There's no reason why a healthful meal cannot also be the most delicious meal. For example, check out the recently launched SMART menus program created by renowned cookbook author Mollie Katzen, and one of Oprah's favorite docs, Dr. Michael Roizen. They put together a series of recipes that show how you can can easily remake your favorite recipes without all of the unnecessary indulgences of high amounts of saturated fat and calories.
Mollie is best known for her classic Moosewood Cookbook and her more recent The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. Her message is that "there's no dividing line between great-tasting and great for you." The SMART menus program makes it easy to create dishes that are both healthful and tasty. Some of my favorites are: curried walnut chicken, walnut carrot cake muffins, and the couscous walnut cherry salad. Check out these recipes and let us know which ones are your favorites.

Then i saw the others' comments about the walnut board, thinking they were in on the joke. Had to see the website for myself, and now I understand: y'all are nutty. ;-)
