I LOVE cooking at home! I always make my dinner the night before since I work mostly at nights so I'm not tempted to eat junk. I wanted to know if anybody has some healthy, delicious recipes! I love cooking with fresh veggies too!

Also we don't eat red meat in my house. My stomach can't digest it because I was a vegetarian for quite some time plus I never really liked it to begin with. So we stick to ground chicken or turkey and chicken breast.

ANY RECIPES ALL WELCOMED! :)

    did something pretty simple with sweet potatoes the other night.

    Ingredients:

    5-6 sweet potatoes (makes about 6 servings or so)
    cinnamon
    Mrs. Dash No Salt Caribbean Citrus seasoning
    3-4 tablespoons of olive oil

    peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Put them in a gallon plastic with the cinnamon and Mrs. Dash seasoning. I just sprinkled them in their liberally, but your potatoes should not be obscured by seasonings! Start with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Shake well to mix. You want just enough oil to make the seasonings stick to the potatoes. I did this ahead of time, and let lay flat in the fridge for a few hours.
    I cooked them on a cookie sheet for 35 minutes at 400 degrees. Yum!

    Bump for ideas & i've added a Chicken Fajita Casserole to the database if you're interested. It can be made as spicy or mild as you prefer & my family loves it!

    There's a recipe floating around Pinterest (originally from SparkPeople, I believe) that I simplified last night...

    I cooked quinoa with a clove of garlic (minced). When that was done, I mixed:

    1/2 cup cooked quinoa
    1 cup fresh spinach
    1/4 cup feta cheese
    1 -2 Tbsp finely diced onion

    and stuffed it all in a sweet red pepper. Then I baked it at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. It was delicious.

    I've tried her cajun pasta, homemade marinara, and the spaghetti boats so far.
    Delish!

    When I wanted to add some new stuff to my recipe arsenal, I picked up some McCormick Inspirations spice kits. The recipes use mostly real food, and they're easy to healthify. I think the chicken tikka masala is my favorite. I use half and half instead of real cream, etc.

    I recently decided to cut out meat for awhile and had to come up with some alternatives...one was for spaghetti. Instead of using hamburger I sauteed some shrimp in olive oil (removed shell and tail), salt pepper, and garlic powder (add some cajun seasoning for a little kick)...cooked some spinach and drained...mixed it all with some spaghetti (whole grain even better!) and added Ragu 3 cheese spaghetti sauce to it all. It was amazing and packed with more nutrition than your regular spaghetti!!

    My boyfriend and I have decided to go vegetarian, this will be our third week so I've been trying to find a lot of recipes, We made something called Baja Black Beans and Rice the other night that was SO good. i would have substituted with brown rice but he won't eat it lol. 396 calories for a serving that is super filling. I also noticed that i was stuffed after ate this but didn't feel awful so that's always good!
