Super Skinny Spaghetti Bolognese
This is where it's at! I tried spaghetti squash for the first time a few weeks ago and couldn't believe how easy, delicious and misleading it is. I can't eat it without feeling guilty, and have to constantly remind myself there are only 25 calories in a cup. I know this because I make myself Google the nutrition facts every time. Here it's serve with one of my faves - a bolognese sauce, also made skinny with lean turkey breast. Really rich, yet really light. What's not to love?

Southwest Turkey Chili
I used to make chili all the time. And I really mean, all the time! I woke up this morning with a small craving, and because I've been on a health kick, I decided I'd use ground turkey breast and give it a kick with southwestern flavors.

Inspired by lunch at La Cueva del Chango in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, this soup just tastes natural and authentic. There are no crazy spices and stocks to add flavor, it all comes from the ingredients -- poblano peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, yogurt and chicken breast. It's what I love most about authentic Mexican cuisine.

Cheesy Shrimp {and Chicken} Rice
A few awesome things about this recipe: 1) it's pretty fast 2) uses few ingredients that you might already have at home 3) it tastes rich, but it's really light 4) it's a one-pot wonder 5) I was testing for 2 servings and yielded at least 3 or 4... who doesn't like that?

Parisian Poulet
... or my French Chicken. Isn't it a beauty? I went to my local French bakery on Sunday with one of my bestest friends Vanessa, who ordered a mouth-watering baked ham and cheese croissant. Her croissant was my inspiration for this skinnier indulgence.

Broiled Barbecue Chicken
I learned this technique from a friend who, at first, made me think he was going to start a fire. And he almost did! After tasting it, I realized it was a delicious way to make delicious "barbecued" chicken, minus the fuss of the grill.

Coconut Chicken & Banana Waffles 
It wasn't until recently that I first tried Chicken & Waffles, and O-M-G, did I fall in love. I didn't think it could be easily made at home, much less made healthy. Wrong! Here is a fit twist on the Southern fave.

Chicken Roasted with Cherries
I've been cooking with (and snacking on) cherries for over a week, thanks to the love affair that began with the first bite of a delicious duck braised in cherries, wine and carrots,  during my trip to Piemonte in Italy last month. Here's one way I'm enjoying them here at home.

Coconut Curry Pita Pocket
I got the idea for this recipe after having the Coconut Curry Bun from Gigi's in Miami. What's missing from my version is the fluffy, delicious Korean bun, but for fit purposes, the whole wheat pita pocket is an excellent alternative.

Crispy Coconut Chicken with Mango Salsa
I let a friend take over my kitchen and he made this. It was so good (and so fit!) that it made it on the blog. If you love coconut and mango, and easy weeknight dinners, you will absolutely love this!
