Eating Healthy Can Be Delicious and Easy!

Whenever I come across a recipe that sounds good, I almost always end up modifying it to make it healthier, tastier, or to fit the ingredients I have on hand. A recipe for me, is merely an idea and starting point, and then I create dishes with ingredients I have on hand, or that we prefer. I started this blog to share my ideas, and I have a book published with the same title at Lulu.com. Please join in and share your thoughts and ideas, too!

Grilled Cheese without the Bread or Cauliflower Grilled Cheese

Did everyone see the cauliflower grilled cheese sandwich on the Dr. Oz Show or in the video ? If you follow the link to view the recipe and watch the video, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page, as the photo at the top of the page is a photo of a regular grilled cheese sandwich. Confusing, I thought! I decided to try this. The taste was pretty good, although it does not replace sourdough bread, in my opinion. I would say this is an excellent idea for replacing the bread version occasionally to introduce more veggies into your diet, and to cut down on carbs. ½ of the sandwich Below are my results and the slightly modified quantities from the recipe on the Dr. Oz page. I intended to cut the recipe in half for 1 sandwich, which did not work out too well because my large head of cauliflower must have been much larger than the medium sized head used in their recipe. Ingredients 2 cups shredded cauliflower - the original ...

Blueberry-Avocado Smoothie

This was my first smoothie with avocado in it. The avocado made it creamy without adding any of the avocado flavor. I imagine this may not always hold true, depending on the quantities in the combination. The quantities I used are listed below. There are many health benefits in this one smoothie: antioxidants , potassium, vitamin K, vitamin C, flavonoids, manganese, and more. About ¾ of the batch I often prepare foods based on what I have on hand, and I did not have any unsweetened almond milk or nonfat yogurt in the house, so I decided to give avocado a try. The following combination made 1 serving.
