Lightly Cooking

It seems that everyone sets a New Years resolution to eat healthier, lose weight, or get in shape. I have never made any of those things my resolution in previous years. In the past I always seemed to start eating healthier or exercising in the late spring early summer. Don't ask me why but that's just how it always end up.

Well, on Friday, while standing the kitchen with my hubby, I decided that I was going to lose weight. I'm not unhappy with my weight necessarily but I have about 25 pounds that I wouldn't mind if they decided to pack up and leave.

So here are my goals.

1. I want to be down a size by my birthday in July.

2. I will eat no more than 1400 calories a day.

3. I am going to be cooking a lot healthier.

I tell you all of this because you will start to notice a change on my blog. I am going to start listing the calorie, fat, sodium, carb, fiber, and protein content of every recipe I post on here. And you will notice that the portion sizes will be smaller and a lot healthier!

I hope you enjoy these lighter recipes even if you're not trying to lose weight. Hopefully these recipes will encourage you to at least eat a few more fruits and veggies and to cook a bit healthier.

Here goes nothing!
