Healthy stuff......

[joebalama]

I think I posted this on the old board, but here goes......

About a year and a half ago, I turned forty and freaked! I was about 30 pounds too heavy, high blood pressure ect. Anyway, I started running regularly, eating right and just being kinder to my body.

This leads me to the big request, what are your favorite healthy recipes? I'll post some of mine and maybe some folks will get healthy.

Thanks in advance, J


My Healthy tuna Sanguich..

one can white albacore in spring water (drained)
1/4 granny smith apple (peeled and chopped)
1/4 sweet onion (chopped)
1 dill pickle (chopped)
1 boiled egg (chopped, usually with only about 1/4 or 1/2 of the yolk)
2 tbspns Kraft fat free mayo
Natures Own sugar free, wheat buns.

Mix it up and whale on a sanguich or two. I eat LOTS of tuna, so if you have any other ideas, whip-em out.

2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp fresh rosemary or 2 tsp dried rosemary

cut fish into 4 portions. Brush both sides with lemon juice and olive oil...sprinle with salt and pepper...rub garlic and rosemary onto fish. Grill or broil until fish flakes easily.
(note: i fish is more than 1 inch thick you will need to turn it over halfway thru grilling/broiling)

this recipe is also good with halibut or salmon
