Im trying to eat healthier and i want to know some good recipes.
Got anything?
Answer
I'm not going to write all the actual recipes but you can look them up on recipe websites to get a whole lot of variations on them.
Eggplant Parmesean
I make it in layers of eggplant, marinara, italian cheeses & bake it for about 30-45 min (until bubbly) at about 350 degrees.
Stuffed Peppers/Mushrooms
Mixture of breadcrumb, beaten egg and cheese and herbs stuffed and baked
I make a lot of pasta dishes with whole wheat pasta, fresh veggies, a simple sauce but for a healthier kick add navy beans or garbanzo beans. For extra flavor, try roasting your veggies with olive oil and herbs at 425 degrees for about 30-40 and then add them to your pasta.
If you eat eggs, spinach/veggie omelets are great.
Portabella mushroom sandwiches
Toast some whole wheat bread and melt some monterray jack cheese (or whatever) on each slice. Saute sliced portabella mushrooms with some onions in marsala and a little butter for the inside of the sandwich.
Hummus and veggie wraps
Saute some veggies of your choice in a little olive oil. Add some hummus to a pita and then add the cooked veggies.
Veggie BBQ pizza
Thin crust with bbq sauce instead of marinara. Add the veggies and cheeses that you like and bake according to the crust package directions.
Those are some of the healthiest ones I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this gives you some ideas!!! Good luck!

VEGGIE FAJITAS or CHICKEN FAJITAS
