Wow…What a powerful bowl of antioxidants and fiber in this delicious, yogurt and berry medley.  We love this and eat it almost everyday.  If you’re looking to dry out for a few days, this medley is perfect to eat for breakfast, lunch or both.  The fiber from the berries and cereal keeps you really full [...]

Most of us love fried chicken.  But did you know, a KFC’s extra crispy chicken breast has 470 calories and 28 grams of fat?  Don’t fret.  My skinny fried chicken is a mere 304 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving. It’s juicy, tender, crunchy and fantastic.  Next time you’re inclined to stop by [...]

Everybody loves smoothies.  They’re yummy, fruity and delicious.  The banana berry smoothie is one of the most popular at Jamba.  Ours is chock-full of vitamins and fiber thanks to the frozen blueberries, strawberries, banana, and juices.  We’ve cut down on the amount of yogurt and sorbet and added some frozen strawberries to make a bit [...]

It’s not at all like a typical grilled ham and cheese.  It’s very tasty with thin slices of dill pickle and mustard added, plus dipped into a buttermilk and egg batter before grilling.  A French toast of sorts.  It’s skinny due to using a fiber rich whole [...]

This peasant style stew is so hearty and perfect to make for St Patrick’s Day.  What goes into this celebrated dish is a matter of dispute.  Purist feel the only acceptable ingredients are mutton chops or lamb, potatoes, onions and water.  Others feel adding carrots, turnips and barley are the way to go.  We’ve made [...]

We love to remake many of the recipes at California Pizza Kitchen.  This skinny remake isn’t on their menu anymore but comes from one of their cookbooks.  Chicken Caesar salad is very popular. Placing it on top of a pizza makes it a sensational, hearty, salad meal.  Our version is so much skinnier since we’re [...]
