Butternet Squash Soup
Eating healthy usually means staying away from creamy soups like butternut squash soup. Typically, they have lots of cream and butter in them.
But, there is no reason you cannot have a hearty soup like this and still eat healthy.
Frittata
Whenever you have some leftover cooked vegetables, it’s time to make a frittata. Any of these will do fine:
- Asparagus
- Green beans
- Roasted peppers
- Broccoli
- Onions
- or … just about anything else.
It’s always best to use cooked vegetables because frittatas cook so fast.
Basic Scrambled Eggs
This simple egg recipe has half the cholesterol, half the fat, and almost half the calories of traditional scrambled eggs.
You won’t realize that when you eat them!
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Have you ever looked at the back of a jar of spaghetti sauce? The first ingredient is tomatoes, and it goes downhill from there. The second most prevalent ingredient in many supermarket sauces is corn syrup and/or other kinds of sugar. Then they hit you with the oils. Sure, there is some of the “good” fats like olive oil, but they are in there for flavoring. Many times you will find other unnecessary oils.
By making your own sauce, you control the sugars and oils and can make a simple, delicious sauce.
The same goes for the meatballs! Our meatballs are made from 50% beef and 50% ground turkey, cutting the fat content drastically.
Garlic French Fries
We all love french fries… but we know that deep fried foods can add so much fat to a meal.

Your family will never know they are not deep fried.
