Top Ten Favourite Healthy Recipes

After writing the top ten favourite foods, i thought i would follow up with a top ten healthy recipes with some of the best yummy but low fat dishes.

10. Pasta with a tomato and basil sauce.
Unbelievably tasty for something so low fat. With whole wheat pasta to make you feel full for longer. You will be making this again and again once you have tried it.

9. Lime and coriander chicken kebabs.
Kebab is not something you very often associate with weight loss. Rather, fat students after a very drunk night out. Very simple to make, and another gem for healthy eating. Served over brown rice it will shed the pounds quicker than you can say 'kebab'.

8. Spicy salmon salad.
Again, really simple, but a lovely combination of flavors. Potato with rocket, cucumber and salmon, drizzled with a lovely spicy dressing.

7. Healthy Chili Con Carne.
A favourite in many households. But when using lean mince meat it turns this classic into a quick, healthy meal.

6. Leek and potato soup.
Really easy to make and so yummy. Full of healthy veg that is ideal for a lunch time meal. Hearty, filling and full of nutrients.

5. Chicken and mango salad.
Doesn't get much better than this. Check the recipe to check how to make this delicious dish.

4. Raspberry and redcurrent sorbet.
There are no words to describe it. healthy and delicious, what more can you ask for.

3. Prawn stir-fly.
Something most people will have tried and loved. With plenty of veg and whole wheat noodles its a winner for wight loss.

2. Raspberry and hazelnut tart.
Something that is so hard to believe that it might be low fat, and you might be able to eat it without the scales haunting you.

1. Thai style couscous.
Thai and Japanese seem to have the answer to staying healthy and slim. Its always so delicious and you can rest assured that your meal will contain vast amounts of vital nutrients to keep you going.

My Top 10 Favourite Foods

There are some foods that instantly get your mouth watering at the thought of them. Here is a list of my top ten favourites.

10. Crispy duck with pancakes. I'm pretty sure everyone will have had this at some point from their local Chinese, and if you haven't, then its a must! I will have a recipe up soon for a home-made version for anyone that hasn't tried it.

9. Beef stew and dumplings. I know its a simple one, but its a classic for a reason. Red wine gravy and mustard dumplings. Nothing better for a cold Winters evening at home.

8. Baked Camenbert with ciabatta with an orange and passion fruit marmalade. So amazingly simple and quick to make. Great to eat for a late supper while watching a good film.

7. Pasta Puttanesca (Or literally, whore's pasta). I'll always remember this one as Daddy's pasta. My Dad used to cook it for me all the time when i was younger and i could never pronounce the name. An Anchovy, caper, Kalamata olive, and parsley sauce with penne pasta. Yummy!

6. Homemade chicken korma. Another well known dish. But there must be something about it that the British like, it did make it to the top 10 most popular dishes in the UK.

5. Creme Brulee with a hint of orange. Time for a dessert i think, and this is one of my all time favourites. It's become a regular in my household. The crispiness of the thin sugar layer, with the soft creamy texture of the custard, melts in your mouth. One just isn't enough!

4. Mussels with a white wine and garlic sauce. A French classic, if you haven't experienced this amazing dish yet, don't worry, don't book your flights yet. Have a look at the recipe here. So simple, but so wonderfully tasty!

3. Wild mushroom risotto with Parmesan. So rich and delicious, it's hard to find the will-power to stop eating, even when your about to pop.

2. Baked chocolate orange cheesecake with homemade vanilla ice cream. I'm a massive fan of Terry's chocolate orange, so this one is something i try not to make to often because I'll end up sitting down and finishing it on my own. Not great for the figure, but a fantastic naughty treat.

1. Duck breast with a cranberry and red wine jus. Served with a finely grated potato dauphinoise. Delicious.

All of these recipe's will be up on the site soon, so if you like the sound of any of them, then you can make them for yourselves!
