This post goes out to all you fellow bloggers, friends, and family, I need your help.
I am in search of healthy recipes for dinner or lunch.
Being borderline with gestational diabetes I have completely changed my diet, and I am in need of some new things to cook up.
To be perfectly honest this is the best I have been eating in my entire life and I feel absolutely great, but I am in dire need of some new recipes.
I have gone online a lot, but many of the recipes have ridiculous amounts of ingredients which can get pretty pricey pretty quick.
So, I am asking you for your favorite, go to, healthy meals.
I would be so very grateful, it would help me out more than you know!
If you want to email me a recipe instead of leaving a comment my email is

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
It will be very much appreciated!
Ok simple simple idea that isn't to unhealthy I don't think. For lunch on saturdays when I'm just making for me I make a grilled cheese sandwhich. BUT I do it my way. I use no mayo no miracle whip. And only I can't believe its not butter to help grill it. Anyways. put mustard on both slices of rye or 8 grain bread and then a couple thin slices of tomato and some low-fat mozzerella cheese. If you like mustard and tomatoes it will be like you died and went to heaven. Mmmm my mouth is water just thinking about it. Side dish is grapes and OJ to drink normally.

ReplyDeleteJord and I are doing a cleanse right now and my favorite salad so far was:
ReplyDelete1 avacado diced
1/2 cucumber thinly sliced
Tomato diced
1/2 can of black beans
Chopped cilantro
A bit of diced onion
A dash of kosher salt
A few tbs lime juice
Pepper to taste
I tastes like a chunky guacamole. I think it would be great paired with a whole wheat cucumber sandwich. Good luck!
One of the simplest sides ever could be a veggie lunch as well.
ReplyDeleteTomato Stacks: Layer sliced tomatoes and cucumbers in a stack, season with salt and pepper, then douse with a red vinegar. If you've got some splurge money, get some crumbled feta for the top. It will last for a few meals minimum. Now is not ideal for buying fresh vegetables I know, so catch sales for this one.
Thank you guys those all sound soo good!!!
