Healthy Recipes for 2011

1.5K

Today, I decided to compile a collection of healthy recipes for 2011 for you from my archives.   I am sure many of you have the resolution to eat healthier in 2011.  This collection should help you out.  Some are recipes I used while doing weight watchers years ago.  You can make many recipes healthier just by changing the type of bread or tortillas you use in a dish.  Choose items with a lower calories per serving and higher fiber per serving.  For example – black beans and kidney beans have 7 grams of fiber where white beans have only 3 grams of fiber.

Another way to make dishes healthier is use “light” products.  I usually use light mayo, cream cheese, and sour cream without any compromise to the original recipe.  I also use canola oil in any recipe that calls for vegetable oil.  Canola oil is a healthier oil.
