Weekly Recipe Attempt: Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller

fish I’ve been eating healthy now for a couple of weeks and it’s easier that I thought it would be. OK I fell off the wagon and ate pizza on Sunday, but I’m blaming that on my brother. He insisted. The way I see it, though, if I keep eating meals like the one I’m talking about today, I can afford to have a slice of yummy pepperoni every once in a while.

Weekly Recipe Attempt: Broiled Tilapia with Horseradish and Herb-Spiked Mayo

Now I’m not really a big fish eater, but I want to be. It’s so healthy and easy to broil fish, and this recipe was no exception.

I know what you’re saying, “it has mayo on it! How is that healthy?” I’m defending the mayo by stating that I used fat-free mayo. I also only used a dollop of it on the fish, so one dollop isn’t going to kill me.

This recipe was great. I still love all things chicken and the occasional slab of beef, but the fish was a lovely little change of pace. And if you’re afraid of fish, try tilapia. It didn’t smell fishy at all. I know they tell you it should smell like the ocean, but this didn’t really smell like anything. It tasted fresh and lovely.

I give this recipe an 8. And that’s no fish tale, my friends. OK that was a really bad joke. I apologize.

Celebrate your 2008 resolution with the Food Network!

champ This year I resolve to be…healthy. Resolving to lose weight has never worked for me, so I’m taking a cue from both Giada and Rachael. All things in moderation. I’m also going to exercise, when I can, and drink water a lot.

If you’re like me, and you’re resolving to be healthier in 2008, you’re not alone. In fact, FoodNetwork.com can help you get there.

They have ideas to get on the healthy track, not the dieting track. Learn how to stock your pantry with better choices. Count the calories you burn in a day with the calorie tracker and get healthy recipes from Ellie Krieger.

It’s a fact that Americans are becoming increasingly unhealthy. Let’s all resolve to try and eat a piece of broccoli with dinner or walk to your boss’s office as opposed to calling her on the phone from 5 feet away. We can all live a little healthier. We just have to put a little effort into it.
