Healthy Eating

We are officially on a roll. We have cooked at home the last 15 out of 16 days. We haven't had the same thing twice and we're trying new food. And the best part - we're eating healthy and we feel really good.

Our inspiration lately has come in the form of cleaning the living room. In that we started to go through all of our magazines and pick recipes that we would actually want to make. We took ideas from Everyday with Rachael Ray, Family Circle, Vegetarian Times and Gourmet.

Most everything that we have eaten lately has been vegetarian, sometimes even vegan. Some days we feel carnivorous and throw some shrimp or something into the mix.

We have found new foods that we like including quinoa, Israeli couscous, curry, saffron and lots and lost of veggies.

Tonight we had mushrooms stuffed with prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, bread crumbs and mushroom stems. Last night we had shrimp marinated in chipotle mayo and dredged in panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) on top of a corn, scallion, chipotle gratin.

Now I just need to organize all of my recipes into one handy book. Anyone interested in doing some data entry???

We'll keep you posted as to what new foods we try in the next week or so. Maybe we'll even provide menus and recipes.

Happy eating!!
