HEALTHY RECIPES

All of us, regardless of our health, should eat in a healthy manner. There’s no need to agonize over this as it’s easy to eat healthy foods, especially when it’s as simple as adding foods such as fish, poultry, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains and nuts to your diet. It’s even easier with the help of these delicious recipes on GourmetRecipe. You’ll be eating healthier without even trying.

Healthy Recipes – Fish Recipes

Fish is considered a very healthy food as it’s loaded with protein and special fats called amino fatty acids that help promote heart health. For Cider Flounder, a special sauce is first prepared using hard apple cider, onions, olive oil and seasonings. The sauce is poured over the fish before it is baked, leaving the fish tender, juicy and full of flavor. Haddock is first cooked and then topped with pureed zucchini, celery and onions for this special Haddock with Zucchini Puree dish.

Healthy Recipes - Poultry Preparations

Another food group that is a good choice for those who want to eat healthy is poultry. Poultry, also known as white meat, is packed with protein and is generally lower in fat than red meat, like beef, particularly when the poultry is prepared without the skins as in these Chicken Breasts in Wine Sauce. This easy-to-make, healthy Chicken Fruit Salad combines grilled chicken breasts with fresh fruits for a delightfully, delicious and nutritious meal.

Healthy Recipes – Cooking Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Fresh fruits and vegetables should always be a part of anyone’s plan to eat healthy. The more of these you can incorporate into your diet the better. But, you don’t need to just eat them raw, Vegetables, as well as fruits, can be cooked and still be both nutritious and delicious as you will see when you fix this Asparagus and Pine Nuts dish made with fresh asparagus and, pine nuts, onion, green chile peppers and seasonings. A mixture made with sage and shallots is sprinkled over fresh butternut squash that is then baked to create this mouth-watering Butternut Squash with Sage dish. Enjoy it as a main entrée for a vegetarian meal or as a side dish for fish or chicken. This Easy Tomato Salad really is easy to make with fresh, chopped tomatoes covered with a yogurt-based dressing. Serve Strawberries with Basil for dessert.

Healthy Recipes - Whole Grains and Nuts

Grains, such as oats, wheat and barley, and nuts are an important part of many people’s diets, especially grains as they are used to make bread products. But many breads are made with grains that are over-processed and that have lost most of their nutritional value. To make healthy breads, you need to start with the whole grain such as using rolled oats to make these Oatmeal Scones. A tasty corn bread is made by combining coarse-ground corn meal with bean puree in this Savory Vegan Corn Bread with a Twist. Almonds are given a whole new flavor when they are roasted with a mixture of spices in this Spicy Roasted Almonds recipe.
