This is a recipe we have adapted from a recipe my boyfriend found online (Yes, my boyfriend cooks for me more than I cook for him - I am one lucky lady!)
Asparagus Delight
1 bunch asparagus (about a pound or 2 cups) - cut up into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup walla walla sweet onion (or other sweet onion) - cut up
1/2 cup sweet red peppers - cut up
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 Tbsp Olive oil
Crushed garlic - to taste - 1 to 4 cloves
Mix together all ingredients and let marinate about a half hour. Throw into a frying pan and cook on low to medium heat for about ten minutes - or until veggies are slightly browned - and Enjoy!

This is a healthy recipe because it uses fresh veggies (we grow our own asparagus and garlic) that are full of essential vitamins and minerals and low in saturated fat and cholesterol. It tastes great, too! .0 -

This recipe is healthy because it replaces the usual mayo with nonfat Greek yogurt. This really cuts down on the fat and calories. I was missing tuna salad, so I was happy to find that not only does this fit in with my plan, but it's high in protein and flavor. The yogurt is a bit tart which brings out the flavor of the raisins. You could add seasonings or herbs if you wanted as well.0 -
Here is my recipe for Healthy Eating Day.
Panko Chicken Strips
1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
4oz chicken breast meat, raw
Slice chicken into thin strips. I usually dampen them with a little water and then roll in Panko bread crumbs. Lay on pan that has been sprayed with some Pam. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes (depends on the thickness of chicken) or fry in oil. Warning: Oil adds more calories, so you will have to add that in.
