“The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”
Throughout my fitness journey, i've tried many diets and many recipes. I've gotten so bored (i'm NOT the type that can just eat chicken and cauliflower all day long), i've done the hard work of trying terrible healthy recipes, and great healhy recipes!
These are some of my favorite recipes that I ate while losing weight...
*FYI - these recipes do not have portion or serving information because they are all created for two people (I usually only cook for the hubby and I!) Please half or double as needed for your family.

Verde Chicken Chili
Every Sunday I struggle with finding a good "Sunday Meal"... you know, the type that cooks all day and makes the house smell AMAZING. But, these days I'm also looking for foods that aren't super heavy and loaded with calories. This Chili really hit the spot, it's different, but still feels like the good ol' comfort food that you're used to.

Lightened Up Stuffed French Toast with Strawberries and Bananas

Chicken Sausage and Veggie Bowl
It's so funny when I plan a meal and can tell that Geoff is not looking forward to it. He put this one off for SEVERAL days, trying to get out of it ;) But, we finally tried it last night and he even said that he liked it! With grilled chicken sausage, veggies, rice and avocado-ranch sauce... it WAS really good, super easy (and cheap!) to make, and only 430 calories.
