Back on the Wagon

I've been trying to do a better job about getting back in the swing of healthy eating.  For  me, this requires menu planning each week.  If I don't plan the menu, then we eat whatever's easy which is not usually the healthiest thing.  

The thing about my menu planning is that it takes a long time!  I love to change things up so I'm always looking for new recipes to try.  I also try to vary the menu and serve beef and fish at least once a week.  I use Feedly to follow lots of "healthy" food bloogers so I get plenty of ideas.  Nevertheless, sitting down to do the menu and grocery list and then going to the grocery store takes a lot of time, especially down here.  I quite often have to adjust the recipes to fit the ingredients that are available here.

Here's a list of a few of my favorite "healthy" food bloggers.  Click on the blog time to go to their sites.

Nicole at PreventionRD
Gina at Skinny Taste
Lauren at Oatmeal with a Fork
Megan at Detoxinista

I just recently found this site Amy's Healthy Baking, which looks promising!

Here's a few of this week's recipes.  Clicking on the name will take you to the recipe.

BBQ Chicken Quinoa Bowl (had this yesterday and we both thought it was fantastic)

Turkey burgers with zucchini (made a very juicy burger)

Watermelon Caprese Salad (I stacked spinach, mozzarella and watermelon, but it didn't look like this.  It was tasty, though.)

Apple Juice Chicken (trying this later in the week)
