  1. Happy New Year!! What a great post to start off 2013!! So many wonderful recipes here, I don’t even know where to begin, I guess with the first one!!! Enjoy your day!!

  2. Wishing you & yours a blessed New Year!! This collection of beautiful recipes will certainly add to the joy of creation in the kitchen as we begin the new year. Thank you, as this will keep me inspired & family & friends healthy & happy :-))

  3. Happy New Year! You can bet that I’ll be hitting up some of these healthier choices in 2012. First, though, I have to finish off all this xmas candy. It would be rude to waste it.

  4. a bunch of these recipes will be on my “must” list as i need to get in shape for my upcoming wedding! awesome list, Maria. thank you for sharing 🙂

  5. New to your site and loving it already!!! I eat very healthy and everything organic. Can’t wait to try these healthy, delicious recipes for 2013. Thanks for sharing!

  6. I honestly think I’m going to attempt to cook all the way through this list, kind of like a Julie-Julia type thing, to force myself into healthy eating and weight-loss. They all look wonderful and just what I need to be eating. Thanks for the inspiration!

  7. Maria, I’m always inspired by your healthy recipes and fitness routine! These look amazing – looking forward to trying them out and all you’ve got in store for 2013!

  8. I was so happy to come across this list! Thank you for giving ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I am quite health conscious and always looking for new ways to drop some weight. I have quite a few friends who are gluten intolerant and have opened my eyes to the world of gluten free cooking and I am always looking for new recipes! I would highly recommend the website http://www.ninacucina.com/. I recently purchased her book, Nina Cucina: Your Healthy Gourmet and I have become addicted to gluten free recipes! I am not a great cook but I found this book (and website) so informative and so easy to follow. For every single recipe the author, Nina Pucillo, gives the nutritional value of each dish and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the dish. All of the dishes featured in the book are totally gluten-free and Nina has included many recipes that are dairy-free too! Thanks for sharing! I hope my suggestion helps too! 🙂

  9. Parents should preferably find new and interesting recipes
    and to produce foods that supply nutrition and the correct quantity of calories as
    attractive and appealing as possible. You can also add
    years to your daily life span, and also you will become more physically fit.
