Creamy Pesto Caprese Potato Salad is a delicious spring and summer salad that is lightened up with Greek Yogurt! I wanted to make this salad as a tribute to spring and summer! With my garden rapidly growing, my herbs and tomatoes are sprouting like CRAZY! They are so tasty and had to include them in this fresh Creamy Pesto Caprese Potato Salad! It's lightened up by using Greek yogurt in place of mayo, and you will love the fresh tang it brings to the Caprese Potato Salad! I wanted to use the fresh basil from my garden, which I was super excited about. I love growing different things ...

Skinny Cheesy Enchilada Soup
Skinny Enchilada Soup is a simple recipe with tons of Mexican flavor and minimal calories! It's no secret that we eat a lot of soups over at our house. They are usually easy to make, the recipes can be doubled and frozen easily, they go good with most side dishes, and they are perfect for cold weather. 'Skinny' soups are also a great way to keep your calorie intake low (well, that and will power), because most healthy soups are fairly low calorie. I highly suggest doubling this recipe and freezing some for later, because it's delicious and makes an easy dinner, or quick ...
3 Herb Garlic Cheese Bread
We are HUGE dippers at my house. My husband often ‘jokes’ that whatever we are eating is just a vehicle for the sauce…because it’s all about the sauce! Over the weekend I decided to cook up some delicious cheesy bread to take to a Mother’s Day BBQ, and I knew that Barilla® Sauce would be the perfect dipping sauce. Of course, I was right! I used some dough I whipped up the night before and then added fresh herbs from my garden and mounds of delicious mozzarella cheese. Can’t go wrong with that! Using the fresh herbs definitely brings something extra to the regular ...
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 ...
Skinny French Onion Soup
If there is one soup that I love, it's French Onion. It's rich, decadent, and delicious. However, since I became a vegetarian, I realized that this soup is actually made with a beef broth base (no!!), and although I may have had it a few times since becoming a veggie (give me a break!), I wanted to find a way to make it using a vegetable base. Turns out making it with vegetable broth is just as delicious, as long as you give the onions the time it takes to carmalize and brown. I also decided to lighten it up a bit, and make it into a super low calorie meal. Adding ...
Spicy Steamed Bok Choy
Being vegetarians, we are always looking for interesting new recipes to try. I love going to our local Asian Farmers Market (which i will be writing another post about in the near future), and finding new vegetables and things to try. If you haven't found your local Asian Farmers Market, you need to get on Google or Yelp and look for it right now. Not only do they have an incredible amount of produce, meat, and exotic foods, but I guarantee the prices on produce are the cheapest you will see anywhere. You will find things for half the price you would pay at your ...
