Pumpkin Cranberry Pecan Spice Bread

When I think of fall I think of…PUMPKIN!!! Pumpkin is not only so versatile in it’s uses (baking, soups, etc) and can be made savory or sweet, but it is also very rich in nutrients and vitamins! Plus, it is good for a fit diet; 1 cup is only a whopping 80 calories 😉 To …

Clean Eating Chicken Parmesan

A healthy version of a classic Italian comfort food! Traditional Chicken Parmesan is breaded (with white flour), fried with butter or oil, and then covered in tomato sauce and cheese…delicious, but not so healthy!

Clean Broccoli Raisin Salad

This tasty salad is perfect for a picnic or parties. I made this and had it as a side dish to my main meal. I “revamped” the normal recipe, which calls for mayo dressing, and substituted a honey-greek yogurt sauce instead, which cuts down on the fat and adds more protein. Ingredients: (makes 5 1/2 cups) 4 …
