Issue 1, Volume 3, 2006 Healthy Resolutions The excesses of the Holidays are paying its toll on waste bands. People resolve to start eating better in 2006. To meet those ends, here are some light and healthy dinner suggestions that go together quick, have great flavor and will leave you satisfied when you get up from the table. Let's start our meal with a delicious salad containing one of those fruits that hits its prime in the winter - the orange! Navel oranges are in season right now. They are meaty, easy to peel and have no seeds. The navel tastes of Florida and warmer days. If you don't want to use navel oranges, you can always substitute canned mandarin oranges - but use the ones in lighter syrup - we are trying to be healthy right? Winter orange salad - a lovely winter field green salad tossed with navel oranges, candied pecans and a low fat citrus vinaigrette Everything you read says to eat fish 3 times a week. 3 times a week! Yikes. I just don't see that happening in my house unless you can count a McDonald's fish sandwich as eating fish! (I really don't eat those - I swear! - okay maybe once a year.) Tilapia is an easy choice for a fish dinner. It is relatively inexpensive, easy to come by in the seafood department of the grocery store, and bland enough that it makes a great foundation for more interesting flavors. The filets are thin and cook up fast. This Fish Creole comes together really quickly. You can adjust the seasonings to your own tastes, make it as spicy or as mild as you like. Make rice to serve along side it (brown rice - remember this is our "healthy" meal) and just some steamed green beans squeezed with a fresh lemon. Creole Tilapia - Tilapia filets simmered in tomatoes and creole spices This next recipe is one of my favorite salmon recipes. It is light and healthy but packs a wallop of flavor and is really simple and fast. Even my 11-year-old loves it. Feel free to swap out your favorite fruits or salad greens. Salmon with Honey Lime Dressing over Field Greens Healthy doesn't mean no dessert. Finish your healthy meal with Angel Food Cake. Most bakery sections sell it ready made. Cut a nice sized slice, top with fresh strawberries and low fat chocolate sauce or low fat whipped topping. Or serve with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt, drizzled with a little raspberry liquor and some fresh berries.
