Creamy Chicken Quesadilla - 250 Calories

This creamy, tasty quesadilla will satisfy your craving for a savory, cheesy snack or small meal...without all the calories! Often, on the weekends, my husband and I eat a lot of small meals. Not always healthy because it's the weekend! However, I've been trying to make the meals and snacks healthier even on the weekends so I don't wake up Monday feeling bad. This quesadilla is so easy to make. Check it out!

Cauli-Fried Rice. Only 146 Calories per Serving!

This cauli-fried rice is going to blow your mind. I didn't tell my husband it wasn't "rice" and he was saying "mmm mmm mmm". He loves the Chinese food buffets and I absolutely DO NOT. When I think of all the grease and MSG in the food, it grosses me out. Even the sauteed vegetables have some kind of sauce on them. SO! When I came across this idea I was so excited. I simplified it and made my own version. And now that I have perfected it I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!

Low Calorie Chopped Salad

Do you want a delicious, guilt free salad that you can enjoy OFTEN? I experimented with A LOT of different salad dressings, ingredients, and so on. My husband would like one but I wouldn't like it. Then I would like one and he wouldn't. I FINALLY found the perfect salad that we both enjoy. I have also served this salad at BBQ's and friends also love it. Well here it is!

Easy and Delicious Beef Soup

I have never been a beef soup person. I've always loved those creamy, fattening, carb filled soups. With my husband and I's lifestyle change, I wanted to find a way to enjoy the lighter broth soups that are good for you. I came up with the recipe below.

Delicious 200 Calorie Burger! At the bottom I've added a recipe for a low calorie Thousand Island dipping sauce.

Yes, it's true. This burger pocket is so delicious, you would NOT think it was 200 calories. My husband asked me if I was lying to him when I told him the calorie count. I had a really great picture all set up and my camera wouldn't work, so I ate it (not the camera..lol). I have the prep pictures though!

I have experimented with so many healthy recipes and ingredients and here it is! The first of my recipe posts. My healthy cheese and avocado omelette is so delicious, easy and cheap to make.
