Heatlh & Fitness Friday (6)

Hope everyone had a great day Vday! I'm going to be working double time at the gym today to burn all the calories I ate yesterday. The highlight of this week was our trail run. I love trail running. It feels so good to get out into nature. I really prefer trail running over road running. We went to Alafia River State Park. It is mainly mountain bike and equestrian trails. But there are a couple trails that they allow pedestrians on. We picked Sandpine which is 2.5 miles. We took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up going 4.5 miles. It was a little frustrating but I felt very accomplished. I can't wait to go back.

Now for the yummy recipes I promised you last week. I'm having so much fun trying out new healthier recipes. Most of them have been big hits around here. I love to cook. We rarely go out so having some new recipes added into mix helps keep things fresh. All these recipes I found on pinterest.

Roasted Egg Plant Parmesan w/ Feta Chesse - This one is so easy and so good. Now I did not try this one on the family. There is no way John will ever eat this. I tried it when my cousin was visiting. She loved it as much as I did.

Cajun Chicken stuffed with Cheese & Spinach - This one was also pretty easy and the flavors were outstanding. Even John liked this. He does not eat spinach but he did this time. I made this with Twice Baked Cauliflower. All I can say is wow. John even ate it. I'm not sure he has ever had cauliflower in this life.

My favorite new recipe is Mexican Stuffed Peppers w/ Black Beans & Quinoa - I love this Mexican twist on traditional stuffed peppers. Even Nathan really liked this recipe. So good and good for you.

My pictures do not do justice. Check out the links for much prettier pictures.It makes me feel great that I am making such healthy meals for my family. Healthy doesn't always just have to be a salad. I'm excited to keep experimenting and seeing what creations I can up with.

Do you have any yummy healthy recipes to share?
