Eating healthy recipes & ideas

<p>I thought it might be nice if we got together a thread for some healthy recipes, ideas, etc.</p>

<p>A few obvious ones, such as drop soda (or if anything at least move to diet) and drink more water.</p>

<p>Here's a recipe I made last night that I found to be both surprisingly delicious AND healthy: Balsamic</a> Chicken and Fresh Mozzarella Recipe - Allrecipes.com Those of you in a dorm won't be able to make it, but for those in an apartment it works well and is very easy to make, even for an inexperienced cooker.</p>

<p>Some breakfast ideas:</p>

<ul>
<li>Grapefruit</li>
<li>Low fat/light yogurt</li>
<li>Strawberries, grapes, pineapple, etc.</li>
<li>Eggs on a whole wheat english muffin</li>
<li>Oatmeal, but not the store brand type with all the sugar</li>
</ul>

<p>Anyone else have any other ideas? Especially for lunches. I am also really interested in healthy sides, everything I make either seems to accompany rice, pasta, or bread.</p>

<p>I like to sautee two cloves of garlic with a handful of cherry tomatoes and spinach in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It makes a wonderful low fat topping for pasta, especially gnocchi. Cheaper, healthier, and tastier than buying sauce in a jar. I’m a long term vegetarian, so most of my food revolves around pasta:p</p>
