Recipes: check out The Hungry Girl, and Delish.com

Let me say up front, I am not a chef. But I do love great, healthy, delicious food. There are so many terrific cookbooks and websites, but here are a couple of my favorites.

First, for very easy, very basic, and HEALTHY versions of comfort foods, the best book I've found is The Hungry Girl by Lisa Lillien. I keep a copy of this book at my office, and many patients run out and buy a copy after looking through mine! Lisa also has a great website with many tips, tricks, recipes, and "weekend survival strategies": http://hungry-girl.com/chew/index.php

Another great online resource for recipes is Delish.com:
http://www.delish.com/recipes/
This site is terrific; it allows you to create your own online recipe book, foodfile, and shopping list.
Look under two sections: Healthy Meals from Day to Night, and Low Calorie Recipes.
Recipes are gathered from Good Housekeeping, Eating Well, and Redbook, and range from simple and basic, to quite elaborate. Here are some of the recipes I've collected from the site, and keep in my own online recipe book:
Citrus-Basil Salmon
Turkey and White Bean Chili
California Roll Salad
Peanut-Chicken Stir-fry
Healthy Makeover Meatloaf
Vegetarian Hot Pot
Easy as Tortilla Pie
Peanut Tofu Wrap
BBQ Chicken Sandwich
Roasted Broccoli with Lemon
Elise's Sesame Noodles
Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers
Chili Pecans
Scallop and Cherry Tomato Skewers
Turkey Cutlets with Nectarine-Arugula Salad
Wasabi Salmon Burgers

Happy New Year everyone! Eat up and enjoy!
