We bet you all have resolved to eat lighter for at least a whole week. You don’t have to sacrifice flavor to eat healthy. Here are some options on the lighter side featuring ingredients you should be able to find in the middle of winter. We couldn’t resist slipping in one grilled recipe since our winters tend to be mild.

they all look amazing!
I SHOULD resolve to eat lighter. But need to keep up the fat stores to resist the cold temps. This looks so refreshing, I’d better lay off the hearty stew.
These lighter choices look and sound amazing Greg!
PS. Not much chance of snow in your parts, is there?
We might actually get some today. We had some in early December, but don’t tend to get much.
Wow, I had no idea!
That butternut salad looks like just the ting for me, though we are snowed in so I am going to cook a big pork roast. YUM! Though when I am dieting, I eat coleslaw all day long.. do you have a good coleslaw recipe!? c
What a great weekly menu! Definitely excited about trying the turkey burgers!
Excellent recipe ideas, accompanied by great photos. Actually, I AM trying to eat more healthfully. Thanks for posting these !
All of these look really wonderful, and I am particularly taken with the butternut squash stuffed with black beans. Never would have thought of that and I’ll bet it’s delicious.
Happy New Years! Thanks for the recipe round up and quite like the squash stuffed with black beans. It is the perfect time of the year to give these recipes a go! Take Care, BAM
