Posted on February 1, 2011
Last Tuesday was full of so many healthy meal ideas – and lots of healthier desserts too! I found inspiration in all of your dishes – I hope you took the time to browse last week’s submissions. But if you didn’t, here are a handful of my favorites…
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
- Fresh Tomato Basil Flatbread from Mom Getting Fit – a perfect topping for any bread, gluten-free or not!
- Vegan Chickpea Cutlet Chimichangas from Veggie Converter
- Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins from Laurel of Leaves
- Pacific Rim Stir Fry from No Gluten, No Problem
- Cranberry Walnut Cookies from The Nourishing Housewife
Linking Up Guidelines: PLEASE Read!
- Please link back to this post so that your readers can find the recipes here.
- Link to your individual post, NOT your home page.
- Recipes DO NOT have to be sugar-free or gluten-free – just healthier in some way. The idea is to share our ideas and inspire each other in the kitchen.
- Please don’t link give-aways and book reviews without recipes or contests – the intent of this event is to compile recipes that give people options.
- ONLY ONE post per blog, please!
- (Optional) When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter:

Good morning Amy! I’ve got a great brownie recipe today – it’s sugar free, gluten free, and vegan, but makes up for that with plenty of chocolate, of course! The only thing you’ll miss is the guilt

I’m linking Southwestern Kale Chips, not because they are new to the gluten-free world, but because they’re new to me! And I’m loving that they taste slightly indulgent and are replacing my tortilla chips cravings.
Can’t wait to order your book!

@Heather @Gluten-Free Cat, Kale chips are always new to someone.
Your recipe will help someone…I promise.

Grain-free/yeast free bread! I’m so excited about this and anxious to get back in the kitchen and really perfect it (though it’s totally delicious as-is, I’m just a perfectionist!)
If the power stays on during this blizzard, I plan to take advantage of being “snowed in.”

Hi Amy- thanks for hosting!
Today I am sharing my recipe for Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. This recipe is gluten free, but it can be made with “regular” flour if you don’t have an issue with gluten.

I’ve got a healthier version of a classic Chocolate Chunk cookie, (my favorite). I think I have a gluten/dairy/corn/egg/soy/refined sugar free cookie that tastes as good as the regular cookies I grew up on.
As always, you rock, Amy!

As a nasty winter storm is arriving outside, I’m entering a quick and easy salad that I made from my pantry and refrigerator: Corn, Tomato, Celery and Onion Salad. It makes a great lunch, or a dinner side dish.
Stay warm!
