It’s week 3, baby! And your challenge is to try a new healthy recipe and report back to CNC with how it turned out, so we can all try it (if it’s a good one, of course)! 
For this week’s challenge, break out your cookbooks, review your Pinterest boards, and pursue your favorite food blogs to find a new, healthy, and delicious-sounding recipe to try. Anything goes! And, once again, I encourage you to think outside of the box and get creative”¦ try a new ingredient or cuisine, cook with friends or your kids, or even develop your own brand new recipe. Hey, have fun with it!
Here are some helpful resources to get you started this week:
- My All-Time Favorite Recipes
- What’s for Dinner?
- PaleOMG and The Clothes Make The Girl <— Even if you don’t eat a Paleo diet, these websites offer tons of delicious recipes that are made with clean, wholesome ingredients
- RealSimple.com <— If you’re not much of a cook, Real Simple is an awesome website for easy, uncomplicated recipes!
This week is kind of low-key, but you can further challenge yourself my taking on the challenges from week 1 and 2: keep a food journal and log four workouts. C’mon, get healthy and stay healthy! Good luck!
Question of the Day
What’s your favorite website/blog for healthy, delicious recipes?
I try new recipes all the time! I get a lot of my new recipes from Pinterest and other blogs that I read. My husband always says…we never had the same meal twice! Ha! I just love trying new things!
I like Eat, Live, Run for healthy and delicious recipes….I also love love love your recipe for Cheesy Brussels Sprouts and Sausage–so simple, yet so delicious–it’s a regular for lunch for me 🙂
I have so many blogs that I read – I love to browse them all and when I see a recipe I love I bookmark it so when I need something new I have so many options!
Not a fair question! There are so many blogs with great recipes. One of my go-to’s is probably skinnytaste.com. I love all of Gina’s recipes but this is just one of many good ones.
Yours of course. 🙂 Skinny Taste also has a lot of fun stuff.
Haha Real Simple might be perfect for me! I get a lot of recipes from Pinterest, but if a recipe has too many ingredients, it’s just overwhelming to me!
There are so many good ones! I love The Healthy Maven, Making Thyme for Health, Skinnytaste & Iowa Girl Eats!
I love Iowa Girl Eats, she always has the most delicious looking recipes!
I love trying new recipes. I think that I have made my hubby the same meal once in the year that we have been married! I love Running to the Kitchen, The Healthy Maven and The Healthy Foodie!
I love Eat, Live Run – I go there a lot for recipes. I also love Annie’s Eats. They aren’t always healthy (especially not the desserts!) but her recipes always turn out delicious.
I love trying new recipes! It’s almost like a hobby, I love finding new recipes on Pinterest or from fellow bloggers! I just posted a recipe for a lightened up Starbucks Tarragon Chicken Salad on my blog today. I hope you have a great weekend!

There are, like, a ton. Lately I love Skinny Taste, SkinnyMs. and I just found Yummy Healthy Easy which looks good too. Pinterest is my other go-to.

Prevention RD hands down… http://www.preventionrd.com/
Although not a blog, I think Pinterest is my ultimate resource for any and all things. I love it so much because it’s powered a lot by blogs and you can find so much information on just about any topic — especially baking and cooking!
Trying a new recipe a week is one of my goals for this year, so I’m definitely in on this challenge! I have way too many items pinned on Pinterest, and lots of good cooking books at home.
My brother just gave me “How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food” by Mark Bittman (even though I’m not a vegetarian) because he said it has some of the best recipes. He said his other cookbooks are good as well. I also love Real Simple’s recipes, as you pointed out. They are, generally, pretty simple!
I love Angela of Oh She Glows. Having a bunch of vegans in the family is hard to cook for, but she’s got a great variety that even the carnivores enjoy!
Trying one tomorrow!!
I love SkinnyTaste! I was actually searching for some new recipes online this morning before I saw this 🙂
Best health food ever: Stir-Fried Bok Choy. Its so easy and it taste super good. No recipe because you just stir-fry bok choy, sprinkle with salt. I like to get Paleo recipes off of http://paleomg.com/. The pictures are really nice and the recipes easy to read.
This morning I tried your 2 ingredient pancake recipe with blue berries, and they were AMAZING. I also this week tried your french toast scramble, and I am hooked! Thank you for posting those.
So glad you liked them!! 🙂
I find so many new and imaginative recipes by just searching blogs. I’ll search my favorites and pass on the some of he ones I think are the best which everybody can try.
Yours, PaleOMG, skinnytaste and clean eating mag. My new recipe for the week is this one, tonight! http://paleomg.com/almost-5-ingredient-pizza-spaghetti-pie/
I’ve been meaning to try that recipe!
Skinnytaste, Emily Bites, Kalyns Kitchen, The Yummy Life are my go-to’s for healthy recipes.
Pinterest is now my favorite but I still like Food Network. Just tried this one tonight and it was delicious : http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/sweet-n-spicy-shrimp-lettuce-tacos-recipe/index.html
so great! I always say I’m going to try more of the recipes I pin but I never do!
I like Anne’s blog at http://www.fannetasticfood.com. In addition to a great name, she’s also a registered dietitian and her recipes are healthy without always tasting too “green” if ya know what I mean!
I love allrecipes.com! There are always so many reviews on the recipes so you can really find out if it’s worth your time to make 🙂
I love the real simple recipes that require 5 ingredients or less. I find that when some include too many, it can become costly!
Lentils…for me it’s all about lentils!
