Find some healthy new recipes…

23 Dec

Ok, if you’ve been following my blog for even a short period of time you know I love SparkPeople.com. I’ve already gone into all the wonderful ways it’s changed my life, slimmed me down and made me a healthier mommy. This past week I found out about a new feature SparkPeople.com offers to it’s users (and even non-users) who have iPhones. Just launched in early December, SparkPeople.com now has a healthy recipe app.

Healthy Recipes - By SparkRecipesAppropriately named Healthy Recipes, this app has thousands of recipes that aren’t just good, they’re good for you. It’s FREE to download, and allows you to search 190,000 recipes by category, course, occasion, type of food or special dietary needs. There are advanced search options so you can even search by calorie content, length of time, or keyword. This app has some very useful features; there are videos you can watch. Healthy Recipes offers videos of select recipes as well and videos of different cooking techniques. I consider myself a novice in the kitchen, and there are many things I still don’t know how to do. With my Healthy Recipes app I can watch a video and learn how to do tasks such as how to properly seed, chop and core a tomato or how to choose and handle fresh fish.

For each recipe you can also view the nutritional information, email to a friend (or yourself), or save it to your favorites so you can easily find it again later. When searching for a recipe, you can see how well others liked it with a star rating system. If you want to read what other people wrote about any given recipe, you can click the “View Online” button which will automatically close the app and open the recipe up in Safari.

To me, it seems that SparkPeople.com really hit the mark with this app. Healthy Recipes is very intuitive and user friendly. You don’t have to be a member of SparkPeople.com to download the app, but if you are interested, membership is also FREE and well worth it. Go download Healthy Recipes today and you’ll be a step ahead of the game when the New Year rolls around and we’re all trying to lose the extra pounds we put on over the holidays.

    ** No iPhone? No problem, this app is also available for Blackberry!

    Happy Hump Day!
