Click Here to Get a Lean and Energetic Body with these Fat Burning, Healthy Recipes

I wanted to go ahead and post a few samples of healthy recipes here from Prograde's healthy cookbook called "197 Healthy and Delicious Fat Burning Recipes". One thing you should take note of, is that this healthy cookbook has recipes that will fit into just about any kind of diet you can imagine since each recipe can be made from easy-to-get "real foods".

No matter if you're looking for weight watchers recipes, low fat recipes, or even low carb recipes ... you'll should have no problem finding some great dishes that'll make healthy eating no problem. They've even included quite a few vegetarian recipes inside ... so as you can see, it's pretty well rounded and full of easy, healthy recipes that just about everyone can enjoy.

(On a cool little side side note, I'm a big fan of the Food Network and I found that this book is filled with meals that are similar to some of Rachel Ray healthy recipes ... so I'm sure you'll find something your whole family will enjoy that tastes great and is pretty quick & easy to make.)

Here's one of my favorite healthy dinner recipes included:

Beef Fajita Burger with Peppers and Onions

Beef fajita Burger:

1 1/3 lb. Lean ground burger
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. Chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. Ground Cumin
2 1/2 Tbsp. Fresh thyme leaves
Several drops of Hot sauce
1 Tbsp. Grill seasoning (McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for drizzling)
4 Whole Wheat Buns

Seared Peppers and onions:

1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 red and/or green peppers, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 garlic cloves, smashed out of the skin and chopped
1 jalapeno or Serrano chili, seeded and chopped
2 cups prepared tomatillo salsa or chipotle‐tomato salsa

Directions:

For Burgers: In a large bowl, combine the meat, Worcestershire, chili powder, cumin, thyme, hot sauce, and grill seasoning. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and make 4 patties. Drizzle with EVOO. Cook the patties for 4 minutes or until desired doneness.

For the Peppers and Onions: Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add EVOO and the bell peppers and onions. Stir-fry the veggies, tossing them with tongs, to sear them at the edges. Add the garlic and jalapenos. Toss and turn the mixture for about 3 minutes, then add the salsa and toss for a minute longer. Place the burgers on each bun bottom and top with 1/8 of the pepper and onion mixture and bun top. (I usually skip the buns and eat it sort of "salad" style. Enjoy!)

Here's one of the tasty healthy chicken recipes listed inside:

Feta Chicken and Vegetables

1 tbsp. All purpose flour
1/2 tsp. Dried marjoram or thyme
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. Salt
2 - 4 ounce skinned boned chicken breast halves
1 tsp. EVOO
Cooking spray
2/3 cup Red bell pepper strips
1/2 cup Vertically sliced red onion
1/3 cup Chicken broth (reduced sodium)
1 tsp. White wine vinegar
1/4 cup Crumbled feta cheese, divided
Oregano sprigs (optional)

Directions:

Combine first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in four mixture. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add bell pepper, onion, broth, and vinegar to pan; cook minutes or until vegetables are soft, stirring frequently. Spoon bell pepper mixture into a bowl; stir in 2 tbsp cheese. Return chicken to pan and sprinkle with 2 tbsp. cheese. Cover, cook over low heat 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between 2 plates, and top each serving with a chicken breast half. Garnish with oregano sprigs.

There's even healthy snack recipes when you're in the mood for a treat:

Strawberry Limeade Smoothie

1 1/2 cups frozzen strawberries
6 ounces fat free, fiber enriched key lime pie yogurt
1/4 cup skim milk
1 1/2 tsp. of lime zest
2 Tbsp. lime juice
Sugar substitute to taste (optional)
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)

Directions:

In a blender with ice crushing abaility, combine the strawberries, yogurt, milk, lime zest, lime juice, and sugar substitute, if using. (You can also skip the sugar substitute and add a 1/2 scoop of protein powder instead to give it a creamy, protein boost if you want.) Blend everything on high speed until smooth, then pour in a glass and enjoy!
