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?!

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?

Dark Coco Brownies
Okay, so you can totally taste the healthy in these, but in a delicious, I-don't-feel-too-bad-about-eating-these kinda way. They are 100% whole wheat and made with coconut oil, one of my favorite ingredients.

Pesto Pasta Salad
I call this a pasta because I enjoyed it cold, having made it with leftover flank steak from last night. I had a huge bunch of cilantro in the fridge (my favorite herb, ever!) so I decided to make a bright, lemony pesto with it. Whether you eat this warm or cold, it's definitely a winner!

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. 

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.

Zucchini Bikini Pumpkin Bread
We'll name this skinny version of Zucchini Bread after my Zucchini Bikini Soup. After all, it is much lighter than the zucchini bread I was told about. This is my first zucchini bread ever, as in the first I have ever tried, and therefore tried to make. (Okay, this one pictured is the second one, because round one of recipe testing was a major fail.) It's surprisingly delicious, moist (and almost fat free) and packed with healthy stuff. I also decided to add a fall twist with the pumpkin. You zucchini bread connoisseurs can try this out and let me know how I did.

Skinny Quiche
Every morning, I walk by the French bakery at my building and crave quiche. Creamy, cheesy, gooey quiche. And I always resist. Last Sunday, the craving inspired me to try making my own. Alas, I enjoyed creamy and cheesy goodness without any of the guilt.
