The holidays are almost over. It's time to eat normal again. For me, normal is not eating desserts and other baked goodies every day. When I do eat them I try to make them with healthier ingredients.
Why not try some of these?

Oats Are a Super Ingredient

Eating Oats, like rolled oats or oatmeal, help to improve cholesterol levels. It's also being touted as helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the risks of Type 2 diabetes.

Easy Provencal Cod Fish Recipe

This easy Provencal-style cod fish recipe can be on the table within 30 minutes. Bell peppers, olives, and tomatoes give a burst of flavor to otherwise bland cod fish. You will note from the photo that red and yellow bell peppers (sweet capsicums) were used. Any combination of red, yellow, and/or green bell peppers works just fine and makes a colorful presentation. Any firm whitefish (such as halibut, grouper, or shark) may be substituted for the cod. This recipe is easily halved for an intimate dinner. .. Read more

Quick Couscous with Chicken Recipe

This version of smothered chicken takes on a Mediterranean flair by simmering chicken with tomatoes, wine, zucchini, garbanzo beans, and allspice. The delicious mixture is served over couscous for a hearty and filling meal. Buy a whole chicken and cut it up to save costs. If you prefer to use pre-cut chicken parts, I suggest using legs and thighs which will hold up under the cooking process and impart more flavor. The recipe is fairly simple, but if you are a novice cook, you may wish to watch the video first. .. Read more
