New Healthy Shows to Begin 2008

We've been promised new shows and new episodes from Food Network for the new year for several weeks now. Last Saturday morning the first new episode I caught was Quick Fix with Robin Miller and she was cooking light. This caught my attention since I've gone back to following weight watchers points this year. She made some great looking dishes and Sarita and I are planning on making some of them. She made the following, all of which looked great.

Grilled Chicken with Spicy Ginger Vinaigrette

Chicken Stroganoff

Grilled Shrimp with Citrus Dipping Sauce

Mediterranean Shrimp Wraps

I missed Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade so don't know if it was new or not Paula was next and also a light show which I think was a repeat. After that was Rachael Ray's 30 Minute meals and she made a healthy Indian meal, also new. The meal was her take on a Tandoori Chicken with Mashed Chick Peas and Pepper and Onion Salad.

After Rachael was Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffmann. This was the first new one of hers in quiet awhile. She too made a healthy meal. Her show was based on a home spa day and the meal included the following:

Yellow Quinoa

Yummy Avocado Sopita

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Black Bean Salsa

Roasted Pineapple with Whipped Cream

Everyday Italian was also new and healthy and another spa menu.

Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Lemon, Basil, and Salmon

Pork Chops Stuffed with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

Artichoke and Tomato Panzanella

Barefoot Contessa, I beleive was also new. I hadn't saw it before anyway. Here's one onf of the few that wasn't a healthy or light menu. She cooked several recipes from her new book Barefoot Contessa At Home.

The last on of the day I caught was Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger. A new episode and as always healthy dishes. Ellie has a new Cookbook out called The Food You Crave. Sounds like a good healthy one to check out.
On the show she made:

	Easy Chicken-Mushroom Quesadillas
	Maple Squash Puree
	Chipotle Orange Glazed Pork Chops
	Romaine Hearts with Greek Dressing
	Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

I actually caught a bit of that show where Rachael made the tandoori and mashed chickpeas. I would like to try the mashed chickpea dish. It was almost like a warm hummus and it sounded delish.
