Like many of you, on January first I find myself scratching out some resolutions for the new year. These typically involve some sort of promise to eat more healthfully and exercise more vigorously, in a hope to abandon the need to suck in my stomach each time I walk by a mirror. Those resolutions are making an appearance on my list again, along with a pledge to organize our basement. I would show you a picture of our neglected storage area, but I am worried you would sic one of those TLC home organization shows on me.
Last year, I put together a list of New Year’s Recipe for Weight Loss & Healthy Living, from my site, as well as other blogs I frequently read. In the hopes of providing a resource of links for those of you who have “diet” on the mind, I have pulled together another list, featuring recipes I bookmarked in 2010. Happy New Year to each of you and good luck with those resolutions!
Please share some of your favorite healthy recipes by leaving links links in the comments section.

Wow, what a great post idea. It's definitely that time of year. All your food looks so delicious in addition to being healthful! Thanks for including a couple of my recipes.
Oh my goodness, what a great collection of recipes! I loved clicking through and bookmarking some! Thank you!!!
a very nice list indeedy – but I see that none of mine made your 'healthier' 2011 weight loss mission of hope… oh well, maybe if I cut out a stick of butter, reduce the bacon and not cook everything with some sort of cajun sausage, I might just have a shot at next year's…. looking forward to another year of your great cooking and tasty recipes – yep, afraid you are stuck with me…
All of the photos are mouthwatering, but that Caprese Fritatta is making me hungry for breakfast! Theresa
lovely post and pictures
happy new year
What a compilation! I want to try every single one. Hard to imagine they are "healthy" when so tasty.
Dara, that is an outstanding list – it has definitely inspired me with some great new ideas!! One of my favorite healthy recipes is a chicken, barley and kale salad –

Wishing you and yours happy, healthy and joyous New Year!!
MMh, healthy food that looks and sounds absolutely delicious. Thanks for all the links – I'm looking forward to a really great year of cooking in 2011!
Happy New Year.
Those all dishes look so amazing that it would be difficult to choose..
What a wonderful collection of recipes!
My resolution to eat healthy will have to wait for another week, as we also celebrate Befana (Epiphany) in our house with another big meal, but when the time comes this list will really come in handy!
Happy to exchange basement photos…
Oh my! Thank you for putting so much time into this post. Your suggestions are fabulous.
HI Dara, How have been? It's been a long time. Thanks for compiling it as I might need ideas in school for lunch service. Have a great new year. I love the new header.
So many wonderful healthy recipes! I can't wait to try them! Thanks for including a few of my recipes. Happy New Year!
Wow, what a thorough roundup. Thanks for all the work that went into this. I'm looking forward to checking a lot of the recipes out.
Dara, that is one incredible list of great recipes! Thank you so much for including my Baked Apple!
We are definitely on the healthy eating plan starting today, so I look forward to trying out many of these recipes. Gotta get rid of the "fat pants'! 
Happy New year to you and your family!
There are some recipes there that I haven't seen! I need to go check these out! And, gorgeous photos, as usual!
What a beautiful list! I am bookmarking this and sending it to my friends…there are so many recipes that I'm eager to try. Thank you for sharing with me. I hope you have a happy Tuesday!
what a great resource! I have to say, that frittata really caught my eye. Your pictures are stunning!
Dara, this list is AMAZING!! So well researched & thought out. A very good idea to help motivate folks to eat healthier meals at home. Thanks for including a few of my recipes
xo
Dara, what a a fabulous list of healthy dishes! So many wonderful ideas and so many added to my list to try soon. And stunning pictures. Beautiful!
You are one amazing cook! And this is one heck of a collection. Although I truly believe in "moderation in all things", at this time of year, after so much indulging, a little less of everything is a good thing. (But when you make everything look so good, too — that's a dilemma!)
What a WONDERFUL post to give us! Thank you for including me but thank you even more for all these wonderful ideas!!! Happy new year my friend!!
What a list! Love it! Already bookmarked plenty! Thanks Dara and Happy New Year!
Dara, you've done it again! I could quite easily cook exclusively off of your sensational roundup until 2012 and be both totally happy and perhaps lose a couple of pounds in the process. Gorgeous, delicious, healthy, etc., and a whole bunch of other superlatives really do sum up this excellent post.
I just love your blog and your recipes are just great… I normally don't respond to blogs, but yours is an extra special one..I love the way you have a printable recipe… so many don't. Keep up the great work.
