Flavorful Chicken Wings Without Frying

I have a confession – I had never made Chicken Wings until two weeks ago. Now I understand the rage! The great thing about the recipe I used was that they were not fried….nor were they air-fried! There was an option to bake them in the oven, and I was so impressed with the results! These were so flavorful! The seasoning gave them the flavor that had us gnawing on the bones!

Skinny Taste has done it again!

3-Ingredient Healthier Queso

With the holiday season upon us, fattening foods are always lurking, ready to destroy any thought of healthy eating. Am I right? I have a great recipe for you that’s good enough to serve at a party, or for your snack craving tomorrow that will give you a healthy indulgence!

Last summer a friend told me about a “Cottage Cheese Queso” that she said was amazing and so much healthier. I was a little skeptical, but always looking for a way to cut calories and still eat delicious food, I wanted to give it a try. I’m usually slow to jump on the bandwagons of recipes that fly around the Internet, but this recipe has been on my radar ever since my friend’s suggestion. I tried it just a couple weeks ago. I’m sorry I waited so long!

Fresh Taco Salad for Lunch

I often find lunch a difficult meal to make. I could probably fix a different kind of sandwich every day and be a happy camper, but I try to limit bread, so I don’t want to make us sandwiches very often. So what are we to have that will be filling, healthy and delicious?

I found this recipe for Fresh Taco Salad in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine years ago and found that it was the perfect recipe for lunchtime! It has all the taco flavors we love served in the form of a healthy salad.

This comes together in minutes, making it a easy to prepare for a lunch meal!

I recently made a recipe that called for sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. Wow! These added so much flavor! Creamy feta is also part of the recipe. What great flavor and texture additions they were!

Low-Fat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie

I had a fun baking afternoon last week. I whipped up a batch of Low-Fat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. When I told my daughter Alli what I had made she said,

No cookie should be Low-fat!

I get what she’s saying, but honestly, I have tried many recipes that are labeled “low-fat,” but still have so much flavor. Also, they don’t taste like you’re eating the sand on the beach! This new recipe is one of those great finds! It replaces applesauce for some of the fat, giving it plenty of moisture. It has oatmeal in it, too, giving it texture and chewiness. Add those chocolate chips in there and you have a delicious cookie without the guilt!
