Welcome to another week of fabulous food made healthier! I’m excited to see what you’ve cooked up over the last week.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
- Peach Cobbler from DawnFariasdotcom
- Organic Bread & Butter Pickles from And Love it Too!
- Cinnamon Crumb Cake from Diet, Dessert, and Dogs
- Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus Punch) from An Opera Singer in the Kitchen
NEW GUIDELINES: PLEASE READ!
- 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.
- 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.
- (Optional) When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter: Simple Summer Snacks (Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free)

Hi Amy,
Your snacks are a great idea! I shared my No Tomato Sauce with a video and an article I hope fits in.

Sorry my link may seem a little weird for you folk in the Northern hemisphere! We’re in the middle of winter here in Australia you see
I’m sure the lentil salad would be just a nice eaten at room temp.

@Emma @ my darling lemon thyme, I love lentils year round…they’re so easy to cook and full of flavor.
It’s 105F in Dallas so we’d all enjoy a little winter right now.
Hugs,
Amy

Happy Tuesday Amy – sorry I don’t always comment when I stop by. I am submitting a black-eyed pea salad with greens and a creamy dressing with some paprika – I need to do more research on black-eyed peas as I have finally found some at my grocery store that are not in bulk beans and not canned (these are cooked and froze, but no salt) and need more inspiration.

@Valerie @ City|Life|Eats, I have a black eyed pea recipe – I cooked them in my slow cooker with bacon and tomatoes. (Do you eat bacon?? I rarely do but oh my..they were so good!)

Let me know what else you find out…I have some more beans in the pantry to cook up.
Hugs,

Thanks for replying Amy. I am going to try a version of your recipe with homemade tempeh or eggplant bacon
If I come up with soemthing good, I will definitely let you know. I di dnot grow up eating black-eyed peas but have been loving them lately, and I know they are popular in Texas and the South so I am definitely going to look for ideas. I could have sworn I had a black-eyed pea salad with a creamy dairy-based dressing once years ago at a restaurant in Nashville, but I could not seem to find anything like it online. That’s why I did not mention it in my post for my recipe. I need to look more.

Hi there! I’m excited to be sharing my gluten free, sugar free chocolate cupcakes using almond pulp (from making almond milk). I actually did indulge today…twice.

Hi Amy! Thanks so much for mentioning my Cinnamon Crumble Cake!
I’ve posted “quizza” this week–sort of a hybrid of quiche and pizza 
As usual, a fantastic collection of healthier recipes up there!

Do you like…. beef tenderloin? What about special red wine sauces? Some cooked spinach? Then you are going to LOVE the “Spinach-Stuffed Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Sauce” recipe I have linked too…
I have not tried it myself. A guest poster wrote this one up. However, when I am the host of a big party, I know what I’ll be making!

@Libby, I’m so glad you did…and just FYI as long as your recipe is healthier in some way, it works. For example, if it’s allergy-friendly then it’s healthier for those who need to eat that way.
Hugs,
Amy
