With our lifestyle changes towards healthier living and weight loss, what is a new recipe that you have incorporated into your life that you eat often, and that you love, and that has helped you to keep your healthy lifestyle goals?

Roasted vegetables: take a mix of biggish chunks of vegetables, toss them in a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with pepper, and bake. I like to use: eggplant, asparagus, green peppers, onion, celery, garlic, etc.

I don't cook much, but I've added a lot of greek yogurt!

Ags has the best-ever recipe for chicken tortilla soup. It is my new best friend. Check it out in the Positive thread, part 6. YUMMALICIOUS!!

My most favorite are roasted veggies and HM soup made with them: whenever I roast any meat now, I surround them with a mixture of veggies like onions, carrots, parsnips, winter turnip, celery, green & yellow beans, broccoli and/or cauliflower, sweet potatoes, etc. I put the leftovers in small plastic containers with some of the broth and freeze them for soups all week.

Today, to one container, I added diced zucchini, navy beans, mini-lentils, and 4 x dumplings (perogies) and enuff broth to make 1 liter of soup. When the dumplings rose to the surface, I mashed it leaving some chunks for a nice thick soup. We try to have a version of HM soup at least 3-4 times a week now.

what is hm?

I make healthy vegetarian enchiladas. I use La Tortilla Factory tortilla wraps. They are 12" in diameter but only 100 calories, and half your daily fiber in just one! They actually taste good, too. I use zero-calorie spray to fry up green and red bell pepper, onion, cilantro and black beans. Squeeze a little lime juice over the mixture, fill the tortillas, pour on a little green enchilada sauce and a sprinkle of lowfat mexican cheese and warm in the oven until the cheese is melted. Just one of those fills me up, and if not I add a salad on the side. There are only about 250 calories in one, and they are HUGE and delicious. I will also put some diced fresh tomato and/or avocado on top for fun, or a dollop of fat free sour cream.
