Welcome back to Slightly Indulgent Tuesday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating the special women in your lives or being celebrated.
Thank you all for sharing your recipes with us last week – we had over 115 healthier recipes to browse!
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
My Picks
- Kale and Basil Pesto from The Adirondack Chick
- So Good Mandarin Salad from Yummy – Healthy – Easy
- Italian Bean Salad from Architecture of a Mom
Reader Favs
- Grain-Free Blender Brownies from Small Footprint Family
- Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding from Real Food Forager
Linking Up Guidelines:
- If you leave a link in the comments, my blog will automatically mark it as spam.
- Please link back to this post NOT A STATIC “BLOG PARTY PAGE” 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.
- When you link, please tell us what you’re sharing.

Hi Amy! When I made Raspberry Swirl Mousse the other day for the boys, I could not wait to share it. Gluten free, no added sugar, and loaded with Vitamin C. Did I mention that it was delicious? Thank you for hosting this link up!

They often help measure, pour and mix ingredients. On this particular day, our four-year-old was busy throwing a tantrum while I whipped this up. (He wanted to open the door when we got back from the park. He was “NOT TIRED!” and so forth. Ah, the joys of pre-schoolers.)

@Amy,
Thanks so much Amy! I love your blog too! So wonderful that you provide a space for everyone to share their healthy recipes and find great new blogs.
My inspiration… good question – comes from a certain ingredient I feel like using, or an unhealthy dish that I want to enjoy in a healthy way!

I shared my recipe for Chicken Marinated with Meyer Lemon and Basil.
This is one of our new favorite chicken recipes and the key is to marinate the chicken for 24 hours before cooking it.
Thanks for hosting!

@Andrea @Andreas Kitchen, I rarely use Meyer lemons – I know I should because they’re so good. Maybe there is Meyer lemon pound cake in my future…
Thanks for linking up!

@Michelle @ The Willing Cook, Don’t you love recreating old favorites? I think my version is always better than the wheat version.

@Vicky, Yum! I miss coffee so much – haven’t had any in over a year because of the baby.
It’s a good reason to forgo caffeine, though. Thanks for linking up!
