January's Theme - Healthy & Low-Cal

Oh, hey, look at that - it's January. Time for a new theme here at Recipeeps4Us. I don't know about you, but every since the Halloween candy hit the house, it's been a losing battle with the scale, right through the rich food and chocolate-filled holiday season.

Fortunately for me, January's theme is "Healthy & Low-Cal." This one's a little hard to search for in the archives, so it's going to take me a while to list what we've already got posted. How about if I put this up, and add recipes as I have a chance, and you all can tell me in the comments of ones I should add that you know about, 'k? Thanks!!

Edited to add: I think I've got all of the already posted recipes that fit the theme, but do leave me a comment if I've missed one. Thanks!

Main Dishes:

• My Split Pea and Ham Soup - Has the additional advantage of being economical in case one of your resolutions is to spend less/save more...
• Pusher's Harira - She says it makes good winter comfort food. I say that sounds really good about now!
• Diplowhat's Raspberry Chipotle Pork Tenderloin - Sounds delish!
• This Broiled Flank Steak with Warm Tomato Topping is a Cooking Light recipe from The Sexy Blonde. She says it's quick as well as tasty!
• Another Cooking Light recipe, I can vouch for this La Bamba Casserole.
• Pasta with Roasted Butternut Squash and Shallots - vegetarian even!
• Boneless Pork Chops in a Shallot-Fig Reduction Sauce was posted by All Knowing Jen with Pusher & I both making and loving it! Tastes & sounds harder than it is, so a great "company" dish!
• Speaking of "company" dishes, here's a Sesame Ginger Chicken one you won't believe is originally from Jenny Craig!
• This marinara sauce is Mr. Kluges's absolute favorite.
• Nectarine's Taco Soup can be made on the stovetop or simmered in the crockpot.
• All-Knowing Jen says you could sub in chicken in this Thai Pork with Peanut Sauce recipe.
• There's lots of yummy veg in Nectarine's Ratatouille, plus it could be vegetarian.
• Mahogany Turkey Breast with Vegetable Gravy isn't just for Thanksgiving, folks!
  

Vegetable Side Dishes:

• Tomato Snack from Diplowhat - A little out of season, but it sounds yum anyway.
• The Sexy Blonde posted a Roasted Bell Pepper Antipasto she says makes a good side or appetizer.
• Asian-Style Sesame Saute became my default dish when we got CSA greens.
• Nectarine shared this Easy No-Prep Salad with Diplowhat mentioning a variation in the comments.
• Braised Red Cabbage with Onions and Apples in Red Wine-Cranberry Sauce is probably the longest-titled and reddish recipe I've ever made.
• These Cider-Glazed Carrots are another Cooking Light recipe.
• Nectarine's Winter Salad sounds delicious.
  

Starchy Side Dishes:

• Sweet Potato Spears - Healthier than French fries, just as tasty and crispy.
• Bruleed Mashed Sweet Potatoes are yummy, and you could go light on the brown sugar...
  

Desserts/Appetizers/Other:

• Pusher's Peppered Tuna Skewers with Wasabi Mayo - TSB says they're yum, too!
• Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar - to die for!
• Also out of season, but Peaches with Cava and Lemon Verbena sounds exotic, Pusher!
• Diplowhat says Miso & Cucumber are great together.
• I love the tomato topping on grilled bread sort of bruschetta!
