Health Kick

So, Kris and I are sort of on a health kick these days. I figure it's so easy to cut some of the bad things out of your cooking, so why not do it when you can. Kris has had some cholesterol issues, so these days I am always searching for a low cholesterol recipe that's still tastey. Kris also is not a big chicken fan, so I have to come up with really good chicken recipes or he is not really interested. He is 100% a beef lover and we have almost completely cut that out of our at home meals, in less I can find a good "healthy" beef recipe. We did not have a whole lot going on this weekend, or at least I didn't while Kris was engrossed with football Saturday and Sunday night. Anyways...this gave me time to find some good healthy/low cholesterol recipes for the 4 days we get to have dinner together (Sun-Wed). I almost always search on http://allrecipes.com because most of the recipes have pictures and I refuse to cook something if I don't know what it looks like first. Here is what I found...

The only recipe on here that I can comment on is the Creole Chicken and it was delicious! Of course we add our own flair and alterations to each recipe, but for the most part I stick to them. We like things spicy so I usually add stuff to make it spicier than the original recipe, and Kris LOVES onions so most everything I cook has onions in it. I also always buy wheat instead of white when I can...so for this week we had brown rice, wheat tortillas, and wheat buns!
