I personally love vegan cauliflower pizza, I found a super yummy recipe online from recipe girl, whenever I need a new healthy recipe that's usually where I go ...it tastes similar to pizza, I used daiya cheese and tofurkey pepperoni and an egg substitute intstead since I try to make mainly vegan meals, and my meat loving boyfriend loved it... A very delicious and healthier substitute for pizza since it is all veggie based...

Wish I had seen this BEFORE dinner. I would have posted a pic! Tonight we had lettuce-wrapped turkey tacos. It is at the top of my list for flavor and nutrition and my kids love them. Here is the general recipe:

- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning, or if you are like me, I make my own - chili powder, cumin, coriander, dried onion, touch of salt.
Brown turkey, add seasonings and 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until water is mostly absorbed.

- large lettuce leaves such as red leaf, butter, romaine or iceberg
- salsa
- corn
- Black beans
- avocados
- low-fat Mexican blend cheese
- fresh tomatoes, chopped
- cilantro if you like it.

Using one lettuce leaf as your taco shell, stuff with turkey and other ingredients. Fold over and eat! They are a bit messy, but fun to eat!

A little bit of olive oil in a frying pan. Add a can of rinsed chickpeas and stir. Add in garlic, roasted red peppers (slivered), sundried tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, whatever floats your boat. I like to keep it going in the pan until it's starting to carmelize a little. Have it on whole wheat pasta or brown rice or just as is. (I have eaten it straight out of the pan on several ocassions.) Not only is it healthy, it's cheap, fast, and easy.

Spaghetti Squash! I usually make a sauce while it's baking (400 degree oven, cut in half & deseed, olive oil on the inside, put face down in a baking pan, 40 minutes in oven) that is mostly more veggies like sauteed mushrooms, bellpeppers, onions, zucchini, squash or anything you have that would be good. Also some kind of meat if I'm feeling like I want it to taste even more like spaghetti. Meatballs, sausage, straight up meat sauce, or chicken. Sooooo filling!

My sons all wrestle so we eat a lot of higher protein/low fat meals. One of our favs is Swai with lemon caper sauce and quinoa pilaf.

Swai is a very mild white fish that currently is very cheap (bought 2.5 pounds frozen for $6.99 last month.)

Swai with lemon caper sauce
4 oz Swai fillet
Morton Nature's Seasons 25% Less Sodium Seasoning Blend
Panko
Olive oil

Capers
Lemon juice
Corn starch

(I am a guy. I do not use measurements but I think you all can figure it out. If not start with about 5-15 capers, 2 TBSP lemon, 1 tsp starch per fillet then adjust per your tastes.)

Season fillets with Nature’s Seasons (not too much the capers are salty.) Lightly coat in panko. Sear in pan with olive oil. Cooks in minutes. To make even lighter skip the panko and bake until firm and not quite flaky (it will continue to cook and will become flaky.)

Add capers to pan to warm. Add lemon juice mixed with corn starch to pan allow to slow boil. If it thickens too much add more lemon, if too thin add a little more starch mixed with lemon or water (if there is already enough lemon for your taste.)

Quinoa pilaf – Use your favorite pilaf recipe (or find one on the web) using quinoa instead of rice. I make sure mine has chick peas for their nutritional value and nuts (like slivered almonds) and lots of veggies (zucchini, eggplant, onion, peppers, carrot, celery, mushrooms, broccoli, bok choy, etc.)

I would 100% recommend the Hairy Dieters cookbook!! It's absolutely fantastic and has loads of ideas for healthy dinners, which are so tasty and you wouldn't know are "diet" foods.

Sweet potatoes are good for you, satisfy your carb and sweet craving and 1/2 cup of baked sweet potato is only 90 calories. I bake for 4-6 minutes in the microwave, peel, mash, add salt and pepper and if I have the spare calories add a TBSP or 2 or low fat sour cream. 1/2 cup is a great on it's own or cut in half for a side with meat or fish.

Oh yes, we made Turkey tacos on romaine lettuce wraps a few weeks ago & it's now a weekly item for us. It's soooooo good! we also like to do turkey burgers wrapped in lettuce!

Totally quick - and I just love canned tomatoes.

1 can of fire roasted tomatoes, 1/2 cup birdseye southwestern style rice and about a table spoon of taco or any mexican type seasoning. I eat it like a chunky soup. Yum. If I need to get my protein up, I add about a half cup of shredded chicken.
