My favorite dish is omelette, with cooked asparagus in the center and shredded cheese (we use light cheese such as skim mozzarello, provolone, asiago) as it not only looks deliscious when served, but the taste is unbelievably good; plus, we have proteins, veggies, and herbs. This tasty dish may be served with a whole wheat, healthy toast.
INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs room temperature
1/4 tsp sea salt
pinch of freshly ground pepper
1 tbsp minced chives, parsley (preferrably fresh)
1/2 tsp fresh tarragon
2 tsp butter
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Using your whisk brush, whisk together eggs, sea salt, pepper and 1 tbsp until mixed well. Then stir in parsley, chives and tarragon.
Using a non-stick skillet, melt half the butter over medium heat, so it is spread evenly in the pan.
Pour in 1/2 of omelette mixture, allowing the egg mixture to cook until the bottom is slightly golden; then add the asparagus filler and grated cheese mixture on top of asparagus. Fold omelette in half and place mixture on plate. Repeat procedure for second omelette.
Voila! Oh, my tastebuds are telling me it is time to make an omelette!
Healthy Living receipe makes two omelettes, loaded with healthy herbs, eggs for protein and cheese for more protein. Asparagus provides the vegetable portion. Fast and easy, can be made for any meal.
Serve with healthy grained brown toast.

Healthy Recipes has found this delectable Minestrone soup with Kale added to it. Kale gives the soup a peppery taste. Kale is a member of the cabbage family and if you have not used kale prior to this, look for a green leafy vegetable, sometimes red, purple and yellow. All varieties of kale are edible and highly nutritious, containing vitamin C and E, beta carotene, and it is a good source of folate, calcium, iron and potassium. Kale is eaten as a regular vegetable and dresses soups and a variety of dishes with not only the peppery taste, but an excellent flavor. We highly recommend kale as part of your diet for healthy living.
INGREDIENTS:
2 tsp olive oil
2 medium zucchini, cut into quarters, then sliced into 4-inch strips
3 1/2 oz baby carrots, cut into halves width wise
1 medium onion, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
2 cups kale, coarsely chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup tomato juice or V-8 juice
15 oz white kidney beans or great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 tsp ground sea salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/2 cup uncooked rotini
3/4 grated Parmesan cheese (use fresh shaved for best flavor)
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Heat oil in a large pot. Add zucchini, carrots and onion.
Saute for 3 to 5 minutes, or until wilted.
Add diced tomatoes, broth and white or great northern beans.
Simmer for 20 minutes until carrots are tender. Stir in ground sea salt and ground black pepper.
To serve, pour into bowls and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan generously to top of each bowl of soup.
Be certain to add this flavorful soup to your healthy recipes for healthy living.
This incredible healthy Minestrone Kale Soup serves 10.
P.S. Under Biscuits, Muffins etc., in our Healthy Recipes for Healthy Living, I would choose the healthy Baking Powder Biscuits as a compliment to the Minestrone Kale Soup.
