There are a plethora of healthy recipes scattered all over the Internet and filling countless cookbooks. But sometimes, you want something you know will be tasty, tried-and-true. "Trainer Favorites" are nutritionally-dense recipes that my husband and I have tried (he, sometimes dubiously), and found that we really enjoy!
These make a great snack as well! I'll pull extra patties out of the refrigerator for a quick snack on the go! Speaking of snacks, here's an awesome chickpea snack to try: The Kitchn's Roasted Curried Chickpeas with Rosemary and ThymeThe below recipe is found here on the Kitchn's website:
Just. Can't. Stop. Eating. Those roasted chickpeas are so good! And homemade hummus is even easier: Pour 2 cans of rinsed, drained chickpeas into your food processor and add a dollop of plain yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, a clove or two of garlic, salt, pepper, and drizzle olive oil to consistency. Easy-peasy! Experiment adding in spices to your liking - Curry powder? Paprika? Fresh basil and oregano? The possibilities are endless!
How do you like your chickpeas?

"Trainer Favorites" are nutritionally-dense recipes that my husband and I have tried (he, sometimes dubiously), and found that we really enjoy! Moosewood Restaurant CookbooksConfession: Meal planning isn't always my thing. It's important, it helps me get organized, so I do it, but I'm not always jumping up and down to plan the weekly menu. But one thing I've found that makes meal planning a whole lot more fun is to curl up with a cozy blanket and pour through a good cookbook to inspire the next week's meals. And one of my favorite series of cookbooks comes from Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, NY. Not sure when we'll make it to Ithaca, but it would be dreamy to visit this restaurant. I love that the recipes they create are full of nutritious ingredients and unique combinations of spices and foods that I never would have thought to put together but upon trying just work! Some of our favorite recipes include: * Pineapple Salsa with Blueberries * Italian Lentils and Acorn Squash * Pasta with Tomato-Peach Sauce * Kale with Sweet Potatoes * Butternut Cookies * Caribbean Sweet Potato Gratin * Homespun Pot Pie * Chimichurri Sauce Is your mouth watering yet?? Moosewood Restaurant posts a selection of recipes to try on their website. One very yummy and easy salsa worth making is Mango Salsa: Moosewood Restaurant Mango Salsa

![]() There is nothing quite like leafing through a cooking magazine or cookbook. I love pouring over the recipes and the images of delectable, fueling dishes. So whenever our local Hy-Vee puts out their quarterly SEASONS publication, I make sure to snab one up! (They're free in store!) I found this gem of a soup in the HyVee Seasons 2014 Health issue. We've made it on the weekend in a stock pot, but what I love is that it also easily translates into the Crockpot! Just add the fresh basil leaf garnish at the end! I hope you'll enjoy the recipe! Let me know if you give it a try! Looking for back editions of the SEASONS publication? Find them here: https://www.hy-vee.com/seasons/all-issues.aspx |
