Hi! My name is Teri Leventhal, and my focus is creating quick, easy, healthy recipes with lots of fruits and vegetables. I have a video where I introduce myself and talk about my goals for creating healthy recipes:

Cucumber Noodles with Tomato-Orange Sauce
http://terileventhalsblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/811-recipes-cucumber-noodles-with.htmlThis is one of my favorite healthy meals; light, fresh, refreshing, and beautiful. This recipe is truly stunning which makes it wonderful for entertaining. It is a beautiful and fun way to serve and eat a salad, and kids love it! This recipe is quick and simple: it only includes three ingredients and it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare enough for an entire family. The orange adds a beautiful citrus kick and slight sweetness to the tomato sauce, which is balanced perfectly by the calming flavors of the cucumber noodles. This recipe is a fun, creative, and delicious way to add more fruits and veggies to any diet!
Butternut Squash Noodles with Many Delicious Sauce Variations
http://terileventhalsblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/811-recipes-raw-butternut-squash.htmlButternut squash is incredibly healthy; it is high in fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium, manganese, and carotenoids which help protect against breast cancer, macular degeneration and heart disease.
Asian Pear, Banana, Cinnamon Smoothie

http://terileventhalsblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/811-recipes-savory-kale-salad.htmlLots of recipes for kale salad are heavy in fats (olive oil, avocado, etc.) used to tenderize the kale. In this recipe, I use the natural acidity of pineapple and tomato to tenderize the kale, making it's texture truly delectable. The result is a luscious low fat vegan kale salad!
I hope you enjoy these recipes!
