Skinny Stuffed Mushrooms
This recipe will probably inspire a really gooey, cheesy spinach artichoke dip... for now, it's just yummy stuffed mushrooms, made the skinny way.

Sweet Potato Skins
Baked with Gorgonzola cheese and homemade bacon bits... it's a party in your mouth... enough said!

Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad
This is probably the healthiest obsession I've ever had ... Brussels sprouts! And lucky for me, they are in season. If you don't think you are a fan, this recipe should make you a believer. It's easy and made with less than a handful of ingredients, one of those being bacon... sold yet?!

Skinny Bang Bang Shrimp
Bang Bang Shrimp is a crowd-pleaser, there's no doubt about that. But it's never a pleasure to feel yucky after devouring it. I found a way to make it light, easy and with all the BANG that you could want. 

Fruit & Feta Summer Salad
Here's an easy one for the dreadfully hot days we are having: add some refreshing fruit to your salad for a sweet twist. I say fruit instead of watermelon (as pictured) because you can easily swap the watermelon for sliced peaches, pineapple, berries, cherries, mangoes or a bit of each.

Holy Prosciutto! Panino
This sandwich is crazy good, and perfect for entertaining. I made these the day I got my Maggie. Paired with mimosas, it was the perfect ladies lunch. And, it's not as sinful as it tastes!  *Italian lesson inside.

Girl's Night Sliders
Wouldn't your friends thank you if you treated them to a yummy meal that didn't send them home wishing they hadn't worn their skinny jeans? Here is one idea. I took the ultimate bar food and made it skinny - these sliders are very low in fat, and high in protein and fiber. 

Caprese Salad with White Balsamic Vinegar Reduction
Who doesn't love a good, fresh Caprese Salad? To make the reduction, bring 1 cup of white (or dark) balsamic vinegar to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Boil until the vinegar reduces by half and takes on a syrupy consistency. Allow to cool and pour over the salad of freshly sliced ripe tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, shredded basil, extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper.

  

Sweet and Sour Soup
This impromptu soup may  become one of my favorites. It was supposed to be a Creamy CarroTomato Soup, until I decided to throw a few more ingredients in the pot and take it to a whole other level. You'll love it.

Ceviche de Mango
 I love me a good ceviche, but sometimes the fish isn’t all that fresh. Here is a refreshing remix – ripe, sweet mango is tossed together with tangy lime juice and thinly sliced red onion. This makes a great appetizer and also a  very sweet topping for grilled meats.
