Curried Soba Noodles
It's not hard to stay on track when you figure out the tiny tricks that make a really big difference. Curry dishes are usually rich and creamy - delicious, yes, but healthy, not so much! The reason for this is the coconut milk. Even when you go for the light version, 1/4 cup has 3 grams of saturated fat -- that's not the kind you want to be eating. I found a little way around it. 

True Blueberry Syrup
Everyone knows I love my whole grain waffles. This morning I woke up a little earlier than usual and felt like making myself something special to start the week. This all-natural recipe is super simple -- store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy this yummy breakfast for days to come.

Skinny Green Bean French Fries
 Junk food made classy... and easy. Just toss a few heart-healthy ingredients in a bowl, lay it all on a baking sheet and bake! Ketchup optional.

Chick's Peas
Put down the potato chips! These salty, crunchy chickpeas make for a satisfying snack with none of the guilt. Makes an original appetizer, too!

Veggie Bolognese
Earlier this year I underwent yet another health revolution: After reading "The Kind Diet" by Alicia Silverstone, I opted to eat more whole grains and vegetables as a source of protein. I was meat free for 2 1/2 half months, quite the record for anyone who knows me well. As it turns out, Alicia was right on the money: a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables and healthy fats is the key to making your body work at its absolutely best.
