As we move into the heat of August, we often seek cooler meal options. That can translate to creative salads! Cool greens blended with a rainbow of fresh veggies, fruits of the season and more. A favorite among my friends is our Healthified Crunchy Asian...

Blueberries are a favorite of mine so I am always on the lookout for new or favorite recipes that contain them. I’d like to share a yummy recipe for a breakfast or coffee bread that I rediscovered recently. I've made this bread in the past and it...

"Skinny" Apple Pie

Posted by Jeanie at EatBetterAmerica on May 27, 2009 | Be the first to comment

Well, this one isn't pie shaped, but it could be! My baking focus right now is Apple Strudel. The first weekend in June, my sister is hosting a Viennese Dinner for 12 as a silent auctioon item she contributed to benefit the MN Opera Guild. I love to bake...

Flipping Recipes

Posted by Jeanie at EatBetterAmerica on May 13, 2009 | Be the first to comment

Some people flip houses, I flip recipes. What's that about? Here's my take on a recipe "flip": it's simply taking less healthy ingredients out of the recipes you love while increasing the "good" ingredients. A few flavor adjustments might be needed along...

Global Flavors

Posted by Elyse at EatBetterAmerica on April 24, 2009 | Be the first to comment

Global flavors from faraway places tickle my palate! Growing up in a family of adventurous eaters and travelling often to distant lands has helped me appreciate cuisine from many nations. So it's probably no surprise that I am always seeking healthy recipes...

Fast Dinner How-Tos

Posted by Jeanie at EatBetterAmerica on April 15, 2009 | Be the first to comment

When it comes to weeknight dinners, I'm not a planner. I create on the fly and get a kick out of the challenge! What I've learned to do is 'plan' for my style, by keeping a well-stocked pantry. We love leftovers, so I cook once to eat 2 or 3 times, adding...

Last week I spent 5 days in Arizona with my sister and brother; catching up with my family made for a great winter getaway! I especially enjoyed hanging out on my sister's patio, where a lemon, orange and 2 grapefruit trees were prolific with their fruits...

Cut the fat - how many times have you heard or read that?? This is the perfect place to share a few thoughts. Since fat is where all the calories usually are, it's the first thing we look at when selecting recipes to add to this site, or choosing those...

Spaghetti or Not?

Posted by Jeanie at EatBetterAmerica on February 04, 2009 | 1 comment

Seems I'm into "doing dinner" these days! When cooking at home, I'm in control of what's served and what goes into it. Spaghetti was on my mind last night - a full-bodied red sauce with meat and pasta. I cooked multi-grain pasta for my husband, but, I...

Posted by Grace at EatBetterAmerica on February 02, 2009 | Be the first to comment

Weather in Minnesota is finally starting to warm up enough that we can partake of some fun winter activities. Snowshoeing was on my schedule tonight and amazingly, I succeeded in not falling or embarrassing myself to any great extent. There was a beautiful...
