I believe that just because something is labeled as "healthy," doesn't mean it shouldn't also taste good. I always chuckle when serving someone something new to them and they want to know what's in it. After telling them, the next comment before consuming is, "but does it taste good?" If I made it, I would certainly hope so! :-)
I work hard to create (or recreate) meals and recipes that make both your mouth and heart sing (I've been known to unconsciously hum if I like how something tastes). I'm currently working on my cookbook, but you can find some of my recipes on my Facebook page.
Note: I do my best to provide nutritional and caloric information on each recipe, using
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp and adding the information by hand from the ingredients label of each item. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Below you will find some great Free recipe books from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

Vegan Freedom Energy Protein Poppers are what I serve as free samples at races known as "Protein Poppers." The reason I named them "Freedom" is that they are free from the most common food allergens: gluten, nuts, soy, corn, dairy/casein. They are vegan and made with one of my favorite versatile protein powders (shakes, smoothies, baking), Garden of Life Raw Protein (c). They were fun to create (have your kids help you, the hand mixing is fun for kids). Some people claim they taste and look like raw cookie dough, others said they were reminiscent of PB&J. They are low on the glycemic index which makes them a safer alternative for diabetics and they contain no preservatives, additives, or colorants. They're chock full of EFAs (essential fatty acids) and vitamins. I don't however recommend eating more than one a day unless you're looking to gain weight. They are good pre- and post- workout.
