Fiber, Potassium, Zinc, Selenium, Vitamins, and Protein...in a cookie? Yessir...read on...
I found the recipe for these cookies in a book of pretty healthy recipes called Olive Oil Baking. The recipe calls for Sesame seeds and lots more Sunflower seeds, but I ran out, so I skipped the Sesame seeds altogether and used flax seeds for the remainder of the Sunflower seeds (which the book suggested) and they're delicious! I was also a little low on brown sugar, so I added some agave nectar and it worked out beautifully. The tinge of cocoa powder was also my own addition. I was craving chocolate. :D My husband LOVES these cookies and he doesn't like anything healthy.
They're SO easy and they're not too sweet, which I love. You don't need a mixer, just 2 bowls, a whisk and a spoon.
To lighten them up even further, you could probably substitute even more of the brown sugar with more agave nectar. I can tell that dried fruit would also go nicely in these cookies and add some sweetness (maybe giving you the opportunity to cut back on some more brown sugar). Give it a shot and tell me what you think!
One large pot of boiling water is all it takes to make a pasta medley full of fresh spring vegetables. Blanching the vegetables in the boiling water also adds flavor to the pasta.
Scrumptious with tzatziki sauce.
The original recipe called for 1/2 tsp of salt, but we are low sodium people...
This is a great make ahead breakfast item. I will make a batch on the weekend and then throw one or two in the microwave to eat on my way out the door. It is a mix between a muffin and an omlet
This is the base recipe for the oatmeal I eat for breakfast. It makes a very large serving, but it keeps me on track for the whole day, so it's worth it. I add freshly sliced or chopped seasonal fruit as soon as it comes out of the microwave. If I'm off to do something really strenuous I might add honey or maple syrup instead. [Note: nutritional info is for the oatmeal base only, not add-ins like fruit or syrup.]
Don't skip the pinch of salt. It really heightens the flavor of the other ingredients, and the amount of sodium it adds is quite small.
This is a healthy green smoothie that tastes just like pumpkin pie. Trust me--this is delicious!
This recipe originally came from a vegetarian cookbook, but I've changed the herbs and played with the ingredients a bit.
TIPS:
Instead of zucchini, you can use yellow squash. You can also add a shredded carrot to the recipe (no need to salt and drain the carrots).
Swap shredded sweet potatoes for the zucchini and cumin (1 T) and cilantro (1/4 c) for the thyme and basil.
If you want a stronger tomato flavor, chop a few more sun-dried tomatoes and puree them with the yogurt before topping the pancakes.
YUMMY morrocan style vegetarian stew- VERY quick, low in fat, salt and calories and very filling...

This is what my mum cooked me today and it seemed such a good idea on how to use the remaining vegetables, and has a good mix of carbohydrates (cuscous) and protein (falafels) + vegetables.
Hearty Chili dish, low in fat, but big on taste. Throw it all together and it's done in a flash!
Easy and tasty! Filling casserole that's light on calories and fat but good on protein for a casserole. Very saucy, so if you like it drier, add less sauce.

This is very easy to throw together when you don't feel like slaving over a hot stove, but want really great food to make which will last you a few days (or enough to feed a good sized family of 6).
