Post-Holiday Reality Check: Life Made Delicious

Okay, Easter is over.

And you ate chocolate.
And more chocolate.
More…. and more…. chocolate.

So now it’s time for a reality check: An all-chocolate diet does not a supermodel make. Looking for some inspiration to kick-start a healthier way of life? I’ve selected these recipes from Life Made Delicious, my favourite source for easy recipes:

Grilled Margarita Chicken and Fruit Salad
Chicken gets a lime juice and tequila-coated toss in this flavour-packed salad. Olé!

I love mixing salad greens and fruit, especially when I can sneak in some goat cheese or toasted, spicy pecans. Substitute baby spinach for lettuce and you’ve got a splendid, nutrient-packed meal!

Mediterranean Couscous Salad
Quick-cooking couscous lends to the 20-minute prep time of this Greek-style salad.

I will seriously eat anything Greek – especially salad. The mixture briny Kalamata olives, salt feta and fresh cucumber is always a winning combination in my books. Control the amount of fat by scaling back on the cheese.

Grilled Fajita Salad
No need to turn on the oven to enjoy this colourful and oh-so-delicious summertime salad.

Guaranteed to be filling – and delicious – I love Mexican-inspired flavours with beef. To add some creamy texture, consider thinly sliced avocado tossed in a simple olive oil and lime juice dressing.

Salsa Turkey Meatballs
Salsa and ground turkey makes this new twist on the traditional meatball both healthy and tasty.

Who says you have to stick to salad? Pair these meatballs with whole wheat pasta or brown rice, and you’re in flavourtown! A bonus: kids will have fun helping to prepare this dish.
