These are so so good!

We've had them a few times since I first found the recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens Magazine.

Chile and Lime Veggie Bowls

adapted from BHG

1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. fresh oregano, snipped, or 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1 tsp. olive oil
2 medium sweet potatos, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1 cup shelled edamame
1 medium avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and chopped
large cabbage leaves
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
lime wedges (optional)

directions
1. Make Dressing; set aside (if you can make this the day before....DO!! It has so much more flavor!)

Yogurt-Lime Dressing

In small bowl combine 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt, 2 TBS lime juice, 1 TBS soy sauce, 1 TBS chili powder, and 1 clove minced garlic, 2 TBS chopped cilantro, 1TBS chopped chives. Whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil until well combined.

2. In small bowl stir together soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, oregano, and olive oil; add diced sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Roast at 425° for 30-40 minutes until done.

3. Divide potatoes, beans, tomatoes, edamame, and avocado among cabbage leaves. Sprinkle with green onions.

Drizzle veggies with dressing, and enjoy!

(we found it easiest to fold them up and eat them like tacos:)

Fish and Vegetable Curry

• 14 oz white fish fillets (I used halibut) cut into thick slices
• 14 oz coconut milk
• 2 Tbs. red curry paste
• 2 carrots, cut into thin strips
• 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
• Fresh coriander (oops, I forgot to add this...)
• Place coconut milk and red curry paste into a pan on medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring until combined.
• Add fish, carrots and red cabbage. Cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until fish has cooked.
• Serve with fresh coriander leaves.

"Super easy. And would you believe me if I told you that the kids all ate it? Well, they did. Ethan even had seconds, and probably would have had more if there was more left. It was really good. I'm not big on fish, but I liked it. This is such an easy recipe that we could switch the meat and vegetables around however we want, and it would be good." by Colleen Lasko

Once again I'm raiding Colleen's blog and seeing how great I could feel with good natural food. She is going strictly NO SUGAR and NO PROCESSED FOOD. I wish I could be that good, but I have to start somewhere ant that is why I'm creating this blog. To help me compile of what helps me to healthy the way I want to be healthy! 

I got some great deals last night at the store too! strawberries, peas, carrots, grapes, eggs, whole wheat noodles (which I love), Tomato Juice (which only contains tomatoes!), and a bit more. I'm already lactose so I try to stay away from dairy and I hear that it's best anyway. 

 

Of course I can't stay away from yogurt or cheese sticks though... they are a source of protein that gets me through the day! I'm not a huge meat fan, so I'm really excited to try this fish dish that Colleen introduced!
