make at home:
tomato
fresh green peper
cucumber
avocado
romaine lettuce
red onion
boiled egg (or just the whites)
feta cheese or shredded parmesean cheese (1 tbsp)
I slice and dice and mix all those ingredients and stuff my spinach (or my tomato) wrap or any wrap depending on my cravings. lol
It is such a yummy tasty wrap!0 -
I posted this recipe (from allrecipes) to the forum:

Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf...its one of my fav's0 -
Ohhhhh...a recipe thread! I will definitely be stalking this thread, and hopefully will have something to contribute here and there! :laugh:
I might have to try Mike's recipe--sounds delicious! Don't know if my kids/hubs would eat it, but methinks I could always just make a batch for myself and freeze/reheat throughout the week. :huh:0 -
I make these often: Oatmeal pancakes
They are relatively high in protein and you can even add a scoop of protein powder to them.
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
Blend ingredients together and then add blueberries, banana, nuts etc. and pour spoonfuls into a hot pan to cook like pancakes. They are not really sweet but when topped with a tbsp of maple syrup or other topping they are a great and filling breakfast.
Recently I have been short on time so I actually cook the above just like oatmeal in a pot with some water and eat it like oatmeal instead of pancakes, with a TBSP of brown sugar and it is great also. It is really filling.0 -
This is one of my favorite go-to recipes...Careful, they are very addictive!!!
1/2 c. natural nut butter
2 scoops protein powder, any flavor
2 T. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 cup oats
1/4 c. honey
stevia to taste
Mix all ingredients together and roll into balls. You may have to add a little water to get it to come together. I usually roll them into one inch balls, but you can also make them into bars. Keep them in the fridge, they are great for before and after workouts (or anytime really, lol!) . You can also add all kinds of ingredients to them, unsweetened coconut, dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc. My kids love them too!0 -
I made the most delicious salad this week....you all HAVE to try it!!
Roasted Chicken and Cannellini Bean Salad with Greek Dressing
4 oz roasted chicken breast (great for using up leftovers)
1/2 cup cannellini beans (preferably low sodium), drained and rinsed
1-2 slices of red onion
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
1 oz reduced fat feta cheese
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 TBS red wine vinegar
1 tsp minced garlic
Mix ingredients together in a large bowl and sit in fridge for about 5-10 minutes.
Before eating, give it a good stir again and enjoy!!0 -

I'm sooooooooooo gonna make these!!!!!0 -
Everyone, I tried the recipe at the following link this weekend, and they were SO GOOD that I made another batch last night to bring into work today. They're a HUGE hit. Just be warned...if you have questionable will power, keep these somewhere out of reach 'cause I'm afraid I ate about half a pan of these over the weekend. (Oops.)
Anyway, they're chocolate chip blonde brownies, made with chickpeas & peanut butter & some other good stuff.
Next time I make them, I'll be tweaking the recipe to get the fat & calories a bit lower. May try brown sugar Splenda blend (Jen, I already know what you're going to say...you sugar purists do your own thang!!) and replacing half of the peanut butter with applesauce. May try to further beef up the protein content by adding in some protein powder. Gonna play...if any of you try any variations on these, please share!

Peanut butter protein cookies:
http://www.fitnessandspice.com/2010/12/peanut-butter-protein-cookies/
I am running low on PB so I used Sunbutter and I only used 1/4 cup sweetener (coconut palm sugar) because I don't need sugary sweet and most recipes I halve the sugar anyway. I also use Bob's Red Mill Whey Protein since I stay away from artificial processed sweeteners (splenda, aspartame, agave, etc)
For 12 cookies it came out to 101 cals and 6 grams of protein using my subs.0 -
