This is the place for your favourite Healthy Recipes ...  a little bit of blurb about them would be nice too. Great place to share your ideas!

What seemed like a good idea seems to have fallen on stony ground.
Im hoping some one will come up with an altermate to fatty cream and a not so sickly butter icing for cakes

Only just noticed this one!  I too would like a nice recipe for a tasty, but less sickly and calorific butter icing!   ;) ;) ;)

I would imagine a Mascarpone topping would be a little less calorific.

I'm not sure this counts as super healthy as it has avocado in it, but it is healthier as you don't use tahini or any oil.

Its quick and very delicious  :D

Avocado Houmous

Drain a can of chick peas and blend with a chopped clove of garlic, the flesh of a ripe avocado,  the juice of 1 large  lemon, 1/2 tsp tabasco or chopped fresh chili to your taste and 1/2 tsp cumin.

They have lots going for them, but also contain saturated fat and are fairly calorific.  It is a lighter fresher houmous, but not a completely free pass if you are watching your weight or your fat intake.

I made borlotti hummus this afternoon.

A mug of dried borlottis (soaked and cooked)
five cloves of garlic
Juice of a lemon
five slices of pickled jalapeno's
about half a mug of olive oil

Blitzed to a paste then the olive oil added until it looks about right.
Salt and pepper to taste.

I like to think we eat healthy our recipes include butternut squash marrow pumpkin also I think eating all veg allotment or garden grown is a recipe for healthy living

but we must be mindful that some people lead a busy life going out to work looking after a family there is actually less time to think about healthy recipes as more people shop for easy meals not necessarily healthy eating

I suggest most of us who do healthy recipes are of the older generation ;)
