If you are looking for easy healthy recipes, you'll find what you need right here.

I think eating well should be attainable for everyone, not just gourmet chefs, so I don't make or promote recipes that are overly time-consuming and that contain ingredients that are really expensive and/or very hard to find. I experiment with food all the time, and I'm excited to share my favorite easy healthy recipes with you.

When I make something I think is a "keeper", I'll add it to the site. I add new recipes to the site each week, so check back often! You can also have access to recipes not previously published on the site (plus the latest healthy green lifestyle tips) when you sign up for my free newsletter.

If you are interested in submitting a favorite healthy recipe that you think would make a good addition to the site, please visit Favorite Healthy Recipes. If you have a recipe that is a candidate for a healthy makeover, please visit Healthy Recipe Makeover.

Note that as of May, 2009, I also have a recipe blog, where you can find my latest kitchen creations, with photos. You can find my recipe blog at Healthy Green Kitchen.
