roasted eggplant and goat cheese salad

A good friend of mine recently told me about this delicious looking Roasted Eggplant and Goat Cheese Salad Recipe that she found on Pinterest, and once I saw it, I knew I HAD to try it!!

I revamped the version that was posted on thekitchn in order to make it a better option for a Salad Recipe. It was unbelievably good!! The flavors and textures all combined so well together to create the best Roasted Eggplant recipe I’ve ever had.

My version of this eggplant salad recipe has 10g of heart healthy fats per serving. Woo hoo!!

This roasted eggplant salad would make a fantastic, low calorie summer salad recipe to serve at a picnic or potluck. But if you feel like it’s just too good to share, make it for yourself as a healthy vegetarian lunch recipe.

It is truly a fabulous dish — enjoy!

Poached Salmon Pasta Salad Recipe

Always willing to experiment with new Salmon Recipes, I found myself head over heels in love with this amazing Poached Salmon Pasta Salad Recipe that I came across a few months ago and recently re-vamped.

You get a nice sized serving of this healthy pasta recipe that’s full of protein and fiber and very low in fat.

The capers and yogurt cream sauce are the perfect complements to the lemon and wine poached salmon. The artichokes also add more bulk to the dish so that you can get more bang for your buck. Next time I make this, I think I’ll add in some roasted zucchini and cherry tomatoes to bulk it up even more — as I’ve previously mentioned in past posts, I’m ALL about big portions!

This is definitely a flavorful and easy pasta salad recipe that is not only filling and tasty, but it’s also incredibly good for you too. And it’s a great idea if you are looking for a new and unique way to prepare salmon.

Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins Recipe

These Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are a healthier and lighter version of a basic, traditional Blueberry Muffin Recipe. Still moist and delicious.

I like to make a big batch and freeze some so I’ll have a quick and healthy breakfast on hand whenever I’m feeling too tired (or lazy) to cook. They are also great to give to my toddler for a tasty and healthy breakfast on the go.

I’ve seen a lot of variations of these blueberry muffins with nuts or icing added, but in order to keep it diet friendly, I stuck to the basics. Plus, I often enjoy a simple muffin without too many ingredients. Occasionally, I’ll add a tablespoon of flaxseed Powder for some added health benefits.

This is really a deliciously healthy and easy muffin recipe to add to your collection, and it’ll satisfy your blueberry muffin craving.

P.S. They go great with a bit of Brummel & Brown Yogurt Spread! Yum!
