TODAY on MHTV: We’re waist-deep into comfort-food season — which can do a number on the waistline. While I love hearty casseroles and stews, right now I’m craving something light and my halibut steamed on a bed of herbs with bok choy and a squeeze of lime hits the spot. For a seasonal side, I’m cooking red quinoa with julienned apples, and for a healthy treat, homemade granola bars.

Get the recipes from this episode:

Hungry Boy Granola Bar

Watch ”Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn” Mondays through Fridays at 12 p.m. ET/11 a.m. CT on Hallmark Channel.

    Hi,
    I enjoyed your show on healthy dishes. I plan to try the granola bars first. I have a sandwich that I think is healthy and perhaps you’ve tried it. I use some hearty wheat bread, sliced (or diced) avacado, and sliced tomatoes. I season with fresh lemon juice and that’s it. I suppose you could melt some cheese or use mayonnaise to make it more interesting.

    Does anyone remember the recipe for the sauce Lucinda put on the bok choy in this episode?

    I cannot get the recipe for the Hungry Boy Granola Bars. Why?

    Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to
    make a superb article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
