a little healthy in the new year.

for christmas, my super awesome bro-in-law {ehemmm, his super awesome wife} got me a subscription to the food network magazine!

it's pretty darn awesome.  i've read every one i've ever purchased cover to cover, so now i get to do that with each month!  heck yes.

january's magazine theme is, i know this will shock you, healthy eating.  although that is never really my thing, a few of the recipes looked quite good.  & i guess i can participate in this ever so popular tradition.  {& it probably never hurt anyone to eat less butter...}

oh.my.gosh.

this is one of the most surprisingly delicious meals i've ever made.  blakey & i both devoured it.

do it.  you will be really really glad you did.


food network magazine's falafel-crusted chicken with hummus slaw:  a little different & slightly blah sounding, right?  super easy baked chicken with the fried crunch with out the fried oil.  awesome.  but the hummus slaw was the real kicker.  so so good.  i'm still craving it & i ate it 5 days ago.   i might never make slaw without hummus again.

{by the way, this dish apparently has only 366 calories!  that's nuts.  well, it is only supposed to have one pita, which i only realized after taking the picture.  & with the next side dish, you will only be able to eat one anyway.}

food network magazine's roasted carrots with red onions:  carrots, red onions, canola oil, allspice, salt, dried cranberries, walnuts, lemon juice & zest, cilantro, & dill.  strangest grouping of ingredients.  & the whole is so much greater than the parts.


so go on, friends!  join the crazy let's-eat-healthy-just-because-the-last-number-in-the-date-just-changed tradition.  

love love,
kjp.
