    I hope you don't mind if I piggy back this post. I was also looking for recipe ideas, but for very picky eaters (not kids either :)) Any ideas?

    This is where the sites like skinnytaste and emilybites specifically come in handy- they tend to take "good ol' comfort food" recipes and healthy them up. I have a very picky husband but there are tons and tons of skinnytaste recipes he loves.

    Allrecipes.com is one of my favorite sites.

    Most of their recipes have nutritional info at the bottom too.

    They also have a healthy, vegan, and vegetarian categories too.

    Brazillian Shrimp Soup: Serves about 8, 1 cup servings, 235 Calories per serving (I usually eat 2 servings or add a salad to the meal)

    total cals 1877, total carbs 204, total fat 81, total protein 89, total sodium 1486, total sugar 57

    9 oz cooked shrimp (we buy frozen cooked)
    3 cloves of garlic
    1 Large Green Bell Pepper, diced or chopped
    1 Large Sweet Onion, diced or chopped
    1.75c can of 100% natural Hunts tomato Puree
    8 oz can of Goya coconut milk
    3/4 cup (uncooked) of long grain white rice
    3 TBSP of Olive oil
    Water about 4 cups I think? play with this to get the consistancy you want. We just fill my soup ot half way-ish.

    saute the veggies in olive oil, salt to taste.
    Throw in all other ingredients except the cocnut milk, shrimp and rice and bring to a boil
    once boiled, throw in rice and shrimp then stir in cocnut milk. bring to simmer unitl rice is done.

    I eat it with a healthy dose of crushed red pepper to give it some kick. its a mix of hot, naturally sweet and the red pepper spice.

    One of my favorites that my wife cooks for me, cuz I'm lucky that way.
