Healthy Meal: Chicken-Beet Salad Sandwiches with Onions and Goat Cheese

I picked up some beets at the farmer’s market at Lincoln Center, and then went searching for a way to use them other than just plain as a side dish. What I came up with is an adaptation of a recipe I found over at Food Network under a ridiculously cheesy name. I’ve modified it quite a bit, so I’m going to post my own full version of the recipe. Recipe:Take a beet (~85g), peel it, dice it, and boil it for 10-15 mins. Don’t let it get mushy – you want it to be slightly al dente so your …

Healthy Meal: Rosemary Grilled Tuna Steaks with Eggplant and Zucchini

Can you believe you get three recipes today? It’s your lucky day! Just in case you’re trying to eat all of these in one day, tonight’s dinner is extra low-cal but still filling and delicious. Ignore the chip on the plate… clearly I don’t know how to pick my best dishes when taking pictures for my blog! Recipe notes:I grilled the tuna on the George Foreman, so I just brushed it with balsamic vinegar and then sprinkled the rosemary on – no oil needed! I made the eggplant/zucchini topping exactly as written, except that I used dried thyme instead of …

Healthy Meal: Zuppa Ossa Buco

Today’s lunchtime soup is brought to you by the fact that I had ground turkey going bad in my fridge, and this soup called for various ground meats, for which I figured I could substitute turkey. The recipe was supposed to make 4 bowls, and I cut it in half, therefore expecting to get 2 bowls. Instead, I got 3 large bowls of soup. Unfortunate, because last night I alreayd had dinner when I made this, so I was already going to have one extra serving (after bringing 1 for lunch today). Now I have two. It is pretty good, …

Healthy Meal: Apple Chicken Salad Sandwich

I know I’ve been really lax about posting healthy meals lately. I’ve eaten out a few times, eaten leftovers other times, and just plain gotten lazy and not written a post the rest of the time! I do have the pictures saved, so expect me to catch up and provide a lot of great meals over the next few days. Today I’m going to start by posting a lunchtime treat from Monday: apple chicken salad on whole wheat mini pita bread. Apologies for the picture sucking; it was taken at my desk with my PDA camera, while trying not to …

Healthy Meal: Sirloin Bourguignonne Burger and Greek Salad

This is one of the first things I “learned how to cook” when I first started cooking. It’s not really cooking, per se; it’s really just grilling and combining a few different ingredients. However, it comes out really good, and the flavors work well together. I paired it with a simple Greek salad. Recipe notes for the burger:I’ve changed this recipe a lot, though I think Food Network may have changed it on their site? I distinctly remember using a whole portobello mushroom and spreading it with mustard, and I swear it was this recipe. Anyway, I used ground turkey …
