Some delicious healthy recipes?

Simple curry:
Diced chicken and sweet potatoes, frozen peas, coconut milk, red lentils, mild curry paste served with brown rice!

Quick lunch:
Microwave a whole sweet potato for 5 mins. Serve with beans and tomatoes.

When I'm trying to think of something to make, I google an ingredient or two that I'm thinking of using with the word 'recipe' and see what pops up. For example, I have 1/2 a red cabbage waiting to be used in the fridge and we could benefit from eating some brown rice for the whole grain. Googling "brown rice red cabbage recipe" came up with a variety of suggestions, one of which we might just have for supper -- or a variation thereupon.

Never heard of the one banana two egg thing. Can anyone explain a little?

Banana omelette, vom. I think it does the rounds being called healthy 2 ingredient pancakes haha. NO!

Every weekend I make different variations of quinoa tabouleh salad. Cooked quinoa, chopped veggies (peppers, cucumbers, asparagus, broccoli, tomatoes). Add chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley. Sometimes I add chickpeas or cannolini beans. Dress with lemon juice or vinaigrette. I eat this alone or add to salad greens. I make enough to last several days. Very healthy and delicious!

check out skinnytaste.com or cooking light - lots of great options. This week's dinners (and leftovers) in my house are:
quinoa spaghetti with meat sauce
spaghetti squash casserole
spicy corn chowder
Ginger beef stew
Roasted chicken, cauliflower and grape tomatoes with rosemary

Last week I also made
chicken pot pie soup with cheddar garlic biscuits
potato leek soup
chicken fajitas
quinoa with turkey sausage and sauteed veggies
chicken vindaloo

I eat 1200 cals a day and all the recipes keep me feeling satiated.

Feel free to check out my diary or ask for any recipes and i'll provide a link. I'm not a great cook, but my pro. chef husband has been thrilled iwth my ability to follow these recipes:)

It's basically a banana omelette. I made it once, tasted it and chucked it in the trash. Waste of a perfectly good banana and two eggs. It isn't a pancake if it doesn't contain flour and baking powder, sorry.

I love them but use one egg to one banana and the banana goes like sugar syrup

this is one of the best things i ever made: http://ohmyveggies.com/black-bean-pepper-jack-stuffed-poblano-peppers/
