There are so many little, bitty foods out there. Beans, quinoa, peas, rice, chickpeas, millet, corn, bulgur, and barley, to name a few. Sure, you wouldn't eat just one chickpea, but a bowl of roasted chickpeas? Now that's something worth going on about. The same can be said for my favorite little super-powered grain -- the lentil. No one eats just one lentil, but cooked up, sauced, bunned, tacoed, or bowled -- almost any way you serve lentils is just fine with me. Lentils have served as a food staple around the world for thousands of years. Although they are assumed to have originated in the Mediterranean or Near East areas, today they are frequently found in not only Asian, Indian, and Mediterranean dishes, but in American dishes as well. A wonderful (and flavorful) source of protein, lentils are inexpensive, easy to cook, and take on the flavors of whatever you're cooking them with. They are also one of my go-tos for meatless meals. I've even substituted lentils i

The classic tuna melt is a diner staple that has been around for years. It's one of those simple recipes with just a few components but all together, something magical happens. Crispy bread, creamy tuna salad, tomatoes, and melted cheese - I am getting hungry just thinking about it.  Now the key to any good tuna melt is the tuna salad itself. This recipe uses this simple Healthy Tuna Salad recipe to start things off. It's made with a combination of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise and studded with celery since every good tuna melt needs some crunch. It's perfectly creamy and packed with flavor. Normally I will whip up a batch of tuna for easy lunches during the week and inevitably we end up having tuna melts at least once. They are a favorite. Once you have the tuna salad, there are a few critical decisions to make next. First comes the bread. Any bread will work but it needs to be either toasted or grilled for some good crunch. To keep things light and healthy, I like to ma

This recipe for Healthy Mongolian Chicken tastes just like your take-out favorite and only has 250 calories per serving. We love it with Healthy Fried Rice and alternate between serving it or this Healthy Mongolian Beef . Last week I decided I really wanted to make Mongolian Chicken at home since it has long been one of my favorite Asian take-out staples. Then a funny thing happened: I realized I had absolutely no idea what actually was in Mongolian Chicken, outside of the chicken (of course) and green onions. And that led me to think about how I rarely actually know what goes into making so many of the Asian dishes that I love. I mean there is almost always soy sauce and many times rice vinegar, but I would be hard-pressed to explain what is in lots of Asian dishes, you know? I just know what I like and what I don't like, like most everyone else, I assume. It's a good thing I was really craving this dish, because that made me set off to find out what made Mongolian Chicke

This Healthy Chicken Cordon Bleu takes all the hard work out of making this delicious ham and cheese stuffed chicken. Paired with some Garlic Roasted Broccoli or Mashed Cauliflower , it's a meal you will make again and again. When it comes to family favorite meals, this one ranks super high on the list with its tasty combination of chicken topped with ham, melted Swiss cheese, and the best crunchy almond topping. It's crispy and cheesy and savory and just so so good. Plus it's healthy, low carb, and something you can get on the table in less than thirty minutes. Lately, I have been trying to focus on eating less carbs, but sometimes I still want something with “crunch” or “breading.” However, after trying some low carb breadcrumbs , I decided a better option was to substitute nuts in for breading. Not only does it provide a great crunch, it also adds healthy fat and protein. So with my new found breadcrumbs, I decided to set out to make a quicker version of Chicken Cor

So, you say you want to eat more healthfully but there's NO WAY you could ever find the time to cook, much less to plan to cook, and to actual also eat the food you cook? Have I got a proposition for you! Have you thought about trying meal planning? Now, before you scoff and stop reading, hear me out. I am pretty sure I can turn just about anyone into a meal planning convert! Meal planning can be one of the most accommodating ways to help you eat more healthy foods or to help you lose or maintain your weight. When you plan your meals ahead of time, you're able to pick and choose the foods you want to eat, when you want to eat them, and how often. Plus, if you make enough of one recipe to eat again later, you'll be able to calculate your nutritional needs once and not have to do it for every meal. You'll also eliminate the need to wonder "what's for dinner (or lunch or breakfast)" for several, if not all, meals in a given week. Whether you're plannin
