Vegetable Healthy Recipes

Shawn at Everything And Nothing is the dedicated recipe carnival organizer. She submitted this fast and healthy recipe for Sauteed Zucchini.

Adventures In Daily Living sent over a easy Borscht Recipe. I haven’t had borscht in years and I think I will try it. (eliminate the soup bone for 100% vegetarian.)

At the Bean Sprouts site, Melanie (United Kingdom) has a nice article on getting fresh in the winter with salad and leafy greens.

Complement those leafy greens with this fun, fast-healthy crouton recipe which would be great to get the kids involved. Create family time in the kitchen and at the dinner table when preparing fresh homemade foods. (Use whole grain bread for the natural wholesome goodness your family deserves!) Laura Williams Musings sent the crouton recipe.

Bonnie of AZHTTP sent over this interesting rice pilaf. Be sure to use brown rice to make it a nutrient powerhouse. Azerbaijani Pilaf

Curried Chick Peas will add the punch of legumes to your family’s diet. Stop The Ride sent this fun, fast and healthy recipe.

Check out the article on Quinoa and then try this vegetarian recipe for the grain that will bring all the essential amino acids into a vegetarian diet. The Expatriate’s Kitchen

Healthy Weight Loss Blog For Women Tired Of Dieting sent over this fun, fast, healthy mashed potato recipe. I never understand why people buy pre-cooked or instant mashed potatoes. I mean how hard is it to mash potatoes and this recipe is even faster than normal.

Cooking for one or two? Here is another potato recipe for those who hate left-overs. This one came from Opinions On Almost Anything. Au Gratin Potatoes

A Penny Closer has sent a heart-healthy Dijon Salmon Recipe to give you those good fats in your diet.

Sweet Escape

Lisa’s Cookbook brings us an Apple Crisp made with flax seed baking mix topping. A recipe I am sure to try. I am always looking for dessert recipes with whole grains!

Recipes For Free

Take the time to check out some of these other recipe blogs. I received far more recipe submissions than I can include here so I had to choose based on the WOW! theme. I looked at each recipe to determine if it is fun, fast and healthy as well as avoid too much duplication. I did not get very many submissions for dessert though. Dessert can be healthy too. Life is about choices, so I will post some healthy dessert ideas over the next couple of weeks. Join the fun and subscribe to the recipe carnival weekly.
