Finding delicious, simple and healthy recipes to make isn’t always easy. It seems like I can find something healthy to make but it requires 100 different ingredients that I can’t find to make it taste edible or on the other side I find a delicious looking recipe that uses 6 cups of butter and 1/2 a quart of heavy cream.

This is the problem with healthy recipes, I love flavor and my heart says make the recipe with all the buttah but my waist line thinks differently. When I find an amazing tasting healthier recipe, I hold on to it and make it over and over because they just don’t happen very often.

One of the local Minnesota grocery stores, Rainbow, has taken a step to make eating healthy even easier, their new Health Key system that was unveiled recently will make finding the ingredients you need for healthy recipes simple.
