When I first joined Slim by the Summer, my goal as I have listed here was to tone up and get in shape indeed for the upcoming summer. Anyone that knows me or even follows my blog knows I love the warm weather and am so dreaming of it right now.
Still Time to Join Us!!That said the colder, winter months have afforded me eating not as healthy as I should. I have a ton of healthier recipes, too in my arsenal and have been slacking. These recipes were originally published on Hubpages to share with others to help them indeed eat healthier and as well as enjoy.
So with out further ado, I am listing my three favorite healthy recipes that were previously published on Hubpages and linked up right here for all of you. Just click on the links or the photos below for the actual recipes and/or original articles.
1. Healthier Chicken Sausage and Peppers with Bowties:
Yummy Chicken Sausage, Peppers and Bouts
2. Healthy Children’s Meal: Veggie Bean Tacos:
Yummy Veggie Bean Tacos
3. Black Cherry Vanilla Yogurt Smoothie:
Healthier Black Cherry Vanilla Smoothie
So there you have it, I have given you two main course recipes that are healthier versions of their original counterparts, as well as a healthier alternative for a drink, snack or even a light breakfast or lunch.
Hope you enjoy these as much as we have in the past and hopefully will now make again for us in order to very much work on the healthier lifestyle I am now once again trying to incorporate back into our lives.
Happy Monday and eating, too all!!

Thanks, Janine for the Peppers, Chicken Sausage and Bowtie Recipe. I make sausage and peppers often and never thought to add bowtie pasta. And the black cherry vanilla smoothie looks scrumptious. Have to try it. You are a better chef than me! Love you.
Janine Huldie says
Thanks mom seriously for your kind words and hope you do try. I love the bow ties that can be added to that pasta dish, because I am a huge fan of that pasta!! 🙂

My pleasure in sharing these. I am with you on tacos and could truly eat them everyday if I could!! Hope you are having a good start to your week and your weekend was good, too 🙂 xoxo!!
Bill says
The cherry smoothie looks delicious. The rest of the stuff…not so. I'm not a big vegetable eater…love to grow them but not eat them. I know, I'm weird. 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Lol, you sound like my girls with the veggies, but the taco one it is hidden well and even Lily will eat, lol!! That said thanks as always and hope you are having a great start to your week!! 🙂
Jane Marsh says
Black cherry vanillla smoothie–drooling!
Janine Huldie says
Lol Jane and it is healthy, too!! I have lost count how many time this one has been my go to for that!! 🙂
Venassa says
I bet my daughter would like those tacos someday. She's still too young for them now, but she loves beans and cheese.
Janine Huldie says
My 2 year old loves this one Venassa, so it is worthy trying with her if you can, because mine is a very picky eater and still will eat this one 🙂
Melanie Chisnall says
Oh YUM! I shouldn't have read your post now…we're about 15 minutes away from eating supper. I'm definitely going to try the bean and veggie tacos – gluten-free, yay! Thanks for sharing these. I used to complain about trying to eat healthy in winter until someone pointed out all the stews and soups you could make. There are many! Can't wait to put our slow cooker to use now that I'm home during the day 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Melanie, I love my slow cooker and seriously that is one the best things about winter and the cold weather. I hope you do get to try the veggie tacos and enjoy!! 🙂
Kat Biggie says
Oooh yummy!!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Alexa!! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Lol, Kelly, I haven't published a new Hub article in weeks, too and my last was a holiday related one, so that shows how long. You can totally substitute flour tortillas here and have done that in a pinch when I have only had flour ones in the house. I am trying to eat healthier, but last night Kevin wanted boneless buffalo chicken tenders complete with french fries and veggies with blu cheese dip. Yeah, not my finest moment, but tried my best to eat more of the veggies than the chicken and fries (keyword here TRIED!). PS…I haven't weighed myself today and was waiting to do that tomorrow after a better day today hopefully!!
Emily Cappo says
Great recipes! I already drink a protein smoothie every morning. That sausage thing looks delicious — will definitely try it!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Emily and do hope you can try the chicken sausage recipe and like it, too 🙂
Christy Birmingham says
Look at you spreading the joys of being healthy – good post, Janine! I am sooo looking forward to warmer weather 🙂
Janine Huldie says
My pleasure and thanks Christy. Same here about the warmer weather, too 🙂
Cinella says
Great recipes… My girls would probably love the veggie bean taco. Hubby… not so much, lol. Thanks for sharing
-Cinella
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Cinella. My hubby still likes the traditional tacos, but will eat these, too. And my kids do love them, so for the picky eater (my younger) that I have, it does work out nicely here 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Julie so much and seriously you do not need to worry about me right now. You totally have enough and seriously thank you for even coming here today. Please take it easy and I am thinking of you.

Somehow, I overlooked it when you linked up. I AM SO SORRY!!! I hope you know I truly admire you. I must have lost my place when visiting everyone. I cannot believe I skipped over my friend.
I thinking I am loosing my mind.
I am SORRY!!!!!!!!
Blessings,

My recent post “RoundUp Review” Week End 1/11/14
Janine Huldie says
Diane, please there is no worries here. Trust me I am the first to understand trying to get to everyone on the linkups I host and worrying that somehow I am missing someone. You never need to apologize to me, because I totally know we are fiends and that means so much to me. Seriously, these linkups can drive us completely crazy and like I said I know from first hand. So no spool gives and thank you for hosting an awesome linkup 🙂 🙂
