when i look up healthy recipes, it's always some plain tasting bullshit that i would never eat. it's always something like "roast chicken with rosemary" or "bread crumb baked chicken fingers". they never have other types of foods besides stereotypical american food that my family never eats. my mom is from the philippines, so she makes a lot of filipino food. and my dad is black, so we also eat southern style food too sometimes. does anyone know any healthy recipies that aren't boring and dull?
here are some shitty recipes i've found just to give a reference:

Answer
It depends on what you are talking about when you say "healthy food".
I eat a very low fat, good carb, high protein diet and I'm sorry but it tastes a million times better than the nasty fatty traditional American diet. I cannot stand fat and grease in everything. In fact my digestive system physically cannot handle it after a while anymore. I've been eating healthy too long.
So no, healthy food does not taste bad.
I think what you are complaining about is the fact that it doesn't taste like what you want it to taste like (fatty food). Sorry but it's not going to taste anything like nasty unhealthy food.
That's the biggest issue that American's have. They are too used to eating disgusting and nasty food that anything "healthy" isn't good enough.
It's like why an alcoholic will complain if all you are giving them is light beer vs. hard liquor.
You will not be able to knock off unhealthy food and make it taste good healthy. When you make non-fat mac and cheese it isn't going to have the same flavor and texture you are looking for.
However those foods like mac and cheese should be consumed in moderation. Eat the unhealthy kind every now and then to get your fix. But if you are looking for unhealthy replacements because that is all you eat, it's time to re-evaulate your whole diet.
It does take time to get used to healthy food. Your body is addicted to fat, sodium, and cholesterol.
To answer the question I know plenty of healthy recipes.
Most of the recipes you use now can be made healthy when you only prepare them with non-fat or low fat diary products, lean meat (sirloin steak, NO less than 93/7 ground beef, and boneless skinless chicken breasts (thighs are NOT healthy skinless or not.)), and you replace carbs with the whole wheat or high fiber options. Plus add more veggies. Each meal should have a fruit or veggie (1-3 servings).

What do you use your food processor for? Can you give me some ideas for great meals that use a processor?
Naptown Mo
Just bought one because on the food network they use it for virtually everything but now I can't remember any recipes. What are some good recipes that you use often in a processor for dinners?
I am actually making meatloaf tonight but didn't know if I could put the meat in the processor? I chopped the onions and everything in there.
Answer
It's so nice to have a processor. Gyoza and meatloaf are so easy to make in the process. Here are a few more recipes we use it for. =)
Red Lentil Soup with Curry and Coconut Milk
4 to 6 servings
* 3 Tbs. vegetable oil
* 2 medium onions, chopped (2 cups)
* 1 cup red lentils
* 3 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped (1 cup)
* 14-oz. can coconut milk
* 1 bay leaf
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
* 1 Tbs. curry powder, preferably hot
* 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1. In medium saucepan, heat 2 Tbs. oil over medium heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring often, until onions start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add 4 cups water, lentils, carrots, coconut milk, 1 tsp. salt and bay leaf. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in small skillet, heat remaining 1 Tbs. oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder and cilantro. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add to soup.
3. Remove bay leaf. In food processor or blender, puree soup in batches until velvety smooth. Taste, and add a bit more salt if desired. Serve hot.

* 2 onions, peeled and quartered
* 2 stalks celery, sliced
* 1 1/2 cups cubed, peeled rutabagas
* 1 1/2 cups cubed, peeled sweet potatoes

* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes; stir in peas.
3. Meanwhile, in a food processor or by hand, make dumplings: combine flour, parsley, butter, baking powder and salt until mixture is in coarse crumbs; stir in milk, then drop by tablespoonfuls onto the hot stew; you should have about 6 mounds.
4. Cover pot and simmer-- don't boil hard and DON'T lift the lid-- for 15 minutes.

Update: Most recipes say to process other ingredients and add to meat by hand but some don't. Example : " Mix all the ingredients except the meat in the food processor. Add the meat and pulse until fully incorporated with the other ingredients." http://blogs.familyeducation.com/parenting/moms/sweet-pea-chef/ten-rrific-recipe-9-food-processor-meatloaf
It depends the ingredients you're using and how you like the texture. I would tend to use it more with ground turkey and less with ground beef.
Alton Brown doesn't use the processor for the meat and adds wants you to not even squeeze the meat. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-meat-loaf-recipe/index.html
