Skinny Bruschetta Chicken has delicious juicy grilled chicken topped with a fresh tomato bruschetta! It's the perfect healthy dinner! When I first made this Skinny Bruschetta Chicken, I thought it was the perfect meal for a warm day. A couple weeks ago, it was still in the high 80’s here in Atlanta. I wish it cooled off earlier, but it does give me the chance to stretch those summer vegetables. With the basil still thriving, and tomatoes still at peak, this is a cheap, healthy, and easy meal. You can chose whether to grill, bake, or heat the chicken in a ...

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
During the summer when I was in college, I worked in a really popular Mexican restaurant in my home town. I was so excited to get a serving job there because it was always super busy (big tips!), and the food was amazing. I assumed I would gain at least 10 pounds that summer because of the delicious food, but I ended up losing weight because I spent 12 hours a day on my feet running around! One of their best dishes was easily one of the most simple, their Chicken and Rice Mexican Soup. I had never tried this soup prior to working there, but once I did try it there was no ...
Skinny Tomato Basil Soup
Look familiar? This soup probably doesn’t look familiar, but if you follow my blog it might I have a confession…. I actually posted this recipe 11 months ago, but I was always a little embarrassed to share it, because the pictures were really bad. I know no one likes looking at pictures of food that doesn’t look appetizing, and that was a problem I was having. I will even share my embarrassing photo with you…. Maybe it’s not the worst picture ever, but it sure isn’t great! Having bad light or a bad camera can really be a disadvantage. Back then I didn’t ...
Homemade Taco Seasoning
Taco seasoning is one of those things that is used all the time, but do you really know what’s in it? Seasoning packets add a lot of extra salt, empty calories, and mystery ingredients. When you seasoning dishes yourself it doesn’t lock you into one flavor, but allows you to adjust the flavor of the dish to your taste. If you like things spicy, add more chili powder, if you like things milder, take some away. You may think that making it yourself is difficult, but it’s not. In fact, it’s very easy and will save you a ton of money in the long run! To make your ...
Skinny Creamy Cauliflower Soup
The first time I made this soup, I wasn't sure what to expect, and I wasn't sure it would be that great. It's basically made of pureed cauliflower, and to me, this sounds very similar to baby food. However, this soup definitely proved my early judgments to be wrong, and it ended up shining as a great healthy and delicious meal. When cauliflower is pureed, it gives off a really creamy and decadent texture, and you forget that what you are eating is actually really healthy and good for you. When I made the soup, I made it vegetarian style, but it could be made for ...
Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I pretty much love crock pot recipes because they are usually fairly easy and cheap. They usually don't have too many ingredients, most you probably have on hand already. This recipe is done in a pretty quick amount of time in crock pot terms, too- 3 to 4 hours. When I made this last week, it left a really delightful smell in the house, and even being a vegetarian I was drooling looks at this. The sauce looks really good, and I think it pairs perfectly with a nice crisp lettuce wrap. You could also opt to serve this over rice, or in taco shells...I think there are ...
