The following recipes have been the ones most requested, linked and commented about:

Healthy Baked Oatmeal — a tasty combination of oats, fruit and walnuts, baked into bars.  This version eliminates the sugar and butter without sacrificing taste.  If you’ve never tried baked oatmeal, I think you’ll find the texture quite pleasing. (can be made gluten free and casein free, vegetarian)

Easy Chicken Enchiladas
— a quick version that is one of my husband’s favorite meals.  I make this with chicken, crab, or vegetarian with black beans and sweet potatoes.  (gluten free)

Healthy Banana and Oat Bars — Bananas provide the moisture and sweetness in these bars.  There are no added refined oils or sugars, but lots of great taste. (gluten and dairy free, vegan)

Apple Ginger Coleslaw
— If you’re trying to eat more vegetables and fruits or you don’t like mayonnaise-based coleslaws, this is the one for you.  The fresh ginger provides a refreshing surprise to the taste buds. (gluten and dairy free, vegan)

Salmon Potato Cakes — The most popular emergency pantry meal, these salmon cakes actually stay together in the pan and are full of healthy omega-3s.

Thai Steak Salad — This is the most popular of the international recipes.  I love the mix of spicy, savory, and slightly sweet.
