I love healthy and delicious food so today’s LBD’s Guide to a FabYOUlous You is about healthy eating!

I love healthy foods that make me feel good both inside and out.  In Winters’ new book, The Little Black Dress And The SONs of Thunder ~ Recipes On Life And Food, he shares some of our favorite recipes, but he did not include my favorite healthy ones.

So I  have been working on a small cookbook of my own and today on The LBD’s Guide to a a FabYOUlous You, I wanted to share one of my absolutely favorite dishes with you. I hope it will help you feel fabulous too.

I hope it will help jump start your efforts to get healthy.  Eating healthy does not have to mean boring meals or a diet loaded with prepackaged foods.  I learned to cook because I wanted to know how to cook healthy delicious food so I studied and read a million cookbooks.  Winters and I believe the kitchen is the heart of the home and that many wonderful memories are created around the celebration of family and food.

In fact, some of our best dancing occurs in the kitchen.  Really, I kid you not!

I am sure you have heard “You are what you eat.”  I think that is so true. What you put into your body will either nourish it or harm it.  You have the choice about how you want to live and care for your body. We must also remember that we are to “eat to live” not “live to eat”.

Some recipes I have in the cookbook are so crazy easy it is almost ridiculous.  Others take a bit of prep time, but it so worth it in the end, especially when you share these unforgettable meals with friends, family or just yourself!
