I am not a huge veggie fan even though I know I need to eat them. I always have to find creative ways of getting them in to me. :) But this Giada Veggie tostada recipe is YUM!<br /> <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/roasted-vegetable-tostadas-with-chipotle-cream-recipe/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/roasted-vegetable-tostadas-with-chipotle-cream-recipe/index.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1011277 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:47:50 +0000 citymouse 1011277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Skinnytaste is wonderful! You could always switch out anything "low fat" for full fat items. But, the over arching theme of the blog are healthy meals made with real foods. I bet you'll love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1011271 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:45:55 +0000 rawrasaur 1011271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made this yesterday and it turned out pretty well, though it does have spinach. I'm sure you could throw even more veggies in with it.</p> <p><a href="http://paleomg.com/clean-it-up-mondays-turkey-and-spinach-stuffed-sweet-potatoes/" rel="nofollow">http://paleomg.com/clean-it-up-mondays-turkey-and-spinach-stuffed-sweet-potatoes/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1011267 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:45:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1011267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: I will definitely check out skinny taste! I just need more creative ideas to eat vegetables. I am not too worried about fat, and I am okay with dairy, but am trying to stay away from very carb-heavy meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1011265 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:44:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1011265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Yes! I love Kabobs! We usually do chicken, pineapple, mushrooms, bell peppers, zuchini, and yellow onions. SO DELICIOUS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1011259 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:42:50 +0000 citymouse 1011259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are into soup right now, I always am no matter what time of year it is... this is my favorite one. I add Kale! It does get wilty, but it still has some crunch. Maybe chop it super small?</p> <p><a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/09/italian-chicken-soup/" rel="nofollow">http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/09/italian-chicken-soup/</a></p> <p>Also, we are making this casserole bake this week which looks delicious! </p> <p><a href="http://www.bhg.com/recipe/poultry/tortellini-and-garden-vegetable-bake/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bhg.com/recipe/poultry/tortellini-and-garden-vegetable-bake/</a></p> <p>ETA: Have you heard of the blog Skinnytaste?

DH isn't one for healthy food and he LOVED them. </p> <p><a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2009/09/recipe-for-meat-tomato-and-mozzarella.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2009/09/recipe-for-meat-tomato-and-mozzarella.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1010688 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:30:04 +0000 IRunForFun 1010688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you eat pasta you can add plenty of extra veggies to your sauce without really being able to tell they're in there! I usually chop up some mushrooms, onion, red bell pepper, and throw in some spinach, and let it simmer for a while. Yum!</p> <p>ETA: I usually throw baby spinach leaves in whole and let them wilt, but I just re-read your post and said you can't handle the wilted leaves...if you chop up the spinach leaves you might be able to bypass that issue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1010673 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:26:23 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1010673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: great suggestion!

You can make them with chicken, lamb, sausage... I add bell pepper, zucchini, any kind of squash, fruit. I've been living them lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1010612 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:05:27 +0000 brownie 1010612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curry. Like a stir fry but without soy sauce. There are yummy curries (not spicy) available all over. We buy ours from Whole Foods. </p> <p>Also alternatives like cauliflower rice. I like Paleo recipes for those kinds of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1010438 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:30:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1010438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you handle green smoothies?</p> <p>Homemade chicken soup with stock from scratch simmered on low for 2 hours? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1010395 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:20:48 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1010395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for stir fry here.

Lately I've been using baby bok choi, spinach, and broccoli, but you can throw in whatever is floating your boat at that moment.</p> <p>I make my sauce with soy, rice wine vinegar, garlic chili sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce and sometimes a little hoisin (but not usually because I don't like the sauce too sweet). Mix in a few tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken it.</p> <p>Throw in some carmelized onions and garlic and follow Mrs. Tricycle's tofu recipe with some brown rice and voila- delicious healthy dinner in about 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-give-me-healthy-nutrient-packed-and-delicious-meal-ideas#post-1010338 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:07:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1010338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a hard time finding healthy food that tastes good to me this pregnancy.</p> <p>Lately, lettuce/cabbage/spinach has totally grossed me out. I can't even stomach a salad because it just seems wet and wilty.</p> <p>So, I need ideas on ways to incorporate lots of veggies and healthy foods into my meals.</p> <p>I've mastered veggies as a side dish with chicken (or fish), so I'm looking for more creative ways to eat healthy. (Casseroles, soups, etc.)</p> <p>It has to taste good!!!!! </p>
