You will know by how colorful this meal is that it is healthy. Introduce your kids to seafood by sneaking scallops and shrimp into kid-friendly tacos.

Let the whole family help shell the crab. Your mouth will water as you watch the crab being transformed into a cheesy open-faced sandwich. Make them your main course or cut them into small square for appetizers.

Nachos are a fun and colorful way to serve a meal to your family and they are also the perfect party fare. While the tortilla chips are a splurge, the loaded nachos provide a lean protein, vegetables and calcium. Load ’em up with lime chicken {or your favorite meat}, beans, guacamole, salsa and chopped tomatoes and let everyone dig in.

This pasta dish is sneaky because it disguises healthy veggies and makes them appealing to kids (and adults). There is nothing more satisfying than watching your child scarf down spinach and tomatoes… and ask for seconds!

The inspiration for this recipe came from my brother-in-law. He used to own a successful Italian restaurant and made my family a to-die-for shrimp Alfredo a few years back. Of course, it was the real deal, full of heavy cream and butter. We wanted to duplicate this hearty comfort food but make it lighter. Our version still has the creamy, rich flavors and textures but we don’t feel so guilty after each bite!

This version of Cha Han is at the top of my comfort food list. But unlike most comfort foods, it is actually pretty healthy. I like to eat it with grilled scallops or teriyaki chicken.

This fajita marinade is super easy to throw together at the last minute but the fajitas are even better the longer the meat has to marinate. Serve the fajitas with avocado slices and a fajita pepper mix for a colorful and healthy meal.

These asian-inspired meatballs served with sweet & sour sauce are a tasty treat, especially when served over rice. They are a perfect appetizer for a party because they can finish cooking in a slow-cooker while you focus on other elements of the party.
