You've Just Gotta Try This!

Okay, so we are trying to eat healthier around here (more on why later) and in doing so, my hubby gets extremely nervous since he does not and I mean NOT do vegetables. Consequently, I have to get extremely creative and he gets the "pleasure" of expanding his pallet a little. Sometimes it works (i.e. faux mashed potatoes made with cauliflower) and sometimes I get a lukewarm response while I am just loving it.

Tonight I tried a new recipe. I LOVED it! I mean, seriously LOVED, it! Hubby: lukewarm (meaning would eat it again but would not request it.) Yeah! More leftovers for me.

It is a yummy quinoa and mango salad that I got from Our Best Bites and they got it from The Biggest Loser (except the added Kosher salt). It is so healthy and yummy even without the salt, which I omitted. It also could easily serve as a vegetarian meal, if you are into that sort of thing, which I also try to do at least once a day.

Anyway, you can find it here: Quinoa and Mango Salad. Pair that with a Mojito Chicken (Grilled chicken with fresh lime juice, lime zest, mint, and olive oil - I know weird combo, but trust me it works!) and you have a fabulous healthy meal that makes yummy leftovers.
