I'm definitely not a healthy eater. I'm having a guest who doesn't eat white flour, sugar, margerine and I'm not sure what else.
I need suggestions of healthy food I can make for Shobbos/Purim thats great tasting.

Oy, I had a guest like this recently.

Whatever I made for shabbos, I just made for him - but plain. I made him plain chicken (with herbs) and cole slaw and salad (vinaigrettes with no sugar) It might be a good idea to start off with a nice soup - that usually fills people up. As a side - you can try brown rice - but if he is on a no carb diet he probably won't eat the rice - so just fill him up on salads.

I basically cook like that all the time. Its really not that hard.
A few ideas (as long as my baby lets me type).
Sweet potatoes-sliced, drizzle with a little oil, and some garlic powder and salt. Bake until the edges are all browned. so yummy we fight over them (even my little boys)..........

Rice or millet- cook and then drizzle with olive oil and a small amount of curry and/ or cumin, salt , turmeric, and garlic. Throw in a bag of defrosted peas.
Chicken or salmon- make a rub of crushed garlic, olive oil, salt, fresh ground pepper and paprika. Rub it on and let it marinate before cooking.

Barley- slice ( or chop in machine) a ton of mushrooms onions and garlic. sautee (the longer the better). Season with salt and pepper. Mix with cooked barley. Intensely delicious!
Beets- bake tightly covered in 400 oven. Let cool covered. Peel, dice. Season with garlic powder, salt , pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Naturally sweet!!
Turnips- peel and slice thinly. Toss with olive oil, salt, garlic and pepper. Bake on cookie sheet in oven, stirring occasionaly until browned edges. Turnips can be sweet!!
my baby says my time is up...hope these ideas help
